Assuming you had the choice to get this or Xperia Z3+ and you intended to use custom ROM on both, which would you choose?

Hi, I bought my redmi note 4x after I lost my z3+, experienced both on custom roms. IMO the one thing sony z3+ beats redmi note 4x is the camera, other than that note 4x is way better than the z3+ in terms of performance and battery life. Had a lot of overheating issues with my z3+, with said overheating leads to performance issues, look it up you'll find a lot of people having the overheating problem.
in short, if the camera doesn't bother you much, go with redmi note 4x

First of all, thanks for the answer.
As for the topic... I'm well aware of the overheating issues. People are claiming that the issue is not solved, so I've been pretty skeptical about it. As someone who has used quite a few Sony phones (T, Z, Z1, Z3), I have been a big fan of their camera. Though I don't mind an average one either, so it's not much of an issue. What I wonder though is which does a better job at gaming.
Also, which is better? MediaTek or Snapdragon?

Absolutely. Xiaomi + Snapdragon is excellent (cheap + lots of custom ROMs). From previous experience, I would never buy Xiaomi + MTK again. There are serious issues with kernel sources being released, and nobody can ever tell for certain where the problem lies.
Alright, thanks for your answers. One last question.... I can only get the chinese version that does not support B20(800) 4G. I suppose that has nothing to do with the ROM, right? If I change the ROM to the global one, the phone will still not support B20(800) 4G, right?

Hello everyone,
I've had my sgs3 over a year now and enjoyed every bit of it. now im looking for a replacement but on cheaper side. it doesn't need to be a flagship and I mostly look for gamin and multimedia capabilities with best camera for the price. so I came across Xiaomi Note Enhanced version for about 200$ and it seems just about perfect. mainly Meadiatek 1.7Ghzx8 CPU, Mali-450 GPU with 2gb ram it seems like a steal. but Im afraid of what Im losing and what Im gaining.I have no expierince with MIUI evr. so if you can share your thought, Its much appreciated.
1. would MIUI run every droid game and apps like regular Android? (I know about xposed not working. but im concerned about TB, Greenify, SuperSU, Root Explorer.
2. It says Mali-450 is 1.4x improvement over Mali-400. but our SGS3 runs mali400mp4 and clocked 533. so how would this par?
3. I dont care about screen mirroring DLNA and stuff. but for sound quality I crave. so anyone have expierience with xiaomi sound, input will be a great help.
4. for the last, I would like to know your opinion as I think of giving my s3 to my gf if I got satisfied with Redmi Note. but of course never leave the forum sake of im a xda user who wouldn't use a phone in regular manner is it worth to give away s3 over this redmi note?
Thank you.
I just got the Redmi Note, maybe this will help you a little?

Custom ROMs will be a problem since there aren't enough devs to port or build roms for that device.
And I've spoken to just 2 Xiaomi users and they don't like it at all. It's not just about the number of cores in the CPU or GPU. MTK is A-7 based and offers poor performance compared to A-9 or A-15 CPU.

Damn! such a bad news. My budget is $200 dollars and the lists of phones I have in mind are: Xiaomi Redmi Note,iOcean X7 Elite,THL T11 MTK6592 and Huawei Honor 3C Quad Core.. But like you see they all have MTK.... Sinse all have the same performance I was thinking to get one well known company better..
Go for redmi note. You, as a normal user, won't give rat's ass about a15, a9 etc. The a7 octa gives enough performance for everyday use. And miui is da bomb

I agree, good performance, and redmi note is a good phone

Hopefully you held off for the Note 2 it's @ 1.7GHz , not the 1.4 GHz the original note was at.
Development is centered at the MIUI site, go there for more info.
Over all the phone is fast, very fast, so fast you will only see the difference between the A9/17 or Snapdragon 800 8274AB 2.3GHz and the A7 by software measurements.
I'm deciding between the Note 2 and the THL 5000.
5½" and 3300mAh Vs 5" and 5000mAh
so at the end,
which smart phone did you buy ?
i already bought a Redmi Note
still enjoying it
Well... I have two units here just arrived...Almost everything work as it should, but I have problems making data connection working. Wi-fi works great, but data over mobile network doesn't want to work at all. I've checked out on both units using different SIM cards (from different providers). I have to mention that the SIM cards work using other phones. AND I have to say that didn't want to sign up yet for any of the xiaomi services (cloud and rest). It must be somewhere in MIUI a setting. MIUI is a customised version of Android.
For the price seems to be a good product.

there are 3 version of redmi note2 (which you probably have). One of them is made for China 3g networks and other is WSCDMA.
When battery is removed you can read which version you have (maybe it's not usable on your networks).
Bought redmi note recently and I can say that it feels faster that Samsung Note 2 (I have both phones).
xiaomi phones are not replacement but best phones
...in terms of hardware specs and value for money, looks is something personal. Why branded phones are very expensive are because of their marketing cost and the cost attached to the brand value. Other than that xiaomi phones are very good.
My cousin bought the Xiaomi Mi3 and i bought a Redmi 1S for my fiance and both the phones are awesome and have very good camera and sound quality.
I have been using Galaxy S3 since 2012, and let me tell you I have been using MIUI Rom even before on my Sony Xperia X10, so as I got my S3 i rooted it and installed MIUI rom.
Yes, all your apps and games will run without any problem as it is Android, every manufacturer have their own version of Launcher and apps to differentiate their phones. What made me fall in love with MIUI were its native apps and features (like call recording which is available only when rooting, but in Xiaomi phones this is built in), and themes (you can change everything to your liking with one click- the dialer, messaging, statusbar, wallpaper, bopot animation, lockscreen, font, etc. or change each individually, and their themes are awesome).
I would suggest you to go for Xiaomi Mi3 if it suits your budget. But if you already have Samsung Galaxy S3 and if its performing good enough, then no point buying a phone with similar hardware. I am waiting for Mi4 to launch in India. Its a kickass phone (google it).
keep 'em both
Got both phones. Still love my SGS3 for the customizations.
More Redmi Note ROMs here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-26132-1-1.html
flashed mine with the ported Color OS. performed better than the original MIUI OS. you could also try the AOSP ROM faux 4.4.2 (actually its just 4.2.2) seem nice. i just dont like the developer switched the main storage for the external and so on..
Hey can someone port flyme rom from MX6 MEIZU smartphone which uses the helio x20 soc. Or maybe other roms from smartphones that use the helio x20. Thanks.

Can you please be more specific? Do you own this device?
I am using this phone with the global dev rom, Xposed and more for 4 months now and am genuinely happy. Coming from an Xperia Z3 at 3-fold the price tag with constant overheating problems the RN4 simply works smoothly and constantly.
BTW, I would also appreciate a few more choices for alternative roms, but MIUI 8.2 is doing great for me.

Yes I own it and regret buying it, nothing wrong with the device itself, build quality and features are good, the only bad thing about it is the MTK chipset and it is the most important thing in a phone, it overheats and lags when gaming, and the development is already dead for this device thanks to them not sharing their sources. Will never see Nougat on this device for sure.

Okay, but isn't this the standard rant about MTK? You could have known before you decided to buy this device. Your overheating problems could be solved, but I guess you just want to complain for complaints sake.

Screen, Sound will be better on Moto Z Play. Especially sound which is pretty mediocre on RN4. Also the AMOLED display is superb on Moto Z Play.
As for Roms RN4 is better choice, it's much more active community and with kernel sources released lately it will only get better. Also RN4 has much better battery.
If price doesn't matter definitely get Moto Z Play. :good:

You might improve it slightly with roms and mods but not that much.
Also Moto Z Play has clean android without any stupid vendor UI's which alot of people might like..
Without bias (as redmi note 4 owner) Moto Z Play is much better device honestly. (but it also costs more obviously )

What about Z play vs Lenovo P2 ? Which one better for Roms and long support from Developers ?
In store near my home there is P2 with 310$ - Z play 338$ - RN4 265$
Im in confuse between all the three
"Moto" brand is owned by Lenovo, so about the same.
Personally from the 3 phones you mentioned i would buy Moto Z Play.

The Moto Z Play. It costs a lot more for a reason.
The only thing the RN4 has better is longer battery life.
Lenovo p2 is good
I am thinking to get a budget phone like Xiaomi redmi 4, or 4x or Lenovo P2. However I am not sure how is the camera quality in these phones against our g2.
Any feedback please?

go to gsmarena, put all 3 devices in compare and see the differences...
many if the newer devices have better camera than lg g2...
yesterday, my wife bought a Huawei Honor 7 Lite (or 5C) and it beats my old lg g2 camera by a mile... mainly because a much better sensor and lower\brighter f-stop lens (f2.0)...
and the price of that new Huawei was around 210$ (carrier free)... sure, it can be found even cheaper on the internet...
The camera of the G2 is much better than the camera found on the redmi note 3 pro. I guess that the camera on the other budget Xiaomi phones ain't gonna be special, either. In daylight you can't see much of a difference between the G2 and the Xiaomis, but in low light the G2 performs much better. To sum this up, you don't buy Xiaomis for their cameras. You won't be so disappointed but you won't be amazed either. You should think of other criteria before buying a new phone.
Hit thanks if I helped!

https://www.kimovil.com/en/compare-smartphones/name.Mi5s (choose the one that meets your needs)
Take a look at the mi5s. It's in your budget if you buy it from China and it's probably one of the best Xiaomis out there. When it came out it had some problems with the fingerprint sensor performance, though. I don't know if it has been fixed. The Lenovo zuk z2 (pro) is also a good option.
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.

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)
