The Redmi Note 4G’s outer shell is characterized byvery simple plastic surfacesthat prove to be stable on the whole. Strong pressure applied to the back of the device is visible on the screen, and if the smartphone isbent in the middle, the back side detaches slightly, but that is mostly due to the fact that the back side is removable. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G has aremovable batteryand a microSD slot, both of which are hidden alongside the SIM slot on the back side of thedevice.
It’s worth noting, however, that it takes a lot of strength to remove the back cover.The Xiaomi phablet only comes with ablack front and white back; there are no other coloroptions. The touch buttons under the display are marked in red and provide the phone’s case with a touch of color. The back side is glossy, so fingerprints and smudges are immediately visible, but it’s grippy enough that the phablet doesn’t easily fall out of your hand. The smartphone’s case isdesigned for maximum functionalityrather than flashy looks.When it comes to thickness, the Redmi Note 4G can’t keep up with its rivals. Almost every competing device is thinner. Only the Google Nexus 6is at 10 mm ( ~0.4 inches) somewhatthicker, but the Nexus’ curved back side makes it appear thinner.
