Xiaomi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) vs Note 4 (Snapdragon) Note 4x - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I know this is the Q&A for N3P but I still wanna ask because I cant find that much comparasion between these three on english/german.
So, my questions are:
1. Speed? Not gaming, just Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube and such apps.
2. Camera? Normal and low light. I know the N3P has 16 megapixel but I am asking anyways. I just heard that both cameras are ultra bad in low light.
3. Battery? Is there a noticable difference?
Thanks!

rn3 pro's battery is grt but camera quality in both daylight and lowlight is pretty bad.
Go for one plus x if u can afford.
Or any Huawei phone's for better performance in every aspects.

Thanks for your answer. But, the battery life isnt as good as it is on Note3 and Note4 afaik.
Or, is it really true that you get about 8hours screen on? I want to switch to Xiaomi just because of that.
I dont make THAT much photos with my phone. I have lg g2 at the moment and I dont think that Note3/4 Camera is that much worse than lg g2.

If you're a gamer then Note 3
Actually Note 4 SD performance isn't that much poor compared to Note 3. You won't even notice a difference with normal usage. You can also expect better battery, over 10 hrs. SOT on Note 4 compared to 7 to 9 hrs. of Note 3(my own usage, others are claiming to get over 12 hrs. some even 14 though I don't know how they're doing it). I can end the day without looking for a charger with 7 to 9 hrs. of SOT so for me above that isn't really necessary. Note 4 also has better thermal performance(doesn't heat up that much, Note 3 may reach up to 45 degrees C when charging. I got it to 42 when playing although it's summer right now in my country).
If you're into Custom ROMs, etc. though then definitely Note 3. Actually only bought this over 4x because of the modding community plus the 700 mhz lte band on the Kate model.

Thanks for your answer. But that means that both phones are equally fast? I don't care that much about custom roms. I have since 5 years just aosp/cm Roms and I wanna test something different.
for me is just the performance important. Is there a difference that should be mentioned? not gaming, just overall speed.

1)Redmi note 3 pro special edition support 800 mhz 4G band which is usable on areas like villages away from big city's (there is a note 4 global edition with Snapdragon 625 which support 800 mhz band also)
2)note 3 pro vs 4 battery life its kinda same to improve battery also you can use xposed + power nap+amblify+greenify (maybe note 4 will get 30 min more battery cuz of a53 cores )
3)always aim to buy Snapdragon edition much better from mediatek Snapdragon gives sources and blabla
4)maybe Redmi note 3 got a little bit better performance on games cuz of x2 cores a73
5) colour or note 4 its a little better and design a little more wonderful for me on other hand with note 3 you can use radon kernel (for me its the best) and you can fix the colours same as note 4
6) cameras on daylight fotos are very good i could say best for the price of course because we talk for phones price range max 170$ huawei prices are 300+ so ofc they got better cameras
7)its the best option for value for money phones and about battery I get about 7 to 8 hours on my note 3 miui 8 7.4.27 with radon kernel using only cellular data because I'm on army and I use Facebook, messenger,viber, Instagram,whats app,some other apps (i got installed around to 90 apps) 0 lags the only you need its a good case and tempered glass cuz the durability on phones sucks but hey its 170$ max if you interested to go on higher price like 250$ I would told you to buy lettv 3 pro 821 Snapdragon 800 mhz and tons of much better performance ram etc
I hope I helped you a lot

N3P slight better performance over N4. Because SD650: 2x powerful A72 cores. (and yea sure 4x A53) Doesn't really matters in Day-to-day performance.
N4 better battery life over N3P. (Because 625 8x A53 built on 14 nm over 28 nm process in SD650)

Big thanks for so many informations!
And, if you were me, would you choose note 4/note 4x or note 3 pro?
As I have said, I dont play games on my phone. I just want a phone that can open and load apps like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp quickly and have a big screen-on time.
Is there a big difference in speed between those two? As I have said, not gaming speed but everything else.
Thanks

@chorba69 I would go for note 4 cuz of that awesome corners and edges its amazing but the version Snapdragon 625 and with 800 mhz band supported plus I'm not a power user to play games all the time its waste of time for me xd but both devices are perfect ahh I forget maybe note 4 got a little bit better cameras quality cuz of Snapdragon 625 cuz it support 24 mp instead of Snapdragon 650 on 21 mp its not that much comparable since both record 4k video on 30 fps and there is not a speed difference between those devices dont be attracted by antutu scores etc I use radon kernel with battery option and I never get a single lag also Snapdragon 625 its 14nm and 650 its 28nm so it will be a little bit cooler than note 3

Go for the Note 4 SD/Note 4X.
Note 3 vs Note 4 opening app speed difference is negligible, less than a second faster in favor of Note 3. While battery life and heat management improvement is noticeable on the Note 4, about 20% increase in battery life. Color reproduction of the screen too is better in the Note 4.

Thanks! Just, there is no difference in speed and battery between Note 4 SD and Note 4x or?
If there is, which one has better battery/is faster?
And one thing more: Does 4x come with LTE Band 20 or there is special version with lte 20 ? I live in Germany and that thing is important for lte frequency here.

Note 4 SD and Note 4X(3/32) are the same aside from LTE bands. Seeing that you're not in India, then definitely go with 4X but it doesn't have band 20 unfortunately. If you really need Band 20 then go for Note 3 Special/International Edition(Kate).
Here: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7863&idPhone2=8580
Based on your usage I'd advice you go for Note 4X but if band 20 is really important then pick Redmi Note 3 Pro Special Edition. As I said earlier, I also chose Kate over 4X because of band 28.

Note 4x has the same camera sensor as LG G6. Dk how xiaomi manages to mess up with photos quality.
There's no big improvement in camera regarding those two. Note 4x has a better battery backup due to 14nm chipset. Note 3 has better community support. Note 3 is better in gaming. Note 4 looks better ( especially on that full black model ).
If i were to choose i'd go with the RN3P, as it has, if not the same, but close to a nexus phone community support, gonna be a long living device.

I googled now again and I found there is some Note 4 with the same specs as Note 4x and it has lte band 20.
should I get it over Note 3 pro?
Or it is not possible that there is a Note 4 with everything same as Note 4 just with Band 20?

Hi people, above the link. I ordered this one. It should be the Note 4 or the Note 4x (I dont understand it yet) with LTE Band 20 or?
I just dont understand where is the difference between International version and Global version.
I guess theres nothing "big" between those two.

I have RN3Pro and was on latest Developer version (stock kernel), rooted and Xposed install, but no battery improvement apps/modules installed, just other type of tweaks. I just bought it and didn't tested on Stable version yet without root and Xposed. Maybe its better, don't know.
On first SS you can see how much Screen was ON per session. I plugged it on PC for some work, but it was not much... that's on second SS.

Thanks for Infos @apriores
everything above 5 hours screen on is new for me. I have lg g2 and I chose the xiaomi redmi because of the battery life.
just, I heard that even more than 8-9 hours of screen on are possible. have you ever made it above 8hours sot?

I had max sot of 10h on my rn3 pro
I suggest you to get rn3 pro because of better performance and development.

1) I think 4X has better design, I have used both and 4X gives better hold experience. Also it looks more expensive than 3P
2) If you don't aim to play game too much, buy 4X, 625 give better speed, just weaker GPU, moreover it is based on 14nm so better power management.
3) Camera, I will choose 3P, Snapdragon 650 support Zero Shutter Lag and some stuff better than 625, how ever in real condition, I still have some feeling that 3P take better pictures than 4X.
4) Audio, choose 3P, Snapdragon 650 has some better specs for Audio than 625, the default may very bad, but believe me, install DivineBeats and it just no difference like V20 or some stuff that has DACs.
5) Screen, 4X has better screen, 3P a little yellow in my opinion.
6) Connectivity: 4X, newer X9 LTE chip gives better connection than X8.
That's all, consider on your own.

Thanks. I ordered already a Note 4x with LTE Band 20 for Germany. I hope made a good decision. Thanks y'all in this thread.

gahh im a performance guy i like to have the Highest in the benchmarks, thats why im was looking at the snapdragon 800 now, but the tegra 4 has 72 gpu cores... hate looking for tablets lol
Tegra 4 has less games than snapdragon
They are just same in performance
But going with s800 will be a wise choice due to high dev support
Go for galaxy note 3 it has s800 cpu with 3gb ram

i have the nexus 7 2013 version, and i want to move away, i mean i went to the nexus 7 2012 version for the performance, and it seams they ate going away from that and going to more of the " screen resolution" side of things. i mean i dont really care about the resolution, as the higher it is the more fps it will take away from performance,
thanks 181jenkins.
Consider the Tegra Note or Shield

I am waiting on a Tegra Note for $199 (~150GBP I suspect). Frame rates should be nearly 2x that of the Nexus 7 2013, which has 2.5x the number of pixels and a weaker GPU. The HP Slate 7 Extreme may be the first variant available. It also has computational photography featires (real-time HDR, track-focus, and slow-motion with a 5MP camera), very good sound, and a highly accurate stylus. Recent builds have shown Antutu scores of >36K (see YouTube Chinese review), versus ~20K for the highest N7 2013 scores. And yes, that is at least as high as the Sony Xperia Xperia Z Ultra phablet which uses an S800.
The S800 in theory has a stronger GPU but a weaker CPU. The real picture is clouded by the fact that certain vendors (see arstechnica.com_gadgets_2013_10_galaxy-note-3s-benchmarking-adjustments-inflate-scores-by-up-to-20 - replace underscores with slashes) have gamed the benchmarks when using the S800. The T4 has generally shown higher benchmarks than the original reference builds (e.g. Antutu on my Shield is 41.5k vs 36.5k), whereas the S800 has yet to beat their reference design performance. Of course, their reference phone build was about a half-inch thick. So that might have something to do with it...
If you want ultimate FPS performance, get the Shield. It actually has a (very quiet) fan so the device can run at close to 100% capacity for hours - something no phone or tablet can do, and there is no benchmark gaming as confirmed by Ars Technica. The Tegra Note would be a good second choice. After that, things get murkier, with the Sony S800-based Xperia Z Ultra being a decent choice. However, it's stylus looks quite inferior to the Note (no pressure sensitivity, for example), and the higher PPI will translate into slower FPS. The camera is 8MP vs 5MP for the note, but the Z doesn't the same real-time capabilities, AFAIK.
Some people claim that the T4 is a "power hog", and Toshiba's poorly engineered T4 tablet heat-sink hasn't helped this view. But Laptop Magazine has shown the Shield running 4.2W TDP for the T4 at 1.9Ghz under hours of heavy use, which compares favorably to the S800 design TDP (see fudzilla.com_home_item_31532-qualcomm-aims-at-25-to-3w-tdp-for-phones).
Hope that helps!

I've got the Z Ultra as a daily driver and its very good... And the Snapdragon 800 cpu has been overclocked to 2.7ghz over in the Z1 forum. Not thats thats recommended lol
That tegra note looks really sweat gaming platform for the price though, I suspect they have kept the resolution down to keep the price down, but that resolution is perfect for better gaming performance. Stylus is a plus as well...
Its a pitty the tegra 4 hasn't made its way to more phones/phablets. I think they will shift far more tablets than Shields as it a more versatile device for more people.. Anyone know if it will have the streaming capability of the shield? I suspect not.
Bro go for xolo play tab tegra4 obvi nvidia is the best for gaming and also tegra is overclockable

i was looking at the shield but im in the uk adn the price of getting it shipped would be £100 ish with import tax etc, i cant see the point in spending around £350 on a shield when it retails at around £250 mark :/ i wish i could get one, but for now im waiting for the T4 note, anyone have any idea on when its coming out !? i keep thinking about the T4 as the tega zone and better looking games.

More Tegra Note Info
The chinese reviews are below. Use google translate. Also, I had to replace '/' with ' ' to get around the no-link ban.
A good overview is at pie.pconline.com.cn 365 3650116.html. Notice there is a mistake - the Note 7 does have a front facing VGA cam. And here is a video (remove the spaces): youtube.com-watch ?v= 4xOL3MtXEPU.
The video shows good benchmark scores, and highlights the use of the stylus. Personally, I wish this damn thing would come out! I really want a tablet with a stylus!

Should I buy Alpha?

So My galaxy tab 2 broke last month, I was thinking to buy Mi4 ( 3gb ram, 801 snapdragon) or zenfone 2 ( 4gbram , Intel x64 proccessor) but i found galaxy alpha and s5 on internet with similar price tags compared with mi4 and zenfone so I wanted to ask should i buy alpha instead of a phone with 4gb ram? or instead of a phone with 3gb ram? I really like alpha looks i can buy s5 too but I saw on youtube touchwiz lags alot not the phone but touchwiz I have a friend who have s5 too she said it does lag occasionally i know alpha runs on touchwiz too i wanted to ask does it lagg too like s5? Please give me your honest review is 2gb ram enough? because at same price i can get a 3 or 4 gig!
My brother has a s5 i have owned one myself in the past, But Alpha is nothing like s5 or other samsung phones i have the 850f Model with exynos processor and it has never lagged even with power saving enabled. I get one day plus battery time with heavy usage (3-4 hours of screen on time)
The octacore never lags. I had the quad core att 850a too. And that one lagged a lot. I love this phone.
Do you think 2gb ram is sufficient? I multi-task a lot , how many hours do is it take to full charge? what about front camera is it good? i saw the back camera samples they were really nice but what about front? is it good too! what's the antutu score?
Alpha is the best device I've ever used.
I sold it to buy the s6 edge. After 10 days of using the s6 edge, I sold it and bought the Alpha again.
It's an amaizing device.

The RAM is far enough for multitasking in my opinion.
Full charge takes like a hour and 20 minutes or so.
The front camera I must say is really good.
And the AnTuTu score, well I'm on stock 4.4.4 no root and in AnTuTu my device shows on first place in the comparison list, below are some flagship devices like Note 4, OnePlusOne, One M8 etc. The score I got was almost 52k.

Mediatek CyanogenMod development

I don't know whether I should wait for the rn4 or go for the rn3. I'd really love the helio x20, but I don't think that would come to India cause of the lawsuit. Hypothetically, if it is launched, how would the software development be? Would it get many Roms? Cm especially? My second question is, if the rn4 comes with sd 652, it'll be like trading 3 mp of the rear camera in the rn3, for 2 cores in the rn4! Although, I'm not really into photography, that 16 mp cam does sound nice so do the 2 extra cores really make a difference, especially in gaming?
I've got the same question about the rom development for mediatek. I've used cm nearly for 2 years and I'll be switching to miui. It doesn't matter if there won't be cm for the rn4 mtk. Miui is good and I'm willing to do this change.
Being a photography amateur, i can tell you that mp doesn't do a difference. It's the sensor that counts. If the rn4 has a better image quality, go for it. Gaming depends on the gpu mostly and the adreno is more powerful than the mali. Will gaming be better with the 2 cores? I can't tell you.
Btw if that helps you, I'm buying the rn4 mtk insead of the rn3p.

Check the Redmi Note 3 (MediaTek) development thread if you want to get an idea of the scope for development (in short, some but not much). There are reports that there won't be a Snapdragon version of the Redmi Note 4 and you might have to unofficially import it. The difference in camera performance is negligible. Real world performance is identical, but GeekBench states the Redmi Note 4 has about 20% better single core performance, 50% better multicore performance and 25% better graphics performance on average. Also, the Redmi Note 4 has 10 cores which is 4 more than the SD650 and it is based on the 14nm architecture vs the 28nm of the SD650 but batterylife remains the same between the two.
Basically, the Redmi Note 4 is a slightly better phone but won't have anywhere near the amount of development the Note 3 has seen thus far. It not get CyanogenMod, but I think it will.
As a photographer I can confirm that higher megapixels doesn't necessarily mean better. Although people were saying that there's not much improvement in the rn4 cam over the rn3. I'd still take the 4 over the 3 anytime tho because the design is much nicer

I've got the same question about the rom development for mediatek. I've used cm nearly for 2 years and I'll be switching to miui. It doesn't matter if there won't be cm for the rn4 mtk. Miui is good and I'm willing to do this change.
Being a photography amateur, i can tell you that mp doesn't do a difference. It's the sensor that counts. If the rn4 has a better image quality, go for it. Gaming depends on the gpu mostly and the adreno is more powerful than the mali. Will gaming be better with the 2 cores? I can't tell you.
Btw if that helps you, I'm buying the rn4 mtk insead of the rn3p.

So you're buying the rn4? Despite lesser development for mtk? Although MIUI is pretty great, many still do prefer cm and it being an mtk device, it reduces options for os change which I don't REALLY like... But according to notebookcheck.com the mtk GPU is better than the adrenochrome 510!! Which would've sold it for me, but mtk devices can't come to India because of a lawsuit with Ericsson and they're not planning on making a Qualcomm variant :'( also, when you get the phone, do tell me about it's camera performance!!

So the rn3 is still the better alternative, isn't it? Btw, the problem with unofficially importing it is that first off, it'll be in Chinese, so i have to fiddle around for the English version or flash English MIUI and then I don't know if I'll get warranty coverage, which I don't think I will... Lastly working with mtk devices scare me a bit, cause ive seen software like mtk flash tools, which I dont really understand! My mother has a Panasonic eluga turbo which is mtk and there isn't a single rom for that!!! (Literally)

You are NOT wrong!! The rn4 does look better! It's more squarish and well defined! The rn3 is a little curvy for my taste...

I'm on the fence on this one. I have a gut feeling that overall the Redmi Note 3 Pro might have better day-to-day performance because it's software is better optimised (X20 devices showed significant GPU lag in the beginning due to bad drivers, yet the Note 3 has open kernel sources and CAF builds). My heart says "Note 4" ("better" SOC, looks) yet my brain says "Note 3" (Awesome ROM support, cheaper). I hate the rounded plastic looking design of the Note 3 yet I think the Note 4 looks pretty good with its all metallic build and reflective chamfers (it just lacks a USB type C port for symmetry and reliability). On my Mi4c I stayed mostly on MIUI despite loving CM13 because of the better camera software (I am super-critical of camera performance, but I don't have high hopes for either of these in anything else but perfect conditions) so I think given the choice I would anyway have a MIUI running Note 3.
Usually, the reseller that you buy it from has a 1-2 year warranty, look out for those if it matters to you. I personally always do my own repairs, but we have a local reseller that repairs Xiaomi phones should I ever get stuck (I extrapolated it's the same where you come from). Generally speaking, Xiaomi is very tolerant when it comes to modifying devices, but you might have to read up more on that regarding your specific country.
I have flashed MIUI on a MediaTek Redmi Note 2 without any issue or difference from the Snapdragon versions. The Note 4 already has an English custom ROM available it's great, I've used it on 3 different Xiaomis before (Mi 4c, Redmi Note 2 and Mi 4). Here is the link: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-9-15-19.34208/ . I haven't used flash tools on MediaTek devices but had to on several Snapdragon and Exynos devices. They're stupendously easy to use, you don't have to worry if it comes to that.

Redmi note 4 (MTK) 4G/64G vs Redmi note 4 (SD) 4G/64G which one do I buy?

I want to get the redmi note 4 but am a bit confused and I need help.
I have both the Helio X20 and Snapdragon 625 both 4G/64G in my chart but don't know which one to buy
Here are my preferences:
#1 Crisp audio (with better noise reduction) during recording Audio or video
#2 Front camera with better low light performance.
#3 I don't play too much heavy game the heaviest I've played is Asphalt 8 but good performance for multi tasking and day to day use.
#4 Battery life.
#5 Custom ROM with fast charge.
Am a bit drawn to the Snapdragon version with LTE Band 4 and 20 but I need the opinion of others about the Helio X20 version too
Here's the like for the two devices:
Snapdragon 4GB/64G
Helio X20 MTK 4GB/64G
Please I need to learn from your experiences
Thanks
I added a picture showing the differences but not so much details. And I really need real life experiences with this phone.
Reserved
Only Snapdragon version. 10+ hours SOT, no overheating, good support in XDA.
If you wanna taste custom ROM definitely go SD version
Snapdragon. Its powered by Sd625 built on 14nm process
1)No heat
2)Good battery life(sometimes even 10+ hrs SOT)
3)Most things are kind of Snapdragon Optimized

[PUBG Mobile] Note 8 Exynos Optimisation Issue (SM-N950F)

I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Exynos variant and I am running stock firmware,unrooted.
Here's my problem:
The problem is with the optimisation of PUBG Mobile for the Note 8 Exynos variant.
No support for Extreme FPS or even Ultra on minimum graphic (Smooth) for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Exynos 8895) variant.
I get High FPS on HD but no Ultra or Extreme FPS on Smooth and Balanced.
While the Samsung Note 8 (Snapdragon 835) users get Ultra FPS on HDR and also Extreme FPS on Smooth,I don't even have the HDR option on my (Exynos 8895) variant.
The game performs really poor even though, I get a Antutu score of 1,80,000.
Games feels like I'm playing it on a low end device even though this device cost me almost thousand dollars.
Please tell the developers to fix it,if there's anyone who knows the developers or in contact with.
Not willing to use GFX device cause my device is not trash and account also gets banned.
Looking forward to get good responses.
