Redmi A4 5G Review: Should You Buy in 10 Points
Shubh Bhushan
When picked up from the rear, one can easily mistake the A4 for a relatively premium phone for a few reasons. The camera island at the rear has been crafted beautifully, and when combined with the A4’s boxy structure, you will instantly be captivated.
Design
The Redmi A4 has a 6.88-inch LCD panel at the front. During my usage, I have felt that the screen can serve you well in your binge-watch sessions with great picture quality for the price and good colour consistency.
Display
The phone handled my routine tasks pretty well while hardly encountering hiccups. To give you a context, my routine tasks comprise social media surfing, calling, texting and binge-watching.
Performance
The Redmi A4 runs on Xiaomi HyperOS based on Android 14. My experience with the OS was slightly lacklustre. It felt sluggish in some instances, and I had run-ins with stutters at places I didn’t anticipate.
UI
The primary camera is adept at taking pleasing shots during daylight with nearly accurate colours, while the HDR is done adequately. Beyond this, it captures most of the details it sees.
Camera
The Redmi A4’s entire workload is fueled by its massive 5,160 mAh battery. This battery can easily last a day of binge-watching series, clicking pictures for social media, and casual gaming, with some capacity remaining for the next day.
Battery
At Rs 8,499, the Redmi A4 is ideal if you want a combination of a big display and supreme battery life for your nonstop movie marathon with reliable performance.
