Its disappointing that the Blade A2 Plus doesn't come Android Nougat ready. Waiting for the next Android update is such a hateful thought! The Blade's skin has limited customization options and is also not as polished as the MIUI.

Final Thoughts

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and the ZTE Blade A2 Plus seem to be evenly matched on most counts, the bigger battery being the star feature of the Blade. However, this means, you're going to have to live with a hefty phone and that's something to think about. Also for Rs. 1000 less, you get less internal storage with the Blade. And there's no Android Nougat as well.On paper the Redmi Note 4 looks to have an edge over the ZTE Blade A2 Plus, but we'll have to see the reviews to see how they stack up performance-wise.
