It probably would solve a lot of headaches in the future if the Redmi Note 3 with a Mediatek processor and the Redmi Note 3 Pro with a Snapdragon processor had each their own sections in the forum. The Pro has only recently been out and people are already asking in the different posts if the rom or advice works for the Mediatek or for the Snapdragon version. And since both SoC's are so different the ROM's will not be compatible, so I do not see the point of keeping them together other than to enjoy seeing the users confused.
Yeah i too agree. Even on miui website we dont have a separate thread
Agree MTK and SD have totally different ROMs

I Fully Agree.
MTK and SD have totally different ROMs
there has been lot of confusion for REDMI Note 3G and 4G(Dior)
a sharma
sharing is power
Agree, please add a seperated section
This must be addressed before further development
I agree, with some devices it doesn't matter much but the difference between the two chipsets is too big to have them in one section.
I'm agree too!
I second this opinion.
Iam agree with you
I'm agree too!
Does any one have solution to double tap screen wake up
I agree with the OP!
Will any moderator will listen to our request here?
we just recently got a section for redmi note 3 and i´m happy about it.most post are tagged by mediatek or PRO SD are sufficient to make difrence between them
At least two different sections like android one devices .... Like redmi note 3 mediatek and snapdragon so that we can directly search all related ROMs kernels easily
As the kernel source has been released, there will be more development works going around so its a request please provide separate forum for redmi note 3 snapdragon
Don't think it's going to happen, I guess the SD version will have more users, so I guess only those users will be more active

I'm agree too.
@admin please look into this matter.
please separate redmi note 3(Mediatek) and redmi note 3 pro (snapdragon ) with two differect sections.

Not promising anything but send me a PM detailing the scale of the problem.
Are users not labelling their ROMs properly to distinguish the two? If so give me some links.
Give me links to any problems that have arisen from any confsion that is around.

Should I purchase a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with Helio X20 MIUI 8 with Android 6 or a Redmi Note 3 pro with Snapdragon? Even if Xiaomi releases a Note 4 with Snapdragon is there much of a difference in the 4 to wait, by chance? Seeking opinions, if I am in the wrong forum please guide me, thanks.
Always choose for Snapdragon. By my own experience.
Only take a look to the Snapdragon v/s Mediatek version dev sub-forum....
the x20 is faster, but not by much. the sd650 is proven very battery efficient
i would go for the sd too
Redmi Note 3 Pro by a long way. Unless you are happy using MIUI then RN4 may be ok. I cannot stand MIUI. Personally if you could wait then wait for the Redmi 4. Its supposed to be 5" 1080p Snapdragon 625. I am waiting for it as the RN3 Pro is too big for my hands.

The Note 4 is said to be SD 652, though I heard people still prefer the 625 for the battery.
snapdragon. period.

Yup looks like it. Time to play the waiting game for hopefully an early Christmas present :good:
Xiaomi should compete against the Samsung A9 Pro for the next Redmi Note. That has a 6" screen, dual SIM and separate MicroSD slots (no hybrid slot nonsense), 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage.
A larger Redmi Note would be welcome, for me anyway, because a Mi Max is simply too big. I wouldn't get a Mediatek-based phone ever again after being stuck with KitKat on a Note 3G. Qualcomm are a lot more respectful of GPL issues. Anyway, I think the Helio X20 has too many small cores - these work well in benchmarks but they do nothing for real world usage.

If only Mediatek went open-source, there's a guide for the Interactive governor that will fully utilise all those cores. It'll be interesting to see how they can be tweaked to increase an already large battery life.

This is a developer forum, not a marketplace. You can poach customers somewhere else.
Helio X20 have a little better performance in CPU and Adreno 510 burns Mali-T880 MP4 in Helio X20 and even X25.
Helio X20 CPU is 4+4+2. More like Snapdragon 615 with 2 high performance core from 650. But since XDA having far better support for Snapdragon.
If you want a better performance, go for Note 3 Snapdragon.
I'm predicting Note 4 Snapdragon will use Snapdragon 652/653 with 2/3GB Variant and a special edition with 4GB RAM will wreck any mid-range smartphone.

Hi guys! I've been following your work since I got an old Moto Defy+ like... a gazillion years ago. I'm a big fan of the forum.
I've been rocking a basic Redmi 3 (non-Note) and it works great for the most part. But I'm seeing a lack of developing for it, like I appreciate the work of Anik and everything but apparently many people have choose the Note variant instead the barebones Redmi 3. So much is that, it apparently the Note 3 has recently received official CyanogenMod (correct me if I'm wrong).
So, the question: while I love my current Redmi 3, I'm quite excited to get a new phone before Christmas. I'm no a millionaire so no iPhone or Galaxy S7 Edge for me (nor even a Mi Mix, god I love that phone) so the options are:
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Global version, B4, B37 bands enabled)
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 4
The Note 3 seems to have ginormous support here in the forums and that's a huge plus, also the fact that comes with LTE B4, meaning I'll get full 4G coverage in my country and basically anywhere. Nevertheless, I'm afraid when
What do you think? If I buy a Redmi Note 3 NOW do I have any chance to have CM support for let's say 10 months/a year. I know it's all speculation but since many devs read the forums maybe they can give me hint. Also, whath's really the difference between the Note 3 and 4, apart from materials and the CPU they look the same.
Many many thanks!
The difference is very small, the note 4 is little more powerful, but if you want cm at this time buy note 3 , if you want see to future buy note 4
Snapdragon CPU have better future, at least in term of devs.
3d performance of RMN4 is worse than RMN3[SD] btw.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ4rQ_VTrck
definetely redmi note 3...better dev support is everything for me & i love the support for this phone.
mtk device from xiaomi is a big no for me since my previous device is redmi note 2 and the support is very poor because we didn't have any source to build stable custom rom. xiaomi never released they source for mtk device.
Thanks guys! CM support is a huge advantage for me and while I love my current Redmi 3 it seems no many people develop for it.
This morning I bought a Note 3 Pro International Version (B4 and B28 LTE bands yahoo!). Waiting for its arrive.
BTW, GearBest, Aliexpress, DX are all having a sale day (I'm not affiliated in any form to those sites, just saying so you know).

I did not see that video and in no way I was expecting that kind of defeat by the RN3 against the 4. It literally obliterated it.
Sure, in math calculation is faster because it has 10 cores but man... That was criminal. Even happier now that I saw this! Thanks.
i own a redmi note 4x and since i couldn't find any specific section under that device's name in XDA, i will just post my query here in Redmi note 4 section.
I want to know whether android nougat is available for redmi note 4x as my one is currently on marshmallow.
If yes then someone please put me through the steps of how to update my device manually as there are no OTA updates available at the moment.
and also one more thing..in all the benchmark apps and also in my device's info section, the device is marked as redmi note 4 instead of redmi note 4x. But all the physical redmi 4x traits are there in my device as there are no screws beside the micro usb port, the Snapdragon 625 is present, the notification light is on the left of the speaker and the IR blaster is not in the middle, it is on the right side at the top of the device. Can anyone clarify why this might be the case?
Thank you!

No, nougat isn't available as of yet. It is however available as a developer build which you can flash through the inbuilt updater app but I would recommend against it as it does not add anything useful to the device and for flashing it you have to find the right version (something like x. x.16 or something) otherwise it just won't work.
Also the redmi note 4x is the snapdragon variant, in the Indian market, the same device (snapdragon) is branded simply as redmi note 4 without the x. If you have any more queries hit me up!

Actually reading through your op again, the phone is marketed as the redmi note 4x in the Chinese markets to distinguish the mtk and snapdragon variants.

Yes, they are the same exact devices. All the roms for the redmi note 4 would work perfectly fine on your redmi note 4x. You have nothing to worry about. Happy flashing!
PS - I'd recommend checking out the aosp extended rom for your first one if you are going to flash.

Okay so I'm looking into buying my next smartphone and it is most likely going to be the Xiaomi Redmi note 4x, my question is that if i do end up buying this device, would the roms and recoveries from the note 4 with the snapdragon 625 work on the 4x or would O have to specifically look for recovery and rom for 4x because xda does not have a seperate device listed as the note 4x, thanks, also I'm really sorry if there has already been a similar thread which answers this question but i didnt find one that quite answers this.

You don't have to worry if you get the snapdragon variant of Redmi Note 4/4x, Roms are compatible.
Oh okay, thanks so much
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.
