Redmi Note 4 64gb 4gb ram Snapdragon vs 32gb 3gb ram snapdragon? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hey im about to order 3 redmi note 4 phones but i just wanted to check one thing i am looking at the 64gb global version with 4gb of ram and the snapdragon 625 soc
is there any other difference between the 64gb and 32gb version with 3gb of ram?
and is the rom support the same for both from what i have seen there is no separate roms for the 64gb version so im assuming it is the same as the 32gb version other than the storage and ram but i just wanted to check before i ordered them
Thanks

Yes, you're correct. Everything's same except RAM & ROM. As you said, Roms are compatible. Better get 64gb variant as you'll get MOAR AND MOAR storage. :silly:

Is there really a Snapdragon version with 4Gb/64GB? Unless this is an absolutely new development, all 4GB/64GB versions I have seen are MTK.

Ofc, for some time already. I have one for $270. It's really worth it, they are brand new.. on my box it says the phone was manufactured at 07.2017 so the phone left factory less than a month ago, crazy.

Well, well - it seems that Xiaomi is really going strong with the SD RN4. Perhaps we will also get an SD 6Gb/128GB soon? Personally, I would prefer better cameras, NFC, and a 5000mah battery ...:fingers-crossed:

Redmi Note 3 Pro & Pro Prime

Hi,
I've got a question about this two versions. I want to buy the Pro Prime but I wonder if the customs ROM's made for the Pro are compatible with the Pro Prime ?
Different CPUs mean different phones (inside).
So if you flash a ROM made for the other model, you will BRICK your phone for sure.
ALWAYS be careful and flash ROMs for your phone specific!

Yes know that, but when I look at the phones specifications I see the processor are the same (SnapDragon 650), just the RAM (3GB) and the ROM(32GB) are changing. So I wondering if when I see ROM for "Redmi Note 3 Pro", I can flash it with a "Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime"
Yes totaly, that's the same hardware with just more ram and rom

Good to hear, thanks a lot
So the Pro and the Pro Prime are the only with Snapdragon processor ?
Yep (Pro is here for saying that's the snapdragon variant)
Go for the higher version, sd with 3gb ram and 32gb rom. I had it with 128gb external sd card which formatted to fat32 since day one.

Confusion in Redmi 4 lineup. Are these phones Redmi Note 4 (Mido) with Android 7?

My retailer has about 3 days to complete my RMA,after that I will get my money back. Unfortunately, Redmi Note 3 Kenzos are not on sale anymore so I was looking towards and alternative. And Xiaomis Redmi 4 lineup is confusing as hell. I tried looking with help of Xiaomi.eu device list,but I´m still not sure. I would like to get a phone with good XDA support but have an option of MIUI9 on Android 7.0 (Mainly Splitscreen mode)
Website is in czech,but you can use Google Translate.

Yep. That's it. Go get it. :good:
And there are tons of custom roms already for Snapdragon variant aka Mido. Good to go.
Thank you. I just wanted to be sure since Xiaomi.eu lists Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm,Redmi Note 4 (MTK version I guess?),Redmi 4x,something called Redmi Note 4x (?) is avaliable in my country as well.. It is more confusing than 3 models. But is Mido the variant with international LTE?
If my Note 3 Pro isnt in this town on Thursday (in my country, Retailers have 30 days for RMA including holidays and such,quite nice), I will try to get my money back and get 32GB version of Note 4 (Mido). I really do not need 64gig model,since I have 32GB SD card for ROMs and music.

Ah, yeah. Xiaomi's naming scheme completely sucks!
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x considered as Mido on their website, you've to DL note 4x's EU rom, it'll works for any snapdragon 625 powered Mido, doesn't matter whatever they call it. Ie; in India they sold snapdragon variant of Redmi-note-4 as redmi-note-4 only whereas redmi note 4X on most of the places.
Don't worry, just dont get confused, get the Redmi note 4 /4x which ships with Snapdragon 625 in it, good to go. And yeah, it has storage expansion too.
So Redmi Note 4 with S625 is Mido.. Confusing as hell. Different market,different naming.. Not surprised retailers are confused. I was originaly thinking about 5.2inch Redmi 4,but after seeing how little is community working on it,I will have to live with that giant 5.5inch display.

Hi,just one more thing. Were you able to find tempered glass screen protector that would fit? Note 4 has (unfortunately) 2.5D glass. At first I was hoping a Note 3 screen protector I have extra would fit,but now I´m really not sure.
Now I´m confused even more. What is Note 4x? Is it Mido as well? I havent found anything about it on Xiaomi.eu phone list. XDA also does not list that phone. Is it Mido as well? I dont want to end up with wrong phone since Czech Resellers are confused as well.

Ayy, 4X is also Mido (except for Chinese), you can flash redmi note 4 Snapdragon variant Roms / kernels on 4x too. That's just name matters.

If it has a Snapdragon 625, then it is Mido. My phone is a Note 4X, with SD625. Mido ROMs are perfectly fine on it. Just make sure that it does not have a Mediatek chipset, and you will be fine.
So Chinese version (with "Global"/ EU LTE) is Note 4 and Indian version is 4X? I cant even buy Mediatek version (fortunately) in my country. I´m asking mainly because some sellers on Aliexpress are warning that screen protectors for 4X wont fit 4 etc. Thanks guys! Lets hope I can get my Note 4 in few days.

Ah man... Lemme make this very clear!
Indian version of Redmi-note-4 is of Snapdragon variant (SD 625) and Xiaomi called it ad redmi note 4 only!
Indian variant of Redmi-note-4 is nothing but Xiaomi's all Snapdragon versions of Redmi-note-4/4x with Snapdragon Soc, except some bands / hardware things. You can install redmi note 4 (SD 625) Roms on any Xiaomi's redmi note 4 / 4x variant if it is of Snapdragon 625 soc. (I'm not writing about Chinese variant of Redmi-note-4x here)
All I can say is, don't get confused, just get the one with Snapdragon 625 on it, you're good to go.

When you get yours, you will see where your screen protector needs to have all its perforations. I have not found it difficult to get tempered glass screen protectors for my 4X (from ebay).
Thanks. I rather ask twice since our Czech Resellers are confused. Thanks! Hopefully I will be able to order mine today or tommorow. And are you using custom ROM or MIUI? I would like to try MIUI 8 on 7.0 Nougat first (Splitscreen)

[Urgent] Note 4x MTK or Snapdragon?

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:

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 noticed MTK version has a better screen brightness. Try watching the same movie on both phones. Also I think MTK version has better build by holding both phones. Maybe it's just my feelings. [emoji14]

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.

Which note 4x variant should I get ?

I currently have a Moto G3 and it's getting old, was looking for an upgrade around 200$ Canadian. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x seems like the perfect candidat.
I have a some questions:
1: I found that there's a 3gb Ram 32Gb Rom version with the snapdragon 625 and also the 4gb 64gb Rom one with the Helium X20 for almost nothing more, really not sure which one to get
as it seems the Helium is a worst processor ?

Thanks a lot
Im using a snapdragon variant 4/64gb and i can recommend it. If i were you i wouldnt take a mtk device. Poor support, bugged roms etc. Stick with snapdragon variant.

Quick charge isnt supported by that device. Well, it is supported by CPU, but that doesn't mean that device does.

Mido 3GB/32GB or 4GB/64GB Version

Guys, I've a few questions for those who know both.
1) Do they have physical differences?
2) Do custom roms meant for the 3/32 version also work on the 4/64 version?

As far as I understand it, there are two models. One with Snapdragon (Codename: mido) and one with Mediatek (Codename: nikel). And they have slightly physical difference (I think one is 1mm longer or something and sensors have different places). Storage and RAM should not matter, only look what processor you have.
