My Verdict
Talking about global acceptance and popularity which in a way physiologically guarantees durability and reliability, I will personally go for Redmi note 7 rather than the Infinix S4. Also, the Redmi Note 7 comes a better specs  but if you can’t afford to add the extra money for it then the Hot S4 is still very cool.
