The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 on the front panel has capacitive backlit navigation buttons while Honor 6X has onscreen buttons onscreen.

Talking about the specification, both the handsets have a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) displays. The company’s own Kirin 655 chipset has been used in Honor 6X. At the same time, the Redmi Note 4 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. The smartphones come with different RAM and storage. The most expensive variants of both phones are 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. It is worth noting that the top variant of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 will be yours for Rs 12,999. At the same time, you will get the most expensive variant of Huawei’s phone for Rs 15,999. Both phones come with hybrid dual sim slots, that is, you also have the option to increase storage.

Talking about the camera department, Honor 6 x 16 megapixels and two rear cameras of 2 megapixels are much better. You will get an 8 megapixel sensor on the front panel. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 has a 13 -megapixel rear and a 5 -megapixel front camera. From both devices you will be able to shoot videos of 1080 pixels resolution.

You will get 4100 mAh battery in Redmi Note 4 compared to a 3340 mAh battery of Honor 6X. Both phones come with 4G and VoLTE connectivity. And they come with their OS based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The most important feature of Honor 6X is the dual camera setup. In the rest of the department, it gets a strong challenge from the Redmi Note 4, especially in terms of price and big battery. Honor 6X is available on Amazon India through a flash cell.

Other differences
In the review we found that Honor 6X is a reliable product like its previous variant. However, there is nothing special in this that you want to buy it. It would have been good if Honor would have given Wi-Fi 802.11 AC support, USB Type-C connector and real dual SIM support. The dual camera setup is a trick and does not feel the need. Performance could have been better in low light.

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.
