Comparing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and Honor 6X

January 30, 2017

January 2017 has started off on a very good note for Indian smartphone consumers. The month has seen the launch of a number of good mid-range devices that gives buyers plenty of great choices when it comes to shopping for a good smartphone. In this post, we’ll take a look at two such devices, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and Honor 6X and see how they square up against each other.

Display

The Redmi Note 4 sports a 5.5-inch full HD display much like the Honor 6X. However its Sunlight Display technology makes the screen legible even in bright sunlight. In contrast, the screen in the Honor 6X doesn't look as bright nor are its viewing angles that good.

A bigger battery and a faster processor delivers for the Redmi Note 4. Users can squeeze in almost 2 days of usage on a single charge compared to the 1 day use on the Honor 6X.

Camera

Despite featuring a dual lens camera and an ultra fast focus time, the Honor 6X isn't displaying a remarkable improvement in image quality. The quality of shots in low light conditions is a big disappointment both on the selfie and rear cameras. The Redmi Note 4 however, is much improved over its previous version, with better quality images in low light conditions, though not as much as you'd like it to be. The camera fared much better in well lit conditions. On the camera front, I'd give the Redmi Note 4 a tiny advantage over the Honor 6X.

The Redmi Note 4 scores over the Honor 6X again in this segment as users get to download a beta version of the UI running Android Nougat once the phone goes on sale.

Other Specs

The Redmi Note 4 features a sturdy metal body with soft curves and a good grip. The placements of the buttons and camera lens gives it a clean overall finish. The Honor 6X is slimmer than the Redmi Note 4 and weighs slightly lighter. It is also made of an aluminium body, however, but its finish is not in the same league as the Note 4.

Final Thoughts

A comparison of the tech specs of the two devices indicate that you are likely to get more value for your money with Xiaomi's Redmi Note 4 than Huawei's SWAGphone, the Honor 6X. The Redmi Note 4 has a better display, a great design and good battery life while faring pretty decent in the camera department.
