Hey guys , i am about to buy a new phone and my options are: Nexus 5X, HTC M8 and Redmi Note 3 PRO.
I want to know which one has the : 1.better cpu/gpu for games
2.battery life and HEALTH over time because i want to stick with it at least 2 years.
3.which one is more future proof
I know the nexus 5x has the best support for CM which i like but the battery life is a very big downside.
And i want to know if its true that: if there is COLD WEATHER (-5/-10 degrees) outside the battery drains almost VERY fast ? FOR REDMI NOTE 3 PRO (i red this problems on a forum)
Hope you can guys help me sort it out.
Redmi Note 3 pro is definetly the best bang for buck, for performance and updates I'd go for 5X but that's much expensive than this device, I won't touch HTC.
In short, if you want a good phone for a decent price, go for Note 3 Pro, but if you want more performance then go for 5X, but in my opinion, kenzo has everything I need, good speed, fp sensor, and regular updates thanks to devs!

What? SD650 performs better than 808 in both CPU and GPU, not even mentioning temperatures difference, battery and no throttling in SD650. It's not reddit, so let's just stop falsely praise Nexus devices, while in terms of performance they are below Xiaomi models. Hell, on Kenzo you can easily get twice as much SOT as in Nexus 5X, it's like not even competition at this point. I switched from 5X to Redmi Note 3 Pro and I'd say it was big upgrade, kenzo is just better in almost every term.
To OP, in all 3 of these points kenzo destroys rivals, you'd get a bit worse camera but that's probably only downside of this device, if you don't really use it that often then there is just no reason to not buy RN3Pro, and about that problem, I'm often using it outside and where I live, right now there is like -7 to -12 degrees and I haven't seen any drain, battery drops normally just like when I'm home.

So 3 more questions: I DONT CARE ABOUT CAMERA FIRST.
1. For gaming which one is the better one from these 2?
2. If i live in a cold country the fast draining battery when its -5 -10 Degrees is a deal breaker?
3.I heard something about xiaomi note 4x with 653 is real or its the normal xiaomi note 4 snapdragon ?
Man...its around -20 celsius where I live everyday right now for over a month and kenzo works flawless... iPhones are dying because of that non stop...first time I hear it for kenzo...
As for performance...its amazing, no lagg, even Vulkan support, simply the best for this value, better from 5x in every segment...
Redmi note 4 came new with SD625 which is less powerful, but supposedly even more battery friendly...but I get around 8-10h SoT most of the time so it doesnt really matter, compared to 5x, like 3h

1. Between Redmi Note 3 Pro and Nexus 5X? Xiaomi, it has slightly better CPU and GPU but the real deal breaker is throttling and temperatures. On SD808 after some time it will get hot and CPU will start throttling, especially while playing for some time, on SD650 there is no such thing, phone might get a bit warmer, but you probably won't even feel it. Plus battery will drain a lot slower on 650.
2. I don't know about Nexus while it's cold because I got rid of mine before it's first winter, but Redmi Note 3 Pro doesn't really care about temperature outside. It works as good wherever it is.
3. Honestly I have no idea. I've heard about it too but after relase of Redmi Note 4 (Snapdragon) I'm not even sure if it's still gonna be relased. Guess we have to wait.

In battery life probably none, about gaming I can't tell, but I don't think that there is that much of price difference to save a little money, 3 gb would be overall better for future, but if I had to buy 2 gb version I'd probably switch instantly to some AOSP custom rom because MIUI used to eat 1,2-1,5gb ram on my 3 gb model so it would probably be a little left for gaming, and on custom roms it's mostly less than 1 gb usage for system. But by buying 3 GB u also get more storage which would probably be nice to have more games instead of wasting money for bigger SD card or something, so think about that too

For unlock bootloader you have to write for a permission, it takes 1-3 days for them to respond and after unlocking it's just pretty much same as in other devices, no problems at all.
About stability, there are tons of stable MM roms and quite a lot of Nougat ones. The only bugs are from what I know flashlight working sometimes after 2nd tap or 3rd and not as good fingerprint reading if you get the goodix model, but it's still not bad, and it's probably gonna be fixed soon. Except these ROMs are stable and have pretty much same battery life as MIUI (because it's very good in terms of battery) and, I'd say, smoother than stock. Benchmark-wise custom ROMs get like 10-20k more in Antutu, plus some of ROMs add Vulkan libs so if you change build.prop you can download and play Vulkan games, they perform really well!

No, it's free. You just have to ask for permission in MIUI site and wait for permission rights on your account, then you simply download one program from MIUI, connect device and click unlock button, it will do it automatically. But I heard that some people are having problem with that and have to first flash MIUI gloval dev via EDL to make program work, for me I didn't have to do anything, unlocked it on version that came with me from shop.

Yes, Redmi Note 4 isn't as powerful as RN3Pro. Though you would get better battery life with SD625, but it would be better choice if battery was more important for you than raw power, but I'd say kenzo has big enough battery so there is pretty much no reason to buy even longer lasting phone while in my case I'm charging phone like once for 3 days with ~3h SOT usage per day.
I just bought the Redmi Note 3 Pro Special Edition and I love it. It's taking forever to unlock because of Xiaomi servers not being updated timely but I love the phone. It's fast, Battery is amazing, 4K video and HD Slow motion are killer.

And is the construction or display better on REDMI NOTE 4? I heard its 2.5d its there a difference ?
we got fully stable cm14.1 with volte, awesome battery backup, dual sim, IR blaster, very good display. and all at very low price. nexus is very costly man. i think three times the price of kenzo.

Hello, I received the beast! First impressions very positive,
When the activation wore MIU 7 something and immediately had an upgrade available in 8!
The X20 seems to be doing quite well with the temperatures, I mean although they set kept within reasonable limits the temperature. Also thanks to the guide here on Google play installation forum, and I was able to pass the Google play and the goodies (contacts, calendar, etc.)
I will come back with more details when the handle a couple 2 days .....
It is my first experience with chinese apparatus generally. But I was a holder of the following devices until now: galaxy s, s3, Note 2, S4, LG G2, Note 3, LG G3 - Note 4, Lg G4, LG G5

Well we have and say, after 24 hours with redmi note 4:
1. Beautiful gold, as I see it and the habit so I like more. Generally very nice design (tastes of course is what)
2. Autonomy, very good 6-7 hours sot comfortably without restrictions
3. Photo Quality just good (not compare in any way with famous flagship)
4. Despite very quick smoothie with exemplary, very good work in MIUI 8 (6.0.1)
5. Very good speaker on the G5 I maybe better. Sound from the headphones is also very clear and powerful (tested with headphones gavio metallon)
6. Display good (not sure amoled) with excellent brightness! viewing angles simply good.
7. The fingerprint lightning fast, more or less like the LG G5
8. Google play had to spend manually (easily of course)
9. The device has anglokineziki rom.
10. It charges very fast (not just counted time will come back)
11. I placed the first day nova launcher pro (all my devices that I wear always), which I can say sat very well, and what I mean? In G5 I eg with nova launcher there is a conflict with the locking device and the fingerprint unlock, in redmi note 4 not encountered any problems, do not expect .......
12. Now to the issue of cpu temperatures, the temperature that can do with mobile, keep very reasonable! I did not expect you to read the earlier X10.

Hey hello,
i got mine 2 days ago here in Sofia, very good impression so far, i come from elephone p8000 with also 4100mAh battery, and gold collor, i must say battery very very good, too bad no fast charge but ok, no complain, good picture also in dark, fast, fast gps, lte good on both sims and wifi ok too, light weight, very very happy so far, my anututu was 81000.
I ordered a gold color tpu case and carbon back sticker so will see with that, nice to have notification light, also have fm radio... call quality hear and speak very good to.first xiaomi device and very happy, now... maybe .... CM13 but i put nova launcher so also ok....

Question: How is active battery life? Standby drain? Anything out of the ordinary with the X20? Since the first device with the X20 (ZOPO Speed 8) was so bad with it, I'm worried about EVERY device with the X20.

Great to hear. Turns out X20 isn't so bad after all!
Finally managed to get google play The battery life is great, only thing is that it charges pretty slowly but that could be because I'm using my old xiaomi plug which is lower output. Haven't had any problems so far but its top early to tell. Now I just need to wait for my bootloader to be unlocked
Been using it for a day now, managed to get pkay store and so far so good. Only thing is that when im watching videos on youtube or using CM browser sometimes the app will just close randomly. Not a big problem but it gets annoying when it happens often. Anyone else experiencing this as well?
Hi,
Tell me please does the Redmi Note 4 have NFC support? Some websites say yes, some say no.
Thanks
I get around 5 hours screen on time with my rmn4 . Great device !
No NFC..... Anyone know how to unlock bootloader?

Brother same here everything is closing automatically and frequently.. Did you get any solution.
Ive tweaked the permissions, power saving apps, restrictions, ect...Everything I found that could be possible, and I still get apps automatically shutting down. Even the ones I've locked into memory. I think there's some big bugs with Miui 8 so far, and needs a little polishing.

Same. I tried tweaking LMK values too. I actually get massive slow-downs now, I need to regularly clean memory (even if I only have Chrome open since cleaning memory before - Chrome itself will slow down and lag really badly).
Hope it's fixed soon. By three year old Xperia Z runs MIUI better than this lol...

Agreed, I hope it is fixed soon too. I was very excited to finally have an official MIUI device, but this runs like I'm in a beta program.
Just to give a feedback about this phone. I've been using it for 3 days now.
I'm not that kind of person that gives 5* review easily, but THIS PHONE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Best xiaomi buy ever, and MIUI 8 is impressive as well.
Well done Xiaomi!

Where did you purchase from and where abouts are you, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi right now I have a Samsung s3 mini value edition (words cannot describe how bad it is), and I have a limited budget to buy a new phone. I can't get anywhere near enough for op3. I'm stuck between this and Moto G4 plus. I can only afford the 2gb ram Moto. Do you think it's worth spending the extra for this. Will the 2gb ram severely limit the Moto and will it be laggy. I've heard things about heating issues and cpu issues on this device, and support issues. Is the software support bad? Thanks
one plus 2 is great device, yes it has problem with heating coz of snapdragon 810.. but if root and install cm 14.1 nougat version, the problem is less.. how about xiaomi phone. is cheap and fast phone.. i suggest get redmi note 3... snapdragon 650 and 3g ram.. it also a lot of custom rom and development but the real problem is to unlock bootloader.. it quiet difficult
Hey bro, listen up!
It all depends on your personal preference.
But if u are asking me to choose from one of the devices you mentioned above, oneplus 2 would be the most obvious choice reason being it was a flagship device, so its got a hell lot more support than the moto g4. For the other departments like Screen quality, build quality, battery life might equivalent in both the devices but oneplus excells in sheer performance, good looks, low light camera performance. On the other hand, fast charging, expandable storage faster android updates may be the + points in moto g4. And regarding heating, the oneplus heats up like any other phone under heavy loads, i mean its just normal. Both the devices go upto 42-44 degrees if u r playing MC5 for about an hour.
Apart from these two devices, i would like you to go with none of 'em but Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro (3gb ram version). Its an excellent device with almost every feature in it pocket and will cost you same as the moto g4. Super good performance (snapdragon 650 is a beast) along with beefy battery which can give u 6-7 hours of sot even with heavy usage. Its got pretty good development support (2gb ram version is however not popular among devs) and a highly durable build quality. Moto g4 is simply no match for this dragon and it surely surpasses oneplus two overall. The only con i see in rn3 is the camera is on the weaker side but still its captures well in ample lighting conditions.
OnePlus 2 wud be my 1st choice, using it since last 1 year and i can say the development section is quite good, battery is decent display and usage is very smooth with negligible lag.
There was some heating issue but could be controlled with custom kernels.(ohh come on after all it had SD810 proccr, a little bit of heat issue is acceptable )
Still a happy owner of OnePlus 2
Thanks for all the replies . Unfortunately it doesn't look I'll be able to get a xiaomi because they are hard to get from China. Looks like the op2 will be the best choice then. Does it get decent support and updates from oneplus? I'll probably end up with custom roms eventually but it would be nice to know that the legit support is good.
Oneplus will officially support op2 until August 2017 atleast. And for xiaomi, u can try getting it from online sites like gearbest etc. They ship worldwide.
Thanks l. Gearbest looks good. As a last question, can any of you say how good the camera is between op2 and xiaomi note 3. (maybe the moto as well)

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Xiaomi Mi Max 2, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
According to me, it is one of the best phones in this price range. Overall performance is very much satisfactory
My Mi Max 2 arrived two days ago, i'm really really happy, battery lasts two days with strong use, and everything is smooth. It was not so easy to go through the unlock procedure but now i'm done.
Me to, very happy so far. Coming from Samsung Note4, and that seems to be the end of Samsung phones for me!

How does it compare to your old note 4? I have a note 2 that is just about completely dead and hope for a sizeable jump - my only real worry is camera quality.

Me too, i want to know as my note 4 is failing and would like to upgrade
I've a Note 3 running Resurrection rom. Just got this last Friday and love the bigger screen, I remember getting the note 1 and nobody could believe the size, and now the note 3 is just about average, lol. Anyways I'll be missing the stylus and removable battery, but other than that it seems good. Just waiting for the 72 hrs to pass so that I can root and unlock the thing. For less than half the price of a Note 8 and the same price here as a second-hand several year old note 4 I don't think you can do wrong.

Buddy, How is the screen quality conpared to the note 3?
It's amoled vs lcd / 380dpi vs 344dpi. Im really considering this one or the LG V20?
Is it too big for pockets?
Screen seems ok to me, it's not as vivid but wil do the job browsing and reading pdfs which is my main use. I've thousands of photos too and they seem ok. Sizewise it's longer and sticks out a little bit from my pockets but not enough to bother me.
I am in love with this device, But bit disappointing with MIUI which uses more ram. Waiting for stable custom rom.:fingers-crossed:
I have a Redmi Note 3. I'm looking for a larger phone. My mom wants to take my Redmi once I get a new phone.
My only concern with this phone is custom ROM support as I don't like using MIUI. Are the chances this will be supported by LineageOS officialy sometime soon? (Mi Max 1 seems to have great custom ROM support). If yes, I'll be buying this phone right away.
Also, I'm confused. Some pages mention this phone has NFC and some don't. Does it have NFC. Doesn't affect my descision to buy this phone but still.

Yes, only thing I'm missing is the picture quality from Samsung, even though it was very much slower to focus, noticed specially when scanning bar codes. In very dark envioment it can be seen that it has ips screen and not amoled. But it cost 1/5 of a new Samsung Note, so i don't care. Specially since my Note4 failed with the "mmc_failed" error after 2 years, and Samsung wont emit it's a production failure.
Camera Quality

now the quality of mi max 2 is better than mi max 1
i have both Mi Max 1 and 2
Decent but the lack of multi color LED notification is a big downer.
Battery was awesome
but a little unconformtable when heat
10 -- except for the battery ...
I got the phone cheap $229 4/64 (it was 199 yesterday at Gearbest). TOTAL LOVE. Perfect build quality. Fast. Gets a great signal on AT&T (the only signal in my neighborhood). Better than my Samsung despite AT&T's claims it would barely work at all. Yes, it says H+ on the display instead of 4g, but I suspect I was getting H+ already, marketed as 4g, which is what they do in the states.
What's more, I'm getting Volte now with AT&T prepaid -- prepaid customers don't get Volte! (Not that it's much use with this carrier).
In call volume is fine and the speaker quality is great. It wasn't loaded with crapware and unrooted, I was able to disable some system apps (some apps, like the calculator, are terrific).
Regarding the battery: I got a lemon. It's lasting a full day, maybe a day and a half -- but I'm a light user! No gaming, not even online much. I don't run anything except for downloaded audiobooks. But it goes to show you how much I love the phone that I wouldn't even consider sending it back for warranty service. All the way to China? I'd be without it for days, maybe weeks!
It's not perfect. I can't believe TV out is missing -- no way to connect to a monitor with OTG, no matter how many adaptors you use, I'm told. And Xiaomi's firmware prevents you from doing full backups or downloading nonessential updates unless you're on wifi. They claim you can toggle this, but they're sneaky buggers ... you toggle, it says downloading, but when you look for the completed file it says 'scheduled'. I *****ed and moaned in the forum, but hundreds have cried before me, to no avail.
There are a few odd little paternalistic issues with the OS -- not that ATT and Samsung don't dictate what I can do with my device and service -- they're a thousand times worse -- but their preferred forms of control are motivated by profit, not concern for what's 'good' for me. What do they care if I guzzle data?
On the other hand, Xiaomi employees actually monitor the forums. After the major software update, they solicited bug reports and issued fixes for them in a couple of days -- even for the minor bugs.
On a 1 to 10 scale, the phone is a 20, and I'm thrilled to learn they have a wide range of electronics to check out because -- so long Samsung, you suckered this consumer for the last time.
I do love Xiaomi Mi Max 2 except one thing. I can't unlock bootloader on MIUI 9 Global Stable, I get the error 86006 (with some Chinese letters). I know that it can be fixed by flashing on developper rom but I would like to get it fixed without flashing the device.

Yep, I had the same problem. I don't understand why Xiaomi does this.
I ended up giving in and installed a fresh dev ROM and then it worked perfectly.
Loving mine in Canada. I am a heavy user minus gaming(unless you count Scrabble) and I get 2 full days on a charge consistently. I stream sports and movies onto it, lots of music and other normal surfing/social media stuff and it doesn't get hot and the battery just keeps on going. It's early but so far I would definitely recommend the phone and the company. Excellent build quality and attention to detail. This phone was made with me in mind
Hi guys,
I have been using an elephone p7000 since I bought it on their launch promotion. The lack of rom support and a few issues have finally made me consider a new phone. The Le Max 2 seems the best value for $180 USD for the 32GB version. Should I be looking elsewhere?
Thanks

I would say dont buy it as the support for le max 2 is very less. Buy something else, dont fall for the price with high specs. Also it has some problems with its display, the colors are not so natural

Bought it recently, came from a Mediatek device, and I'm happy with the move.
If you're OK with no headphone jack, I would say it's definitely worth it. Camera is a BIG upgrade to me, if that's important to you. Rom support is also a step from any Mediatek device (for obvious reasons). Build quality is very good, battery life is also good considering it's a QHD screen, screen itself is OK in terms of colour reproduction, no issues with outdoor sunlight. Just installed Lineage OS 14.1 and it's working great.
Maybe pay a bit more for the 64GB version if you need more space.

Nope display is not fine and by display i mean colors. The colors on custom roms are way too much saturated. If you use any different phone from different vendor for 2-3 weeks then the colors of leeco starts annoying. Even the colors on the stock rom is not good, it is better compared to custom rom but still not so accurate.

And support doesn't only means software support(never said anything about warranty). If some accident happens with phone's hardware, may it be screen, camera glass or any other hardware part then you cant get anything original to repair it. You have to opt for some different low quality hardware for which you will be charged quite the same as original one. So if anyone is going to buy anything new, its better not to buy anything from a closed company

Lol so basically he should even let his 190€ go to waste. And no problem in it is solvable, like the colors are over saturated, repair that. I have a redmi note 3 too. And guess what i use my note 3 as primary device cause this phone even in a custom rom slower than note 3. Yes on reality it should be more faster and should produce more nice results even in terms of gpu but when i install same thing on this phone and note 3,note 3 installs it faster. When i play war robots, this phone will make me wait more 2-3 seconds even when the timer has ended to start the match, no such problems in note 3. Lets agree to disagree that this phone has better chip but its not good because the implementation of the chipset is bad, a 2k resolution burns up all the battery and takes a whole lot of cpu and gpu.
Try some other phones with 650 or above chipsets from some other companies, you would know what i am referring to. This phone just doesnt performs as a 820. And one of my friend recently got a mi A1 and guess what, its camera is better compared to this one. I never thought that can be possible so i tested it for 15mins and mi A1 won.
And dont waste your money, better buy something else if you want to use it for 2 more years. This phone wont get any far even with development on xda. While the new phone which are released nowadays will get development for more than 3-4 years as after all this phone is already 1 year old. I would say go for honor 9i,its chipset would be even better compared to sd630 as kirin655 was better compared to sd625

My colours are fine, and workspeed isn't slower than on similar devices (one plus), there are enough vids on YouTube. I agree that missing spare parts are a problem, but the situation wasn't different on my last phone, which was a popular mainstream device.

So now you tell it yourself that after a year when this phone is already 1 year old with no support of hardware, will you recommend it to buy someone. Will you yourself buy it at this point of time when the next year is so close and next year's mid range phones are coming here whose camera will beat it without any doubt and also they will get better hardware support and better software support from xda.
I would say he should wait this year or should go for coolpad cool 6 as it sports a nice camera with 653 soc. But this is way too outdated.
The main problem is, this phone hasnt sold much due to which even the support from xda is not so huge as compared to redmi note 3(speaking from personal experience) which came early than it but have been sold twice more than le max 2. Basically the one which sells more gets more support from xda afterall the devs do want their work to be appreciated by more people

There are more than enough good ROMs on XDA, I really don't know why you wish more support. I would never buy a phone with a 6xx soc if I can get an 820 for the same money. The 1440p display is great for VR, but you are right, in daily use you probably wont notice a difference, it's just nice to be able to say "retina? haha now that's some low res ****". So I would recommend it, but only if you like to play around with different ROMs, flash tweaks, etc.
If you want to have a phone ready to use out of the box you should take another one.
I guess it depends on where you are and how cheap it is. I bought mine from ebay(US) for $200 (64 GB version). Had mine for a few months (its an x829) and I've had no issues with it. Fingerprint scanner works(though sometimes it does requiere more than 1 try, no screen flickering issues. The phone itself is not bad, ive flashed a couple of custom roms but always end up going back to modified stock. I would definitely recomend this phone, or the LE pro 3. Good bang for buck on both of them. Sure, we might never see official nougat but that doesnt bother me at least.

Dunno, I do some gaming and havent noticed lag on my emulators (ppsspp, epsxe) or in heavy games (I played unkilled and dead trigger, as well as a few MMOs.) I use crisballgreece rom with AKT profiles so whenever i play i use performance profiles. For me, the phone is ok, but only if you can get it cheap. The pro 3 is less than $200 on amazon US. Snapdragon 821 but the camera is a bit worse and screen is a bit smaller.

Yes i am not denying that the phone isnt best at its price rate but one shouldnt go for it majorly because the colors are oversaturated compared to other phones. Brightness is not so high as it should be. Stock rom is best but performance in it sucks. Also its already 1 year old phone so even the support from the xda will get less. So he should better buy something of this year or wait 4 or 5 more months to get hands on the good phones from next year

Hello. I own Nexus 6 for 2-3 years, running purenexus rom and overall I must say I generally like this phone. But also I've tried Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and I was surprised how fine MIUI run and despite the fact I'm a fan of pure android how nice it looks and works. Maybe I am little bit bored of using the same phone for longer term and I would like to do some change.
I know my case is more about personal preferences, so I dont want to be convincing to different brand for example, my question is just technical.
If I replace my nexus 6 to redmi note 4, will I gain something? For example better camera, speed, performance, capabilities? Won't this be step back or staying on the approximately same level? High end older model for mid class newer one? Is it the right time to upgrade or better wait little bit longer for something better and stay with N6 for even longer time? What do you think about it?
BTW: mostly Im interrested in camera, if image quality of redmi 4 will be better or not... This is probably the most crucial point for me.
Thank you.

It is pretty obvious the camera will not be up to your expectations, I'd recommend the Redmi Note 5 Pro, if you're specifically looking for a better camera.
No, the Redmi Note 4 camera has nothing to be desired.
The phone itself is fine, though. Gets me through the day without charging, okay performance.
If you're looking to upgrade your phone for the camera I'd suggest to get the new Redmi Note 5 Pro or Galaxy S7 which price has been dropped significantly.

As a Nexus guy(myself), forget about Chinese phones. You will be greatly disappointed.
This is by far the worst phone I've got. This could be subjective opinion but I feel i need to warn you.
Ultimately, it's up to you.
