The success of Chinese smartphone companies is surprising. Take at least Xiaomi. Five years ago, few people heard about this brand. And now the company is fiercely fighting for top positions in the modern mobile device market. Mystery. But I think the answer is simple. The manufacturer offers high-quality, modern devices with good performance for adequate money. Masters of the industry are used to making money on a brand. Buying, for example, a smartphone from Samsung, you pay a tidy sum for the image of the company logo on the case. Xiaomi does not suffer from this. So her devices are flying like hot cakes. And they are surprisingly good quality. Take at least Xiaomi Redmi 4A 32GB. The characteristics of this "state employee" put the giants of the "smartphone industry" in an awkward position, since they did not even imagine that devices of this level could be sold for a penny.
A little about the company
Xiaomi was founded in 2010. She immediately started developing her own MIUI firmware. And only in 2011 the first smartphone from this manufacturer was released. He used thiswildly popular that the entire batch was sold out in a matter of minutes. Encouraged by the success, Xiaomi began to develop new devices. And all of them have received ardent user support. Until 2013, the company sold gadgets at cost, that is, they did not earn a penny. However, this did not prevent her from continuing to develop and release new smartphones. The company's management decided to flood all market segments with its products. And even the budget segment. Proof of this is the smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 4A 32GB. Its characteristics allow us to hope that it will become a bestseller among entry-level devices.
Look & Design
What can you say about the design of the new state employees? Only that you will not find any frills in it. The case is completely one-piece, but made of plastic. The front panel is covered with tempered Corning Gorilla Glass with an oleophobic coating. The front part is made according to standard canons: under the screen there are three touch-sensitive navigation buttons, and above the display there is a mesh of the earpiece, a front camera and a proximity sensor. Everything is strict and tasteful. It is worth noting that no matter what color the back panel is, the front panel is always white. This is the corporate identity of Xiaomi Redmi 4A Pro 32GB. We will analyze its characteristics a little later. On the rear panel is the main camera eye and two-tone LED flash. And at the very bottom of the case is a speaker grille. Mechanical controls are located on the side faces of the device. As you can see, the locationall elements are standard. Exactly the same as in other budget devices. Now consider the new screen.
Screen specifications
So, which display is installed in Xiaomi Redmi 4A 32GB? Specifications from the manufacturer say that it is very good (for a budget device). The device has a five-inch display with an IPS matrix, created using OGS technology. This means that there is no air gap between the glass and the screen itself. This helps to achieve more accurate color reproduction. The screen resolution is 1280 by 720 pixels. This is the HD standard. The maximum brightness is quite enough so that on a sunny day you can see something on the screen. Viewing angles are pretty decent. As with any IPS display. Now about the pixel density. It is 293 dpi. For an HD screen, this state of affairs is common. Be that as it may, it is impossible to see the pixelation of text with the naked eye. The contrast is 533 to 1. In general, the smartphone received a very high-quality screen. And this once again confirms the theory that Xiaomi does not care about the brand. They do everything for the customers.
Hardware platform specifications
So we got to the most interesting part. How is the performance of Xiaomi Redmi 4A 32GB EU Black? The characteristics declared by the manufacturer indicate that the device can boast of its power. Moreover, it is the most powerful device inbudget segment. Judge for yourself. The gadget has a 64-bit quad-core processor from Qualcomm. RAM - 2 gigabytes. Plus a fairly advanced graphics coprocessor from Adreno. This allows the smartphone not only to work quickly, clearly and smoothly, but also not to experience difficulties when launching games, which is usually not designed for budget devices. In addition, the device supports the latest generation LTE communication standard, has high-speed Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmitters, and an advanced GPS module. The internal flash drive is designed for 16 gigabytes. But you can easily increase the amount of memory with a micro-SD flash drive up to 256 gigabytes. Pretty good specs for an entry-level device.
Cameras (back and front)
A review of the technical characteristics of Xiaomi Redmi 4A 32GB is unthinkable without mentioning the cameras. And there is something to talk about here. The main camera is represented by a 13-megapixel fast wide-angle module with an aperture of 2.2. What does it mean? This means that a budget device can produce high-quality photos without much effort. In addition, there is a completely manual setting of all camera features and a full HDR mode. Also, the photomodule can record HD video with stereo sound. Apparently, the main camera is the second most "cool" thing after the screen in this smartphone. With the front camera, too, everything is in order. This is a five-megapixel wide-angle and fast module that does an excellent job with photography.even in low light conditions. This camera also has manual settings for some options, which is not often seen even in flagships. In general, cameras in 4A only please. And who's to say that this is a budget device? The cameras of the device are definitely drawn to the middle price segment, but not to the budget one. As, in principle, the screen of the device. And for this honor and praise to the engineers of the company. It seems that they do not care about their own benefit, but about users and fans of the company's products. If so, then such people are priceless. Although it is likely that they are earning a good name in this way.
Software platform
Now let's move on to the Xiaomi Redmi 4A 2-32GB operating system. The characteristics of the hardware allow us to hope that something from the most recent "Android" will be installed. The smartphone has OS version 6.0.1 installed under the proprietary shell MIUI 8.1.4. The latter is a very successful mix of the design of "Samsung" and Apple iPhone. The proprietary shell works surprisingly fast and bug-free. And it does not affect the speed of the Android itself. On the contrary, the arrangement of elements in the shell, as well as many interface settings, allow you to customize the device as much as possible "for yourself." In addition, the dull and boring standard "Android" is already tired of everyone. As for the unnecessary Chinese software, it is not at all in the international version of the firmware. But if you bought a device in China, then be prepared for the fact that you have to change"Android" into adequate European.
Battery
And what about the autonomy of Xiaomi Redmi 4A 32GB Gray? The characteristics of the battery make you think that everything is pretty good with autonomy. The novelty has a lithium-polymer non-removable battery with a capacity of 3120 mAh, which, given the power of the gadget, may be quite acceptable. Real tests have shown that in the game mode the smartphone "lives" for about five hours. In intensive load mode (data transfer, Internet, music / video), it is able to work almost the whole day. But no one has yet tested it for "survivability" in standby mode. Even manufacturers. Yes, it's not that important. Something else is much more important: in mixed mode, this smartphone can live a full two days. This is the most autonomous device with a similar power of the "iron" component. There is a deep optimization of the hardware and operating system of the device. By the way, it charges in 3 hours when using the "native" charger. There is no fast charging option (as well as wireless). But a budget device does not need such difficulties.
Smartphone positioning
So, who can use Xiaomi Redmi Note 4A 3GB 32GB? Its characteristics indicate that any average user who needs an inexpensive, moderately powerful and reliable device can become a potential buyer. But we won'tforget about the appearance. For many, the look of a smartphone is everything. It's safe to say that the 4A will be a real hit, as it's cheap, has all the options you need, and is quite capable of running even games. It also plays an important role that there is no overpayment for the brand, which mobile industry giants like Samsung are so fond of doing.
Reviews about the device
Of course, there are already those who have purchased a new product from Xiaomi. They leave reviews about the smartphone to help other users make their choice. And what do people say about this device? Oddly enough, reviews about Xiaomi are mostly positive. Everyone likes the price of the device without exception. The owners of this smartphone believe (and quite rightly) that the gadget has no analogues in this price segment. Millions of users admire the power of the device (and deservedly so), its appearance and autonomy. This is almost the only case when a mobile phone is not spoken negatively. Such a precedent has never happened before in our practice. And the whining of the trolls that Chinese gadgets are not worthy of attention should not be taken seriously.
Conclusion
So, we have considered what is a budget smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 4A 32GB Black. The characteristics of the gadget are such that it can be easily attributed to the devices of the middle price segment. But the price is really budget, which can not but rejoice. There is no doubt that the smartphone will appeal to many. Who knows, maybe even old fans of Samsung and iPhones will soontime will turn away from their idols. Everything goes towards that. In the meantime, let's hope that Xiaomi does not get sick with the desire to make money on the brand. As long as they are doing well. Let them continue in the same spirit.
