Conclusion:

The comparison above showcases the best models and their respective variants offered by smartphone makers on paper. It does not take into account the real world performance or the integration of the hardware with the software. Going by pure specifications, I would personally go in for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 in the entry-level segment.

The smartphone packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 in comparison to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 series and MediaTek MT 6737 in other smartphones. Clearly, the 625 is more powerful when it comes to gaming and raw power and simply cannot be compared to the performance numbers we have with the 400 Series by Qualcomm.

Another important factor for choosing the Redmi Note 4 over the others is the flexibility that Xiaomi gives you to choose between 3 internal storage capacities and RAM options. However, if you are on a tight budget, the Redmi 4 is your next best choice.
