The 8GB model is blazing fast! Note8 stays far behind.

Amazing

Insane. Way better than my Note8 and that phone was quick!

This!

Blazing fast!! No lag in sight. And I'm not even in performance mode, which I always was in with the Note8.

I would say it's significantly faster than any other Android device I've owned. Apps load much faster, network performance is about 4x faster on average than my prior phone, even system updates are faster.

Restart time is insanely fast too!

How is the 6gb vs the 8gb in speed of opening apps, etc? I don't play games

I have the 8GB model and my partner has the 6GB and we did some testing the other day and there was no real difference. Had 30 apps open as well as Spotify streaming whilst downloading a torrent via uTorrent and neither model showed any signs of lag/delay. I'm starting to think that the 8GB version is a bit over kill, maybe in the future we could utilise it when playing game's or what not.
TLDR, if you looking at buying the Note9 and don't the need the extra storage space just get the 6GB version, can always get an SD card.

6gb is same as 8 gb.... Just get 6gb it is cheaper.

This is great info. Im coming from the S9 and at time this thing is slow.

Was stunned to get 100Mbps deep in a building

Definitely faster than any other android device I've had. Coming from s7 edge. All specs and day to day use so far blows everything else out the water. Just got mines Saturday. 128gb with 6gb of ram

The Galaxy Speed is really huge

I'm a Note 4 & S7 user previously... and I bought Note 9 Exynos 128gb and BAM! I was shocked how fast & quick & smoothie it is... I began to miss the old days when I switch between Apps or multitasking it would lag AF!

Please take a look, i need some advices !

Hello, i want to change this days my phone and i first looked at the Zenfone 3 ZE520KL but now i discovered Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 3gb+32gb (Qualcomm) and i really really want to know more about it. I will use it in Romania, it's the "kenzo" good ? I want this one because i see a lot's of custom roms and i love the Cyanogenmod or RR. How's the battery,daily performance,gaming performance and battery performance ? I don't care to much about the camera. Thanks a lot for the answers ! :good:
If you don't care too much about the camera,I personally think that the redmi note 3 snapdragon 650 variant(2 or 3 gb) is great.
The kenzo refers to the redmi note 3 with a snapdragon 650 processor, sometimes called the redmi note 3 pro.
battery life is great. You could easily get 9 to 12+ hours depending on your setup and usage. Daily performance is smooth, there are very few, if any stutters or lags. I don't know about gaming, because I don't play very intensive games, unless ppsspp counts. If it helps, playing ppsspp is smooth, and there are no lags or stutters when playing, unless you intentionally speed up the emulation, where the game stutters a bit.

I Recently bought this device, The 32GB SD variant and the performance of this device is like HELL Awesome!
The gaming performance is amazing like it can handle all games without any lag.
I played Nova 3, Asphalt 8, Gta San Andreas, Dead Tigger 2, Over killed, Nba, Sbk 2k16 and also some games on the psp emulator(PPSSPP) WITHOUT ANY LAG! TRUST ME.
The Camera performance is also amazing but not in bad lighting but still it's awesome. You can record videos in full HD (1080p). The camera doesn't seem to have auto stabilization but if you use a tripod than the quality is just amazing. The front facing camera is also good, Can take awesome selfies and I don't have anything bad to say about this.
The battery backup is also amazing... JUST Amazing! It last me around 20-23 hrs with heavy usage.
The display is also amazing and sharp you can watch YouTube videos in 1080p.
The fingerprint works gr8!
The only problem is that we just get about 1.3gb of Ram available out of 3gb but still I never notice any lag on this device.
The reason behind this Ram issue is the MIUI!
MIUI takes a hell lots of Ram as it's a custom ui but its optimization is well like I never notice any lag while surfing the phone/web or even while playing heavy games.
Still if you think that this is a problem for you then you can always flash a custom ROM on your device.
I think MIUI will improve there Ram optimization while updates. So don't need to worry.
Overall believe me if you gonna buy this device than YOU GOT THE BEAST IN YOUR HANDS!!!

Thanks for the reply I know the MIUI isn't the greatest android, thats why if i'm going to get this device i will install the Cyanogenmod or RR in the first day. But how about the screen ? I read that we dont have any screen protection...
its tempered glass i put another nillkin h+pro glass on top of it anyway. but the original its scratch resistant...just like gorilla glass.
and miui isnt bad actually...its pretty nice, dont worry about RAM though, SD650 is really powerful so even if it loads from CPU its fast

Xiaomi did not reveal the details about glass protection they used. Instead they said, the glass is scratch resistant has equivalent protection as same as gorilla glass provides.

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.

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.

So far so good. It's fun to use this phone. Really liked it.

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

its very smooth
Exynos model here, Its very smooth, coming from a oneplus 3 it feels much smoother and snappier. Yes I know that phone is 3 years old but it was the fastest phone of 2016.

I keep animations off and its responsiveness is impressive; shows how fast it really is.
No burps using Poweramp; well written apks run clean on it. Very stable. Reboot every couple days out of habit not necessity.
I hate to wait!
Not for the faint of heart though as it's settings are extensive, spread out and to get the most out it... you need to play with it.
It's a lot of fun.

Performance? Low AnTuTu score

Hey, what AnTuTu score do you get?
I've watched few clips over youtube, people get ~365k. My tablet barely makes 310k.
Here's my score in the attached images. Any ideas what could cause that issue?
The tablet feels somehow laggish and sluggish while moving around the menus.

from sep 6, this is Korean version 256gb/LTE
Actually it's getting worse.
It just made 290k after few days of using.
However it's strange.
I got 158k at GPU like gomelkiev.
However i've got 50k CPU against 113k.
It's like some power thing, which is strange, because the tablet was on charger while doing the AnTuTu.
I can't find any performance mode toggle like on the phones.

Scores don't matter or mean much. As long as your happy with its performance in use no point getting stressed about numbers
Out of curiosity I ran Antutu and got
438928
132930
170660
80460
54878
I am rooted and have debloated 99 packages, so...
No other tweaks of any kind.
well, I'm using it mainly for darkness rises and it's doing fine. My worries about the low score are because at this point is not certain if it's hardware or software issue. It might be battery optimization as well as thermal issue i.e. heat sink not attached perfectly which may progress at some point.

My score was 367k which I'm pleased with.
I also reliably score around the 365K mark. FYI that essentially identical to my note 10+
Maybe 6gb vs 8gb ram creates big difference?
But can't be 20 percent...

Samsung's Korean devices have funky software and radios to work on their funky cellular networks. There's lots posted on XDA about issues people have had running Korean devices in the U.S. Korean and Chinese devices are generally considered no bueno as imports.
Try putting it in airplane mode with Wi-Fi enabled and running AnTuTu again. My EU LTE version arrives tomorrow and I'll test it for comparison.

I get between 440k and 450k it has to do with a program it comes with game preformance. You have to have that set on preformance. I have the 6gb version btw. I was concerned like you when I first got it, it was doing about the same as my Razer phone 2 which has a 845. Almost sent it back till I found that game preformance thing. Which also brought my 3d mark score from 4700 to 5600. That's also prolly why the guy with the rooted one gets a higher score, because that game preformance thing is removed, which lowers everything to save battery.
Just ran it again got 443259
~430k here (2 runs, pretty consistent).
Concerning the remark above, I froze quite a few things including game performance I believe so might have an influence...

Acutally, you are scoring higher than the guy that is rooted and debloated. With today's softare optimization and hardware it makes me wonder if debloating is even worth it anymore other than not wanting the crap there. Edit: I ran a test for fun and even scored higher than the rooted and debloated guy.
