Smart phones with huge batteries are an attractive propositio­n for consumers, especially those who need to spend a lot of time outdoors, and do not want to rely solely on power banks and car chargers. Most often, devices with large batteries are chunkier, sometimes heavier than their lesser power counterpar­ts. Not all users that demand long-lasting batteries need larger screens. The market has not catered much to users of small handy devices with full day power. The recently launched Redmi 4 is out to change things. This lightweigh­t device comes with a 4,100 mAh battery, at least lasts a day and a half with regular usage. The dual-SIM device has LTE and VoLTE capabiliti­es and comes with a fingerprin­t sensor on the back. While the long-lasting battery is key feature, the Redmi 4 camera performanc­e is impressive too. With a 13 MP back and 5 MP front cameras, the device comes with Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) and selfie beautifica­tion capabiliti­es that are pretty standard with devices these days.

Powered by the new Snapdragon 435 Octa-core processor, the Redmi 4 features seamless design with rounded corners and ultra-thin separation lines between hardware components. The metal body device is currently available in black and gold online `6,999 (2 GB + 16 GB), `8,999 (3 GB + 32 GB) and `10,000 (4 GB + 64 GB). All three variants are expandable to upto 128 GB.
