The Xiaomi Redmi 4 was launched today at a press event in New Delhi, India. It’s a budget phone that the company had launched in China last year in November, which is a successor to the Redmi 3s.
Redmi 3S was one of the most popular smartphones last year. We sold more than 4 million units of Redmi 3S during the life cycle of the product. Today we are thrilled to announce Redmi 4, which is an upgrade to Redmi 3S. Each of our Redmi devices have redefined the affordable smartphone segment in India, and we believe Redmi 4 too will meet the expectations of Mi Fans users who want high quality devices at an affordable price.
