In 2017, xiaomi launched two new budget smartphones - redmi 4 pro and redmi 4X. Both devices are very similar both to each other and to the previous generation of the redmi line. In order for the user to understand which of these smartphones is the best to take, one needs to delve into their characteristics.
Redmi 4x
This smartphone has a screen diagonal of 5 inches. The IPS matrix has a not very high resolution - 1280 by 720 pixels. Even for a budget phone, this is a rather low parameter. The screen is bright, the viewing angles are large. When rotated, the colors darken.
Xiomi 4x has an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor, clocked at up to 1.4 GHz. The graphics accelerator is built into the processor.
The redmi 4x comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. It is possible to expand the memory using microSD up to 128 GB. Not the greatest indicators, but sufficient for use. For the price of this device, you can find solutions with a large amount of both RAM and ROM.
To check the performance, the antutu benchmark was used. In it, the smartphone scored only 44,000 points, and it can be compared with the middle class smartphones of the past.
There are 2 cameras, one for 13 megapixels, the other for 5 megapixels. Shooting video in fullHD 30fps resolution. The cameras are generally quite good and are not inferior to other devices in the same price segment.
A capacious 4100 mAh battery supports the device up to 10 hours of talk time.
Redmi 4 pro
This device, just like the previous one, has a 5-inch screen diagonal. The IPS matrix supports today's standard fullHD 1920x1080 resolution. The same resolution can be found on this year's flagships. The screen is not inferior in brightness to 4x, the viewing angles are large. When rotated, the colors darken.
The smartphone has a powerful enough qualcomm Snapdragon 625 eight-core processor with a clock speed of up to 2 GHz. The graphics accelerator, as in the case of the xiaomi redmi 4 x, is built into the processor.
Redmi 4 pro already has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of permanent memory on board. There is the possibility of expanding with a microSD memory card for another 128 GB. The amount of memory fully justifies its price and is more than enough for use.
Antutu gives 62,000 points. Judging by the benchmark tests, the device can compete with the representatives of this year's sub-flags.
The pro version has 2 cameras, which are identical to the cameras in redmi 4x. The photo quality is the same for the devices.
The smartphone has the same large 4100 mAh battery, but with support for fast charging technology. Due to the higher power consumption, the device holds about 8 hours of talk time.
Comparison with redmi 3x
Despite the fact that the redmi 4x is not far from its predecessor, it is still slightly better in terms of performance. The Redmi 3x has a similar sharpdragon 430 processor clocked at 1.4GHz. The amount of RAM is 2 GB, and the permanent memory is 32 GB. Also expandable by 128GB.
The characteristics important for performance are similar for the redmi 4x and for the redmi 3x, but after checking the latter through the anttu, we get only 36,000 points, which is much less than that of its receiver.
If you choose between these three devices, your best bet is the redmi 4 Pro. It has the highest performance at a similar price. You can buy it for 11 thousand rubles. The price of redmi 4x starts at 12 thousand rubles.
