When will Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 launch in India?
Will it launch with a Qualcomm CPU as opposed to the Mediatek CPU found in the Chinese model?
I am interested in buying this phone when it launches in India and with a Qualcomm CPU.
If it launches with Mediatek CPU, I ain't buying it..
"Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with Snapdragon 625 coming to India in January"
Xiaomi is only allowed to sell Qualcomm products in India according to a source i found; when i was looking on why Xiaomi was banned from selling MediaTek based products (has to do with patents violations).
I want to know, i have a redmi note 4 mediatek. In india it'll be launched with quallcomm. If in the future there are custom roms for the quallcomm model, can i flash it on the mediatek model? Or will i need different roms? Cause if it ain't the same rom i'm going to sell mine

You can't flash roms that were made for the SD version of the phone on the Mediatek version unless you want to brick your device and currently there is no SD version of this phone anyway.

Xiaomi Note 4 (Snap 625) and Redmi Note 4x (Snap 625) is same phone, codename = mido. Just different baseband (different frequencies, so buy for your region)
Note 4x & note 4 same specs only differs in LTE band. So any ROM for both phone will work sametime.♣

Doesn't matter, the custom roms runs on all the variants you've mentioned, but it's better to get an 4/64gb SD variant, Cuz MOAR storage.
If you're from India then it's redmi note 4, otherwise its 4X.
I am from Singapore. oh I see, as long as its snapdragon 625, the custom kernel /rom support would be good? I was worried that there are many different models like my old Samsung note 4(910g,910f,910w,910wg and etc and etc)

Hi, i have one Redmi Note 4 Global 4GB/64GB Snapdragon 625 and i would like to know where can i find replacement parts for this version. I need USB Port and complete LCD.
Thanks for the help.
Hi, i need your wisdom, i bought this for G, on my invoice it says XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4X, but in the About menu it XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4, and them i look that rom on the internet and says again XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4X.
I want to flash this bad buy but i not sure what rom i need, note 4 or note 4x
Install any phone info app from play store which can tell you device information.
redmi note 4 have android 6.0
You have 7.0
So.. yes you have XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4X, but "x" in some country not exist.
example:
In Poland you can't buy Xiaomi redmi note 4 (mediatek), you can only buy Xiaomi redmi note 4X
and for them XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4X is this same XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4, because they have only one version.
Idk if you understand me
That's the Global Version of the Redmi Note 4X, which it's the variant with Snapdragon processor. The only difference is the ROM that you're using and has more worldwide bands available.

It's not ROM, it's hardware. ROM's for RN4 Global and RN4x are the same.
Dear All I have a choice between these 2 but have completely no idea whats the difference. They both have Snapdragon 625 and 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM is there any other difference? like camera lens or maybe quality of the RAM?
thanks for help
There is no such phone as Xiaomi Note 4 DS or Xiaomi Note 4 PRO.
There is Redmi Note 4, Redmi Note 4 Global and Redmi Note 4x.
Variant with Snapdragon 625 SoC = codename Mido, and variant with Mediatek Helio SoC = codename Nikel.
There aren't any big differences between them, what camera sensor, screen and fingerprint manufacturer you get is completely random, homever if you need Band 20 LTE you should buy Redmi Note 4 Global, because Redmi Note 4x is missing this band.
You should buy model with Snapdragon 625 SoC, overall it's far superior. (amazing support on XDA, no overheating, much better battery life compared to Mediatek)
actually its nice that you are from Poland because Im too and below you will find some links to polish shoe at which they offer these under those names

You want the one from first link then, it supports LTE 800MHz which means it's Redmi Note 4 Global, and since you are from Poland you need this LTE band.
Hi,.
I own a redmi note 5 and naturally I go to thread redmi note 5 / 5 plus. But I notice the code name doesn't match.
Now I confused, should I go to redmi note 5 pro??
If I'm not mistaken my note 5 is code name are Why red right?
But why two same thread on xda redmi note 5?
And what the sidéré ce between note 5 and 5 pro?!
PLS HELP, THX
EDIT : NOTE PRO HAVE 625 SNAPDRAGON AND MISSING 4G BANDWICH I THINK
Redmi 5 plus code name Vince had 625
Redmi note 5 / pro has 636
Redmi 5 Plus and Redmi Note 5 are basically same devices, maybe some difference in the bands, both have a processor SD625, R5+ called too R5P has a codename Vince and RN5 has a codename Whyred and was manufacturer for selling in India.
Redmi Note 5 Pro has processor SD636 and has many improvements comparing the other two.

Redmi Note 5 is the same (not exactly) device than Redmi 5 Plus except for the bands enabled.
This device was made it for India to implement these required bands for this country, for this reason not being an exact same it has other codename that is Whyred.

Indian Redmi Note 5 is vince. Whyred is separate device. Whyred is sold in India as Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Redmi 5 Plus (China/Singapore/Pakistan etc) -> Redmi Note 5 (India etc) -> SD 625, single back camera -> code name "vince"
Redmi Note 5 (China/Singapore/Pakistan etc) -> Redmi Note 5 Pro (India etc) -> SD 636, dual back camera -> code name "whyred"
Fastest way to check which phone you have if your phone is named Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi Note 5 or Redmi Note 5 Pro is to check how many back cameras it have. If you have single back camera it is vince, if you have two back cameras it is whyred
As for bands supported all of these support 4G LTE but I'm not sure which bands each supports. There is variation in bands supported between different variants of vince itself. There are also different variants of whyred that support different bands.

The device with codename whyred is a completely separate device. Indian Redmi Note 5 is in fact almost the same phone as Redmi 5 Plus and its codename is also vince.
Indian Redmi Note 5 is not whyred.

I´m sure about my model, I have the first batch bought in pre-sale manufactured initially only for China. . OP asked for.
Your summary is correct but it´s needed some clarification,
If we take in account some background they´re and they´re not same device apparently (due to how they´re called depending from the region) so is precise to clarify this "error" from Xiaomi.
There is some confussion maybe due some effects caused by the globalization so after of my model that I own (chinese version) Xiaomi had release the international version (with international firmware) and thirdly released other version that is the Global version adding two bands; 4 and 20 (of course all of budget devices manufactured in 2018 comes with 4G, it´s imposible to imagine a device running only 3G actually atleast for this spectrum) for this reason it´s opened a same forum for these devices that is this.
The sequence of the last stated is as follows:
- Redmi 5 Plus with chinese firmware.
- Redmi 5 Plus with international firmware
- Redmi 5 Plus with two bands added (Global version) known as Redmi Note 5 in India, etc.
These three mentioned are the same like I said before with probably the unique difference that the third; Redmi Note 5 is a Global with more bands.
This is the reference: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_(redmi_5_plus)-8959.php so the members that opened this thread are in the correct otherway they would be wrong calling to this forum with that tittle.
Then it is the Redmi Note 5 (What? It´s not the same that the third mentioned? here´s the confussion, Xiaomi calls to this last device that was manufactured initially for India (of course maybe other neighbors countries may benefit) Redmi Note 5 but known in India like Redmi Note 5 Pro and distributed officially with this name.
This is the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redmi_Note_5
Then to have more clear this is the easy summary:
1- Redmi 5 Plus (both chinese + international firmware)
2- Redmi 5 Plus (Global version with 2 bands added) This launched as Redmi Note 5 in India and of course sold for all around the world due to globalization.
3- Redmi Note 5 (Launched with this name in China but released in India as Redmi Note 5 Pro)
For this reason if I buy from China it´s known as Redmi Note 5

but it´s different respect to our RN5 or R5P (R5+)
This is some reference: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-kernel-source-code-android-nougat-release/ see in the third paragraph.
The 2 first versions mentioned have the same specs and they are identical devices
(why 2 and not 3?) Both mentioned in the item 1 only have different firmware pre-charged but they have identical specs (SD625) and they are the same device and both have codename vince and the mentioned in the item 2 although it´s not an identical device (but virtually the same) also has the same processor SD625 and it too receives the same codename vince.
The mentioned in the item 3 has other processor (camera is a good detail at quick glance) this is the SD636 codename whyred.
How someone can distinguish the Redmi Note 5 (Global version of R5P or R5+) between the Redmi Note 5 also known like Redmi Note 5 Pro? well, for this reason Xiaomi is rebranding Redmi 5 Plus all versions to Redmi Note 5 and the version specially made it for India Redmi Note 5 to Redmi Note 5 Pro to avoid more confussions.
So finally we will have officially only these two variants (although some seller or people continues call them like they want)
1 - Redmi Note 5 - codename: vince (Redmi 5 Plus-both firmwares- and Redmi 5 Plus Global with 2 bands added).
2.- Redmi Note 5 Pro - codename: whyred.
I hope that this finally has been clarified.

I never doubted anything you had to say about the Redmi 5 Plus and its bands. I'm sure you know much more about the different variants than me. This post was quite clarifying. But in your previous post I got the wrong impression as if you meant that the device being sold in India as the Redmi Note 5 has a codename of whyred. You didnt mean that but that was what I inferred from that post. So I wanted to clarify that though whyred is the Redmi Note 5 in China and other markets in India it is sold as Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Redmi 5 Plus is sold as Redmi Note 5 in India. And by saying that they are same devices I meant mostly similiar and for most purposes they are as in you can use the same recoverys and ROMs. Thankyou for your post as after the mess that Xiaomi has created in naming these devices it helped me alot in understanding.
Plus my post was really simplified for people who wanted to know which device they have to know which ROM to flash as I have seen many such people in the forums so I wrote that as simple as possible.

Oh welcome, Your summary is very clear. The error comes from Xiaomi.
A device can receive other name if it is for other country due most of times to bands added but for me is incorrect to call a device the same name for a country (Redmi Note 5 in China instead of Redmi Note 5 Pro) and the same name for other country but for other device (Redmi Note 5 in India but instead of Redmi Note 5 Plus Global).
I read that this problem with nomenclatures will be solved.

That is exactly the problem that they are selling two different devices with the same name in different markets. And both devices have a separate name as well. Hope it is solved soon. :good:
