Here's a comparative look at  the Redmi Note 4 vs Zenfone 3S Max.

Camera

Despite the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 offering a 13MP primary camera and a 5MP front camera it doesn't deliver the best shots in low light situations. The images on the Zenfone 3S Max are far more refined with less noise. The camera app on the 3S Max also offers some very nice features that users will appreciate. The Winner here is: Zenfone 3S Max

Software

The 3S Max runs Android Nougat while the Redmi Note 4 comes with Marshmallow, that's quickly upgrade-able to Nougat. Both devices run their own skin, which aren't the greatest. The ZenUI sadly is a lot more clunky and convoluted thereby giving the edge here to the Redmi. Advantage: Redmi Note 4

Which Should You Buy? Redmi Note 4 vs Zenfone 3S Max

In terms of performance, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 outshines its competitors and the ASUS Zenfone 3S Max is no exception. In terms of price, the Note 4 is Rs. 2000 less than the 3S Max. The only place where the Redmi fails to shine is the camera department, especially low light conditions. Then there's the problem of getting your hands on the device as it is only sold through Flash Sales. I managed to get my hands on the Redmi after 3 weeks of trying. Buying via Flash sales is NO FUN. If you agree with me, out goes the Redmi!

Whatever device you finally choose to buy, be sure to check if good service centers are available in your area, just in case you need to fix some issue later.
