The New Xiaomi Redmi 4A, which now Available for Pre-Booking is one of the Hot Market Dealer and on which everyone is focusing on (Especially in India). Because Device is offering some great aspects and Features in Under ₹5,999.
The Specs and the Features of the Device are amazing in this Price-Point, Let's have a Look.

Redmi Mi 4A Benchmarks:
The Device comes to be outstanding when it comes to its Specs, as you get a great Device at a very good Price Point. The device is running on Snapdragon 425 and Adreno 308 which is a nice thing, it is not the best one but you can Work hard on it. RAM is 2GB with a Custom based MIUI 8 OS, which makes it easy and more manageable for a person to use its Mobile Phone.
You can play Games Like Clash of Clans or Asphalt 8 or Morden Combat at a Medium Resolution (I recommend). Where at High Resolution it may get Heat up or Start Lagging.
The Design is Sleek and Mate Finish which looks decent and pretty in Hands. But you don't get Fingerprint Sensor here which is a sad update for the Mi 4A as the Security Graphs comes down on this one.
For a Normal and Daily use, the Redmi 4A is worth giving, good Camera and User-Friendly Interface. The MIUI 8 also offers a feature to Dual Login with some of your Apps with the different account. Like-Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter and etc. just like Parallel Space.
But for the Protection you don't get Gorilla Glass here as to make your Screen Shatter Proof. Where the Body is made up of Polycarbonate, which is light and not heavy to use. But remember Light Body or Non-Metal Body can be lead to a Greater Damage. And let me tell you Xiaomi Services are not that good in terms of repairing, as per my experience.
Hardware and Software with Android 6.0(Marshmallow) which is not the Latest One, but still a great option to choose if you can compromise with some the things for the Price.
The battery on the Device is 3120mAh, which gives a One Day Backup Life after a Full Charge (Company says). But you can expect it to be a 20-22 Hours Backup in One charge with HD Recording or on 4G.
Everything has some Goods and Bads and I think Redmi 4A can be a good option if you are ready to make some Compromises with yourself Like with Android Version, Fingerprint Scanner, and some Hardware Options, and Gorilla Glass Screening as well. Because we don't get everything at a Similar Price.

Chinese Benchmarks Redmi Mi 4X:
Hence the Mi 4X can take over the Mi 4A, where the Device comes running on Snapdragon 435. Which means a better Performance in terms of gaming and usage. The Redmi Mi 4A has a QuadCore Snapdragon 325 and where Redmi Mi 4X has an OctaCore Snapdragon 435. Both the Device Runs on Android 6.0 with 2GB of RAM.
They both come with MIUI 8 (A Custom OS by Xiaomi) which takes over the Interface and usage for a user to make it the better experience. The both run on Android 6.0( Marshmallow) where on Mi 4X you can get 6.0.1( Marshmallow).
Camera performance is same as they both are packed with 13MP Rear and 5MP Front for Selfies...or...SELFIES :* Which means no difference in the Camera performance, but ya on the Mi 4X you can get some detailed and better shots than Mi 4A.
The Battery on Redmi Mi 4X is 4100mAh which is higher than the Redmi Mi 4A(3120mAh). Means a longer battery life and a longer battery backup for the usage.
But in Mi 4X you get Finger Print Scanner to Lock or Unclock your Mobile Phone at the back of the Phone, where in Mi 4A there is no Fingerprint Scanner.
They both can record 1080p/30fps and both come with an aperture of f/2.2. And none of them has OIS or EIS Sensor for stable records or non-blurry images.
One thing which is exactly the same in both are that none of them comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass for the Protection of your Display from Damage.
For the Graphics, Mi 4X is also in lead with Adreno 505 as Mi 4A only has Adreno 308. As the graphics provide more detailed and more fluent Gaming experience or Apps performance.
Other than these both of them are quite similar and there is not so much difference.
Redmi 4X Unboxing:
Sample Shots with Redmi Mi 4X:
Both the Devices are good at their Place whether it is Xiaomi Redmi Mi 4A or Xiaomi Redmi Mi 4X. Well, in my opinion, Mi 4X could be taken but for that, you have to wait as the Mi 4A is available on Pre-Orders but Mi 4X is still in Clouds. If you can give 5999 then by paying 1K more you can go for a better option from the list. Because ₹1000 is not such a big amount and you will get some more depth in your Device with a One Level Up Performance. But if you are just good and don't want to wait much for the Mi 4X then Mi 4A is open for you and you can go for it Right now for the Pre-Orders.
I hope now you are Clear with your Voice and can make a Better Decision yourself without any confusion.
-Thanks for Reading.
