What is the difference between Xiaomi Note 4 and 4X as they both have the same specs and Snapdragon 625 chip?
Also, is the 4X LTE compatible in the United States, specifically MetroPCS? BG.com's specs say no, GSM Arena's say yes (2100).
To sum up, Note 4's processor is faster. 4x's camera is better and battery is much better optimized, meaning that it'll last a few hours longer.
To me, it just looks like the LTE bands..

Isn't the Note 4 in 2 variants one with MTK Cpu and One SD 625 Cpu ( Many Ram and Memory variants )and from my understanding the Note 4X is only with SD 625 , 32gb 3gb ?
Personally I got the 4X because of the SD 625 + All Black Color Option
rn4x has bluetooth 4.2 while sd ver has 4.1
4x supports more baseband
After a lot of research I found these are the 10 differences between Redmi Note 4 and Redmi Note 4X:
1. Note 4 (MediaTek) has MediaTek Helio X20 (MT6797) CPU with Arm Mali-T880 780MHz GPU - Note 4X has Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 MSM8953 with Qualcomm Adreno 506 GPU
2. Note 4 offers 4 colors: Gold, Gray, Silver, Black - Note 4X offers 5 colors Black, Gold, Pink, Silver, Turquoise
3. Note 4 has all metal body - Note 4X has mix between metal and plastic (plastic are downside where micro USB is and upperside where 3.5mm connector and IR port are; i.e above and bellow antenna lines)
4. Note 4 has dual band Wi-Fi 802.11ac conectivity - Note 4X does NOT have dual band Wi-Fi 802.11ac conectivity
5. Note 4 has weight of 175 g - Note 4X has weight 165 g
6. Note 4 has screws on micro usb side and can easily be opened - Note 4X has no screws on micro USB side and I didn't find anywhere how to open it.

Note 4 supports fast charging. It's called PumpExpress+. 4100mAh battery charges from 0 to 100% in approx. 70 minutes.
Really? Did not find this info anywhere. Do I need special charger or one that comes with it supports this?
p.s. I don't use original charger since it is US plug and I don't have EU adapter
Note 4X are compatible with Note 4 Snapdragon Rom?

Thanks for the comparison but point 8, 9 and 10 are not correct.
8. Both phones have a compass.
9. The camera sensor does not depend on the type of handset, in fact the 4X can have both sensors by coincidence.
10. 4X also does not support fast charging!
11. Note 4 has Bluetooth 4.1 and Note 4X Bluetooth 4.2.
it looks highly the same...
So which one is better in daily usage, note 4 SD version or 4x? I want to buy one. Thanks in advance.
Apart from what nuraH6 and jaager explained, the main differe ces between Note 4 (Snapdragon variant) and Note 4X is band support.
This is the list of band that is supported by Note 4 (Snapdragon variant)
4G FDD-LTE B3 / B5
4G TDD-LTE B40
3G WCDM 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100MHz
This is the list of band that is supported by Note 4X
4G FDD-LTE B1 / B3 / B5 / B7
4G TDD-LTE B38 / B39 / B40 / B41 ( 2555-2655MHz)
TD-SCDMA B34 / B39
3G WCDMA B1 / B2 / B5 / B8 (850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100MHz)

I already ordered for a note 4x a while ago. Thanks everyone.

Could someone add the Redmi Note 4 Global Version to the comparison, please? Thanks in advance!

I have searched on the internet that Redmi Note 4 hardware supports LTE Band 4 and Band 7, but the MIUI 8 itself locks those two bands.
I am located in North America that only those two LTE bands supported. Is there a way to open those two bands ?
at the moment, my phone can only use 3G.
thanks
Do you mean this?
I see band 7 but not band 4.
I had a look in here before too see if any bands were not enabled but there is only the one (AWS 1700)

Yes so band 4 it seems is not enabled by default.
It looks like anything in the table that is greyed out cannot be enabled so I am assuming that it's hardware dependant.
The only band that isn't greyed out & that can be enabled is as I noted before (AWS-1700)
Sorry I forgot that :/

yes, you are right, Note 4 only support following Bands :
FDD-LTE：Band 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 8
TDD-LTE：Band 38 / 39 / 40 / 41
Another question, Fido (the carrier here) supports Band 7 , but my phone cannot get the LTE mode, only 3G max . Do I have to enable band 7 manually ?
thanks
My provider uses Band 7, no problems connecting to 4G for me.

I see there are more UMTS bands available than what are enabled.
It's not a possibility to enable LTE Band 20 (800MHz), is it?
Recently ordered one and expected I'd have to live with Band 1 (2100MHz) and Band 3 (1800MHz) here in Norway
If Band 20 is available but just secretly disabled, that'd be very nice.
Checked in the engineer mode. The following bands are enabled by default :
FDD-LTE：Band 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 8
TDD-LTE：Band 38 / 39 / 40 / 41
I just enable the AWS 1700 ans Press set, but when I reboot the phone, it goes back to disable ?
Since Redmi Note 4X and Redmi Note SD have the same hardware, can the LTE bands unlocked in Note 4X be unlocked in Note 4 SD as well. Or is it possible to unlock the bands by the process in the Oneplus and Sony sections for Quallcomm devices?
Can you unlock band 2, 12 and/or 17 on global version of the the Redmi Note 4? (the one with band 4 and 20)
My Note 4 SD625 can't enter that engineering mode. But my LTE works fine here in Malaysia. But it's not that fast compared to my LG G4. Is Redmi N4 supports an LTE-A network? I've seen the SD625 specification and it supports advanced LTE, but my N4 aren't fast enough for only 2mb/s over my G4's 5mb/s on actual download speed.
well redmi note 4x in taiwan and hong kong has lte band 4 http://www.mi.com/hk/redminote4x/specs/
is it a diferent hardware as in redmi note 3 pro with kenzo and kate phones?

I'm curious if the Note 4 Global can have Band 28 unlocked. I had the Kate prior to this and it had band 20 and 28, not sure why they couldn't have Band28 on the Redmi Note 4 Global

Any break throughs on lte band unlocking? I edited my line 6828. I power off the phone. Power back on and check signal guru. Guru shows same lte bands at before editing line NV 6828. Is there another NV line for lte? Please assist as I saw no change in enabled bands when editing that line.
When I wiped data for signal guru it showed the bands I unlocked. No extra bands have worked on the 4x for me tho.
I opened the NON-HOLS modem bin and was digging around in the code. I was unsuccessful at putting the code from a global MI note 2 modem onto mido. Someone also modified their boot.img and was able to tell the phones which bands to use. I was unsuccessful on both endeavor

I have the same question in my mind too. I'm not connected to lte-A network although I'm in the zone. Wonder how to unlock it.
Are redmi note 4 ROMs compatible with the 4X?
The processor is the same Snapdragon 625.

I think the only differences between the two are in design.
top: IR/Mic location.
bottom: 5 speaker/Mic holes in N4X / 6 holes in RN4, and the two screws on RN4.
Both devices are (mido)
RN4x have more bands...
RN4 SD LTE bands 3(1800), 5(850), 40(2300)
RN4x LTE bands 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500).
and bluetooth i think on RN4 SD is 4.1 and in the RN4x is 4.2, only that.
the Xiaomi Note 4X have louder speaker but the plastic at the bottom and the top make it feel cheaper since the original Note 4 was full metal/aluminium...
So the Note 4 625 is cheaper on Aliexpress (global version with bands) than the 4X. Now I wonder if the SD 625 version has the display and camera of the X20 version...
What are the differences and can anyone confirm if they are the same or different?

I already write about these differences - you can find it on my post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71608109&postcount=7
Note 4 (MTK) has Samsung S5K3L8 camera sensor - Note 4X and Note 4 (SD625) have Sony IMX258 camera sensor
The global version will let you have 4G in some countries that wouldn't work in 4G cuz it lack of the neccesary band (the 4x version)
I think that's the main difference? other than that it is the same as the 4X and the Note 4 with Helios X20 is the oldest one but still kicking ass.
Edit: Summary!
Note 4 Helios x20 has some great performace but it is less efficient and the battery will drain faster than the other versions
Note 4x Was made for the Indian using a snapdragon 625 cuz xiaomi can not sell mediatek anymore in india i do not remember why; The snapdragon has a much newer architecture and is more efficient with the battery consumption so you will have more time of SOT (Screen on Time)
Note 4 Global Same as 4x but enables 4g connectivity in some countries that needed that band, the 4X runs in 3G or H +

Dude Note 4 is the Indian version, not 4X
Hey guys I saw to threads that have almost the same questions and answers that I am looking for but it's not being specific....
My question is if I was to buy right now Qualcomm 4gb 64gb note 4 will the 4x (mido) ROMs work on it?
Yes
Buy Redmi Note 4 Global (Snap 625) if you need B20 LTE Band. If you dont need it you can get 4x.
And yes, Snapdragon 625 SoC = Mido , Mediatek SoC = Nikel
Good day, everyone
TL;DR - WTK Model Numbers for Snapdragon 625 [Note 4] & [Note 4x]
So far;
2016100 = Redmi Note 4 4Gb/64G (credit: @sachin n)
2016101 = Redmi Note 4X 3Gb/32G (credit: @Delkapone)
2016102 =Redmi Note 4 3GB/32GB (credit: @krasCGQ)
I am about to finalise the purchase of a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 OR 4X.
I am trying to find ONLY the MODEL NUMBERS for;
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 - 4gb RAM, 64gb storage (Snapdragon 625 Variant; might be 2016100 or 2016102, need confirmed)
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X - 4gb RAM, 64gb storage (Snapdragon 625 Variant)
Some threads have said the SD 625's of both the 4 and 4x and identical, yet others go on to state physical differences in feature/hardware placements.
I just want to ensure that I get the Snapdragon 625 version, I do not want to end up wit a device that has the Mediatek CPU.
P.S.
Please don't turn the question into an argument for the Mediatek Variant and/or the 3GB models and your experience with them, I've already decided on the Snapdragon 624 4gb/64gb and I'm just trying to ensure I get the correct product.
I understand that the model numbers may vary slightly, possibly dependent on region and storage configuration.
I've looked for the questions/answers in the forum and others as well and can't seem to get a straight idea.
Thank you everyone, any relevant constructive help will be greatly appreciated.

SD 625 is octa-core while Mediatak Helios X20 is deca-core. Some shop list it, I think it's a good indicator to buy the right version.
And I also read something about that the differnt SD 625 versions have difference only in supported network frequency.

Thank you for responding.
I do know the SD625 is an octa-core vs the deca-core of the Mediatek version.
I've already decided on the SD 625.
The problem I am having is that I was told in passing that the NOTE 4 SD625 (4GB/64GB) is identical to the NOTE 4X SD625 (4GB/64GB).
I am just trying to find a way or confirm if there are physical differences or not.
They are identical, the only difference is that the 4x doesn't have b20(800 MHz) band...But some shops
report It in the specification, I think it's an error...
I don't remember where i red this, but another difference is in the Quality of construction that in 4x is lower than 4 ( I don't know if it's true)
The Redmi Note4x is the global (or international) version. It has 4g lte radio bands that will work on either AT&T or T-Mobile in the U.S. The Redmi Note 4 will not work on any 4g lte band in the U.S. It will work on 3g band 1900 which is supported by AT&T and T-Moibile but you can forget about 4g lte in the U.S. with this version. The 4X was released about 10 months after the 4 version was and there are some hardware differences because of that (different brand sensors and camera's) but don't confuse the the different SOC options (MTK or Snap) with one version or the other. You can find both of those SOC options on either version. Even though there are some brand differences in the internal hardware the X of the 4X version is simply meant to signify that it is a global use phone with additional radio bands that the 4 version does not have. BTW, the IR blaster is not in the same position so if you are buying a case or other accessories, buy the case that is specifically for the 4 or the 4X version.
This comparison chart came directly from Xiaomi....

The Note 4 is made in India and the Note 4x is made in China. The differences in bands on the chart above reflects the needed bands to work in China. Since they posted this chart they have also added lte bands that work in the U.S. (band 4 and whatever AT&T uses) but did not update the chart to reflect that. All newer Note 4X's are global 4G capable though.
