Other differences
We have not reviewed LG’s 10 (LTE). However, there is nothing special in this that you want to buy it. It would have been good if LG had given more RAM and storage and better display in the phone. It is a good thing to have dual sim slot and a separate microSD card support in the phone. And it appears somewhere in the case of specification and feature with a strong performance Redmi Note 4. It is easier to buy 10 of LG compared to the Redmi Note 4 sold out in a few seconds in the cell.
At the same time, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is a great package. But shortcomings like hybrid SIM slots, Quick charging support and very preloaded apps knock. We believe that the Redmi Note 4 will challenge its segment or a slightly expensive range smartphone. This phone is champion in terms of design, battery life and performance. Redmi Note 4 is a good option for users who want a big display and good battery life phone in the budget.
