Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X with Snapdragon 653, 4GB RAM to launch in India?

Seems like the use of Mediatek chips in Xiaomi phones will remian as it enters 2017 and a new slew of releases as the Redmi Note 4 that was unveiled in China earlier this year is all set to make its India appearance in a brand new bumped up "pro" avatar.

Named the Redmi Note 4X the device will share the same aesthetics as the original chinese version of the Redmi Note 4, what will change is the chipset from the Decacore Helio X20 chipset this Indian Redmi Note 4 pro device will reportedly feature a snapdragon 653 chipset and going by what we have seen it perform in the Xiaomi Mi Max (Snapdragon 652) and Redmi Note 3 pro (Snapdragon 650) the SD 653 promises to be a performance beast with all other goodies of the original Redmi Note 4 like the all metal body with chamfered edges, Big battery of 4100mAH, Dual sim (hybrid) and more.

Rumored changes also include a bumped up 16MP primary camera (like the Redmi note 3 pro), 4GB RAM variant with 64GB inbuilt storage, and the latest Blue and Black variants of the device (including the silver, grey and Gold standard variants). The big question remains if the pricing will hit the sweet spot of 11-15k INR?

All in all this seems to be an exciting start for the Chinese phone maker provided it follows it up well with the Mi6 and Mi Max 2 in India.
