Switching between two SIM cards is fast, and the reception cellular network stable. With this technical data, you are guaranteed a high level of productivity when working with heavy applications.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

This phone combines the best ratio of characteristics, price and quality, therefore it is not deprived of attention from lovers of this kind of devices.

This smartphone differs from the previous model by the presence of an all-metal body and excellent assembly. 5.5-inch monitor is represented by an IPS matrix, and the screen settings allow you to change the temperature of the display colors.

In addition, there is a special mode that allows you to read comfortably at night. This phone's multi-touch supports 10 touches.

The color saturation of the screen is quite good even in the standard mode, however, when viewed from a wide angle, the white takes on a kind of warm tint.

The screen is covered with glass, on which there is, albeit insignificantly, an oleophobic coating.

Good performance can be attributed to both the filling of the smartphone and the operating system - the sixth version.

For lovers of road music, a built-in FM radio is provided, which can work even without a headset connected.

I would also like to note the remarkable performance of the fingerprint scanner, which is in no way inferior to similar devices on more expensive smartphones.
