The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (GearBest | Amazon | Lazada) is very fast in 2D graphics, but has rather average performance in the 3D tests. In this benchmark, its CPU performance actually beat that of the ASUS ZenFone 3, which is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 used in the “regular” Redmi Note 4 models.
Gaming Performance – 3DMark
We tested the Redmi Note 4’s gaming performance using 3DMark, using the Ice Storm Unlimited test.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 | ASUS ZenFone 3 | honor 5C | OPPO F1s | |
Gaming Score | 14608 | 13956 | 11560 | 7666 |
Graphics | 16285 | 13484 | 11067 | 7511 |
Physics | 10737 | 15903 | 13698 | 8265 |
Graphics Test 1 | 94.5 fps | 80.5 fps | 63.4 fps | 49.4 fps |
Graphics Test 2 | 56.6 fps | 46.1 fps | 38.8 fps | 24.4 fps |
Physics Test | 34.1 fps | 50.5 fps | 43.5 fps | 26.2 fps |
The ARM Mali-T880 MP4 GPU powering the Redmi Note 4 (GearBest | Amazon | Lazada) was just a tad faster than the average-performing Qualcomm Adreno 506 GPU in the ASUS ZenFone 3. It will handle most 3D games quite well, but don’t expect it to handle the more strenuous 3D game titles.
Our Verdict
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (GearBest | Amazon | Lazada) was everything we expected of it. It offers a ton of remarkable features in a well-built package at a very affordable price point. That has always been Xiaomi’s core strength, and they did not stray far with the Redmi Note 4.
The Redmi Note 4 boasts a 10-core processor with a decent GPU, a large amount of RAM and a very generous amount of internal flash storage. All packed in a sleek anodised aluminium chassis. Even its 13 MP main camera performed better than expected for its price point.
Sure, it is not the best device for 3D gaming, but it was never meant to be one. The Redmi Note series was designed to be a range of affordable phablets, not 3D gaming devices. And Xiaomi sure delivered on their promise with the Redmi Note 4 (GearBest | Amazon | Lazada).
[adrotate banner=”4″]If there is something we feel we must point out, it is its rather lacklustre battery life. Xiaomi may boast about the large 4,100 mAh battery, but it lasted far less than smartphones with smaller batteries. It also takes longer than expected to recharge the battery.
Again, please note that this is the 10-core helio X20 model, not the 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 model.
Due to its tremendous value for money, we think the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (GearBest | Amazon | Lazada) deserves no less than our Reviewer’s Choice Award. Congratulations, Xiaomi!
