**The Camera Performance of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G: A Comprehensive Review**

As I sat down to review the camera performance of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G, I couldn't help but feel excited about the prospect of putting this device's camera capabilities to the test. The phone's dual-camera setup, which includes a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter, promises some impressive features, including HDR mode and optical zoom. But how does it perform in real-world scenarios?

To get started, I decided to take my Redmi Note 4G outdoors on a sunny day. The device's camera app automatically switched to the primary camera, and I began panning slowly to capture its capabilities. The results were impressive - the image quality was sharp, with vibrant colors that popped off the screen. However, as I moved further away from the subject, the autofocus struggled to keep up, resulting in a slight loss of focus.

As I continued to pan, I noticed that the camera's ability to track moving subjects was decent, although not exceptional. The image stabilization seemed to be working well, with minimal blur or shake visible on the screen. However, when I zoomed in on specific areas of the image, I was disappointed to find that the resolution wasn't quite up to par. It was clear that this was a mid-range camera, rather than a high-end flagship model.

But what about low-light conditions? This is where the Redmi Note 4G's camera truly struggled. Without the flash enabled, images came out blurry and lacking in detail. The lack of depth and texture in the image was jarring, and I found myself wishing for more resolution and better noise reduction. However, when I manually enabled the flash, the camera's performance improved significantly, producing much sharper and more detailed images.

In indoor lighting conditions, the Redmi Note 4G's camera performed reasonably well, although it still struggled with low-light situations. The auto mode without Flash produced decent results, but with the addition of light, the image quality really came alive. I found myself wondering how different the experience would be if I had the option to use a flash or adjust the exposure manually.

The front-facing camera, which features a 5-megapixel sensor, was another story altogether. While it struggled in low-light conditions, producing blurry and soft images, it performed remarkably well when shot outdoors. The video quality was impressive, with crisp resolution and minimal noise visible on screen. However, as I continued to record, the exposure seemed to change dynamically, reflecting changes in lighting conditions.

In conclusion, while the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G's camera performance is certainly capable of producing some great results, it falls short in certain areas. The low-light capabilities are a major concern, and the camera struggles to produce high-quality images without sufficient light. However, with proper lighting and attention to detail, this device can still deliver impressive results.

Considering its price point of around $170 USD, I believe that the Redmi Note 4G's camera performance is relatively strong. While it may not match the quality of higher-end flagships or even mid-range cameras from other manufacturers, it provides a solid compromise for those on a budget.

**Video Recording with Front-Facing Camera**

One of the unique features of the Redmi Note 4G is its front-facing camera, which can shoot video at up to 720p HD. I took some time to record a sample video using this camera and was pleased with the results. The image quality was crisp and clear, and the autofocus performed well. However, as I continued to record, I noticed that the exposure seemed to change dynamically, reflecting changes in lighting conditions.

**Sample Images**

I took several sample images using the Redmi Note 4G's dual-camera setup, including some outdoor shots and a few indoor ones. The results were impressive, with sharp colors and vibrant details. However, when zooming in on specific areas of the image, I noticed that the resolution wasn't quite up to par.

**Camera Settings**

The Redmi Note 4G's camera app provides several settings options, including HDR mode, exposure compensation, and more. While these settings can be adjusted manually, it's worth noting that some features may require you to toggle on or off depending on your environment.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjit and I have this redmi note 4G variant with me which is sold in India for around 10,000 V flip cart that's around $170 and we'll be looking at the camera performance of this device in this review the rear facing camera is a 13 megap shooter with LED flash and it can record video up to 1080p uh whereas the front-facing camera is a 5 megap shooter so let's uh look at the camera interface for let me bring some objects nearby and as you can see uh you have the top to focus and it takes a second to focus and then you can take the snaps uh so it's not instant if you just hit like this yes it can but to get better pictures I would say just tap to an area and then take the shot you can also take the shots like this and it's pretty quick but as I mentioned as you can see these are the pictures this came out a little bit blurry because we did not tap exactly on this area but uh let's look at this one and this was a lot better and the picture quality I would say that you can take with this one as you can see uh this has a lot of text and then also as you can see it came out pretty decent the camera performance is actually pretty decent but before I show you the sample shots I've taken also a lot of sample shots in varing light conditions and also video with this one I've also shot some videos with the front facing camera I'll show you all that a bit later but let's first look at the interface of this device and if you hit here you get to the settings and from here you can change the iso Etc all these things you even have a HDR mode but let's go to the settings I'm in the advanc mode uh by default it'll be in the simple mode like this uh it takes a second to switch and this is the simple mode that you'll get but to get to all the options I would say switch over to the advanced mode and by default it'll be at the 4x3 ratio you can also move to 16x 9 and so it does offer a lot of options and we do also have HDR mode so this is the simple mode that we have um regarding resolution at 13 megapix it shoots at 4x3 ratio so let me actually show you the sample shots that I've taken with this device so that you can judge the camera performance these were shot with the 13 map rear facing camera of the redmi note 4G and as you can see in outdoor lighting conditions the pictures come out to be really sharp and they have good detail even the color accuracy is very good and the pictures are sharp we also have the HDR mode this is without the HDR mode and this was taken in the HDR mode another picture this is without HDR and this is in HDR though the HDR is there but the pictures look very artificial uh but in normal mode the color accuracy is pretty good I'm recording this video with the xiaomi redm note 4G variant at the highest setting possible that is 1080P and uh audio is also being recorded by the internal microphone of this device and this is my roof Carton and this is the shadowed area and this is the sunny area uh let me just uh slowly pan now to give you an idea how it behaves and I'm doing this handheld and we don't have any tap to focus so focusing is completely Auto so very close objects can be an issue but uh if you are about two or 1 and to 2 ft away then it does focus and let me just walk back normally now and it's a sunny day today so this should give you an idea about the video recording with this xiaomi redmi note 4G Outdoors on a sunny day now these were shot in semi-indoor condition and here I would say it does a okay job but not a very good job uh the pictures are not very sharp in these conditions and as you can see they come out to be little bit blur as you can see this picture but now when I zoom in there is not a lot of detail in the picture these were shot in completely artificial conditions in my office and I would say for the most part it does a decent job but again there is a loss of detail at times as you notice this was at auto mode without Flash here I manually enabled the Flash and it did a lot better job with forcefully enabling The Flash this is again without the Flash and here here I enabled the flash so in completely artificial light there is some loss of detail in the picture these were shot with the 5 megapixel front-facing camera and indoor shots are okay I would say but if there is a little bit of lighting the pictures come out pretty good this is in completely artificial lighting conditions uh in my office with the front facing camera this is a sample video recorded with the front facing camera of this redmi note 4G and this is outdoors so this should give you an idea how would be the video recording again we you don't have any tap to focus and as you can see if I move around the exposure changes so you be a judge and this is the front face uh recording with the front- facing camera of this device now recording this part of the footage with the front-facing camera of this redmi note 4G and this is in completely artificial light in my office so this should give you an idea how would be the video recording if it's recorded with the front- facing camera uh in completely artificial lighting conditions so what do I feel about the camera performance of this red note 4G as we have seen from the sample shots the camera performance is actually pretty good in outdoor lighting conditions where there's a ample of light the pictures come out to be really sharp yes the even have the HDR mode but I feel the colors look very artificial if you enable the HDR mode but when we move to indoor lighting conditions yes you can get some decent shots but you have to be a little bit careful because sometimes the shots can come out to be a little bit blurred uh though we have this LED flash as I mentioned earlier uh the LED flash is not very aggressive in some areas where I thought that with the flash enabled it would have taken better shots in auto mode The Flash was not enabled so had to toggle it on so you have to be a little bit careful in low lighting conditions and artificial light you have to manually enable The Flash to get better pictures so overall I would say it's a decent performing camera but in artificial lighting and in low lighting conditions it will struggle up a little bit now when we move to the front- facing camera which is a 5 megap shooter uh it can shoot video up to 720P HD and as we have seen from the sample shots the video quality that we got with the front facing camera was very good uh though it shoots at 720p the quality was very good in my opinion also for selfie shots the camera performance was very good so what do I feel about the camera performance of this redmi note 4G considering the price point it sells in India for around uh 10,000 rupees that's about us $170 if you take into account the price to Performance ratio I would say the camera performance on this redmi note 4G is very good yes it's not the best 13 mapix camera that we have seen and in low lighting conditions it does tend to struggle up a bit but as I mentioned taking into account the price to Performance ratio uh I would say the camera performance on this device is pretty good I've also posted several other videos on this redmi note 3G as well as the 4G variant so make sure you check them out and if you're not subscribed to my YouTube channel hit that subscribe button thanks for
