RedMi Note 4 vs Honor 6X Gadget Review : An Exclusive Guide to Smart Pick

There is no doubt that the mid-range smartphones in India have disrupted the usual technology market of large.

It has become a trend among young generation to alter his/her device in exchange for the next upgrade model at an online store and we see it quite often.

But, to see how far these mid-range smartphones perform with respect to another, I have done research on two of my latest favourite phones in the market; one is  Honor 6X another one is  RedMi Note 4.
Given these two gadgets share similar features for quite a bit, it got even more interesting as I tried to differentiate in between, based on performances.

Where do these 2 devices stand in the current market?

Earlier Xiaomi had made stir in the Smartphone market with its Note 3 model launch and all were looking forward to its further development on RedMi Note 4(64GB variant), looking to that, another Chinese big player Honor, too launched it’s much-awaited model Honor 6X in India to give a competition at a similar price bracket of Rs. 12,999.
Having said that these two phones share similar price tag and most of the features on paper, you must be wondering which one to pick, then this review post is for you.

Redmi Note 4 vs Honor 6x :

1. Performance-Wise:

RedMi Note 4 does look good on paper than Honor 6X, but on practical usage I found both are equally good on regular performances but RedMi Note 4 takes an upper edge when it comes to multitasking(as I often prefer doing), power tasks and this model of Xiaomi is definitely for those who love gaming on smartphones.

2. Storage-Wise:

If you’re one like me, who often look for some extra internal storage space for pocket films then Xiaomi RedMi Note 4 will make you happy with 64GB mega storage, on the other hand, Honor 6X – 32GB internal will always lose out few points on this.

Although for both the devices you will find a hybrid sim slot

and the main issue to that is you can either place your second sim card or alternatively put an external flash card,

I feel a little bothered about Honor as they have only 32GB internal memory,

so when you run out of memory, the hybrid slot can only offer you with additional flash memory compromising with the secondary phone number.

With rather more dependable Qualcomm processor, 4GB Ram(instead of 3GB-Honor6X) and internal 64GB memory – I see RedMi Note 4 is a clear choice for any power users.

3. Display-Wise:

Xiaomi Note 4 and Honor 6X both has 5.5inch Full HD (1920×1080) with 2.5 curved edge glass display that looks amazing.

So, there is hardly much distinction to be done bare eyes but if I had to give an edge, Honor 6X is a little brighter and just a little crisper than the other.

4. Battery- Wise:

Nowadays, Smartphone offers lot of inbuilt functionalities that too can be extended via unlimited apps and 3D games on Android stores,

Equivalent to that you require more battery life than before, anything equal or more than 3000mAh power back-up is considered minimum these days.

Honor 6X is bundled with a battery of 3340mAh which is much lesser than Note 4’s – 4100mAh battery life that is expected to run for more than 2 days on regular usage.

This certainly disappointed me for sure, please let me know, what do you think of Honor’s battery life, do you think it’s sufficient?

5. Camera-Wise:

Being a camera lover first, how can I miss checking this feature?

Honor 6X in this segment will always stand tall, with it’s first of its kind dual rear camera – 12MP and 2MP clubbed with dual sensors.

I have found Honor 6X produces great pictures with vivid colours and contrast. It also has a normal 8MP front camera.

On the other hand, Note 4 has a normal 13MP rear but its front 5MP camera has a wide angle lens, although the rear camera is not as good as Honor’s dual cam, but RedMi Note 4’s wide-angle selfie cam seemed much useful in making creative selfies with larger aperture (rarely found on mobile selfie cameras).

My Final Thought on both the Smartphones:

If you’re not a mobile camera freak or love to own a power performance based phone with tonnes of useful features then Xiaomi Note 4 will be your clean choice without a doubt.

For girls who love to click photos often, post on Facebook and feel merry, Honor 6X camera is just for you.
