Hi All,
I'm trying to find a replacement screen for my Redmi Note 4 international/global version.
I can't seem to find one and was thinking maybe the screen from the redmi note 4x would fit.
I know the screen is the same size and the holes for speaker camera and proximity sensor are in the same place.
Has anyone tried this already or does anyone know for sure if it would work?
Maybe there is a critical difference in the two screens that I am unaware of?
Thanks on advance for any help or replies.
Same issue here. Broke my Redmi Note 4's screen and can't seem to find one anywhere (for the Global version). Please someone respond. >.<

Thanks man! I did a little research myself and found that the global version of Note 4 has the same screen that's on the Note 4X. I ordered one from AliExpress for $26.
EDIT: Just saw you had asked the same thing in the actual question. The answer is yes. According to my research, it has the same screen. Found a video on Youtube that says the same, check it out Here.

Good to know that both screens are the same. There is a huge difference in price for the screen of the global version and the screen of the note 4x.
I hope this thread helps someone else in the same situation as we both were.
Unfortunately i paid double what you paid for the note 4x screen even though my suspicions were that the two screens were the same.
Hi Mahad,
I ordered this and the screen size is only 5 inches across and so appears small,
the screen size should be 5.5 inches, so can you please confirm if these come in bigger
sizes for the redmi note 4 international 4gb version listed below:

There is a redmi 4x which is a 5" device and a redmi note 4x which is the 5.5" device. It is the redmi note 4x screen which mahad used.
Unfortunately It looks like you ordered the wrong screen hopefully you can return or exchange it.

Yes you can replace the screen with Redmi Note 4x's screen. I've posted video proof as well earlier in this thread.
Guys, I am reviving this thread sorry about that. Is the screen of 3/32GB and 4/64GB redmi note 4 global (4x) the same, or are they different models? No seller in aliexpress seems to be providing the 4/64 version from what I can see.
On Aliexpress is available .
i already order for me.

Hello there, can you please give me an update on the quality of the screen replacement that you got?
How was it?
Are you satisfied with it?
hye guys.which one would u guys suggest? with frame or without frame screen replacement?
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.

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

Stupid Xiaomi doing it again releasing the same model with different hardware. As if their naming sense wasn't confusing enough.
It's nearly Christmas and I'm looking for a gift for my mum. For the past 4 years she's been using a Samsung Galaxy s3 and has been reluctant to upgrade, though at this point it's become so temperamental that Santa's gonna put his foot down and get her a new phone
I love my pocophone, she loves the photos I take with it and I've got a chunk of cash burning a hole in my pocket. I've seen the 128 gb version new for €240 which seems a no brainer
MIUI is no harder to use than the antiquated junk on her s3 and she'll love the 2 day battery life
My question to you good people is:
I haven't been watching the other phones on the market. Is there anything that competes seriously in the same price range? I'd rather not get her anything second hand as Santa still doesn't recycle, surprisingly enough
Thanks for any suggestions
I was hoping for the note 10 / cc9 pro but I'd say other than the camera it is worse and costs 450€, like wtf. The only thing which the poco is lacking in my opinion is nfc. If she is not going to use it she'll be perfectly fine with the phone. Ah and ghost touches. Lets hope that there are no fts panels around anymore or whatever the reason for that is.
I would say the Poco F1 might be overkill. Go checkout the Redmi Note 7 or Redmi Note 8 plenty fast and also very good camera. Might be a bit cheaper and will work just as good.

I miss NFC too, but mum wouldn't know what to do with it! Agreed about the note 10. Wondered about getting her a Redmi Note 8, but I gather the camera lets it down

Perhaps you're right - any opinions of the camera?

If she has an S3 now she will be over the moon with the Redmi Note 7 or 8 camera, my colleague was really happy with the pictures. A serious advantage over the S3 in darker wintertime etc. Also the speed of the camera is a lot faster. You can also install Gcam on them without rooting or modding them which is also great if you want to get her into photography.
When it comes down to battery life, yup, both phones are really amazing.
I also own a Redmi Note 5 pro and to be honest and fair, the processor in the Poco F1 is overkill for what I do. The Redmi Note 5 already handles everything more than fast enough without any waiting. Click and it's there, no frustration or lag. The 7 and 8 even have faster cpu's so no worries on that front.
Just some advice if you buy for your mother (my mother has a Redmi Note 5 pro also, guess how that happened ). What I did was order a glass screen protector and some cases. I guess for 20 euro on Aliexpress you are more than settled. Giving her the phone is really nice but giving it completely protected and usable is a must and she will really like that.
Redmi Note 8 pro or Mi 9 lite
I followed the above recommendations and bought a Redmi note 8
It arrived this week
It's great! She's gonna love it!
(Unfortunately I got it from an AliExpress seller meaning I was hit for another chunk of vat - should have bought it from eglobalcentral where I got my f1; they ship from within the eu)
Thanks for the advice peeps!
Interesting to note the feel of it - felt at least as well put together as my pocophone. Obviously a tiny bit of lag noticeable here and there, but it was minimal - though I saved it the burden of trying PUBG on it!
fones €240
Realme note 5 pro
Nokia 6.x

xiaomi A3 (but ram is only 4gb , however xiaomi Cc9e chinese version has 6gb, camera result is not so good)

and ofcourse
Galaxy M30 ! (or if you can go €300) (m30s 6/128 variant is something you should seriously check out)
Go with Redmi Note 8 Pro
As i strongly believe she doesn't require anything like Snapdragon 845

A major factor when I was thinking about the same was the OS.
I had used MIUI, Stock OS and ColorOS, all three have their pros and cons.
But I knew no matter what I will pick Android One device as I like the clutter-free and clean UI.
Surely Realme 5 Pro and Mi A3 4/64 are of the same price where Realme 5 Pro gives better performance but you need to think of your Priorities.
I picked Mi A3 because:
Android One (MAJOR FACTOR)
One Hand Phone
Lighter weight
If any of the above isn't your top picks go for Realme 5 Pro.
How's ColorOS compared to MIUI/EMUI and stock Android? Realme phones aren't available in my country, so can't check them in person.
Redmi 5 pro: better processor, 400ppi screen vs 280ppi, bigger screen without being that much heavier. I've compared the A3 with a 6.4" screen and that bit of extra real estate does make the other phone feel a lot bigger
A3: OLED screen and stock Android. Of course you may not necessarily like the OLED screen because of over saturated colors, lower brightness. And maybe color os has features you like the stock Android doesn't.

I'm not familiar with ColorOS but the MIUI on my Redmi Note 4X was great even in beta versions. Nice OS for multitasking and I think that pure google OS on MI A3 is even better. I have bad experience with buggy crappy software on Blackview, Leagoo devices and i'm afraid ColorOS will be the same.

Redmi 5 pro: better processor, 400ppi screen vs 280ppi, bigger screen without being that much heavier. I've compared the A3 with a 6.4" screen and that bit of extra real estate does make the other phone feel a lot bigger
A3: OLED screen and stock Android. Of course you may not necessarily like the OLED screen because of over saturated colors, lower brightness. And maybe color os has features you like the stock Android doesn't.

Snapdragon 712 and much better full hd display, macro vs 665 and HD+ Amoled, 32mp samsung front camera and IR blaster.
ColorOS vs Pure Stock Android
I don't even know. If the ColorOS software and custom rom development is bad, i don't think that good hardware can help.
