Hello everyone,
I know this is the Q&A for N4P 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!
Hey, i want to swap my RN3P with the RN4P Global... as i hate MIUI i flashed RR the next day i got the phone. i dont use the RN4P as my daily driver right now but here are my short conclusions from the last 3-4 days.
1. for me both phones act the same in speed while opening stock apps, whatsapp, gallery etc. what i noticed is that while swiping homescreen fast the screen seems to blur a bit. i dont know if thats something from the screen or if its something of the software, because kernel sources havent been released yet for the RN4P. as the development is more mature on the RN3P i cant tell if its a bug or something right now. didnt use MIUI a lot.
2. for me both are good in good light conditions, in low light i think both are same ... same ****ty what i noticed is that with the RN3P i could get a little bit closer to objects and take macro shots ... with the RN4P i have to move bit back.
3. cant compare that right now. as the SN625 is way more efficient then the SD650 the RN4P should be better in battery. if we will notice that on a daily basis ... i cant tell
haha, so i will answer your questions:
1. Speed? Both CPU's are in "daily usage" indistinguishable. 650 is faster in games but need more power then the 625. 625 is a downgrade!
2. Camera is okay for a phone that costs about 200€. Low-Light is bad with massive Picture noise, in daylight RN4 has more colors and contrast.
3. I get about 10 hours with my RN3 and about 11 with my RN4. 2 Days use, only WLAN.
Thanks to both of you!
But yeah, at the end of the day, both phones are almost similiar or? From what I've understood, Snapdragon 650 is better for gaming, Snapdragon 625 for daily usage (Facebook,Whatsapp etc) or?
I mean, the Note 4 / Note 4x is lil bit faster in general (except for gaming)?
yeah they are pretty similiar but i love the look of the RN4P. the case design is way better then on the RN3P. the 2.5glas let it look way more expensive then it is. loudspeaker on the buttom is better then on the back.
And the RN4P is the Redmi Note 4x or what? I cant find any Redmi note 4 pro or something like that. Can you link it to me?
Sorry for off topic but i find this thread is worth to ask for this:
Which device is kenzo? The redmi note 3 or the redmni note 3 pro?

Kenzo = Redmi Note 3 pro (snapdragon)
Kate = Redmi Note 3 Pro Special Edition (snapdragon with band 20 LTE)
Hennessy = Redmi Note 3 = Mediatek processor)

Redmi Note 4 "Pro" is probably the Snapdragon one. The "Pro" part isn't official. That started when people online started calling the Redmi Note 3 SD as RN3Pro.
Redmi Note 4X is just the Snapdragon version(Indian) sold in China. As they already have Note 4(Mediatek) there. The only difference are Note 4X has a lot more colors available and it has Bluetooth 4.2 instead of 4.1 on Indian Note 4. ROMs for RN4SD works on 4X as some have stated(can't confirm, I don't own the phone)

Thanks! That means speed wise and battery wise are both Note 4 and Note 4x same devices? The 4x has more colors and looks "more beautiful"?
But still, would you suggest me Note 3 Pro or the Note 4 / Note 4x? As I have said, gaming is not my thing. I just wanna apps open fast and the battery life.
Also, do you know if there is a Note 4x version with lte Band 20? I think there is Note 4 with lte Band 20. but since 4x has more colors, I would rather take that one.
thanks

No, 4 and 4X are not the same device, completely different body design, you should take 4X if you can, it also has better display, and with SD625 you get more screen-on time...

The Note 4 that was sold in India also has SD 625. It also looks the same aside from wider range of colors for the 4X, 5(?) Instead of 3. I'm pretty sure you're talking about the Mediatek version. If you really read my post, you'll see that I'm talking about the Indian variant.

For now none. And who knows if it will have one. Note 3 Kate(Special Edition) has it.
Here: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8580&idPhone2=8531
As you can see Note 4 SD have the same dimensions and weight as the Note 4X.
I don't know if you can import The Indian variant but if you don't live in India you'd probably be better off with 4X as the LTE on the Indian one is limited.
Also the 4/64 variant of the note 4X uses a mediatek chipset. If you want the more efficient, battery friendly SD 625 then stick with the 3/32 variant. If you can't live without the Band 20 then your only choice would be Note 3 Pro Kate. Or maybe another brand though I don't know anything about those..

Yes, but Note 4 Global looks just like 4X design wise.. So Xiaomi made a mistake, they have device with the same name in 2 different designs.
http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_620903.html
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.

AS i read in German boards...
Global = Band 20 LTE
International = only with international ROM, no band 20 LTE

That means I ordered the right one.. happy because of that really because I was unsure about the names.
Just one question. I'm an aosp/cm user for few years already. Is there any rom available for this phone that should be used over standard miui? reasons maybe battery life, camera, speed?

I didn't even know there was a global version of the Note 4. All I know is the Indian Note 4 is basically the Note 4X. The Chinese Note 4 looks more premium(has a metal unibody) than both the Indian and Note 4X but uses Mediatek chipset(not so good at battery department, even note 3 pro beats it). So the Global Note 4 looks the same as the Note 4X only with Mediatek chipset? The Global Note 4 also has SD 625 and the same spec sheet aside from LTE bands and Bluetooth 4.2.
You can flash a ROM for the Indian Note 4 to Note 4X which confirms that they are indeed the same.

Sorry didn't know there was a Global Note 4 with band 20. Good thing you bought the correct one.
Wait for the source code to be released(someone said it's near, don't know if it was already as of this writing) for better stability. Right now you'd probably be better off with MIUI. If you can't stand MIUI I'd recommend AOSP Extended ROM.

Wrong, they recently released a 4GB/64GB Version of the Note 4 Global which uses the same SD 625 (this 20 of april if i recall correctly) , it's not exclusive to the Mediatek CPU

Stupid Xiaomi doing it again releasing the same model with different hardware. As if their naming sense wasn't confusing enough.
hi all,
I bought (at least what I thought I did) xiaomi redmi note 4x and I just niticed that the phone info says xiaomi redmi note 4 and note xiaomi redmi note 4x... have I been tricked?
Thanks for the help..
Re
As long as you got the Snapdragon (Which is the Octa-core) you own what we would call the 4X, but better the MIDO.
Xiaomi is inconsistent in its naming scheme.

MIDO is the code name/production name of the Xiaomi Note 4 with snapdragon, NICKEL is the codename of the Xiaomi Note 4 with Mediatek Chip
Xiaomi released Redmi Note 4 in china with MTK. Then, because of legal problems they released Redmi Note 4 in India with SD. Since the global Redmi Note 4 was already MTK, they named the global SD variant Redmi Note 4X.
My model number is also written as Redmi Note 4. I bought it from Flipkart. I am not aware what is 4X! I just knew that Note 4 has two variants Mediatek and Snapdragon.
So my girlfriend's Redmi Note 4X just broke the screen and she needs a new phone. She was so pleased with it so we wants to try Xiaomi again. However, Xiaomi's model names are so amazingly stupid so I am having trouble choosing.
The first, cheaper, option seem to be the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus.
https://www.honorbuy.com/215-xiaomi-redmi-5-plus-global-version
It is pretty cheap and seems most like the old 4X except the 18:9 screen.
The other option is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
https://www.honorbuy.com/218-xiaomi-redmi-note-5
This looks like a newer phone with a new camera and a new(better?) processor but still with the same screen as the Plus model.
It is also a bit more expensive and only the chinese version seem to be available.
I have seen people here talking about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro but I can't find this model anywhere? Is it the same as Plus?
I was wondering what is the best choice? I will flash LOS on the phone, not sure if that will work on the chinese version or if that version even has support in my country?(Sweden). Which device has the most support here in the forums? Should I buy a "Global" version?
redmi 5 plus = redmi note 5 , and REDMI NOTE 5 PRO is another device
redmi 5 plus and redmi note 5 is same device, but region wise the name is different.
another model is REDMI NOTE 5 PRO with upgraded processor and dual camera, and a front camera of 20MP. I hope the confusion is clear now.

Ok, so just to confirm:
Redmi Note 5 and the Redmi Note 5 Plus is the same device, the name difference is because of regions. However these models exists in various configurations such as different amounts of RAM, storage and colors.
Redmi Note 5 PRO is a newer model with dual cameras, and new CPU.
Is the pro version even out? Because I can't find it. Then I got examples such as this: https://www.honorbuy.com/218-xiaomi-redmi-note-5
Which do have dual cameras and new cpu but no 20MP front camera.

Absolutely correct.
Pro version is availabe here in India.
One easy way to distinguish is PRO version has dual rear camera and 20MP front camera, where redmi 5 plus / redmi note 5 has single camera .

Alright! I just looked at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5px3gLUZgY and he said that the chinese version does not support Band 20, so I will probably wait until the PRO version comes out in a global version.
Redmi Note 5 Pro (India) - whyred - Redmi Note 5 (China/Global)
Redmi Note 5 (India) - vince - Redmi 5 Plus (China/Global)
Hello! Im new here i need your suggestions what to buy 4 or 4x as the two comes w/ snapdragon variant?? Do they have major differences? Bugs or what?? Also, are snapdragon roms are compatible to 4 or 4x as long as its snapdragon? Sorry for my bad english. Any help is appreciated. Ty.

It's the same phone. It simply has different names in different countries. Just make sure it's the Snapdragon version.
Depending on where you live, you may want to buy the Global version of the phone which supports more LTE bands (like band 20 in Europe).
But to be honest with you, I wouldn't buy the Note 4X anymore.
The Note 5/Note 5 Pro is already out.
The MI A1 ist basically a Note 4X with pure Android instead of MIUI and dual camera.
The Redmi 5/Redmi 5 Plus is basically a Note 4X with a 18:9 display instead of 16:9.
The new Mi 6X came out recently with a better CPU, dual cameras and MIUI.
The MI A2 (the same phone as Mi 6X but with pure Android instead of MIUI) will be announced soon.
So all roms and kernels of snapdragon will be compatible to both 4 and 4x as long its snapdragon? Thank you for the suggestions. I'll look for redmi note 5 pro

You need to buy the phone with Snapdragon 625. Depending where you life, it's called either Redmi Note 4X or Redmi Note 4 Global Edition.
Just make sure that you buy the phone with Snapdragon and not MTK (MediaTek) processor

That is good to know, However there is one thing I would like too add:
Xiaomi is very bad in the development scene, they do not provide kernel source and devices trees for developers to build custom roms or kernels, and currently the Redmi Note 4 has both, while new devices probably don't.
If you care about custom roms/kernels ( and everyone here at XDA probably do) check the device respective development threads before purchasing the device to see if there is any activity.
Since basically in my opinion MIUI is a version mess.
Check for the processor. Don't buy the Note with mediatek chipset.
Hello, so I broke the display of my Redmi Note 4X and it may seem like a stupid question, but I am unsure about whether I should buy a screen for a Note 4 or Note 4X, for the following reasons:
-In "About Phone", as well as on the original box, it says that my "Model Number" is Redmi Note 4X
-My android version is 6.0 MRA58K, as well as MIUI Global 10.2, which according to wikipedia(/Xiaomi Redmi Note 4) means I have a Note 4
-In "About Phone" it says that my CPU is the Mediatek Helio X20 Deca Core max 2.11Ghz, which is supposed to be the Redmi Note 4, because Note 4X runs on snapdragon 625.
-My GPU is Mali T880 according to CPU-Z. On wikipedia it says that only the Note 4 has this, and that the Note 4X has the Adreno 506.
-It says everywhere, that the Note 4 has screws on the bottom, on each side of charger, however mine doesn't (as it should be with Note 4X)
-I have read that the charging/notification light is on the left of the speaker for Note 4X, however mine is on the right just like with the Note 4.
So in conclusion, even though I technically have a Note 4X, I am unsure because some of my specs seem to indicate that I have a Note 4 and I don't wanna buy the wrong screen.
I am sure that some of you know more than me about this, and I would appreciate your help. Thanks
There is many chaos in your words.
The Redmi Note 4 (mido) has an Snapdragon 625 with 2016MHz and runs Android 7 with official miui.
This phone has adreno 506.
The notification led is top left.
There are no screws at the bottom of the phone
