Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note this week and has promised a sale for the Note commencing on December 2. Flipkart has already started taking registrations for the December 2 sale.

Many may know that the Xiaomi Redmi Note has two variants. While one is a non-4G version, the other is a 4G variant. The 4G variant features a different chipset as compared to the non-4G version. While one is an 8-core processor based on an MTK chipset, the 4G variant features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core processor. Both have 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage with a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. The two smartphones have almost identical performances.

The choice is completely yours whether you would want to spend for a 4G version or settle for the non-4G Redmi Note. If you city has a 4G service, you would benefit from it. However, other citied will soon adapt the 4G service and you could be left out later.
