Xiaomi Redmi 4A is the fourth generation smartphone in the redmi budget line of smartphones. It was announced in November 2016 and went on sale in January 2017.
Description
Xiaomi redmi 4a was presented as the cheapest and simplest smartphone of the three announced this year. Unlike xiaomi redmi 4 and 4 pro, the smartphone has slightly reduced characteristics and a simplified design, more similar to the design of redmi 3 smartphones. Initially it was sold only in China, but later began to be sold in the rest of the world.
The phone has a small 5-inch screen. The height of the device is 139.5 mm, the width is 70.4 mm, and the thickness is 8.5 mm. The body is made of plastic, the weight of the device is 131.5 grams. The small size of the device would have made it very ergonomic if the manufacturer had not saved on plastic. This plastic slips a lot in the hands, especially when using the phone for a long time. In addition, this plastic is quite fragile and it will not be difficult to damage it.
One of the features of the model is the multi-colored indicator of events. The colors on the LED can be customized for each event. It can also reflect the percentage of the phone's charge.
