Comparison: xiaomi redmi note vs lg nexus 4

Now is the time to "rescue" from oblivion a terminal that has been on our website for some time now: the Google Nexus 4. One of the flagships of the most famous search engine on the network, which this time is measured against the Xiaomi Redmi Note, a Chinese Smartphone that arrives ready to give a lot of war and revolutionize the market for low-cost terminals. Once we expose each of its specifications it will be time to draw your own conclusions about its value for money. We are all? We begin:

Technical characteristics:

Designs: The Nexus is 133.9mm tall × 68.7mm wide × 9.1mm thick. A holographic texture has been placed on the glass back, which gives it a feeling of relief, even though it is smooth. It is resistant without protection and carrying it in your pocket, although it will be best not to check its real resistance to falls. The Xiaomi Redmi Note is larger, with dimensions of 154 mm high x 78.7 mm wide x 9.45 mm thick. It has a housing made of resistant black plastic on the front and white on the back.

Cameras: The Nexus 4 loses with its 8 megapixel rear lens compared to the 13 megapixel that accompany the Xiaomi, both with LED flash. The Google phone also highlights the possibility of taking photographs in any direction and then join them in incredible spherical and enveloping snapshots. As for its front cameras we can say that the Nexus 4 has 1.3 megapixels while the Xiaomi has a size of 5 megapixels. Video recordings are made in Full HD 1080p quality at 30 fps in both cases.

Screens: the Xiaomi is larger thanks to its 5.5-inch size compared to the 4.95-inch that the Nexus 4 presents. Its resolutions are also different: 1280 x 720 pixels in the case of the Redmi and 1280 x 768 pixels if we talk about the Nexus 4. Both terminals have IPS technology, which gives them very bright colors and a great viewing angle. The Google phone also features protection against accidents from the glass manufactured by the company Corning Gorilla Glass 2.

Processors: The Xiaomi has two models for sale: one with a Mediatek 6592 Octa-core CPU running at 1.4 GHz, accompanied by a Mali-450 GPU and 1GB of RAM; and another second with the same eight-core Mediatek 6592 processor but that runs at 1.7 Ghz, also accompanied by a Mali-450 GPU and with 2 GB of RAM. The Nexus 4 features a quad-core Qualcomm SnapdragonTM S4 CPU running at 1.5 GHz and Adreno 320 GPU. Its RAM memory is 2 GB. The Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system is present in the Google terminal, while MIUI V5 based on 4.2 Jelly Bean does the same with the Chinese terminal.

Internal memory: both smartphones have a model for sale of 8 GB, although in the case of the Nexus 4 we are also talking about another 16 GB ROM terminal. The Chinese phone has a microSD card slot, so its internal memory can be expanded up to 32 GB, a feature that the Nexus 4 does not include.

Connectivity: both terminals have basic networks such as 3G , WiFi or Bluetooth , without LTE / 4G technology being present in either case.

Batteries: The 3, 200 mAh capacity of the Redmi Note is well above the 2, 100 mAh of the Nexus 4, which will give it greater autonomy.
