At the end, it all boils down to this. The Coolpad Cool1 Dual (first impressions) is a worthy rival to the Redmi Note 4, and entices because of its dual cameras and overall image quality.

At the end, it all boils down to this. The Coolpad Cool1 Dual (first impressions) is a worthy rival to the Redmi Note 4, and entices because of its dual cameras and overall image quality. However, it suffers from software issues. The Lenovo K6 Note also falls in the same price bracket, but comes with a less powerful Snapdragon 430 processor. The Moto G4 Plus (review) does offer better image quality, but offers a dated CPU and suffers from a few heating issues. The new Lenovo P2 (review) is unbeatable in terms of battery life, but is priced a tad higher and we’re not big fans of its shooting prowess. With its recent price drop, the Lenovo Z2 Plus (review) has become an attractive option too, especially considering it comes powered by a high-end Snapdragon 820 chip. However, it has its share of issues as well, such as a plain Jane design, so-so cameras and average battery life. In sum, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 does could do with a little bit of TLC in the camera department, but that niggle apart, comes across as very well-rounded, balanced (not to mention affordable) package… one you can buy without worry. So does Xiaomi have another blockbuster on its hands? We think so.
