Suggest Google camera for Redmi Note 4/4x snapdragon - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hello all, I've been using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1 on my redmi note 4 snapdragon for a long time. I want to change to a newer one with nightsight, if there is finally a stable one with good quality. Which one do you suggest?

Redmi 3 vs Honor 5x I hesitate??

Hi there,
Can you help me choosing between these 2?
Will the Redmi 3 get Marshmallow update?
Thanks in advance
Wrong forum, you should compare Honor5x to Redmi Note 2/3 - but anyway ... Redmi 3 wins with battery, performance, OS (because MIUI > EMUI), and price. Honor 5x have better camera and fingerprint reader.

Huawei doesn't have any real support. That is why I have putted aside almost new P7 and bought Redmi3

Huawei and honor are different.
Honor is run separate from its parent company. Honor 7 is getting marshmallow shortly, as is the 6. I've no concern on software updates for the 5x.
Miui compared to emui will be a personal choice.
Tbh stick a launcher like nova etc on the honor and it'll be close to stock android which Miui never will be.

The snapdragon 616 is great? What is the avg Antutu Score?
And 2 days battery life is possible?

I will not try to convince you into buying anything. I'm satisfied with Redmi 3 and it suits my needs, only camera could be better for night photos. As for Snapdragon 616, it is octa core processor and it does what it should do. In single core operations it is not very fast, but in multi core task it is good. Antutu is 35K, but who cares? Battery is strongest side of this phone, for my habits of use it lasts 3 days and 10 hours of SOT (screen on time) with data and wifi always on.

Difference between models?

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)

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

Correct.
So, is it good to buy 4x cause it's more updated than 4?

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.

Redmi Note 5 or Mi A1 ?

Hey guys im looking to upgrade my Redmi Note 4. So im torn between RN5 and Mi A1. I like the screen of Note 5 but I also like the A1 dual camera :/ . Besides bigger screen RN5 is not much of an upgrade... So i guess I just need second opinions
Mi A2 gonna launch in few days. I think you should wait for that
RN5 cameras are far better than A1's. Look at some reviews on YouTube. I would go Rn5, no doubts
Instead go for RN5 pro.
Combo of both bigger display and camera...
RN5Pro , definitely good development and best redmi.

Hello what do You mean by redmi note 5? Vince (sd 625) or whyred (Sd 636)
Ye I wasnt informed well. Redmi note 5 pro china edition is awesome. 5.99 screen, dual cameras.. I think ill go for it
Ok new question? What do you think about redmi s2 ? Is it a good upgrade from redmi note 4? How much better is note 5 from redmi s2? In my country Redmi S2 64/4 is a lot cheaper than Note 5 64/4

I think redmi s2 is just another redmi note 4 with different design, nothing is upgraded except dual camera bs
You could just stay with redmi note 4 . IMHO nothing wrong with it.
I myself just bought a redmi note 4 a week ago. I had the option of redmi note 5 pro, but I decided that 4 is better for my needs. 16:9 aspect ratio (yeah I don't like the 18:9 trend), physical navigation buttons, and camera that doesn't stick out of the phone are somethings that note 4 has and note 5 does not.
