Please make this thread big, to show Xiaomi, what we think about MediaTek.
Will you buy the Redmi Note 4 or will you wait for a Snapdragon version of the Note 4?
The last information, from a insider, is "no Snapdragon Version for Note 4 but maybe for the Redmi Pro".
1. No, will buy the MediaTek version
2. Wait for Snapdragon version (will not buy MediaTek version)
3. Redmi Pro with Snapdragon? So I will buy this one!
Please choose...
I will not buy MediaTek device. The reason is the GPU, which is really poor on MediaTek, like on Kirin (Huawei) and Quick Charge 3.0 is one of the best things today.
I'll get the RN 4 Pro with Snapdragon. More RAM and space is always welcome
Also waiting on Redmi Note 4 with Snapdragon and Special Edition Taiwanese version for International users.

Xiaomi need Snapdragon for India market and B20 FDD-LTE for Taiwan. A combination of both [emoji108]
Why don't you make a poll, rather than answering in the thread. That would show the stats,

Also bought the Mtk 3/64, and honestly...haven't got any issues with it. For this kind of money, the phone is fast, responsive, battery life could be better and the auto light adjustment could be improved. Other than that and the fact that i have the Chinese ROM (grrr...) this device is pretty much a straight you pay - you get.
If you don't care about hardware power, yoi can go with the MediaTek version but the Snapdragon version will get much better GPU, battery life and sensors.
The Note 3 Pro sell in India over 2,3 million times.
Edit with poll please, can you?
And anyway, I heard from some article. Redmi Note 4 Pro will use Snapdragon 653 instead of 652.
And I hope this rumor is true though.

The Redmi Note 4 MTK edition is also International, it does have MIUI GLobal
Have a look at the phone: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 MIUI Global and the latest available global rom: Global Stable Rom for Redmi Note 4
To be international it needs to have these bands.
4G FDD LTE B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28/ ( 2100/1900/ 1800/ 1700/ 850/ 2600/ 900/ 800/ 700MHz); TD-LTE B40 (2300MHZ)

i keep looking at the Xiaomi phones but will i decide which one to get (RN3pro/RN4) more keep getting released all the time. Redmi Note 4 with snap dragon would be AWESOME and make my decision so much easier!
Was about to buy a Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo) but just wanted to double-check and was wondering if there are any better alternatives for the price-point of the Redmi ($230 AUD for me or $170 USD for others)

My friends are currently searching for a good device at this price point and note 3 pro still seems to be the best option.

Yes, even after 7 months of the release of RN3 Kenzo, it's still the best phone in the market. I think, this isn't going to change anytime soon. Go for it.

Yes it's currently the best phone under $390 (because over is OP3 and ZTE Axon 7 territory). Keep in mind that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Pro is right around the corner since the Redmi Note 4 was released Aug 28. I probably couldn't wait another month and a half tho personally lol.
It's one of the few phones that can run for 10 hours non stop and still deliver decent performance. I wouldn't touch another Mediatek phone with a very long pole because of open source code release issues and the lack of third party ROMs.
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.

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.

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.

Stupid Xiaomi doing it again releasing the same model with different hardware. As if their naming sense wasn't confusing enough.
My retailer has about 3 days to complete my RMA,after that I will get my money back. Unfortunately, Redmi Note 3 Kenzos are not on sale anymore so I was looking towards and alternative. And Xiaomis Redmi 4 lineup is confusing as hell. I tried looking with help of Xiaomi.eu device list,but I´m still not sure. I would like to get a phone with good XDA support but have an option of MIUI9 on Android 7.0 (Mainly Splitscreen mode)

If my Note 3 Pro isnt in this town on Thursday (in my country, Retailers have 30 days for RMA including holidays and such,quite nice), I will try to get my money back and get 32GB version of Note 4 (Mido). I really do not need 64gig model,since I have 32GB SD card for ROMs and music.

Ah, yeah. Xiaomi's naming scheme completely sucks!
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x considered as Mido on their website, you've to DL note 4x's EU rom, it'll works for any snapdragon 625 powered Mido, doesn't matter whatever they call it. Ie; in India they sold snapdragon variant of Redmi-note-4 as redmi-note-4 only whereas redmi note 4X on most of the places.
Don't worry, just dont get confused, get the Redmi note 4 /4x which ships with Snapdragon 625 in it, good to go. And yeah, it has storage expansion too.
So Redmi Note 4 with S625 is Mido.. Confusing as hell. Different market,different naming.. Not surprised retailers are confused. I was originaly thinking about 5.2inch Redmi 4,but after seeing how little is community working on it,I will have to live with that giant 5.5inch display.

Hi,just one more thing. Were you able to find tempered glass screen protector that would fit? Note 4 has (unfortunately) 2.5D glass. At first I was hoping a Note 3 screen protector I have extra would fit,but now I´m really not sure.
Now I´m confused even more. What is Note 4x? Is it Mido as well? I havent found anything about it on Xiaomi.eu phone list. XDA also does not list that phone. Is it Mido as well? I dont want to end up with wrong phone since Czech Resellers are confused as well.

If it has a Snapdragon 625, then it is Mido. My phone is a Note 4X, with SD625. Mido ROMs are perfectly fine on it. Just make sure that it does not have a Mediatek chipset, and you will be fine.
So Chinese version (with "Global"/ EU LTE) is Note 4 and Indian version is 4X? I cant even buy Mediatek version (fortunately) in my country. I´m asking mainly because some sellers on Aliexpress are warning that screen protectors for 4X wont fit 4 etc. Thanks guys! Lets hope I can get my Note 4 in few days.

Ah man... Lemme make this very clear!
Indian version of Redmi-note-4 is of Snapdragon variant (SD 625) and Xiaomi called it ad redmi note 4 only!
Indian variant of Redmi-note-4 is nothing but Xiaomi's all Snapdragon versions of Redmi-note-4/4x with Snapdragon Soc, except some bands / hardware things. You can install redmi note 4 (SD 625) Roms on any Xiaomi's redmi note 4 / 4x variant if it is of Snapdragon 625 soc. (I'm not writing about Chinese variant of Redmi-note-4x here)
All I can say is, don't get confused, just get the one with Snapdragon 625 on it, you're good to go.

When you get yours, you will see where your screen protector needs to have all its perforations. I have not found it difficult to get tempered glass screen protectors for my 4X (from ebay).

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

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.

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.
