          @PainToad: This comment has been negged by the Xiaomi Army with not a single rebuttal as to why PainToad is wrong?

          Can someone please respond, as I'm actually potentially interested in this phone but the above points are a bit of a worry.

          @elektron:

          If you're interested, don't let my comment put you off. I'm sure it's a great phone. Just as my Redmi Note 4G was.

          But, I don't want people to have an delusions about receiving support.

          Xiaomi make great value hardware, but their software (and updates) suck.

    Great price and great phone. If you get one, lineageos (new version of cm) and resurrection remix are the standard roms.

    Camera is not great but actually takes pretty good photos with the Google hdr camera app.

    Battery life is ridiculous.

    Spare screens cost ~30$ and are, relatively speaking, very easy to install.

      I thought you cannot install Google HDR as the CPU doesn't meet the minimum requirements (unlike the Note version which has a different CPU)?

      I own this phone (32GB ROM/3GB RAM version) so would be nice to have an app that does better than stock photos.

      • PainToad on 15/09/2017 - 15:13

        I don't even own the phone but I've seen it mentioned here that a custom APK was released.

        • BadGiraffe on 15/09/2017 - 16:54

          Why not get it from the Play Store? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and…

          Is it not the same app?

        • spy on 15/09/2017 - 17:23

          Presumably you need to root?

        • heineken016 on 19/09/2017 - 10:53

          @flaminglemon: fair call, I get item not found when I click your link though so presumably not approved officially

        • BadGiraffe on 19/09/2017 - 12:24

          @heineken016: I don't know how they restrict this. I can't find this on my phone through the Play Store, but I can install it when I click that link. Maybe it's because I originally had it when it was official a few years back.

          I prefer using Xiaomi's stock one. Not sure about the APK, but official one does not give you the option to save to SD card.

          In any case, I only ever use it for 360 degrees photos.

      • Cleremy on 15/09/2017 - 23:03

        Sorry I somehow missed that this page was for the Redmi Note 4X not the the Redmi 4X (which I own). The regular 4X doesn't meet the minimum requirements but the Note version does, to my understanding.

  • Modman on 15/09/2017 - 08:01

    Can't tell if this is the Chinese version or Internal version with global ROM. Does anyone know?
    Can anyone let me know if they have bought from Shopmonk before and how long it took for them to deliver your order? Thanks.

      Got this phone delivered Monday came with global rom installed.If you are going to use 2 Sims I think better off with 32 or 64 gig.

      • garage sale on 15/09/2017 - 08:51

        You want 32 or 64 if running 2 Sims as 2nd sim uses the sdcard slot.

      32 Gig probably better off buying through eBay using PHONE15 for 15% off. I can see them going for around the $200 mark from a fair few Chinese sellers (so $170 as opposed to around $190 at Shopmonk).

    Loving it so far and the battery is phenomenal.

    Annoyed with MIUI 8 but have androided it as much as possible.

      flash lineageOS?

        or SlimROM which has even less bloat

        • L0zBargain on 15/09/2017 - 18:25

          Actually, no flash.

          Just used an Android N theme and then run google now launcher.

          SO still the silly settings and silly notifications.. I don't like it much, but don't want to go down the root path :(

      Curious what you don't like about MIUI? The only thing I really notice is different is that there's no app tray, but you can get around that by putting everything in folder widgets, or using a different launcher.

      • PainToad on 15/09/2017 - 15:15
        +1

        Lol, if you really think that's the only difference, you mustn't have used stock Android much.

        • macrocephalic on 15/09/2017 - 16:10

          It's been a while. I've had this Xiaomi for nearly two years, and I had an Asus before that.

        • L0zBargain on 15/09/2017 - 18:29
          +1

          Yeah, I'm a stock android lover.

          Coming from a Moto X Style and had a Galaxy Nexus before that.

          I hate the MIUI notification bar and also hate the notifications. I can't expand them when they come in (they're separate/solo from the notification pulldown tray, but are integrated together in stock android) and the same goes for lock screen notifications. Can't expand from there, have to go fully into the system before I can interact like I used to be able to from the lock screen.

          Also had to can all the battery saving stuff as it was so agressive and kept killing background apps which need to do their thing. For one, Glympse is useless as it keeps killing it and also I run a GPS polling app to have my google location history as accurate as possible. It would also get killed then i'd have huge dead spaces in my google location history :(

          Anyway, for the price, great phone, and killing all the battery optimisation crap, I seem to have resolved most of my issues.

        • PainToad on 16/09/2017 - 16:21

          @lozza6:

          You can expend the notifications, you need to use two fingers (like KitKat from years ago). So stupid.

        • L0zBargain on 17/09/2017 - 21:40

          @PainToad:

          I know right, MIUI notifications are so dumb….. Even if I could just pull down to go into pull down with notifications. But no, all I can do is dismiss….

          I guess i'll do Slim Rom or Lineage. I don't want super customisation. I just want stock android. Could I just use an AOSP build?

  • Cheeper on 15/09/2017 - 09:37
    +5

    From previous deal from Shopmonk delivery looks to have taken around 5 business days and DHL delivery included in the price which makes this an even better deal.
    The Omnivision sensor takes great photos, the default setting is not set to the maximum quality so turn it up.
    Auto updated to Android 7 and a new stable version 8.5.4 of the UI. UI is faultless so far.
    After loading up with my apps and nav program I have 7GB spare.
    Overall impression for the $… 10/10. Get a full cover case. Like all phones, they dont take kindly to being bounced.

    • Deal finder on 15/09/2017 - 10:00

      Any recommendations on cover or case for this phone?

      • Cheeper on 15/09/2017 - 10:09

        No. I ordered one with a clear part panel so you can take calls without opening the cover (not arrived yet). I think that the full cover type might be better with these big screen phones? Plenty of decent ones around for <$10. Delivery can take several weeks if os.

        • hawkeye10 on 15/09/2017 - 12:58

          There's a Bakeey 360 degree protection cover on Gearbest. Have you tried it yet? It looks like an Otterbox one.

      • macrocephalic on 15/09/2017 - 10:28

        I don't bother. I have a redmi note2 which has survived many falls which would have broken more expensive phones; this cheap thing tends to bounce well. Also, at $150 I consider these things semi-disposable.

        • heineken016 on 15/09/2017 - 15:41

          Disagree, my note 4 isn't 'fragile' but definitely isn't above average. Screens are cheap though

    Which of the Xiaomi Redmi phones are going to be the most suitable for a Nexus 6P that has suffered bootloop issue? I love the Nexus 6P and dont want to change - but its reset itself and not stuck in bootloop, so refuse to buy another.

    Redmi Note 4X or Redmi 4X? I'd love to hear from someone who has made the switch.

Have moved from 3195 to 3183 since having that phone though, so we'll see how it goes. I bought a case and a screen protector from GeekBuying because they offer TNT 3-5 day shipping for $6 USD.

    • BadGiraffe on 15/09/2017 - 11:39

    Anyone know how to work out how loud the headphone output is? (it never seems to appear in any phone spec) eg Samsung S6 is much quieter at max volume than an iPod or iPhone

    Reason - I use my phone to play music for group fitness classes and the club caps the output of the amp so I need a good level headphone output.
