Xiaomi Redmi 4A Cons- 5 Reasons not to buy
Low internal storage and no dedicated microSD card slot
Redmi 4A comes with hybrid sim card slot which means that, you can use 2 sim cards or 1 sim card with a microSD card. It has 16GB of internal storage of which around 8GB is user available. So if you are a dual sim user, then you will get very limited space to install apps and other media files.
Average camera performance in artificial light and low light
Xiaomi Redmi 4A sports 13MP primary camera with a 5-element lens and f/2.2 aperture. The camera is assisted by LED flash and software features such as low-light enhancement, HDR, panorama, burst mode, and face recognition etc. It also has 5MP front facing camera with an f/2.2.
The camera performance in good lighting condition is satisfactory. However, in low light and artificial lighting conditions, it struggles. The pictures came out quite grainy.
No backlit capacitive navigation keys
The capacitive keys are not backlit. It takes bit of time to get used to it. It would have been better if it had backlit capacitive keys which will be useful in night.
No Fingerprint scanner and NFC
Considering price, lack of fingerprint scanner and NFC can be ignored. But if you are looking for a smartphone with fingerprint scanner, then it is not for you.
No earphones in the retail box
You have to buy a earphone separately if you want to use earphones with this device.
