I posted about Remi Note 4x Nikel here because MIUI provided same ROM for Redmi Note 4 and 4x Nikel. This phone is upgraded version of Redmi note 4 Nikel.
Devs we need support for Redmi Note 4x Nikel. It has an extremely powerful processor and GPU but this device is not getting support from anywhere. Kindly consider this device Old TWRP and ROMs of Redmi note 4 Nikel do not work in Redmi Note 4x.

I tried TWRP of Note 4 for making backup, after restoring ROM that ROM did not boot. Afterwords I installed new ROM of note 4 it also did not work.

Ok. Nevertheless if you are stuck in a bootloop you can flash back to the official MIUI firmware via EDL (Emergency Download Mode) or via fastboot.

Ok so if you have already solved your issue then why did you create this thread? I too have the same phone and I knew before buying it that there's wasn't going to be developer support as it has a Mediatek processor. You are better off buying the Xiaomi A1 or Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon should you want custom firmware support.

I created this thread only for getting support of TWRP and custom ROMs. I wrote this matter very clearly. It is possible because Xiaomi created last same ROM for both devices with some minor modifications.
The main difference between both devices is that in 4x you cant flash ROM with locked bootloader.

Should I purchase a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with Helio X20 MIUI 8 with Android 6 or a Redmi Note 3 pro with Snapdragon? Even if Xiaomi releases a Note 4 with Snapdragon is there much of a difference in the 4 to wait, by chance? Seeking opinions, if I am in the wrong forum please guide me, thanks.
Always choose for Snapdragon. By my own experience.
Only take a look to the Snapdragon v/s Mediatek version dev sub-forum....
the x20 is faster, but not by much. the sd650 is proven very battery efficient
i would go for the sd too
Redmi Note 3 Pro by a long way. Unless you are happy using MIUI then RN4 may be ok. I cannot stand MIUI. Personally if you could wait then wait for the Redmi 4. Its supposed to be 5" 1080p Snapdragon 625. I am waiting for it as the RN3 Pro is too big for my hands.

Yup looks like it. Time to play the waiting game for hopefully an early Christmas present :good:
Xiaomi should compete against the Samsung A9 Pro for the next Redmi Note. That has a 6" screen, dual SIM and separate MicroSD slots (no hybrid slot nonsense), 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage.
A larger Redmi Note would be welcome, for me anyway, because a Mi Max is simply too big. I wouldn't get a Mediatek-based phone ever again after being stuck with KitKat on a Note 3G. Qualcomm are a lot more respectful of GPL issues. Anyway, I think the Helio X20 has too many small cores - these work well in benchmarks but they do nothing for real world usage.

If only Mediatek went open-source, there's a guide for the Interactive governor that will fully utilise all those cores. It'll be interesting to see how they can be tweaked to increase an already large battery life.

This is a developer forum, not a marketplace. You can poach customers somewhere else.
Helio X20 have a little better performance in CPU and Adreno 510 burns Mali-T880 MP4 in Helio X20 and even X25.
Helio X20 CPU is 4+4+2. More like Snapdragon 615 with 2 high performance core from 650. But since XDA having far better support for Snapdragon.
If you want a better performance, go for Note 3 Snapdragon.
I'm predicting Note 4 Snapdragon will use Snapdragon 652/653 with 2/3GB Variant and a special edition with 4GB RAM will wreck any mid-range smartphone.

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.

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?

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.

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..

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.
I'm getting my hands on Note 4x (tomorrow) MTK (MT6797M) since I catch a great deal with it, but looking at the devs forum here...
MTK get less love compared to its Snapdragon counterpart. Im planning to tweak my unit a bit, so it'll be hard if I encounter issues with MTK.
Should I cancel this purchase and downgrade to 3GB/32 Snapdragon from 4G/64 MTK?
:halppls:
Yeah! If you're into tweaking and tinkering, snapdragon variant got much love.

Uhh... Yeah, it'll be fine if you use stock rom.
In addition to that performance on MTK variant of Redmi-note-4 is better than snapdragon variant.
MTK variant has also got some Roms tho... :laugh:
Your choice...

In my opinion, if you are going to buy a Xiaomi phone, you should always get one with a Snapdragon chipset. It will save you much angst down the road.
Snapdragon
Go for it
Snapdragon is much better. My friend is using 4X MTK version. He told me it drained battery and always overheated. The plus of MTK version is only the benchmark (higher than SD version),the screen quality and build quality. I've just ordered 4X SD version and it will be arrived in some days.
MTK no, worste gps, drain battery.
Snapdragon is better
Aha, that's right. MediaTek 20nm process Soc I do not recommend buying, Qualcomm 808 810 is a good example. MediaTek note 4x although there are 4gb RAM but MediaTek X20 processor heat terror. You can go to MIUI China Forum to see, complained that MediaTek version of the heat, cut off a lot of people. They all regret to buy the MediaTek version of the redmi note 4x.
In my opinion, Qualcomm 625 can be regarded as a real high with version!

Hi. What exactly do you mean by screen quality and build quality? I thought both variants are exactly the same except for the SOC used?

I noticed MTK version has a better screen brightness. Try watching the same movie on both phones. Also I think MTK version has better build by holding both phones. Maybe it's just my feelings. [emoji14]

I have 2 Note 4X MTK version, bought for the 64gb/4gb feature. Battery is good, does not overheat too. Of course, I don't play cpu-intensive games, only 1 game, Clash Royale.
I don't know about the Snapdragon, but I'm happy with the MTK. I just installed the developer build of MIUI 9 on one, and battery lasts even longer, power saving on permanently.
Hello! Im new here i need your suggestions what to buy 4 or 4x as the two comes w/ snapdragon variant?? Do they have major differences? Bugs or what?? Also, are snapdragon roms are compatible to 4 or 4x as long as its snapdragon? Sorry for my bad english. Any help is appreciated. Ty.

It's the same phone. It simply has different names in different countries. Just make sure it's the Snapdragon version.
Depending on where you live, you may want to buy the Global version of the phone which supports more LTE bands (like band 20 in Europe).
But to be honest with you, I wouldn't buy the Note 4X anymore.
The Note 5/Note 5 Pro is already out.
The MI A1 ist basically a Note 4X with pure Android instead of MIUI and dual camera.
The Redmi 5/Redmi 5 Plus is basically a Note 4X with a 18:9 display instead of 16:9.
The new Mi 6X came out recently with a better CPU, dual cameras and MIUI.
The MI A2 (the same phone as Mi 6X but with pure Android instead of MIUI) will be announced soon.
So all roms and kernels of snapdragon will be compatible to both 4 and 4x as long its snapdragon? Thank you for the suggestions. I'll look for redmi note 5 pro

Correct.
So, is it good to buy 4x cause it's more updated than 4?

You need to buy the phone with Snapdragon 625. Depending where you life, it's called either Redmi Note 4X or Redmi Note 4 Global Edition.
Just make sure that you buy the phone with Snapdragon and not MTK (MediaTek) processor

That is good to know, However there is one thing I would like too add:
Xiaomi is very bad in the development scene, they do not provide kernel source and devices trees for developers to build custom roms or kernels, and currently the Redmi Note 4 has both, while new devices probably don't.
If you care about custom roms/kernels ( and everyone here at XDA probably do) check the device respective development threads before purchasing the device to see if there is any activity.
Since basically in my opinion MIUI is a version mess.
Check for the processor. Don't buy the Note with mediatek chipset.
Called the X2, will be finally launching on 4th Feb India via Flipkart

True that.
Kinda dissappointed they are launching with 730G, it won't make sense for poco users to upgrade (or rather downgrade ). Anyway it was also announced in grapevine, 3 poco phones might be launched. Hopefully one of them is true successor.
I hope so to
Poco / OnePlus users know wht exactly they r getting. For such phones it is always about develpment support otherwise there would not be any sense making such a phone. SD730g is a gud SOC if they mix it with Samoled+90/120 hz, no/waterdrop notch minus poco F1's screen panel bugs and the strong point of Poco - Pricing. (i dnt think OIS wud make its way)
It would make a pretty compelling case for itself.
Snapdragon 730G is using in Redmi Note 8 pro right? then why poco is using this same processor instead or SD 855 or 855+?

Actually Poco is now independent, BTW k20 series is Redmi but Poco have to release flagship device. K20 flagship is for Redmi.
