List of problems in Redmi Note 4:
1.Unlocking Bootloader Issue:
As all other Xiaomi Phones, Redmi Note 4 comes with the locked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader on Xiaomi Phones is a very lengthy process and you need to wait for around 15days to unlock the bootloader. If you wish to enjoy the custom ROMs like Android N, Android O on Redmi Note 4 then you have to wait till you unlock the bootloader. In other Android phones, unlocking the bootloader is just a matter of minutes. Yes, the bootloader can be unlocked in the fraction of minutes in other android smartphones.
2.Charging Problem:
One of the reasons to choose Redmi Note 4 is the battery capacity provided by it. This phone offers a battery of 4000mAH which is huge. The sad part of this phone is that it does not support quick charging. It took 2 hours and 14 min to fully charge Redmi Note 4 from 0 to 100%. Thi charging time is extremely high when compared to Lenovo Vibe P2. Lenovo Vibe P2 also has a huge battery of 5000mAH and it supports the quick charge. So charging time is very less in Lenovo Vibe P2.

3.Confusing Build And Design:
Xiaomi claims Redmi Note 4 to be fully metal body phone. But actually, it is not. The whole upper and the lower parts separated by thin line is made up of plastic. The color on the plastic part is slightly different from that of color applied on the metal part. Therefore, it looks inconsistent in design and builds. The previously rounded design of Redmi Note 4 was pretty good because it gives a premium look.
4.No Screen Protection:
Redmi Note 4 lacks corning gorilla glass. It should at least have some kind of screen protection. No matter how cheap the phone is, but it should have screen protection I believe.
5. Camera problem:
The camera was one of the major weaknesses of Redmi Note 3 and the story still continues. The pictures taken in daylight are average and lacks clarity. Low light pictures are very dull from both rear and front facing camera. You get a decent camera in LeEco2 or CoolpasCool1 or Honor 6X.
