Best Xiaomi Smartphones in India

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is currently the best Xiaomi phone in India. The device is available in three different variant and starts as low as Rs. 9,999. However, we reckon the best version to buy is the 4GB + 32GB variant, which offers the right balance of power and performance. The device is large but comfortable offering a 5.5-inch display and is well built. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 is in-charge of performance duties and it does it well. It is not the fastest phone in its price segment, but provides adequate performance along with a stellar two day battery life. In addition, the new 13MP camera is a definite improvement over its predecessor.

The Xiaomi Mi Max 2 in some ways is a bigger version of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. It is running on the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC, but unlike the Redmi Note 4, comes with Android Nougat out of the box. It has a large 6.44-inch FHD display, which combined with the massive 5330mAh battery makes it one of the best media consumption devices available today. Over its predecessor, the phone has been slimmed down and the camera has also been improved drastically.

If you want to get the most of your money’s worth, then the top variant of the Xiaomi Redmi 4 is the one for you. The device offers 64GB of storage at just Rs 10,999, which is good value for money. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 SoC, which is less powerful than the SD625 used on the Redmi Note 4, but still manages to be fast enough for the price. The smaller 5-inch device however packs a similar sized battery as the Redmi Note 4 and thus also goes on for 2 days on a single charge.

If you are short on cash, the base variant of the Xiaomi Redmi 4 should be your choice. It is currently the best phone to buy if you can’t extend your budget beyond 7K. Like its more expensive variants, the base variant of the device is also powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 platform. The 16GB might be a little less considering how much data and storage space we consume these days, but that can solved by simply adding a microSD card to the phone. The phone also has a decent camera at rear, which is also one of the best in 7K category.

The last phone on this list is also the most inexpensive smartphone Xiaomi makes. The Xiaomi Redmi 4A stands firmly in the offline space against the like of Micromax, Lava, Karbonn and more. It was also the first Xiaomi phone to be launched offline. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 420 platform, which is a quad-core processor and is powerful enough to handle day to day to tasks with ease. You also get a fairly large 3120mAh battery and usable 13MP rear camera on the device.
