I'm getting my hands on Note 4x (tomorrow) MTK (MT6797M) since I catch a great deal with it, but looking at the devs forum here...
MTK get less love compared to its Snapdragon counterpart. Im planning to tweak my unit a bit, so it'll be hard if I encounter issues with MTK.
Should I cancel this purchase and downgrade to 3GB/32 Snapdragon from 4G/64 MTK?
:halppls:
Yeah! If you're into tweaking and tinkering, snapdragon variant got much love.

Uhh... Yeah, it'll be fine if you use stock rom.
In addition to that performance on MTK variant of Redmi-note-4 is better than snapdragon variant.
MTK variant has also got some Roms tho... :laugh:
Your choice...

In my opinion, if you are going to buy a Xiaomi phone, you should always get one with a Snapdragon chipset. It will save you much angst down the road.
Snapdragon
Go for it
Snapdragon is much better. My friend is using 4X MTK version. He told me it drained battery and always overheated. The plus of MTK version is only the benchmark (higher than SD version),the screen quality and build quality. I've just ordered 4X SD version and it will be arrived in some days.
MTK no, worste gps, drain battery.
Snapdragon is better
Aha, that's right. MediaTek 20nm process Soc I do not recommend buying, Qualcomm 808 810 is a good example. MediaTek note 4x although there are 4gb RAM but MediaTek X20 processor heat terror. You can go to MIUI China Forum to see, complained that MediaTek version of the heat, cut off a lot of people. They all regret to buy the MediaTek version of the redmi note 4x.
In my opinion, Qualcomm 625 can be regarded as a real high with version!

Hi. What exactly do you mean by screen quality and build quality? I thought both variants are exactly the same except for the SOC used?

I have 2 Note 4X MTK version, bought for the 64gb/4gb feature. Battery is good, does not overheat too. Of course, I don't play cpu-intensive games, only 1 game, Clash Royale.
I don't know about the Snapdragon, but I'm happy with the MTK. I just installed the developer build of MIUI 9 on one, and battery lasts even longer, power saving on permanently.

It depends on what you're looking for.
If for good camera, then probably one+2,if for good battery life then redmi.
There are many other thing s you have to consider, like type of display, system, sdcard slot etc. So it's really up to your personal preference.

nope not for me because i have a 128 gb sd card so the op2 died for me directly as choice. XD
but if you care about gaming etc, get a op2.
i use my phone for internet and media stuff, so i dont need a good gpu. i am actually realy surprised abeit my redmi note 3 pro. if you want a good costum rom support, get one with the snapdragon (qualcom) processor.
unlock bootloader with official tool like op... worked all like charm, i am happy camera is also fine. i mean... i dont expect an dlsr but camera is pretty fine for a phone.
if your phone goes broken, you have the same ****ty china support by both sides.
additional, miui is kind of nice and you get one dev update per week.
by op you can wait much longer.
but i use aicp rom, so also no matter for me.
so all together: you get a good device if you want updates and sd cards.
if you prefer more a better camera and more performance, get a op2.
but honestly... i dont pay much attention on performance but i am a power user and my xiaomi is working like charm in pro edition with 3gb ram.
the OP2 has less performance !

How? The 810 soc is very powerful and though it had it's share of overheating, looks like guys on the OP2 forums fixed that with a ton of kernel tweaks. i'm seeing antutu scores of between 90 - 103 on their cm14 rom's and let's not even get started on the GPU...Point is the 810 is very still a flagship soc. Snapdragon 821>820>810>>652>650...
Oh no I don't think, In benchmark s810 better than 650 yes, but in reality.... the a72 are fastest same if they are only 2 than the "old gen" cores of S810...
The GPU isn't stable a long time, when the GPU of 650 is perfectly stable ... looks manhattan longterm performance (30minutes) same if in theory 510 = 418 or 420 in practical it's a stable GPU so really better than us and same than 810, maybe one 810 could be better it's the nexus 6p... but OP2 really not ...
Hi, I am kinda bored of my Moto G3 which have only 8gb memory.
I would like to buy the best q/p phone I can found. So I saw the Xiaomi's phone.
Then I saw the Redmi Note 3 Pro and the Redmi Note 4.
I am wondering, is the Kenzo/Kate still worth buying at the end of year 2016?
If yes, should I consider the Kenzo or Kate?
I don't care about 4G but I care about ROMS (=Kenzo), accessories (=Kenzo) and built quality (=Kate? Newer is better?) as the aftersale can be a real problem with this phone.
And what about the Redmi Note 4? I would trust him more for the build quality but I might be wrong... I know that there is a poor amount of rom/update but if the phone is smooth enough it might be enough for me.
My thanks guys
Go for the Kenzo, you won't regret it.
What you will regret though is wasting your money on the Redmi Note 4 aka a pile of trash.

Still worth it, i have the RN3 Snapdragon since 02/16 and was thinking to buy a new device, of course the build quality is better on the RN4 and it is looking a little bit nicer, but the RN4 isn't so smooth as the RN3 in some points, for example in gaming, the camera with ONLY 13mp / the software for the camera is also not good, but this is a known miui problem for likely all devices.
You can also find some threads in the miui forum, that Nougat or higher will not be supported for the RN4, but for the RN3 causes of the MTK-chipset. You can find hundreds of cons & pros at the miui forum or somewhere else but at all i'm thinking the RN3 is a good choice and take the Kenzo, more stable than the Kate one for me.
Hope that this will help you a bit :good:

If i buy it I will pray that they won't release a 4 with 652 or a Redmi 5 in a month :v and that i won't have any hardware issue
I am not sur I can trust Top one, but they are the only one who sales the white RN3P
I want RN4 for design and smoothness but I am also considering Redmi 4 Prime for snapdragon processor

Yeah, run this one, Top One is legit and ask if you can get the phone SEALED!
I think it is running a custom vendors rom, not so great, if you can get it sealed, it would be better because you dont have to flash an original rom.
When you get it with a vendors rom, then flash over fastboot with mi flash, if fastboot isn't working, simply turn your phone into EDL mode, then flash it :good:
Look on Miui Forum for the tutorial

Kenzo have more roms, this is why I want a Kenzo or at least flash Kenzo roms on Kate. I don't care about 4g
I think this phone is still a good buy. I went with Kate just so I could get LTE here in the States. I was getting sick of 3G/H+ speeds with my past 5 Xiaomi devices.

Hello guys
So I've been using my nexus 5x along with my moro e for few months now
Recently my nexus 5x ran into some problems I couldn't solve
So I'm now looking for new device
Is redmi note 4 worth buying for me ?
When I was using nexus 5x. ..I've been using lot of custom ROMs .. Can i expect same from redmi note 4 ?
I need notification light as well
While on nexus 5x. . if I relock my boot loader I could claim my warranty ..does the same goes with xiaomi ?
Please someone answer these questions and suggest me

If you really like MIUI, then I'd say its worth it...There's not a lot available for custom ROMs and I don't know if there ever will be. I also am unsure if Xiaomi will ever bring Nougat to the phone either, though I would expect it at this point.
The phone is pretty fast..It's the software that is holding it back...I have a Nextbit Robin with the 808 processor (Same as your 5x), and this thing smokes the robin in real world performance (And Geekbench4).

That's the story for every Mi and I've used a couple.
To me the best solution would be getting rid of MIUI and going with stock... but on Mi h/w. Easier said than done though. Ah well at least one can get the Google Now launcher and the app drawer.
I've been a 'flashaholic' with my previous phone the LG G3, and changing to RN4 is a pretty big deal for me(because MediaTek and MIUI)
You can't expect the same support since you're coming from a NEXUS device but there's a decent amount of ROMs for the RN4 here and more to come.
Stock MIUI 8 isn't bad actually, just paired it with root access, nougat theme and nova launcher. All good for me.

if you get it for cheap then yeah. TRy getting the snapdragon version for INSANE battery life. Apart from that, the MTK version shares all the same features (like camera quality) as the snapdragon one. One thing though; the MTK one charges one hour faster that the Snapdragon version. For the record, the 4100Mah Redmi note 4 MTK charges in 2 hours and 10 minutes from 5% using a 5V 2A charger. add 1 hour for the snapdragon version.

no fast charging. Without it, the 625 SOC won't take in more current vs MTK redmi note 4 which takes 5v 2A.

Yes it does.
Nougat based MIUI beta version is available. I have been using 4 GB model & my advice is to just go for it.
I have preferred MIUI & have stuck to Xiaomi handsets. Recently, I purchased Moto Z Play as Xiaomi phones were coming hybrid Sim with just 32 GB internal memory, which were not fulfilling my needs. But I was annoyed by lack of customisation, firewall, Blocklist, Call Recorder, internet speed meter & auto BackUp, which are present in MIUI & are absent in Moto Z Play. Now for Moto Z Play, I had to install a lot of additional softwares, but sense of perfection with MIUI was somehow missing. In first Redmi Note 4 sale, I purchased a 4GB variant & sold Moto Z Play for pittance.
Like the title says, which phone would you consider to replace this one if it were to break? Is there a phone out there that could be a worthy successor?
There are better phones of course.just not for the price.if my rn3 broke I would definitely buy another.i feel that for $180 the choices are very limited and xiaomi hit the mark.thats just my opinion tho.

Couldn't ageee more. Even that rn4 is released i still prefer rn3. This phone is just too god for its price.
And if you look that it is on top 3 custom rom devices... Then its very hard to say which will be next or rn3 again:laugh:

Mi 6C
Maybe future redmi note phones...
I'm waiting for a mid-high end or flagship phone with 4000+ mah battery & vooc/dash charging.
Its weird reading users praising their rm3000 ($700+) devices for getting 5-6 hours sot per day while I can easily get 8-10 hours on this 'budget' device.
Oh yeah I want my next phone to have great custom rom support to like this phone.

Mmm I don't know..i buyed rn3p as a transition phone to buy something better in 2 months. This was at August 2016. The battery, the modding convinced me to take it as daily driver phone.
Ok so long story short, I'm looking at a new phone somewhere around 200 eur. The note 4x stands out to me as being good. However, I'm really confused about the different versions (CPU and stuff) and am wondering if anyone can help me out.
I've found these 2 phones. One has the Qualcomm CPU whilst the other seems to have the Mediatek helio. Which one is better/what are the key differences between them. Also, do they both ship with the Chinese MIUI or global? (sadly can't add links yet).
(I'm aware that this is sliiiightly off topic but is the note 4x the best Xiaomi phone under 200? What about the redmi 4x and others?...)
Thanks in advance, a noob who's way out of his league.
Edit: I'm stupid, both phones have the same CPU. My other questions still stand though.

YO,
Get the qualcomm snapdragon variant if you're into modding, tweaking.
Dunno about what version the device shops with, it's depends upon the regions too I guess as mine shipped with global stable (Indian variant of Redmi-note-4 (snapdragon)), you might get different version of miui installed on your device, I dunno much about MIUI version tho.
Yep, it's the best device under 200 atm.
Redmi 4X is also good one, but it has snapdragon 435 and it's better to get Redmi note 4.
hey guys when the global rom is installed is it normal for it to show up as a redmi note 4 not the 4x?
also if that is normal will it affect anything like apps working or OTA updates?

The seller of the note 4x I'm buying from pointed out that exact thing. It's normal from what I know.
I don't think it affects apps and updates since under the skin, the 2 devices should be the near same.
