[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] vicky90:
Overall good but problems in call quality like low mic volume and camera picture quality is main drawback, other than that I completely fell in love with this device.

just install moto camera from playstore its superb

phone fell and the whole screen looked like the windshield of a car after a car crash but....touchscreen still worked! Good decision on Xiaomi on the design.

Bought replacement screen on aliexpress, had it repaired. If i couldn't repair it, was going to buy the SAME exact phone. Great xda community (8.1 already), big battery, great price.

Camera quality was the reason I unlocked the bootloader, just to install the Google Camera app.

And now I am happy and satisfied (for now ?).

I'm using this version on my mido:

scrubber_GCam_5.1.018_24

You have to find it by searching on Google as I can't insert an external link in my posts yet. [emoji39]

Portrait Mode and HDR+ is working smoothly. But video recording with primary (back) camera gives dark output. I haven't tried to find the solution for this yet because I don't use video recording feature.

There are ROMs comparatively, BUT not many

MIDO

users achieved/tried same. Reason....

*UNAWARE* OR *AFRAD* OR *UNREADY* TO TRY.

Just a handful of users

(less then 1000 lol)

playing on custom ROMs on MIDO.

Compared to other handsets/brands.. *countdown is unlisted* even on forums.

Everytime more on XDA since it is dedicated portal for knowledge.

MI* users

-- stuck on thoughts

-- neglect to change there mind from user percussion.

-- dont go advanceD

-- always stuck on Bootloader ;)

Strongly suggest a required mechanism for daily users to fix regular issues.

One could never ask for more!

This development forum has everything. The phone had its meager and weak beginning from Marshmallow and we are all the way down to Pie! If you are still unsatisfied then you have a wide assortment of custom kernel of all sorts for both battery-saving and performance freaks alike. What more! We even have the community-powered Sailfish OS if you have Android fatigue and the experimental dual boot patcher if you want the best of both worlds! Heck, even the legendary Franco Kernel is in active development for this budget friendly device. Seems like this device would have a long and fruitful life.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] MBTheGamingMaster:

Haha, I second that
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] silvercar1:
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.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] xbekasix:
(Never) SLOW.

Running AOSPEx latest build on Mido 4/64gb Version, the antutu result is 64447.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] HatchetEgg:
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.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] Musikid64:
My Redmi Note 4X is very stable and fast.

I play many games like Real Racing 3 and I get a stable framerate (60fps).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] road jackson II:
fast enough for my needs: podcasts, email, gps, internet, skype, calls/texts, low res gaming.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] asymcon:
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.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] ADInfinity1999:
Quite nice with LineageOS Extended

Chaire! I run my mido with one of the most perfect ROMs built for it to date, LineageOS Extended 15.1. It has its fair set of customization, none of which are as overkill as RR while it manages to maintain an ample amount of memory free for tasks. Although the oldest of the tasks get cleared every after 8-10 consequent running tasks; Not that I am complaining as that already much coming from eight Cortex A53 cores.

I'm no gamer, but I didn't faced any heating issues so far.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] Mr,bluwe:
Maybe I can't speak about heat as I used to use a galaxy S4 exynos (it's a portable cooker in case you don't know, easily reaching 96°c when just browsing on battery), this never heated, the temperature is about 45°c and it never felt uncomfortable hot, actually it never felt hot even in high external temperatures, I don't game on my phone, also I don't do highly demanding tasks, but I guess this phone can stand very well against whatever demanding task you want..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] mohitkd:
Ya very less heating in rn4
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] MattRoot1616:
This phone is cool as... Hm, how to explain this.

Imagine hell.

Now imagine it has frozen.

That's the heat level of RN4. Snapdragon 625 does it job.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] NutsyUK:
My phones been fine, up until this last few weeks...

Where I can't hold a charge for more than half a day... And even running phone a USB socket on the computer, the phone still discharges faster than it can charge. Battery getting hot too... I've tried looking to a culprit app that might be churning the cpu. But even process Explorer isn't showing high cpu use from any given app.

The battery app which shows what apps drain most doesn't seem to show it either.

Really worried and nearly giving up. Might do my first factory reset in the 2 years I had this phone. Maybe time to root it and install another rom, Any suggestions?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] minidisco:
Just trying to comfort you - you are not alone!

First, it's my secondary phone and I use it only when I travel. So not sure since when that happens. Maybe since a week or so.

Now I can lose like 30% in one hour, and the phone gets really hot. I used the last 2 days. Example, this morning it had 100% after overnight charging. I went for breakfast and lost 30% in one hour (rarely use the phone when I was out).

Then I charge a little in the car, phone went went from 58% to 64%. Then for no reason battery life was normal again and by the end of today I had about 20% - and then suddenly withing 20 Minutes it went dark.

I have the phone for about 2 years, this problem is very new.

What I try right now after reading stuff on the internet, so it must be true:

Remove all updates to Google Duo (this app can't be removed) and disable the Auto-Update for it in the PlayStore. Lets see..... (it's an app I never used, had to lookup what it actually is). Did that 15 Minutes ago and phone is already much cooler.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] NutsyUK:
Ok uninstalled updates to duo and blocked auto update in playstore... ill see if that helps... Thanks for the tip

I must admit though, this had made me consider getting a new phone... but I dont really want to the phones good (when its working right) does all i need i to do.... Sure newer phones are a tad flashier but not enough to make me jump to get a new one.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] NutsyUK:
Wow, That appears to have worked..... I mean its not really long enough yet to tell but it does appear to have stopped the fast draining and heat... At least for the first few hours....

Thanks

So if it really is duo causing this battery drain, why do no battery analysers seem to show that?

And is it doing it to all smart phone with duo and I guess it's latest patch installed?

Has duo been spying on us? Has it been running the camera and watching us while we sat on the loo, which I'm soooooo currently not doing..........
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] zector555:
Thanks! The recent heat issue after an update had me thinking i need a new phone. I really like this phone, its lasted me by far the longest, and best run times of all I have ever had. I was worried about fire, did a full factory reset with no installed apps, but heat was still there. I removed updates to Google Duo, and stopped any future updates as listed above, and its running cool and clean again.

Once again thanks for this post!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] NutsyUK:
Yep can confirm now after a few days... no heat no fast draining... Google Duo was the culprit... is it a but that just affected mediatek cpus? Or do all android phones suffer this bug? is anyones heads rolling at google for this farce?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] IODroids:
ITs fine and good...... no options.

While charging and playing games or using heavy data apps.... it wont get heated like expected when connected to electricity.

When on power banks it works otherwise , gets charged and increase in temperature.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] MBTheGamingMaster:
One of the best thermal performance I have seen on a smartphone, thanks to the Snapdragon 625 chipset powering the phone. It had no competition back when it was launched.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] hamzaalijoiyah:
It sucks in lowlight. I mean it's only good in bright sunlight, anything lower than that and this camera struggles. I don't know why Xiaomi was boasting so much about this CMOS **** or whatever on its page, the camera is just terrible.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] breadland:
Pretty bad but better than my old Moto G 3. Photos in daylit or any well lit place are decent though.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] shyam163:
The camera sucked in general and too much in low light. But the camera is the one in LG G6 and you can get good output if you switch to pixel camera.The difference it makes is huge
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] aabenroi:
Those who are saying its bad are getting omnivision sensor, or haven't tried google camera hdr+

Sony sensor and hdr+ rocks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] Supermatt01:
How do you check that?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] Dr. Hurt:
Omnivision sensors are actually quite good. Especially so with MIUI 9.

Comapred to Samsung (quick test at store):

In bright light:

Omnivision sensor captures more details than Samsung. A lot.

Samsung has richer colors. Omnivision colors are a bit faint.

In low light:

Samsung captures more details, but both are equally noisy.

MIUI 9 has improved night performance tremendously on my OV sensor. Unbelievably so. Haven’t compared to Samsung though.

I can post sample pics if anyone is interested. (OV13588)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Real Life Review] fitaminas:
Thank you, the sensor number you have is the ov13855?

Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 4 mediante Tapatalk

Protips

On MIUI the camera quality is a bit better than on LineageOS based roms.

If You are really in the manual controls just for fun or not You will need to edit the build.prop file and that needs root.

The light sensor can suffer gratefully in low light conditions generating a lot of noise.

If Your goal is to get the best pictures in the World of mobiles eg. visible every single snowflake in mid air without smudges => get a DSLR camera and a phone.

The stutter is pretty much responsive there is almost no lag when pressing the shot button
