RN3 Pro or RN4 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

I need help deciding should I buy Redmi Note 3 pro 3 Gb version or Redmi Note 4?

RN3 Pro

Key bit is make sure you buy the Snapdragon version of either.
Will have more support here and in other places.
There is now a Redmi note 4 with band 20 (great for the UK) now available.
That has a slower processor than the 3 but still will be very good.
Also make sure you get as much ram as possible. Miui with its pluses and minuses is a resource hogger so more ram the better.

I own both,
RN3 Pro for gaming performance, More Custom ROMs/MODs/Tweaks, Compatible with cheap tempered glass
RN4 (SD) for camera and more battery life

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

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.

How is this compared to nexus 5?

I am on a nexus 5, fed up with slow Oreo and low battery and no Volte. How is this device comaped to N5? I will use a custom ROM like PE or LOS, so how is
1)Camera
2) Battery
3) Performance
Compared to nexus 5?
Did anyone updgrade from nexus 5? What is your opinion?
I am eyeing this device since it has official LOS.
Also, is there much difference while playing a game or casual use between SD800,625? Unable to decide between Lenovo Z2 plus and this device.
I will be getting the Snapdragon variant in my market

SD800 is slightly faster looking purely at performance but it heats up pretty quickly and is not very battery efficient (28nm. manufacturing process)
SD625 is amazing when it comes to battery because it's 14nm manufacturing process so the heat is much lower, it's incredibly power efficient and consumes way less battery and generally does not overheat.. it scores about 15k lower in Antutu which is still pretty good.
Camera in Redmi Note 4 is mediocre, Nexus 5 wins here.. especially stock. Homever there are camera mods which help to increase quality, like ported Google Cam with working HDR+.
Battery Redmi Note 4 will destroy Nexus 5, you will be getting atleast twice better battery life compared between the 2. (like i mentioned earlier it's due to the super power efficient SD625 and 14nm manufacturing process but also pretty big battery - 4100mAh)
Edit:
In thread title you are talking about Nexus 5 but in post you are talking about Lenovo Z2 Plus.. make up your mind, and yeah Lenovo Z2 Plus is much better than both Nexus 5 and Redmi Note 4.

It's decent but only in day light, night and low light pics are pretty bad, same goes for videos which additionally have some issues with LOUD sound, like in concerts. Just Google it, you should find samples easily.
Generally if you use camera alot I would not recommend Redmi Note 4.

Nexus 5 has a pretty bad camera too?. If it at par with nexus 5 , great! Else , bummer...
Hi, I have both. I actually upgraded from Nexus 5 (still have it, but with cracked sceen). The battery life can not be compared as the Nexus has very bad and the Note 4 has excellent. The camera middle range both (for me enough). My Note has 4G RAM, so the performance is better (newer phone anyway). The screen is also same category. The grip of the Nexus is way much better, than the very slippery Xiao. I really like my Nexus, that´s why I have it for like 3,5 years already, but dated a bit. The Note is 1 month old and I´m satisfied with it.
Sorry for the bad quality pic, but if you wanna compare the size it´s ok. The Note is somewhat larger and heavier.

You ever used moto g5 plus or Zuk Z2?
I had Nexus 5,Galaxy S6, HTC 10, Axon 7, Huawei P9 and now I "downgraded" to a Redmi Note 4 .
Battery life is awesome. I trip alot and I'm the only one in my group that dosen't carry a battery pack.
Performance is awesome. Yes,for like 15-20 minutes any Snapdragon 805+(805,810,808,820) is faster but the Snapdragon 625 dosen't throttle. In games it's solid as a rock. It's a little laggy in facebook but I don't mind.
Camera is ok. I have a Redmi Note 4 with a Samsung sensor. I have a pretty expansive DSLR if I want more but I never need more in a normal day. The dual flash is strong.
Screen is pretty meh. I have a Tianma pannel and after 4 months of usage I have 6-7 stuck pixels . I don't really mind as I don't really see them in day to day basis . It's not a great screen it's not a bad screen.
I'd buy the Note 4 if I were you.
I wouldn't buy a G5 plus if I were you. Moto delivered it with a 32 bit ROM. Yeah,you'll find 64bit ROMs on XDA but it's laggy,buggy and it will be for a while.

Used zuk z2 plus and redmi note 4 both... Zuk z2 heats too much.. Their ui is not good and battery life also low.... Go for redmi note 4
Either way, you'll be disappointed at some point. Nexus is nexus, nothing can replace that. You will be amazed with battery life but that's pretty much only thing this phone gives. I hate this phone , crappiest phone I've ever had. Run away from Chinese phones.

Battery life is awesome. The camera is mediocre (with Samsung or Sony sensor). With Omnivision sensor, the camera can be quite poor. If you are really into great photography, this is not the phone for you.

Mi 8 lite vs Redmi Note 6 pro

Hey guys, im looking for opinions so i can make my mind of which one buy.
I would like to know what made you buy the mi 8 lite and how been working for you? Any opinion will be appreciated.
Also do you think that will have support in the future of more development teams (for roms, mods, etc)?
Well. Redmi Note sells way more than Mi 8 Lite. We expect more development there.
But you know, 8 Lite is faster, has USB type-C, good size and weight, better little notch, less rounded corners, it's more premium, has better cameras
Redmi Note 6 Pro has better battery life, 3.5mm jack, more development and it's cheaper.

Now that you guys have had the device for some time, do you regret buying it?

I'm not sure whether to buy it or buy the realme6 or the samsung A51
I don't regret getting this device
I like the performance,screen,battery,camera
This phone is great for the price
Only thing I didn't really liked is miui cause it felt like the battery was draining more than it should but I tried a couple of custom ROMs and now running evolution x & so far I love it!
I'd say if you got money to spend you can always get the latest & greatest flagship or whatever
But if you're looking for a good priced phone with 2020 standards than the note 9s is perfect

Coming from Galaxy Note 10 Lite this phone is just better in every way except camera software. I can't believe how good it is. I only had mine for a couple of weeks but I'm more than impressed.
0 regret, I wanted a big screen, it's big and I have 0 ghosting/leaking issue, better screen in that regard than redmi note 7 imo.
Battery life is massive, camera is ok not great (don't care)
Custom ROMs are already quite good, a few last things to fix like no notification led and they'll be perfect
Love this device, its perfect, no regrets at all
Compared to Realme 6
Front Glass - Gorilla Glass 5 vs Gorilla Glass 3
Back - Gorilla Glass 5 vs Plastic
Screen size 6.67 vs 6.5
Processor Qualcomm SM7125 Snapdragon 720G (8 nm) vs Mediatek MT6785 Helio G90T (12 nm)
Selfie camera f/2.5, (wide) [email protected]/120fps vs f/2.0, 26mm (wide) [email protected]
Battery 5020 mAh vs 4300 mAh
Fast charging 33W vs 30W
Infrared Yes vs No
I don't think Realme 6 is worth it mainly because of the Processor, Snapdragon is durable and firmware can be easily modified as compared to Mediatek processors
A51 features are way too outdated and I don't think there should be a comparison, apart from that Samsung software is always full of bugs, unlike MIUI that is the best android around
"MIUI is the best android"...well...as long as you don't need wifi that is reliable and where you can trust that you'll receive your notifications also when display is off... ?
No regrets at all in fact I am really happy with it. I used this device more than three months now and all are working perfectly fine since the first day I bought it. I don't have any issue with WiFi and yes I already check my router logs every two or three times a day, for about three days and all are fine no errors or something like that. I can receive emails, whatsapp etc without any delays. No problem with call dropping and no screen bleeding issue. BTW mine is Malaysia official set.
Same for me in Italy, i have the global version

Note 9 pro or Pro Max?

Hi guys,
I was planning to shift from OnePlus 5 to redmi note 9 but confused which one to go for pro or max? .
- I see max don't have much development !!
- also, there only big difference is camera & obvio price.
Suggestion much appreciated ?
Go for Poco X3 NFC way better. 120hz refresh rate, 240hz touch sampling rate, liquid cooling, stereo speakers, 33w fast charging, SD 732G for almost the same price as Redmi Note 9 pro/max. BTW the choice is yours it up to you
i also vote for poco x3-nfc. better specs with same dimensions with better specced screen for heavy use. only reason i bought this is its is the only one for sale here.
