Guys..
I'm going to buy Redmi Note 4x. And I'm new to Xiaomi.
I have some questions
1. What is the best SOT you got from Redmi 4x and also tell me what Rom you are using?
2. I heard that Audio recording is very poor in RN4x. Is that true? If yes is there anyway to fix it??
3. How about overall camera quality in Rear And front both Cameras ??
4. What if I Flash Lineage Os ? Then how will be the battery on Lineage Os?
Hope you guys will help me out.

1. I got 10+hrs once. Nowadays I get about 8-9hrs SOT. I mostly browse using Chrome, not pretty much, but I'm quite sure that you'll get most of it. It's depends upon the usage and yeah, battery life is almost same on MIUI & Custom ROMs.
2. There's a fix available I guess, check general section.
3. Camera is good on MIUI, but it's buggy on Custom Roms atm.
4. See point #1

Thanks for helping out me bro!
1. And there is a another question. I'm gonna buy this from Aliexpress. most sellers have chinese version with global miui. Is there massive difference between chinese version and international version? I mean hardware changes??
I live in Sri Lanka. Does it support Network bands of Sri Lanka?
2. How about 5- 100% charging time with original charger comes with box?
3. Does this support Qualcomm quickcharge?

1. AFAIK, there's not much really.
Why don't you get the device from India then? (it's possible?)
2. 3hrs for me
3. Nope, not yet.

Hello all
Am planning to buy it soon and wondering which version should I get
Kenzo or Kate?
I had nexus 4 since I got into smartphones.

Thank you everyone

Well, in this case both of these versions will be a great choice, with small advantage to Kenzo maybe (it sometimes gets miui update first).
You should consider some other things before buying Kenzo or Kate.
1) do you need lte-800mhz (if yes, pick kate)
2) do you want to flash custom roms (pick kenzo)
3) do you want to have some protection case (if yes, pick Kenzo - Kate is a bit higher)
Those are the main differences. Battery life will be the same, since they have same specs.

Thank you mate I guess I don't really care about the lte.
I care more about faster updates and customization.

Kate, forget about kenzo.
Better reception, fcp fingerprint (new kenzo has goodfix with custom ROM issues), most tpu cases fit just fine.
I'm using psy man's cm14.1 firmware and both cm14.1 and cm13 work perfectly fine with no issues whatsoever, without changing firmware.
Edit: better reception as in better signal overall, I'm getting LTE where with kenzo I barley got 3g working.

So all new kate are better than new kenzo regarding the fingerprint. But updates wise what about ota updates?
It's not worth getting a Kate if you have no need for B20, you can easily get Goodix working with a single patch. You'll be able to get Kenzo a bit cheaper.

MIUI updates are all the same, and even all cm Roms are the same.
MIUI updates are all the same - mostly, yes
all cm Roms are the same - yes, but availability of Kate custom roms is much worse.

I'm stuck trying to chose between these two phones. Can owners comment please?
Edited 01/07/2020
Solved I guess? - I went with the Redmi Note 9S 6/128GB. The charging is fast enough and NFC is basically a fanciful thing where I live. The 64MP cam alone doesn't justify to me the possibility of losing out on custom ROMs and late stage device support.

Is it wise for me to sell my redmi note for lg g7 bcus the gaming performance on the note 10 is not good and the g7 uses sd845 and it's cheap
Why you buying a d€ad company device ?
Lg shutdowned !
and Redmi note 10 not for heavy games and the hardcore gamers won't be satisfied ! it's just for 150$ what you want more !?
beside , if you want gaming and cheap device go for Poco x3 pro.

Thats the issue I am not satisfied, about lg I don't really care about software updates, but the note 10 is really smooth when during day to day task and have a really great screen.

I see no choice. Either way you have to compromise even if you get the LG G7 unless you spend a little more in some completely other phone which is better for both gaming, day to day task and has a great screen.

You're welcome.
It's fine for light gaming. Even some heavy gaming. Depends on the game. So far all the ones I play have been great. I just upgraded to this from a Redmi Note 7, and I am happy.
I just bought and use this RN10 (4/64, all usual 'treatment' by me, nothing special) for my daily phone for about a week, it's a beautiful entry level priced phone, but... aside of many positive things I like from it;
I see stutter (and/or lag) screen (animation) even for (supposed to be) light games (?), like UNO, Wordscapes, Candy Crush, etc.
(I'm not a gamer, I just ocassionally play those kind of light games here and there).
I'm a bit disappointed about this. Because with my old Asus ZF MPM 1 (same 4/64, same 'treatment', same home WiFi and all), those same 'light games' does not stutter/lag.
my RN10 is still in stock MiUI 12.5.2 now.
Perhaps it's the MiUI?
Because I think the hardware should be good enough (not stuttering/lagging like that) for those kind of light tasks/games, right?
(But in my son's (more than a year old) Redmi 9A 3/32 with stock MiUI,.. those stutter doesn't happen).
What's wrong with this Redmi Note 10, or what wrong did I do?
It's my 1st time using Xiaomi and MiUI.
I'm going to Unlock its BL tonight or tomorrow, after waiting Xiaomi mandatory waiting time for 168 hours.

Yes , definely is the MIUI... i have tried the latest 12.5.4 Global (Factory Reset ofc) and there is lag , overheating and much stutters in the system... of course doing basic stuff , i'm not a gamer..
and same case... my grandmother have a Redmi 9A 2/32 with the MIUI 12.0.17 and that phone have a much better performance in the system and games than my Note 10. WTF!!?
So , i switched to Custom ROMs...
The difference in the performance is like x100 times ... so Custom ROMs are the choice if you want a decent experience in this phone.
MIUI is the worst trash ever....

Confused thing for me is that Redmi 9A uses same MiUI 12.. strange.. but maybe the optimization Xiaomi does for Redmi 9A hardware is better(?) I don't know.
Now, my question is;
What Custom ROM do you use now?
(which has 100x performance like you said)

Yes , probably but is just unfair... Note Series should be better optimized but we know that Xiaomi loves to release a lot of phones instead of work in software...
Now i'm currently using crDroid 7.12 with latest WestCoast Superfast Kernel... the best in my opinion.. i love it

Nice. I will try that crDroid.
Before crDroid, what else of Custom ROMs you have ever tried on Redmi Note 10?

i tested almost every rom available...
interested in buying the Redmi Note 10. but, then heard bout the issues with the phone with regards to the touch, display etc....
not very sure if I should still be buying this phone, so looking for some input from you guys here who already own it & are here for the ROM's.
will mostly switch to Custom ROM if I buy it.
1) are these issues related to the software or hardware when it comes to the default factory ROM shipped with the phone?
2) are any/all of the issues resolved after installing the available Custom ROM's?
3) is there anything else I should know about or consider before buying this phone?
any input from you guys will be highly appreciated & help decide my phone purchase, ty
I have the redmi note 10, 4 - 128 version running stock MIUI, 12.0.7 , and don't see any problem related to hardware, sometimes the software don't feel smooth but I think is optimization issue. I read about the screen problem in Pro version due to high refresh rate, but is a software issue too...

I think yes, of course it depends of how much money you want spend, in my case the RN 10, is the better option compared with the Samsung and others available in my country.. the screen and dual speaker are the main features for me...
I have NT10 and it have a great hardware and also miui version doen't have any problems with it.
Minor issues on the RN10 such as 10-second AOD timeout but nothing you cannot live with.

The custom roms have a major deal breaking bug with video recording. Even with Gcam the video recording doesn't record sound. Quick restart fixes it but after awhile it goes to same state. Don't know how long will it take for the developers to fix this major bug .
If you don't record much videos, maybe it won't bother you.
Other bugs in custom roms are minor and varying with each rom. But, there aren't anything serious like mentioned above.
If you don't like MIUI then custom rom is the way to go. And, custom rom solves almost all of the shortcomings and annoyances of MIUI. I don't like MIUI so much that even with video bug, I am using Pixel Plus Experience ROM.

There's a Magisk module "MIUI AOD Fix for Mi 10 Lite 5G (monet) (xiaomi.eu) v1.1 by SantiagoG242".
It bypasses this stupid limitation (hope they fix it soon)
What are your thoughts on the device os? Do you think it is good overall and offers good performance and stability? Or would it be better to use a custom rom with it?
I am happy with the global rom, except for a few areas.
1. USB C to 3.5mm adapter is quiet, fixed with a command (need root)
2. Camera's autofocus is bad in some scenarios
The CN rom is filled with the worst kind of bloatware. Every app wants to track your usage, including the realme UI apps. If I remember it correctly, even calculator or some other most basic app requested permissions
Despite global Rom being cleaner, there were still a few bloatware apps that I had to remove like HeyTap Cloud or Quick Device Connect among others.
So to answer your question, stock Rom is good enough but needs a bit of tweaking.
I hope the eu rom is the same as the global rom, but to summarize, the stock rom is good if you can tweak it with root. Am I right?

Love it.
Iam ex-MIUI user, since 2017 (Redmi 4x, Redmi 5, Mi Mix 2, Mix 2s, Mi 8, Mi 9, Mi 10,...) , started with MIUI 7 or 8 global (i guess), later custom MIUIos roms (EU project, without bloatware, better optimization, different ram management, etc), and this is my first phone without MIUI. I was very worried, but for nothing.
I have EU non-root version, bloatware and google apps - done in 5 minutes without complications, OS is fast, pure, without bugs and any similar problems (team MIUI knows...), after month iam very satisfied.
Consider your use case and the budget. I just browse web and instant message 80% of the time.
Realme seems to be good with OTA updates although Global/EU versions get much slower rollout.
Hardware specs are great.
OS is good, and Global/EU ROM is the closest to stock Google experience.
The conclusion is that the hardware is not the limitation, so all the power is in the user hands.
If you want something that works just right out of the box and has greater community support with comparable specs, you'd probably have to look at Galaxy S22 at twice the price or others.
Other good contender is Realme GT Neo 3. Minor trade-offs here and there.
Or if you only care about camera, Realme 9 Pro+ could be a good option too.
All above have IMX766 camera sensor, same as GT 2 Pro.
If you are looking at GT 2 Pro, consider getting CN version and flashing Global.

Why should I get the cn version? If I recall I saw people getting issues when flashing it with global so I think that any version should be fine since with eu it's rootable through an exploit
CN came out much cheaper for me.
Flashing global works fine if the steps are followed carefully.

But if I got EU instead, it should be ok to leave it as is and use an exploit to root it no?

The exploit is only needed to unlock the bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked there's no difference between the various global models with regard to root.
