What to buy next... - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I love my Redmi Note 4X.
In the last two years I have replaced the battery, headphone socket , and power/volume swich assembly.
This phone has been better than any Samsung phone that I have owned.
However, the time will come when I will have to upgrade.
My question is this, what are you thinking of getting next, will you stay with the Redmi series of phones? Will you stick with Xiaomi? Will you switch to another manufacturer?
Share your thoughts.

I am also very happy with my redmi note 4x, I have changed the fingerprint reader and as a guarantee they have given me a new board, I may continue with Xiaomi in the mi range. Or I may buy some Realme or some new Samsung. It will all be a matter of seeing what budget you have.

When is Xiaomi Mi note 2 released ?

Right now, I have seen many xiaomi smartphones released, such as Xiaomi Mi4c, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 prime, but these are just the mid range smartphones of Xiaomi, not like the high end smartphone, Xiaomi MI NOTE, and i also get rumors about Xiaomi Mi Note 2.
Here are the main features:
All Metal Body
5.7-inch Sharp sourced 2560 x 1440 2K display
Snapdragon 820
4GB RAM (at least) and 32GB memory
16 mega-pixels is on the cards.
So when Xiaomi Mi note 2 released on earth? I would like to try to make the review and compare with Xiaomi Mi note. This is the really high end i want to appreciate.
Any news?
Then you may have better luck on the miui site. This OEM is not really a big thing here.
cant wait for this phone!

DIsplay compatibility

Hi guys, i've broken the display on my Redmi Note 3 Pro this morning, it fell and it's all cracked. It still works and i've found someone who can replace it but i need to buy a new one, the full thing display+touchscreen. The problem is that from where i come from, Xiaomi is quite rare and the real posibility is to order it from Aliexpress, but i have to wait weeks for it. I found a local vendor that sells Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 displays, not the Pro one, but the MTK version.
My question is: Are the two versions compatible with each other? Does the Redmi Note 3 display fit and function on a Redmi Note 3 Pro smartphone?
Thanks in regard.

Is the Redmi Note 3 receiving good service after 2 years from Xiaomi ?

I plan on buying the Note 5 when it comes out in January. I know the Note 4 is updated with November patch, and also how good it is. But is Xiaomi supporting a device 2 years old ??? I need know if the phone I so eagerly want to buy well last nearly 2 years.
Any and all experiences shared are helpful.
Personally, i think not. Xiaomi doesn't respect the 2 years support for this device. It received MIUI 9, yes, but it was still based on Marshmallow, if they really care, they would have updated it to Nougat, like they did with their Mi counterpart (Xiaomi Mi Max)
You can grab note 5 if it doesn't come with SD 625 & probably equipped with 660.
Don't expect much from ****UI devs, XDA devs are always the best.
Only buy MI devices if you're low on budget & like ****UI irrespective of android version.

Xiaomi MI series vs. Xiaomi REDMI series = which line is better?

Xiaomi MI series vs. Xiaomi REDMI series = which line is better?
Everybody knows that Mi series goal is to be better than Redmi at least in specs and performance.
But how about performance to price ratio, how about all other things that You dont worry and dont expect in REDMI casue it's cheap but You do expect it in the MI series?
What are the problems/things that You don't like in MI series?
What are the problems/things that You don't like in REDMI series if there is any? WHY? Cause we all know not to expect wonders for a low budget priced phones.
I've talked to many people who had/have REDMI and MI series Xiaomi phones (clients, selllers, internet folks, friends) and they only agree on ONE thing -the price is great wheter it is REMI or MI phone.
A strange thing happens.... REDMI owners are always satisfied. The only thing that bothers not all of them is the camera quality.
But in low and middle price segment REDMI beats EVERY other BRAND.
Xiaomi has also great prices in the high end flagship models but here MANY PEOPLE are dissapointed.
For example camera quality, screen quiality, body, bezel, bugs, no NFC, no european B20 LTE band.
The MI users also tell me that non of the above bothers them but something totaly different. EACH person = an original problem with MI device.
Can You please tell me what are Your problems/dislikes with MI and REDMI devices cause I'm about to buy one from each segment?
What should I worry about (Android updates maybe?) buying a REDMI and a MI phone IN YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIANCE?
The biggest difference besides hardware is updates. Redmi devices usually only get one major update for example the note 4x was released with 6.0 and then got 7.0 but will never officially see anything higher. Although I don't find that a big issue because MIUI rom gets security updates and features from higher android version added. Also most devices get updated MIUI versions for example note 4x released with MIUI 8 then got 9 and now 10 is slowly becoming available. Also wifi hardware is subpar on redmi devices. Again I will use the note 4x for example. It does not have 802.11ac and using 802.11n you are capped at 150MB/s and 2.4 ghz band doesn't do 2 channel bonding unless you have root and edit the proper files.
Camera quality I can't really say much about. I am not a big picture taker and what I do take seems fine.
If you are concerned about radio bands then there really is only one choice. The MI Mix has pretty much every band you could ever want.

So REDMI get less Android uprades than MI series.
The LTE bands are slowly beginning to be a no issue as more and more devices get the whole Global LTE bands.
Redmi's or hongmi's are the low to mid-range smartphones and the MI's are the mid to high-range smartphones and flagships..
So go with the Mi's but phones like the Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi Note 5 Pro, the New Redmi 6 series and the old Redmi Note 4(Qualcomm) arent bad either.
Phones you got to avoid are the Redmi Y2/S2 due to terrible software decisions(it runs a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit CPU! like the old Redmi 2 series) and if you wanna develop for a device, avoid the Redmi Note 3(Qualcomm) due to the community being a little meh.

I've heard the exact same thing form a reliable source so it must be true what you're telling me about MI and REDMI in general.
Redmi Y2/S2 terrible software(?! software!?) specs is new to me.
It is disturbing tho causue Redmi S2 is a good phone on paper (perfANDstuff/price ratio) yet You tell me to watch out. This is bad.
Also Redmi Note 5 has probably (heard rumors) some issues, the most recurring one is with the camera mode - unfortunatly one user delivered the XDA community an info stating that it might not be a soft issue but a hardware issue (same error happens on stock and on custom rom).

It is new but due its software being 32-bit, you are not using it in full potential
Still you can build 64-bit LineageOS or port 64-bit MIUI from Redmi 6 Pro

Redmi Note 5 or Mi A1 ?

Hey guys im looking to upgrade my Redmi Note 4. So im torn between RN5 and Mi A1. I like the screen of Note 5 but I also like the A1 dual camera :/ . Besides bigger screen RN5 is not much of an upgrade... So i guess I just need second opinions
Mi A2 gonna launch in few days. I think you should wait for that
RN5 cameras are far better than A1's. Look at some reviews on YouTube. I would go Rn5, no doubts
Instead go for RN5 pro.
Combo of both bigger display and camera...
RN5Pro , definitely good development and best redmi.

Hello what do You mean by redmi note 5? Vince (sd 625) or whyred (Sd 636)
Ye I wasnt informed well. Redmi note 5 pro china edition is awesome. 5.99 screen, dual cameras.. I think ill go for it
Ok new question? What do you think about redmi s2 ? Is it a good upgrade from redmi note 4? How much better is note 5 from redmi s2? In my country Redmi S2 64/4 is a lot cheaper than Note 5 64/4

I think redmi s2 is just another redmi note 4 with different design, nothing is upgraded except dual camera bs
You could just stay with redmi note 4 . IMHO nothing wrong with it.
I myself just bought a redmi note 4 a week ago. I had the option of redmi note 5 pro, but I decided that 4 is better for my needs. 16:9 aspect ratio (yeah I don't like the 18:9 trend), physical navigation buttons, and camera that doesn't stick out of the phone are somethings that note 4 has and note 5 does not.
