I purchased the 4x international version. I had a Samsung Galaxy Note5 before this. I don't care what specs say this phone is really nice. I say take the chance and get it. I doubt you will be disappointed.
Pros:
Great Battery Life 24 hour of medium to heavy use with 8-10h LTE only consume 50% battery
Screen is nice
Android 7 (many custom rom if you dont like MIUI)
Looks expensive and feel expensive
PRICE
Cons:
Camera is what you pay for
Snapdragon 625 with Adreno 506 is below average for heavy gamer, great for normal usage
No quick charge, took around 2.45h to charge from 5% to 100%
Hard to get a good screen protector with the 2.5d screen

If you will choose between:
Redmi note 4
Nokia 5
Motorola moto g5
Sony Xperia l1
What you will choose?!
Don't forget Lenovo P2
After weeks of waiting and reviewing, reading and thinking, i finally put my money on Redmi Note 4.
Got the Black 64GB 4GB ram version
My reasons:
More than enough memory - Ram & Internal
Great build quality
Almost best Hardware to cost - value for money
Stable Rom build
****load of development in terms of ROM's & Kernels
2 yrs warranty from the supplier here - including screen and water damage
Im not a heavy gamer or a photo geek so dont really care for Gaming or low light photos. My Note 5 still takes gr8 images
Hence thats my Vote

Thanks to all of you guys
I really appreciated
Is redmi note 3 pro better for gaming than rn4?
It will give slightly more fps, but much worse battery life.
Sorry to jump in here, but i am also shopping for a new phone
I'm currently using huawei honor 5x, it was a great phone at a cheap price with plenty of XDA support
however, the honor 5x is starting to boggle down a bit on Nougat and i want to expand pass the 2gb RAM
The OnePlus 3T is what I really desire, but I can't pull the trigger with that price tag
I've been going back and forth between the Nexus 5x and Redmi Note 4X
the specs seem very respectable on the 4gb 64gb version and i'm having a hard time finding a better phone at this price point
with plenty of XDA support for this device, i'm starting to really lean towards this RN4x
They are both good phones, thing is you wont get new Nexus 5x only used or refurbished which often comes with poor exhausted batteries.
Also im not big fan of Snapdragon 808/810.. they heat up like crazy, which also results in poor battery life and thermal throttling.
I remember LG G Flex 2 i had back in the day with Snap 810, after gaming session i could probably use it as iron press.
me and a friend are set to go out at the end of this week to buy a new smartphone. I'm upgrading from a mid range clunker and his selling his Iphones and going Droid. I need the community help to decide which of these 2 we should go for. or at least I should go for since he is set on the 9+ more. there is no direct comparison between these 2 online so I'm still undecided.
here is my line of thought.
galaxy S9+ pros
1- awesome screen.
2- great audio and 3.5 jack.
3- beautiful phone eye catcher.
4- expandable storage ( not very important for me).
5- great low light Camera.
6- faster processing power ( exynos version the one I'm getting)
7- wireless charging.
8- status symbol, everyone knows galaxy when they see it, like iphones.
9- crisp mic quality.
10- great GPS.
galaxy S9+ cons
1- mediocre battery life.
2- costy more expensive than mate 10 pro.
3- slow charging compared to mate 10 pro.
4- battery might not retain it's capacity over time even though samsung caims so.
Mate 10 Pro, pros.
1-fast charging 1:30min to charge fully
2- costs 250$ less than galaxy s9+
3- great battery life.
4- comes with screen protector and case.
5- great GPS module.
Mate 10 pro cons
1- looks like any other phone
2- no status symbol, whats this phone: mate 10 pro, wut ?, it's huwaei, ah chinese phone u mean? :cyclops:
3- inferior screen.
4- horrible resale value.
what do you guys think? coming from asus zenfone max I greatly value battery life but this time I really want to buy the best and cry only once. processing power isn't really an issue for me since I don't game much. but since I'm a photographer who post on instagram frequently I value good camera.
any thoughts are appreciated.
I've had both. I had the Mate 10 standard first and did love it but couldn't deal with the adaptive brightness bug that randomly dimmed the screen despite auto brightness being turned off. I sold it at a rather large loss, a little over $200.
So far I'm really liking the S9+. The screen does look more saturated and colorful than the Mate 10 but the Mate 10 seemed sharper. I much prefer LCD over AMOLED, mostly do to the latter's issues with burn in and screen degradation. Mate 10 also seemed a little quicker.
My Mate 10 also had to have the International rom flashed as it never made it to the states, so there was little issues with that. The S9+ works better on US networks.
Battery life is better on the Mate 10 but the S9+ isn't a slouch, either. The camera is excellent on both but I don't use them enough to go into a detailed comparison.
Just for background information, these are the phones I had in the past 6 months: Mate 9 Pro, Pixel 2 XL, U11+, P20 Pro and S9+.
Taking this in mind, I can say that S9+ is the most balanced of them all, and overall the best device.
I can't say directly about Mate 10 Pro because I never had one, but I guess is pretty much the same as my Mate 9 Pro/P20 Pro I had, so I'm basing my comments on these experiences.
The cons you wrote about the S9+ are half truth:
* Battery is not mediocre as long as you know how to properly configure your device. I'm not getting less than 5-6 hours SOT over a day and a half; is true that Mate 10 Pro will have a better battery life, but from my experience, I never had more than 1 hour SOT difference between the S9+ and the Huawei ones.
* Is true that Mate 10 charges faster, but is a matter of 10-15 minutes difference at most. My S9+ charges fully in around 1:40.
* I would add as a con that S9+ has lower coverage and maybe this could turn into a problem if you live in a zone where there are not many antennas, thus it can impact battery life.
If you care about the camera, then go with the S9+, because Huawei phones have horrible video even when photo is pretty decent.
For me, the S9+ is the most rounded phone I have ever had and it has no real deal-breakers, like all the others I had.
S9+ is very well rounded device. I have both S9 and S9+, and I must say battery is very very good. I get on average 6-7 hrs sot and over a day usage on S9+ and my wife can go 2.5 days on a single charge on her S9 with 4-5 hrs sot. She not as heavy a user as me but def on the moderate to heavy usage side of things. She finishes with about 15% left, me about 11% battery left. Battery life is fantastic IMO.
thanks for your answer, it was very insightful, I didn't know about the burn in information before you comment, after looking this up it doesn't appear to be something I should be concerned about. also the mate 10 pro is listed as having a AMOLED display so the issue would be present in both I guess. I'm glad to see that the battery life of the S9+ is good.
thanks for sharing your experience, 6 hours of screen time is all I really need, the s9+ you have, is it exynos or Snapdragon ? 1:40m of charge time is actually quite decent, I placed my facts on numbers posted by people online, it seems that their S9+ charges in 2:30h. thanks to your comment I'm leaning more toward the S9+ more now.
galaxy S9+ pro? the S9+ is the ultimate eye candy, excellent battery life, sound is great now with dolby and never heard of the Mate 10 Pro.
I don't know what kind of moron is saying that the S9+ is charging in 2:30, but I always get it at 1:40 and most people get the same times.
Take a look at these:

I have Exynos version, but is supposed that Snapdragon is a little bit better regarding battery life. I'm happy with the device and so far I haven't had any problem with it.
your reply is very assuring. 6 SOT is more than I need actually. you guys actually have 2, so 2 testimonials, this is very assuring, thank you.
LMAO ur proving my point, my friend has a mate 9. in every social event. oh this boxy looking phone looks cool, what is it ?, it's Huwaei Mate 9. . . . . MMM wut?.... u know huwaei the company the make routers ....... oh really!? u mean the chinese company......... sigh yes... ah cool chinese phone, looks flashy
I think you get them from wish.com for $4-5.
Had the mate 10 pro, kept it for 3 months then sold it. Camera was truly VERY BAD...all due to oversharpening...everything looked like an oil painting.
Software updates were another big problem... 1 update every three months.
I found the screen perfectly fine...not as good as the S9 + though.... but you are paying top dollar for the s9+.
Sold mine for a big loss too.... price on these plummets... so don't expect to take a minor hit on any resale.
And.... Might not be of importance !!!.... but the mate 10 pro has the street cred of a 3 wheeled Robin Reliant (go look it up) !!!!
On the other hand...The S9+ takes great photos. Has frequent updates. Superb screen. Wireless charging. Fast fingerprint scanner.....you know which one I'm going to recommend !!!!
Hope this helps.
"3 wheeled Robin Reliant"!!!! the line of the month!!!
And yes the fingerprint scanner is very very good.

Guys I haven't had time to reply here since I went out me and my friend went out last Thursday and got 2 titanium gray s9 plus!.
There is a lot to be said but for now its suffice to say I love it! I'm blown by this amazing phone. My friend sold both his iphone 8 and iphone x and today he bought his second so plus, liliac purple. If u guys want to see pics of the phones check the post out out on @Headon_collision on Instagram. I'm still discovering the phone and I'll comment more in few days
Are you experiencing the low volome notification issues? Some users are saying they can barely hear the notification or had missed calls. Even though the volume was turned up all the way.
No such problem. Volume is good with everything. We are currently experiencing a heatwave 45c outdoors and I'm very impressed on how efficient the heat dissipation is on this device, indoors 30c ambient the cpu and battery are both 35c. Outdoors they both dont seems to go over 43c degrees in 40c ambient
@Galaxo60 - I've just got an SM-G965F - immediately had to flash another firmware to get VoWifi - what do you mean by properly configuring the device?
Just remove apps you don't use, and disable background activity of "Android System" and you will be good.
I came from the Mate 10 Pro, wasn't impressed with the camera
I've been always a Samsung Note user.
Since the first Note made by Samsung, I had most of the Notes. I basically like it's king-sized screen.
At the beginning, the Note was the smartphone with the biggest screen of all, so I bought it even though I didn't use the S-pen.
Lately I've been thinking on switching my Note 8 for the Samsung S10+ (similar screen size, but noticeable shorter and without s-pen (which I barely use), so I just went out there and bought the 1TB version.
Well, the word to describe my experience was: deception. I really didn't find any noticeable differences between the usage of the Note 8 and the S10+, other than cosmetical features. It makes sense as the Note 8 was (a couple of years ago) Samsung's flagship, so it should have enough processor power to still be a useable smartphone (as it is) nowadays.
I also thought
I didn't get the (what I call) 'WOW effect'. I only could appreciate the S10+'s performance running Antutu, where the S10+ of course almost doubled my Note 8 (31k points versus 16k I think).
The 'ultrasonic fingerprint reader' featured in the S10+ was convenient because it's located in the front screen (rather than the backside as is located in the note 8) but that was it. I didn't find it faster than the Note 8's fingerprint reader. I still find faster the Note 8's iris reader. I'm super-happy with the iris-reader as it can see even through my glasses and even mirrored sun-glasses.
I also thought that, with 1 terabyte of capacity, the S10+ could make longer super-slow motion videos, but no way. Just 2 seconds of super-slow-mo, just as the old Note 8.
So, in my opinion, the S10+ wasn't worth the thousand bucks I paid for, so as I had problems with the charger not functioning properly, and somehow disappointed by the lack of what I call 'WOW effect', I decided to return the phone and get a refund. I think I will wait to see the next Note 10...
Just wanted to share with you pals.
Hey, well I have both too, the exynos note 8 and snapdragon s10+, the only thing I love from the s10+ are the battery life, in my note 8 that has a 87% battery health lasts 4hrs sot and the s10+ gives me more than 6hrs sot. Other thing good is the selfie camera it looks great on the plus, the principal camera in my opinion looks very similar (I haven't tried yet the night mode). Besides those two things the note is really great. Heck is the phone I'm using right now.

Hey guys..
Where I'm based I can get a GT 2 Pro and S22 Plus for almost the same price, $45 difference. Which would be a better buy. I'm a bit conflicted cause I like a phone with good battery and amazing camera. The S22 Plus has much better camera and video in my opinion but the Realme has better battery life that can charge in half the time
No expandable memory in either and a camera that makes large files, perfect. 8gb of ram doesn't cut it, get 12. Don't forget the very useful spen with bt remote shutter release.
Personally I'm not impressed with either one.
I smashed up my 9 pro so while its off for repair i got a nord 2 and im not joking this phone is so much better. the dimensions are better, the 9 pro is too long and skinny. the flat display is 100x better, i told myself i would never get a curved display against after my samsung s6 edge but reviewers convinced me by saying the curves on the 9 pro where subtle, flat is so much better and curved displays shouldnt exist. it has the same battery capacity and charging speed. it has a 90hz refresh rate which to me is an upgrade as well it means less battery wasted and my 9 pro felt extremely stuttery because of its adaptive refresh rate each update is different, last update chrome was a stuttery disgrace. it has the same haptics, the same main sensor as far as i know but on that note i was never impressed with the 9 pro's camera, i took some pictures in pro mode which is supposed to have hasselblad colours 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254 and ive never seen grass look so fake and luminous green in my life. i took 1 indoor picture of my dog on the nord 2 and im convinced the 9 pro could have never taken such a picture, the photo processing seems way improved.
i cant fathom how this is 1/3rd of the price pretty much. i wont be getting a flagship oneplus again.
I'm sick of OPN2 , lack of updates for long , long time , poor technical support , awful MTK optimisation for sites and apks . Meantime I bought also Samsung A52s , totally disappointed again ... It has some hybrid hardware to minimize the manufacturer costs but a great support . Battery also better but.... I didn't liked both at all so for a couple weeks I bought Nothing Phone .
Nothing compares with it !
It's awesome !!!
