Xiaomi Redmi A4 5G launched in India as the first Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 powered phone, at a great price.
The first phone powered by the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chipset has arrived – the Xiaomi Redmi A4 5G has just been announced. The device will soon launch in India with a retail price of under Rs 10,000 (around 2.9 million VND), making it one of the most affordable 5G phones in the country.

In fact, the Xiaomi Redmi A4 5G has the same design as the Xiaomi Redmi 14R and Xiaomi Redmi 14C with a large circular rear camera cluster, containing a 50MP main camera.
The product is designed specifically for the Indian market. With an affordable price segment, the device is suitable for the majority of general users.
Xiaomi hasn't revealed the full specifications of the Xiaomi Redmi A4 5G, but the device is expected to feature a 6.7-inch LCD display with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Rumors also suggest that it will have an 8MP front camera as well as a 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging support.
In fact, the battery sizes and charging speeds of the iPhone and Galaxy have been pretty consistent. Samsung phones have topped out at 5,000 mAh for years, including the company's massive 6.8-inch Galaxy S Ultra. By contrast, the 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 4,685 mAh battery.

Meanwhile, most high-end phones from other major brands have larger batteries, including ultra-thin foldable phones like the Honor Magic V3 (which is 4.4mm thick when unfolded) which has a 5,150mAh battery. That's a lot bigger than the 4,400mAh battery in the big Galaxy Z Fold 6. The OnePlus 12, meanwhile, has a 5,400mAh battery.
Still, the iPhone experience isn't bad because Apple has the advantage of vertically integrating software and hardware, which helps the iPhone save power. In return, Samsung phones make up for it with larger batteries.
As a result, the latest iPhone 16 Pro Max only ranked third among the smartphones with the most "buffalo" batteries, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra was not far behind. In addition, the "Apple House" iPhone was also criticized when it came to charging speed.
Vivo X200 Pro Mini is small in size but still supports fast charging and large battery.
The iPhone only has 27W charging speeds while the Galaxy S24 Ultra only offers 45W charging speeds.
Meanwhile, phones like the Xiaomi 14T Pro have 120W wired charging speeds, which takes its 5,000 mAh battery from empty to 100% in just 23 minutes, or the Oppo Find X7 Ultra has 100W charging and charges twice as fast as the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
As for wireless charging, many Android phones already have 50W charging speeds, which is faster than wired charging on both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
