other differences
In the review, we found that Honor 6X is a reliable product like its previous variants. However, there is nothing special in it that you would want to buy it. It would have been good if Honor had provided Wi-Fi 802.11ac support, USB Type-C connector and genuine dual SIM support in this phone. To be honest, the dual camera setup is an illusion and the need for it is not felt. Performance could have been better in low light.

Whereas Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is a great package. But there are shortcomings like hybrid SIM slot, lack of quick charging support and too many preloaded apps. We believe that Redmi Note 4 will give a strong challenge to smartphones in its segment or slightly more expensive ranges. This phone is a champion in terms of design, battery life and performance. For users who want a phone with a large display and good battery life in a budget, Redmi Note 4 is a good option.
