Nobody will develop for this device because Mediatek is not releasing sources, so it's nearly impossible to fix bugs or build a custom kernel.. basically it's a waste of time.
If you want long support and custom ROM's you have to buy Snapdragon 625 variant. (Mido)
Go beg Mediatek to release sources and you will have proper support and ROM's.

Redmi Note 4 MTK has many custom roms and Last ROM for redmi note 4x nikel and Redmi Note 4 nikel is same. Means this case is became same like ROM for Mi3 and Mi4 is same (one) but their TWRP are different. Official MIUI ROM automatically install appropriate recovery and firmware patch for both devices. There is minor difference between both devices.

Special Edition = Kate = more/different bands, less popular
Pro = Kenzo = more popular, lots of custom ROMs, no firmware hassles
Go for Redmi Note 3 pro 3/32GB variant.

Kenzo, kate both have 5.5 inch screen. Buy from correct website.
Kenzo , for which development is near nexus / oneplus devices except in multirom development which is very poor state.

Flash kate firmware and enjoy kenzo rom's.
hello,
both special edition and the "pro prime" versions are the same except height and bands. for custom roms the special edition might be more of a hassle. another thing is cases of normal won't fit comfortably on special ED.
i live in Bahrain and both versions support all carriers and i guess it's the same for you as you are in UAE. you can check with "willmyphonework" website for that.
why are you considering the Special ED to begin with?

as i said in my previous post, both SE and Pro have the same specs. except height the SE is 152mm
now the pro has Snapdagon processor, while the older regular version has MTK processor.
TL;DR : if it has Snapdragon 650 chip then yes it's the "pro"
@falcon4wars Thank you bro, you've been a big help choosing the right handset for me.
Got it!!!

Gratitude to other helping hands too

Redmi note 4 (MTK) 4G/64G vs Redmi note 4 (SD) 4G/64G which one do I buy?

I want to get the redmi note 4 but am a bit confused and I need help.
I have both the Helio X20 and Snapdragon 625 both 4G/64G in my chart but don't know which one to buy
Here are my preferences:
#1 Crisp audio (with better noise reduction) during recording Audio or video
#2 Front camera with better low light performance.
#3 I don't play too much heavy game the heaviest I've played is Asphalt 8 but good performance for multi tasking and day to day use.
#4 Battery life.
#5 Custom ROM with fast charge.
Am a bit drawn to the Snapdragon version with LTE Band 4 and 20 but I need the opinion of others about the Helio X20 version too
Here's the like for the two devices:
Snapdragon 4GB/64G
Helio X20 MTK 4GB/64G
Please I need to learn from your experiences
Thanks
I added a picture showing the differences but not so much details. And I really need real life experiences with this phone.
Reserved
Only Snapdragon version. 10+ hours SOT, no overheating, good support in XDA.
If you wanna taste custom ROM definitely go SD version
Snapdragon. Its powered by Sd625 built on 14nm process
1)No heat
2)Good battery life(sometimes even 10+ hrs SOT)
3)Most things are kind of Snapdragon Optimized

How to Enable 24MP capture on Redmi Note 4(SD 625) ?

Hey all I have Redmi Note 4 (Indian Variant, Snapdragon 625). Now SD 625 has the capability to capture images at 24MP. But the on the device the max resolution is 13MP. Is there any method/MOD/Tweak to unlock the full potential of the Camera ?
Thanks.
What you are saying about the Snapdragon 625 is completely hardware dependent. Redmi note 4 has a 13 mp cam, so sd 625 is limited to 13 mp only on this device, plus the upscaling to '24 mp' isn't something which gives quality images.

Camera is limited by the hardware.. not the software.
