What variant of RN4X do I have? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

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

Xiaomi Note 4 (Snapdragon) vs Note 4x vs 3 Pro (Snapdragon)

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?

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

Help choosing Redmi Note 4 or 4x from Aliexpress

Hey,
I'm about to order Redmi Note 4 or 4x, but I'm not sure which one. I live in Croatia and I don't know any better site. Maybe GearBest or GeekBuying but I don't know, recommendations welcomed
Here are 2 devices I was looking
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Dre...n-625-Mobile-Phone-4100mAh-5/32797414678.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Glo...Snapdragon-Octa-Core-5-5-FHD/32796560515.html
I'm looking to buy black one, and I was trying to find 4gb/64gb model (SD625), but black color is not available.
Which one should I get?
Sorry if this is duplicated thread,
Best regards

The 4x has fast charging and comes with a snapdragon 625 processor. The note 4 has no fast charging and comes in 2 different processor options. The faster mediateck processor and snapdragon 625. The 4x is cheaper because it comes with a slower processor. Antutu benchmark has 60,000 for the snapdragon and 80,000 with the mediateck processor. Also there are different global versions with different bands that will work for your country. Go to willmyphonework.net to check compatibility. There are other sites you can try to buy from geekbuying.com and AliExpress.com. Also you can see the different variants on kimovil.com. this site will also tell you prices benchmark scores and a lot more.
Nonsens 4x and 4 are the same.
4X may got diffrent camera sensor.
And its not support fast charging.
And is a Snap Dragon 625.
Get original Redmi Note 4 only.
I also think I have read that they are the same, and only difference is that LTE band or something?
I'm only looking for SD processor because it has more custom roms if I'm not wrong. And I've read that some people have problem with flashing roms on 4x or something
And yeah, I think its Snapdragon 625, not 652
There are 3 different versions of the Redmi Note 4:
1) Redmi Note 4 with Deca-Core Helio X20
2) Redmi Note 4 with Snapdragon 625
3) Redmi Note 4X with Snapdragon 625
Option (2) is imho the "best" of them all as it has not only the better battery compared to its brother (option (1)) but also has more bands (at least LTE Band 20, I think also Band 8 and Band 4 is a difference; you miss out on Bands 39 and 41) than it's cousin (option (3)).
I purchased myself option (2) and am hoping it will arrive soon. Of interesting observation is that (1) and (2) share the same root of name (being "Redmi Note 4") but option (2) is sometimes called "Redmi Note 4 Global Edition" or "Redmi Note 4 International Edition). But some sellers use that name as well for option (3) so please be extra mindful when selecting the option. What is more curious is that (2) and (3) seem to share the EXACT same dimensions and hole-setup, so when looking for a case you may be better off searching for Redmi Note 4X compatible ones as the IR-blaster share the same location amongst both.
As it seems the 64GB version seems to only be available in White+Gold as of now but I decided to not care and if I should care too much exchange the back of the phone for a silver coloured one. Obviously that voids the warranty, but I think international warranty repairs will become more expensive than a new phone will cost. I believe the back from option (3) should fit but I give no guarantee on that as I have had neither phone in my hand nor disassembled either and tested it out.
Further, no devices seem to support quick charging and I would not worry too much about it. The battery is quite large and using the SD version one should have quite a power efficient SoC.
The camera sensor seems to be largely based on Samsung's ISOCell technology these days, so no love from Sony IMX. I hope that noone gets the OmniVision version in here---they are said to be the worst.

Thank You very much for detailed description. I think I've read somewhere that 4x SD version has Sony camera sensor, but I can't confirm that.
Then I'll go for that Redmi Note 4, thank You so much for your really good review and observations, I really appreciate it.
And yeah, lets hope for no OmniVision

Cheers,
the 3 sensors are not only restricted to the Redmi Note 4 Global Edition but also the 4X apparently. Best of luck on the sensor for you in any case.
Regarding LTE: Check with your local provider and the general setup of countries you plan to visit for best coverage information. This may change in the future but unlikely for larger changes as 4G is the de-facto standard right now and mature enough to have settled mostly.
There are several Redmi Note 4:
1. RN 4 (mediatek)
2.RN 4 (normal, sd 625) (ex. Indian Version)
3.RN 4 GLOBAL (sd 625, has LTE Band 20 - sometimes very useful depending on wich country) - Croatia you need this for some operators
Please do check this article on wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Europe , apparently in Croatia you need LTE B3 and B20 - hence get the RN 4 GLOBAL
4. RN 4X (sd 625, identical to normal version but with more Lte band only for China, also has BlueTooth 4.2 wheres all the other versions have 4.1)
As of camera sensor, it is like a lottery, you either get the Sony IMX258 or the Samsung S5K3L8. Please note that another NEW version of the phone is recently introduced to the market - RN 4X 3/16GB (please note the 3gb of Ram and 16 (sixteen) GB Rom) - DON'T get this one - it has a new Camera Sensor - Omnivision (chinese!). Imho both Sony and Samsung sensors are somewhat on par, but have been reports where the Omnivision senor has had problems.
If you need more info quote or PM me.
EDIT;
from the link you provided i suggest the second one because it clearly indicates the presence of B20 in the description: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/Glob...Snapdragon-Octa-Core-5-5-FHD/32796560515.html

Redmi 4X Note VS Redmi 4X?

Hello, i do not own the device yet, just wanted to know wether the same issue as on the Redmi 4x occurs here, i'm talking about notification LED being white only & fingerprint not recognized. Let me know, thanks.

what do you mean? the notification led is multi color, and isnt only white on redmi note 4x. Also the fingerprint is fabulous, like if you use miui, it wakes super FAST! also if you want to compare redmi 4x and redmi note 4x, please note that the chipset used in both the devices are not same. Redmi 4x uses a Snapdragon 435, (1.4 ghz) whereas the note 4x has a much more powerful sd 625 (2 ghz), and tbh there are no issues with any of them (atleast i never had any issues regarding led and fingerprint)

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.

Question Redmi Note 10 vs Redmi Note 10 5G

I ordered a "Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Lake Green 4Gb Ram 128Gb ROM" from Amazon. All my research indicated that this phone was a Redmi Note 10:
Qualcomm SDM765 Snapdragon 765G Octa-core processor
Lake Green color
Model M2101K7AG
I received what appears to be a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G:
Model M2103K19C
However, it appears to be:
Lake Green color (not offered on XIaomi Redmi Note 10 5G)
Qualcomm Octo-Core Max 2.2GHz (Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G has a MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor)
So, from my research I appear to have a quasi Note 10/Note 10 5G.
Before I go through the Amazon return process, can anyone help me:
1) Identify whether the phone has mojito vs camellia?
2) Find any other identifying information that would determine if this phone is capable of using mojito targeted ROMs?
3) Tell me which phone I have in my hand?

Redmi Note 10 (mojito/sunny) have a Snapdragon 678 processor
check Aida64 or Device Info HW to see all device specifications
or send pictures of the device so we can recognize it
Device specifications lists:
Android version: 11 RP1A,200720.011
MIUI version: 12.5.1.0(RKSEUXM)...which seems to indicate Redmi Note 10 5G
Baseband version: MOLY.NR15.R3MP.V4.3P63
Kernel version: 4.14.186-perf-g11c1b40f5322
But I cannot find mention of mojito/sunny or camellia.
I used Aida64 and it noted:
camellian
M2103K19C
MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor
So, this confirms that it is a Redmi Note 10 5G, but also seems to indicate that the seller is shady.
Thank you for the advice on where to look, it was very helpful.

Actually Dimensity 700 is superior over the SD678 in more ways than one. Plus the refresh rate of 90 hz and you got a clear winner. I have the Redmi Note 10 and it is an ok phone but it struggles running more than one app : e.g Outlook and Maps, making switching between them a real pita. It sometimes takes up to 10 sec for Outlook to open a mail. It is ridiculously slow CPU for what it is supposed to do on a modern Android Platform.

I meant no judgement on the Dimensity 700, I only meant that the seller clearly stated that it was the Snapdragon, but the phone had the MediaTek, which indicated shadiness to me. I am sure that the Redmi Note 10 5G is great, and better than the Redmi Note 10, which is why it costs more. But it was not the phone that I was looking for.
