While both Redux and React manage state, they do it in very different ways:

Feature	React Internal State (useState, useReducer)	Redux
Scope	Component-level state	Application-wide state
Data Flow	Local to component or manually lifted	Centralized and flows in one direction
Update Mechanism	Directly with setter functions	Only through actions and reducers
Complexity Handling	Good for small/medium apps	Better for large, complex apps
Debugging Tools	Basic	Powerful tools like Redux DevTools
Boilerplate	Minimal	More (but less with Redux Toolkit)

In simple terms:
React’s state is great for local component state, but for large-scale data sharing across the app, Redux is the better choice.
