  1. the camera of this phone is considered good. but the photographer is very novice. She does not know how to take pictures. the shots are disgusting. Learn to take pictures first. amk: D

  2. Yet another paid review… 18900 doesn’t justify its price… 720p is a joke in this price tag for xiaomi…. When Samsung j7 2016 model is available in 17500 best value for money… Atleast maximum price should be 13500 for xiaomi redmi 4x
