The launch of the matte black variant of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 was a definite head turner. Firstly because launching a smartphone in a thorough matte black color meant adding volumes of panache in this price range of phone. Secondly, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4’s this color variant was announced to be made in India under the #MakeInIndia program.

The design of the phone is better than Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 with more curves and modish edges. Noteworthy is the poise that the black matte color brings with itself.
