Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Review

[@mikekwarner]

Looking forward to getting mine. The Redmi Note 3 Pro is likely a better bet for some, with Cyanogen support and a similarly fast SD650 SoC for a similar price, but the Note 4 is also an interesting device with a slightly better hardware design. You are right about MIUI - I never understand why the large Chinese manufacturers Android skins like Xiaomi's MIUIand Huawei's EMUI insist on closing down apps and reducing privileges for seemingly no reason.

[@user-oo1gj2oz9c]

check out some benchmarks, the helio x20 in the note 4 destroys the Sd 650 in the note 3 pro in multicore performance, it has a slightly better single core performance depending on the benchmark and its gpu is slightly more Powerful (0.5-1fps difference in most benchmarks,nothing important).The helio x20 is also a 20mm arm while the sd650 is a 28mm one. So the note 4 will outperform the note 3 pro in every aspect and it has a much better multicore performance. You are right though about the rom support but very few people are going to flash a custom rom on their brand new phone, it is too risky. So in conclusion the note 4 is more powerful and it is definitely worth the extra money, if you have a note 3 pro you shouldn't even think of upgrading, the note 4 is slightly better than the note 3 and it is aimed for the people who are willing to pay some extra money for some premium features.

i can tell you' this thing is amazing. i never expected somthing this good

[@Templemain]

Good review! Very little "look @ me, Look @ me" interference while getting down to the nitty gritty of the phone. I have already purchased the phone & was searching UTube for more info about it. Your vid far exceeds my comprehension but still I'm a quick learner. I'll catch up. Thanks again, Gaz.

[@segthegamer4841]

where i live i got it for 250$. and boy-oh-boy was it worth it

[@GlenBarnett]

Great review! Nice to see that you've mentioned the restrictions on background refresh. Something it seems, everyone else that has reviewed this phone has omitted to mention. I'm considering purchasing the 3Gb/64gb option, but does anyone know if the Global rom provides 4G in the UK?

[@InnerFire6213]

it's good for keeping rogue apps from eating away the battery. I keep the battery savers all turned on, and set my vital apps to autostart in the security app so i won't lose any new notifications

[@brosplit]

Glen Barnett the way AH mentioned it seems so not user friendly, when you can simply open security/permission/autostart. i am time to time move to cyanogen or aosp based and in fact this feature of xiaomi is what I miss, automatically disable rogue app to autostart and manually enable what you want.

[@prechus]

That review was excellent. It answered the VR question that I've had since my Vive experience.

[@jibidneary2212]

Thanks for a good review, can you plug an external mic into this phone? Thanks

[@harrystech5637]

Great Video, Thanks! So what do you have to do to it to make it show notifications?

[@jarsec]

This was the best review on this model phone. I was about to get this phone until you said tge 4GLTE wouldn't work in the USA.

[@Assenayo]

LTE works great in Australia :)

[@infectate3466]

really

[@lohnjennon4886]

The Gooch Thanks!

[@paytonhiggins813]

I can't believe it's just for 139.99 dollars with coupon code: REDMKNO www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_604985.html?wid=4&lkid=10746232 I hope this can help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHXbY3eLYrugabM

[@robertwilson7731]

It's pretty cheap here - for 139.99 USD with coupon code: REDMKNO gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_604985.html?wid=4&lkid=10746232 Sweet kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHXbY3eLYrugabM

[@iklilmunaahmad5583]

Actually, you can easily get the notification from background apps in miui by going to Security-Permissions-Autostart and just move the slider to make the application run in the background. It's very useful feature, so you can easily handle process from any apps that you want, either it must active in the background process or not. very useful for battery conservation and level of distraction that you want.

[@afafgerushi7736]

so does it work in uk with 4g ????? and I don't get the lte part wt does that mean ?? plz if u know reply because I'm getting this and I want to use mobile data fine ( btw ive got 4g mobile data from the company three )

[@Avantime]

If you want dual-SIM, forget about the $135 16GB model. You'll need the 2nd SIM card slot for a MicroSD card.

[@thespecialist7442]

Thanks for the review😎

[@TheSuperleokiller]

Should I buy the Note 4 or the Note 3 pro

[@user-oo1gj2oz9c]

note 4 without a doubt

[@nickyambao834]

wait for the note 4 pro

[@GPbasketballCards]

when is that?

[@nickyambao834]

sometime in november. It will come with a Snapdragon 652 processor. I prefer Qualcomm over mediatek so I think I'll judt wait for tge pro version

[@GPbasketballCards]

Nick Yambao I live in Canada these phones will work here correct? and where would you recommend I buy it from? I am new to this so any kind of help would be nice

[@Tibb91]

4X or Note 4?? I don't know if I need 5,5" FullHD, I absolutely loved the design and premium feel, though.

[@8bitheroes86]

Question, what is that racing game in the vid? it looks a little like outrun.

[@rentakiller]

I got this phone a week ago. It's fantastic!!!!

[@AndreyDo]

Common, nothing to dig into, just go to settings and enable notifications, one move and it's easy and you will see all notifications from all applications you used to, do not scare the audience! ))

[@TheVavavince]

hey! would you know if the vibrate on this phone is any good? my old Redmi 1s has terrible vibrate, and i'd get nagged a lot that someone texted/called me and i never got a feel for it (i always set my phones to silent almost all of the time).

[@MatthewLabarbera]

all redmi phones work so good in Australia! reception and LTE is great!

[@lohnjennon4886]

Matthew Labarbera What carrier are you using?

[@bboyven]

are apps still restricted from running in the background or did they fix it?

[@andyxavierventura7317]

Which is better of the two... is it the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro?

[@leonvdd]

that price is if u order it from china itself doesnt include inport duty and tax

[@benblitzkrieg]

Do we need to sideload Google playstore on this device or is it readily available?

[@moonfolkrapid]

Hello i am confused is xiaomi redmi note 4 pro or xiaomi redmi note 4 pro PRIME version better? Thank you.

[@PRIMEoptimus1989]

Does it have a gorilla glass? I hear rumors that this line of phones doesn't come with gorilla glass.

[@GraysonMMO]

Should i get the Xiaomi redmi note 4 or Vernee mars?

[@richardmolenaar6215]

where did you see it for that price?

[@csyd22]

on the internet

[@nadimkhandakar8368]

what should I buy............."redmi note 4" or "redmi pro" plz give me your opinion urgent...........

[@ambujpriyadarshi211]

Security /permission/ autostart - allow what you want. You are good to go

[@genericseat8917]

Should I buy the pro, or the Mi Max? I honestly would like a pro version before considering these choices, so which one should I get? The pro has the dev support, while the Max has that beautiful, huge screen.

[@vishalgiri5166]

great review!!

[@csm125700]

what can I do to watch those dramas in the mini video app outside china? there's a glitch in the "back" button I noticed. anyone has similar problem?

[@atifghafoor6258]

the 16gb version is £160 over $200 in the uk

[@wafflestomper5206]

When will the Chinese companies market to the USA by including USA LTE/GSM bands?

[@n7eet]

I have a Redmi note 3 pro, runs full 4G LTE on MetroPCS and T-Mobile...

[@segthegamer4841]

i have the note 4 and it works for me

[@n7eet]

redmi note 4 works on LTE in USA?

[@Ventu822]

It does work, he's missing the 800mhz band, wich means no lte when you have low signal

[@sugoiiuwu6517]

you're a very good gadget recommender.keep it up

[@aqmohra4]

How can you say the video recording is excellent when the sample video you showed here looks terrible?

[@segthegamer4841]

its pretty good i have it

[@TaoufiqLak2]

pay attention to the darkness, it's almost sunset there.

[@jani_rakhau]

how log did it take for shipping ?

[@zerotolerance3560]

your review seems to be in contrast with most reviewers specially with the cameras. I used to own a redmi note 4 snapdragon edition and the front camera is very horrible while the back camera is ok ok.

[@rullyantowibisono]

i buy it around $175 in indonesia. anyway, it's a fun phone considering the price. do the job just fine

[@GitaraDad]

You can enable sync to enable notifications like gmail

[@ljklsm9]

Try autostart app at security - permissions

[@LimahPoppin4565]

[@DavidMVFX]

[@LimahPoppin4565]

[@angelalfee]

I'm rockin the note edge now...ok google sometimes hard to respond so i add an app

[@crowbarasdfghjkl8081]

There is a 32GB version too. I am using one right now.

[@cosmowk8836]

Hi, does it have FM radio?

[@agnesstewart9803]

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 I personally like it, nothing bad to say I can not. But his rival Uhans H5000 has a large battery capacity and is much cheaper, only $ 119.99!

[@sohailkazi5901]

It Looks to be a good phone. wish to see the comparison with Moto G4 Plus & Lenovo K6 Note.

[@KivaGordon]

me too

[@user-oo1gj2oz9c]

I don't know about the lenovo phone but the note 4 is significantly more powerful than the moto g4 (better processor, more ram)

[@iqbalmunna4473]

What is the available ram is this phone ? I know the Ram is 2 or 3 GB but is 2 or 3 GB available ?

[@segthegamer4841]

normal note 4= 16gb stoarge + 2 gb ram note 4 pro= 64gb stoarge+3 gb ram

[@MrDed-vf2gz]

[@abyssgaming744]

[@RNoONeY96]

Abyss Gaming I know that o2 isn't supported but I believe EE is supported

[@directorarungeorge]

Still no USB TYPE C

[@sohailkazi5901]

yup thats a bit disappointing😢.

[@richardmolenaar6215]

fast charge.

[@alexwr]

Not exactly. Fast charge is available on this phone, but not with the charger provided by Xiaomi.

[@alexwr]

Yazan Mudallal What are you talking about? I don't understand what you are saying... The Redmi Note 4 has fast charge (MediaTek PumpExpress 2.0) but it does not have USB Type C connection port. The power brick in the box is not a fast charger, so you would have to buy your own if you wanted it.

[@user-oo1gj2oz9c]

this is considered a budget smartphone, there is no need for a usb type C connector. The micro usb is much more widely used and also offers some kind of fast charging.

[@KeithoSan]

I'll wait until international rom

[@hongjunwen493]

Keitho Sayoto the global ROM is out

[@judsonbonneville6685]

[@InnerFire6213]

Sports Highlights Channel if you get one with the global rom it won't have any chinese apps and will have google apps preinstalled

[@sportshighlightschannel1144]

i already got the one with Chinese apps now what to do

[@InnerFire6213]

You just need to flash the global rom. Go to miui forum, download the latest global stable or beta rom, and flash it using the updater app in your phone

[@InnerFire6213]

Beware it will wipe out all your user data though

[@sportshighlightschannel1144]
