I use newest beta version of global MIUI 9 ROM and it's faster than MIUI 8, especiali if it comes to external storage loading

RAM Management is quite poor
Same issue with ram management but i have managed to get better performance with CM !
Lags from time to time
emui sucks
ahahahah
Poor ram management, app startup is not that good, emui4 made this ram management even poor. Wish this phone came with near stock android
Snapdragon really does the job. A perfect SoC for it's prize.
'Gets the job done'
I love the speed. Overall it's pretty smooth.
Moderate and no lag whatsoever. Still doing well after 18 months of usage.
ram management is poor

Yeah I dont know whats wrong with huawei.why they cant manage a ram better.....
All they did in mm just add 500mb zram..:laugh:
Really good after a few hours of reboot. Some lags after that.
its fine..ram managemnt kills its performance
Custom ROM have way better speeds than EMUI.
Performance is very good running on stock or custom rom
It's not the fastest phone on the market, but it can definitely surprise you by the overall smoothness in mono-thread. In multi thread, EMUI kills the 3rd app launched. It reminds me of the Jelly bean era with low end phones...
And I found something even more interesting : as a mobile musician, I tried to use iGrand Piano from IK Multimedia and found out the phone has an imperceptible lag (i think it must be around 30ms max, and possibly under) which is really rare on the android market and on this price range. It's really great for choir when you want to quickly find a note. Seeing the potential, I then wanted to use an iRig Keys (mini-keys) with it but the stock firmware doesn't allow OTG. It's unfortunate because the OTG is present in the hardware. I couldn't unlock my phone because the Huawei website never wanted to give me my unlock code. So I got an Honor 9 Lite which was a lot more powerful and had OTG out of the box. What a deception : it had a latency of around 200-300ms out of the box with IK Multimedia iGrand Piano/iLectric. I tried deactivating a lot of stuff but it didn't change anything. Also, the smoothness of the screen is far inferior to the Honor 5x : it has a lot of remanence and although you can launch 50 apps without lag and everything launches 10x times faster than on the Honor 5X, the overall feeling of the screen is really crappy which is a shame for an "evolution".
I finally managed to unlock the bootloader of the Honor 5X this weekend : the Huawei website seemed to have evolved and asked for one more field than before et and it worked when I retried.
So I tried several Nougat OS 7.1.2 : Resurrction Remix, DotOS, Cosmic, and had the same lag (around 200-300ms) as on the Honor 9 Lite. I remembered it was absolutely perfect with the OEM skin on Marshmallow and decided it was more important to have low latency audio than the latest Android version. I tried a Cyanogenmod Marshmallow and a ResurrectionRemix 5.7.4 and it worked like a charm ! Around 30ms, almost imperceptible : it's less than a real organ or than my old Erard piano with bizarre insides and with which I learned the instrument.
So for you all : just check a Marshmallow custom Rom if you need low latency audio on this marvellous phone. It seemed it can be the equal or beat Nexus 6P phones and other high-end devices almost out of the box on this field.
After few months my Honor 5x was very laggy, After i did few tweaks, its now very responsive. Here i shared few tricks it may help others.
Please note i am on stock ROM without rooting.
1. Download & install "Google Go" app from playstore. (light version of "Google" app), uninstall/disable "Google app". I found significant improvement after doing this. (A restart required)
2. Install "Go" apps instead of regular ones. "Maps go", "files go", "youtube go", etc. note these are the latest light weight apps from google.
3. Disable & uninstall un necessary apps, i disabled few apps that i never used. ex: Google play books, google play games, google play movies, google play newstand, google+, Hangouts, Photos, Social Channels, etc.
4. Use only light weight apps, some suggesstions
Holo launcher, (not hola launcher)
Youtube go instead of youtube,
Pixel Music player
Focus Go (Gallery)
5. Allow only necessary apps to run on background. I only allowed whatsapp, gmail, etc. (go to phone manager->battery->protected apps to check)
Note: A restart required after.
Hi,
I just wanted to know how does the mobile compares to the note 5 in terms of customization? I mean is there something like Knox in xiaomi phones which hinders rooting ? are there good custom ROMs that are close to stock as I seeing that many are using cyanogen mod and I don't want to use it.Are there any drawbacks I should know about? and finally, will this device have a good lifetime or will it stop receiving updates after a year or so? and if no then what device would you recommend ? Does it support Qualcomm quick charge ? will I lose the miui features if I use any of the custom roms ?
Here are a few things I like to highlight when people ask if they want to buy this phone
1. The camera SUCKS SO BAD. it gets even WORSE when you use custom ROMS
2. The custom ROMs will always be buggy because XIAOMI does not release the FULL codes/source for us to be able to have non-buggy custom ROMs
3. There are two ways to get updates; a. via stable ROM that gets updated like twice a year and b. Via developer/beta ROM that gets updated every week. You will get updates but XIAOMI is known to not upgrade the android version (like from marshmellow to nougat) but you will get updates just not android version updates.
4. Usually you will lose a few XIAOMI/MIUI features if you use custom ROMs (due to xiaomi not releasing full/complete source code)
5. You will need to ask permission to unlock bootloader and then root (takes around 1 week/3days to get it approved) and the process can be a hit or miss
6. No quickcharge. The Redmi Note 4 takes around 2 hours and 15 minutes from 1% to 100%
IF YOU WANT INSANE BATTERY LIFE get the REDMI NOTE 4X THAT IS BASED ON SNAPDRAGON 625 SOC
IF YOU WANT A LITTLE BIT MORE PERFORMANCE BUT SACRIFICE 50% BATTERY LIFE (COMPARED TO REDMI NOTE 4X) GET THE REDMI NOTE 4 BASED ON THE MTK HELIO X20
THE REDMI NOTE 4 HELIO X20 MTK IS KNOWN TO HAVE SOME HEATING ISSUES. IT CAN LAG IN GAMES DUE TO IT.
THE REDMI NOTE 4X SNAPDRAGON 625 DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT SACRIFICES LIKE 10% PERFORMANCE BUT ALMOST WITH ZERO GAMES LAG DUE TO ITS POWEREFFICIENT PROCESSOR
Hope this has helped you in any way
My opinion: For the price, there is no other better phone than the REDMI NOTE 4X SNAPDRAGON 625 but you will have to live with the bad camera (terrible in low light and indoors, decent in well lit environment) and possibility of not getting android version upgrades
. But you will get a snappy phone with very good battery life (10 hours screen on time form 2 days from 1 full charge).

-There custom roms based on stock miui. Check for Xiaomi.eu
-It does not support quickcharge right now. After kernel sources are released you will get almost qc 2.0(constant 2,5A charge)
-Xiaomi will release android 7 for this device but you will get miui 9-10-11 updates for 3 years.
-Rooting and unlocking is not that hard. No knox or any program to count that.

Thanks for your reply,
should I buy though the redmi note 4 or note 4x both are snapdragon variants?
xiaomi.eu doesn't seem to work for me btw
what is the best situation for the the phone ? I mean are there certain benefits to being rooted on stock ? or is there some good stock like custom rom or hybrid ones I should use like I dunno linage os ?
I don't know if my question is clear enough or not but what I mean is which of the choices I mentioned offers th best stability and gets the latest features ?

The Redmi Note 4 in general refers to the Redmi Note 4 MTK that is sold in China
The Redmi Note 4X is the snapdragon Version sold in CHINA
but
In certain countries, like Malaysia, where they dont sell the Redmi Note 4 MTK, the Snapdragon version is called Redmi Note 4. In Hong Kong the snapdragon version is called The Redmi Note 4, too, which makes it a little bit confusing.
@op is you never used miui rom my first advice to you go to Youtube and see miui 8 video some people like miui some hate it personally i hate miui too much so using custom rom.
In custom rom no bug at all just camera is not good compare to stock rom.
Rooting rn4 take apporx 10-15 days.

Check the link below. It explains rn 4 qualcom vs rn 4x
As a summary 4x supports more lte bands. Buy 4x.
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=524344&extra=page=2&mobile=2
I suggest this device to you because it gives really good value for price.
Custom roms which based on miui is really close to stock rom. Always you have lineage option.
Miui is better on visuality and animations.
Lineage is better on performance. You have theme support as well. You can change visuality(menus, settings, status bar) to sony, samsung or huawei style.
Advantages of being rooted are removing ads, changing cpu freqs for better battery or performance. Double tap to wake, double tap to sleep options available when you are rooted.
You're a power user. Can the Honor 4x keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Honor 4x. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.

Definitely a good custom rom support

Really constructive comment there.
And you would be wrong. The topic is "overall speed". No contest, the MTK wins hands down.
In fact, from experience, not what some other people "think", I can't think of one thing the QC version does better.
(Never) SLOW.
Running AOSPEx latest build on Mido 4/64gb Version, the antutu result is 64447.
I have the global version, I say the performance of this device is far better than my old Galaxy S5 G900F. But I do feel custom ROMs influence the performance quite a bit.
My Redmi Note 4X is very stable and fast.
I play many games like Real Racing 3 and I get a stable framerate (60fps).
fast enough for my needs: podcasts, email, gps, internet, skype, calls/texts, low res gaming.
Very fast and reliable in sustained operation.
I had my mido transcode a bunch of h264 videos using x265 (arm7l build). All 7 clips, each 41 minutes long were finished at 74-hour mark, tying the performance of S625 to similarly clocked Core2Quad.
So for all 74 hours the CPU was loaded at 100% and had not glitched or crashed the transcode.
Throttling was within acceptable limits, frequency fell down to 1689MHz once ambient reached 37°C and went up again to 2016MHz with 18°C ambient.
For geeks it might be a good idea to fix some thermal paste on the SOC to extend it to the back Al chassis for more effective dissipation. Stock dissipates more through the front screen than through the back panel.
It's not bad.

Even the overall performance and speed of Qualcomm is 2x than mediatek.

I own both versions and in day to day usage there's actually no difference in performance. So the snapdragon variant is better here.
LineageOS works great. Variant Snapdragon 4/64GB
My Mido Redmi Note 4 ia doing really well. it is only 3 Gb of RAM, but is satisfactory to my daily needs.
The performance of Redmi note 4 is fast and efficient in handling heavy games and apps, and the battery to keeps upto the mark, it has cool looking aesthetics and what else can I say??, it's the bang for the buck at that price range!!!

Just because it's running 625.
Yes it is very fast with combination of SD 625 and 4 GB ram.
Coming from an Oneplus 5 it's OK. But of course Not near as fast
Overall it's very smooth and there are no lags anywhere.
At the same time it's slower than my almost 4 years old Nexus 5 I know I shouldn't have expected much from SnapDragon 625 but I hoped that it would beat SnapDragon 800. Not really. Singlethreaded performance is quite lower while multithreaded is obviously higher.
It is superb.. With few tweaks, 625 merged with stock starts performing at its best..
Can this run assassin's creed identity or galaxy on fire 3?

File manager.
From body to its camera, this phone is superb. But I've an issue/concern that I'm unable to find file manager to locate files, photos,videos from the phone(like usually other phone has a separate file manager in menu to view). only after downloading few apps for photos, videos and files I'm able to view them. Please help me with details how to locate those files, photos, songs and videos without those downloaded app.
Please contact: [email protected]
Like it so far. Just switched from HTC One X (endeavoru).
Able to play Honkai Impact 3 with recommended settings.
Updated to December 2017 update. A bit laggy on the keyboard typing at times.
as long as there is a little space in the internal storage the phone works fine.........like 10 gigs or more......should that reduce then there is slight lag....almost negligible
It is very fast phone, if you use that is a little SD 625 under the hood. But, thanks to great Android One, and regular updates, to take and keep MiA1 smooth.

I didn't lagged a single time since i have it. Playing 3D games smooth, rendering desktop version of web pages (my last phone went crazy each time I tried that), multitasking, editing documents, no problems so far. FP scanner speed is good. Camera could load faster but still better than my Samsung.
Oh is good, 8.75/10 from me.
It's a 5/10 for me. It's works well enough considering the price of <200$ - but it's nowhere near as smooth as a Galaxy S7 or similar ~2 year old flagship phones. Don't buy this and expect the same performance!
It's okay for my use. It helps a lot the stock system.
For me this device have good speed for normal daily use. Have no lag at all. 8/10
