Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X 3 / 16GB

Advantages: Bright, contrast, sensitive screen. Do not slow down! 3 GB of brains is enough to not bathe at all about the number and weight of loaded and working applications. A powerful battery lasts for two days even with the power saving features completely disabled. Fast processor. Excellent GPS receiver catches the satellite signal almost instantly.

Disadvantages: The camera gives shots of unsatisfactory quality. Other deficiencies are not noticed.

Comment: I chose the device focusing primarily on the size of the RAM (3 GB) and the speed of the processor. And no mistake. Recommend!

Advantages: 1. Value for money is one of the best for today;
2. Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor;
3. Build quality, good oleophobic coating of the screen;
4. Work autonomy (at 6 am removed from charging, mobile internet, wifi, gps, blutooth headphones, online music, You Tube, social networks, internet surfing, etc. - in the evening at 23.00 - charge another 20-30% ). The head does not think that you can suddenly stay with a discharged apparatus;
5. Not "buggy", not heated, not "freezes". Everything works well, pulls even very "hard" games;
6. A large supply of headphone volume, the sound quality at altitude.

Disadvantages: 1. Basically, the comments are not to the hardware, but to the "jambs" of the miui firmware 8. In October, the miui 9 update should "arrive", I hope all the roughness will be corrected;
2. The camera is critical to lighting. In the twilight and low light a lot of noise. Under normal conditions, there are no complaints about the pictures, the camera is strong middling;
3. There is no NFC module (who is already used to contactless payments is not an option).
4. The color rendition of the screen goes to purple hues (you can partially remove the adjustment by putting it on cold tones, no detail on the details)

Comment: If you are a Chinese phone, then you should be like Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X !!!.Who was the legendary Nokia 3310, he will understand me. I believe that Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is the most successful model in 2017, so to speak, for the people, which confirms a record number of sales in online stores. It is rarely that good and very inexpensive. This is the case. Anyone who needs a quality smartphone - "workhorse", I highly recommend. Personally, I was pleasantly surprised by this device.

Advantages: - Price
- Relatively high performance
- Not heated
- Holds a long charge

Disadvantages: - Screen. The colors are good, but the response is slow, so that when scrolling you see small plumes behind the black or white dough (on the old Redmi note 3 this effect was smaller)
- Very long charge

Comment: In principle, the phone is not perfect, but the best offer for its value. Compared to the Redmi note 3, the case, the glass of the screen and the camera are better. Satisfied with the device, it's the best for its money.

Advantages: The big screen, does not hang, pulls all the games, there is enough memory for everything, the fingerprint sensor works fine, the light indication of events is also very happy, and in general, everything is super!

Disadvantages: I thought that the rear camera would shoot a little better, but that's okay, the quality is still good, but when you shoot video on the back camera, the quality is lame :(

Comment: I really liked the phone, it looks beautiful, but at that price the phone is a bomb at all!

Advantages: High-quality execution
High backlight brightness range
Two bright flash LEDs
Scratch-free glass
The battery works 2 days
Good camera
Fingerprint scanner works with 1 time in 90% of cases
Powerful processor (2 GHz), enough RAM to load heavy content
Slowdowns are extremely rare
The interface from Xiaomi is quite good, I got used to it in a day or two.
Some very good embedded applications without ads, for example, IR remote control with an excellent device search interface, even if the model is not known (selection by indirect signs)
The ability to customize each application (blocking access to the Internet, etc.)
Very convenient status bar and notifications, there are quick settings

Disadvantages: Only one speaker
The standard application for the camera is terrible, I advise you to use Open Camera, and there are a lot of settings, and the quality of the images is straight forward without any complaints
In the interface, one camera is easy to replace with another.
You’ll go somewhere, don’t see satellites and is looking for them for a very long time.
Several small lags, but they are not found in everyday use

Comment: I do not use a cover, I have not dropped it yet
The only application that quickly eats up the charge - the distribution of the Internet via WiFi
Bought for 8700

Advantages: The first advantage that pushed me is a processor from the company qualcomm snapdragon that does not heat up like a stove, especially for trifles, the second is the price and a fairly good camera in capable hands, the third advantage that I rarely see in budgets is a very accurate and responsive touchscreen if you suddenly play the piano:) The display is simply amazing with quality
pictures, olephobic coating and maximum viewing angles, there is a long-awaited key illumination, support for OTG, LED notification sensor and fast charging, I charged in less than 2 hours from 10 to 100, the battery struck after the third charge for 2 hours while driving to work showed 100℅, I thought hung up: (Then let's quickly climb in the internet and saw that there is no interest melting slowly:) In very active use, I tried to defuse for 17 hours (I reached 12℅ and cut me off in the morning and in 6 hours I saw 10 :) Reception nets on top and all ra otaet quickly even in 3G, in base RAM 3giga and always free 1.5 also super:) Build Kripen'ka, a piece of glass, too, detalki and upgrade is also not expensive.

Disadvantages: Of the shortcomings of course very slippery, I dropped without waiting for the cover: (

Comment: I advise you to set up the camera like this: Start the camera, then the word MODES, in the upper right corner the gear, set the aspect ratio to 16: 9, photo quality to maximum, turn off face recognition, turn off the age, auto flicker removal, contrast-average, saturation-average, clarity -very high. This is probably the most successful settings, but if you suddenly need colors more vividly, you can set saturation-high. Under the conditions of lapmas, street lights, or not much twilight, HDR helped best, but for example, iso and manual white balance did not help at all, to a hundred You don’t look for these camera excerpts: (Video shoots in the sun conditions of very high sharpness and I use another software for video from the playmarket during these hours ...

Advantages: 1) Price - very cheap for your har-ki
2) Processor - 14 nm technology => there is enough power in excess
3) Power consumption - the smartphone can actually hold a charge for 2 days with relatively active use
4) Heated - heated only when charging
5) WiFi - on the previous smartphone, the connection to the subway was often dropped, there is no such problem

Disadvantages: 1) Subjectively body is smooth
2) The speaker is located below, which can be inconvenient for horizontal use (by the way, one of the speakers is imitation)
3) Simka or memory card can be changed only with the use of a key (or other needle-like object)

Comment: I can not enjoy my choice when buying this smartphone

Advantages: Fast, cheap! - A new generation of phones, after Samsung Ace 2, which is 3-4 years old.
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 MSM8953 at 14 nm - and therefore does not heat up and eats little!
The memory is only 16 GB, but it doesn't matter, we also have a memory slot ;-) And the price difference is palpable, even in prices from China:
16 GB - 7600 p.
32 GB - 10500 p. (overpay 3 tr for flash memory, when 32 GB costs 760 r. - no, really!)
Battery: 4100 mA.
4G - just a song, the browser flies!
Big screen - you get used to good very quickly! after him even a 24 inch monitor seems somehow small)
Fingerprint - convenient to unlock the screen.
Compass + level (if you need to be calibrated through the hardware settings, google it - everything is just there).

Disadvantages: Standard launcher is poor (I find fault with this, because I use the launcher from GO)
The camera is a lot of pixels, but if you add various "tweaks" - then the Sharpig is wild. I'm not a photographer, if you want the rules. snapshots - the camera will have to be configured. I didn’t take it because of the camera, but because of the new “iron”, so it’s not important.

Comment: In general, I took it from the post office of Russia yesterday.
And so: China -> Ali, delivery in 9 days. Price 7600 p. in the gold case (the color is very pleasant, it is no longer gold, but beige-silver) in the set is charging and a key for the SIM card slot. Before buying, I looked at comparative reviews on YouTube like "up and down is not metal, but plastic" - I want to say that everything is done normally, it does not crunch anywhere, it does not rustle - everything is monolithic and of high quality.
Battery: 4100 mA declared, shows 4000 mA - that's a lot! Yuzayu from morning to evening (I tune in, study, listen to music in parallel with headphones) - the battery should sit down by 50% per day (the old phone would charge 2 times already ...) who had the old phone - you will notice the difference in the battery.
4G connection - the Internet is just different (compared to 3G): everything opens quickly, the download speed shows 500-2500 kByte / s. and here I must say that such effects would not be, if not 3GB of RAM + Qualcomm Snapdragon 625. Even on a simple website, modern browsers eat: 350 MB of RAM (naturally, old phones with 700-1200 MB of RAM simply do not take out such loads).
Of the minuses: the standard Launcher places 5 * 5 (I do not remember the height exactly) of the tiles. Those. The 5.5 inch screen contains 25 tabs (squares) - and the screen is full! Standard hours + Search from Google occupy a half-screen ...
The launcher from GO naturally rolled, set the screen resolution: 6 * 9 (up to 10 * 10 possible) tiles, reduced the size of the icons and the size of the widgets - everything became much prettier. Of the minuses, Xiaomi is not friendly with the AIMP player (cods are heard when playing tracks).Well, probably all. The rest of the phone pleases.

Advantages: Taking into account the price of 7400 r (in Moscow), we can assume that there are no flaws in it. Normal workhorse. He does not set up any records in longevity, there is enough work for 3 days (Internet, Wi-Fi, synchronization, location determination are constantly on).

Disadvantages: I do not want to say that something is not justified. What is stated is something there, but maybe someone carelessly looks at the characteristics or is lazy to read detailed reviews, I would single out exactly 2 of the shortcomings (I personally are not critical, but perhaps it is important to someone).
1. There is no stabilization in the camera (neither in the photo, nor in the video mode) with all the ensuing consequences.
2. Lottery with camera modules and lenses. Ideal (not in general, but in the case of RedmiNote4x) is the Samsung module.
3. Mediocre sound. In principle, nothing terrible, but in comparison, for example with Thl5000, the sound quality is worse.

Comment: I decided to write a review in order for ordinary users, those who are frightened by the words "root", "bootloader", "recovery", etc. could take advantage of the camera's capabilities in terms of video to the full extent, without software limitations from xiaomi. Put the Open Camera in the market, choose 3840 × 2160 in the video resolution settings, leave the “default” (mandatory) in bitrate and voila, you can shoot 4K video, which is not in the stock application.

Advantages: Very smart works.
Keeps charge of the battery for a long time.
Well-translated global firmware.
Loud speaker
Cool metal case
Quality and fast cameras

Disadvantages: Of the shortcomings, while I found only a combined SIM card slot and flash drive.

Comment: Although the system applications are eating half the RAM and occupying half of the 16 gigabytes of memory, the phone is still very smart with everything and does not hang when multitasking. The batteries are really enough for a couple of days of fairly active use. Fast charging from the native 2A adapter - 2 hours. Global firmware at the first appearance of Wi-Fi was updated without problems. Clear and not complicated interface, not alyypisty. Quite loud speakers with a bottom layout are very comfortable. Thin metal copra well in the hand. Even with a heavy load is not tupit and not heated. I like the cameras very much. The pictures are clear and he makes them with excellent speed. Fingerprint works flawlessly. Well, a nice addition was the IR-port. Remote controls to the TV set up without problems. For your money a great phone. I advise.
