Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 - Great build budget phone

My next budget phone has just arrived, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with 2GB RAM/16GB ROM. The look and build quality is great, not what you would expect from a budget smartphone. Here's my short and simple unboxing.

The box.

What's in the box.

Some informational leaflet in Chinese.

 Ejector pin.

Back camera, LED dual-tone flash and fingerprint sensor.

The screen.

Redmi Note 4 lower spec version comes with a slower charger. I'm quite disappointed with this. The faster charger has 5V-2A.

*Update ( 15/12/2016 ). There were previously only two variants of the Redmi Note 4, the 2GB RAM/16GB ROM, and 3GB/64GB variant. Xiaomi has released another variant 3GB/32GB. The 2GB RAM version is probably discontinued.

Two news colors were launched, blue and matte black.

Yi Dashcam Mobile App has a brand new look

Yi Technology just released a new version of the Yi Smart Dash Camera app on Google Play store. Version 2.0 has a new look with darker theme to it and more organized compared to the previous version. Load times seem to be slightly faster, from loading thumbnails to navigation.

Everything seems to be working fine with the Yi Dashcam that's on V-0.08.013 firmware. Will observe further for a week or two.

Here are some screenshots of version 2.0.
