Hey i have an motorola Photon, but he stucks on GB
Until april i will have 280$ without use.
So what phone should i pick? ( in the future )
anyway is saw the new MTK6588 it's amazing
so any recommends?
I'd say Meizu phones are the best of the Chinese phone lot. Meizu MX is really nice, though a tad iPhone-y.
You can buy Motorola Atrix
U can try xiaomi mi2 just released I heard its very nice,check gsmarena for full specificatoins..

HDC S3 i9300 Quad Core Mtk6588
Hello, how are. Well tell them that I'm brand new to android so I know understand, if this happen to some other thread, just let me know. It turns out that a few weeks ago to buy a mobile named: HDC Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 mtk6588 to 1.4ghz, 1g ram, 8gb rom, 16 gb sd, 8mpx cam, 2mpx front cam, 4.8 inch lcd. The truth is a great phone for me at least a passing Omnia 2 has this. The point is that as desconosco were unaware even android and I wanted to root as the play google told me he had updates for some applications, at that time I did not know use SuperSU benia already installed, and I had no better idea to follow a statute root of this type of phone, but for mtk 6575-6577. and so I did, the point is that now tells me I have 480 MB RAM and 1GB, 2GB rom and 8GB, 2GB sd and 16gb ARMv7 processor (VFPv3, Neon), and not a mtk 6588. Wifi does not work, or the camera or bluetooth, if the 3g and data. I learned to use the tool and flash recovery mode, I tried as much ROM for this type of mobile found, of course whenever with mtk6575 but the flash tool or update. zip I get errors. Firmware for Mtk6588, there is on the web at least I did not find it. It is not more to do, so I turn to you to see if there is a solution, or simply lost mobile. From already thank you very much and forgive the scroll.

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.
Hi, There's a lot of ROMS

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..
Hello, I wan't to get this phone, but I have no idea if I should take the 3GB+32GB variant over the 2GB+16GB one. The difference is 40$, is it really that worth it? Thanks.
please help me, if possible
from where? the best price right now i think is here: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-3-Pro-5-5-Inch-FHD-3GB-32GB-Smartphone-371104.html
Whats special about the prime edition?
It says in the following link"special version b7,b20....etc" ......are these radio bands??!
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32717858702.html?trace=storeDetail2msiteDetail#autostay
And yes the 3gb ram is much better in multitasking and the 32gb rom lets you install more apps without the need to root to move such apps to sd card.

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.

Do you know why it takes 1 hour longer?

no fast charging. Without it, the 625 SOC won't take in more current vs MTK redmi note 4 which takes 5v 2A.
Thanks to all those who replied
I'm looking forward to buy a snapdragon variant soon
I have one more doubt tho
Does Redmi note 4 has a notificationlight ?
Thanks

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.
Now I need a new phone as soon as possible. My Zuk Z1 crashed 3 weeks ago and I've been using my dad's phone from then which is a Asus Zenfone 2 with 2Gb RAM, 16 Gb storage and a Snapdragon 400. Xiaomi just held a conference in India launching the Y1 and Y1Lite, with the 435 and 425 respectively, other than that they also added a dedicated SD card slot. Other than this I don't really need much. I read a lot, listen to a lot of music and watch Youtube videos and need a lot of storage, I don't game or take pictures for that matter. The SD400 stacks up ok after 2+ years just lags a little from now and then.
Now as per trend, Xioami most probably will launch the Redmi Note 5 in January. And I personally love the Note 4 and A1. My primary concern is if I buy the Note 4 now, will it stack up well till mid 2019 or so, or should i wait for the Note 5 or should I get the new Y1 though the latter has an 5.5" HD and not a FHD display which I feel I need but the 435 might age well.
I've a question also - After rooting, can I remove pre installed apps and still get official updates ?
Any advice is appreciated.
Wait for redmi note 5 snapdragon.
want dual camera then wait for 5... or else our rn4 is ready to serve...though if you can wait it'll always be better...so if u can wait do so or else gget rn4 coz miui9 update is also here...as for unistallin bloatware, of course u can..updates come as downloadable zip files flashable through twrp
Go for the mi note 4 64gb to get good storage both internal and external but it will be with miui.
And if you like stock android and quick updates from google then go for mi a1.. But still almost end of 2017 i would suggest to wait for redmi note 5..

if you can wait for rn5
In case it's urgent:
Look if you need better camera and don't care about battery go for mi a1
And if you're a heavy user like me and an average camera is enough for you then go for rn4 also it has better development support for now.
Please hit thanks button if I helped!
