Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

Advantages: A good screen, a good oleophobicity, an excellent battery, with intensive use are hard for a day, with an economical one — at least two.
Excellent performance, especially I do not play games, but I set tanks for interest, it goes without brakes. The build quality is excellent, it does not creak.

Disadvantages: I chose a long time, as in the previous one there was one SIM card, I needed a two-term and long-playing
I did not find any drawbacks for myself, as it is easily customized

Comment: The impressions are only positive so far, many friends have switched to Xiaomi, I have a lot of their equipment from power banks and fitness bracelets
I recommend to buy

Advantages: I liked absolutely everything, especially the price!

Disadvantages: I did not find flaws in this phone.

Comment: Phone for your money is very good. For all the time of use, I have not seen a single flaw. In general, I recommend the product!

Advantages: 1) Autonomy is average. But the duration corresponds to 4000mA. Day or two.
2) Performance. Do not slow down and do not unload any applications and games.
3) 32 gigabytes of memory. After installing the main applications remains somewhere 19.
4) 2D screen looks good. The image is clear and rich.
5) MIUI 9 (Andrid 7). Constantly updated.
6) Communication is good. Surely holds and voice, and the Internet, where other phones slide into 2G.

Disadvantages: 1) Camera. Comparing with Redmi 4X she loses. Errors are clearly software. If you install third-party software and patch the system, then you can fix it all.

Comment: The model is beautiful. About the camera - this is my personal bzik. When I bought my wife Redmi 4X, I was very happy with the camera of that phone, but that device has a weak processor.But the camera NOTE 4X causes me a misunderstanding. And this is not a marriage. I picked up other devices for the test. Everywhere the camera is on the same level. When the cell phone is down, it cannot clearly remove distant objects. Photos with flash have a yellow tint. What kind of a grid of dots sometimes climbs on a yellow background. On w3bsit3-dns.com there are detailed instructions how to fix a lot (not everything), but why not do everything right away ... Otherwise, everything is rustling and updating. Tanks Blitz just put here. 60FPS. In games, the battery does not melt before our eyes. Not heated. For those who believe that the camera is not at all important, I recommend. Excellent device for its price.

Advantages: Body - Pure monolith, it is very pleasant to hold in hands, it feels like a smartphone for 300-400 bucks.
Design - The black version is insanely beautiful, and these corners are just a pretty sight. Definitely one of the most stylish state employees in this price range.
Screen - Excellent IPS panel does its job: the colors are pleasant and not oversaturated, as on AMOLED, and Full HD for this price ... mmm. Well, the cherry on the cake is 2.5D glass covering this beautiful asshole. The protective glass is quite adequate (it is still not Gorrila Glass), for 5 months of use only one small scratch.
Snapdragon 625 is a monster of energy efficiency, not only that this little devil makes the smartphone smart enough, so he also almost does not eat battery power. Toys fly on medium-high. You can play on ultrax, but not particularly demanding 3D toys (SimCity BuildIt comes in a stable 30 fps).
Battery - Two days. Thanks to the “little devil” Snapdragon 625 and 4100 mAh (sic!), He is able to hold for two days. I have never had a smartphone capable of holding two working days, and those that were capable were either dialers or fat and heavy.
And most importantly: The price is $ 150 (~ 8,000 rubles).

Disadvantages: Camera - It is not so bad, but still quite average (photo cameras are attached (4-8) (the last photo uses a filter)), although it is still better than any type of trash: Fly, Prestigio, Alcatel and Samsung's budget line, and t .d., but with a flashlight flashlight is good.

Comment: In general: a great machine for your money, almost the only affordable, powerful and beautiful state employees.

I will put 9 Chinese out of 10.

P.S. MIUI 8 - Still not an ideal shell for Android, but on the whole quite adequate, basically I only met minor bugs.
P.P.S. The phone is full of custom firmware, one of them is Lineage OS - it's naked Android from the Cyanogen Mod team, if you don’t like MIUI, then you can choose a bunch of other firmware to your taste.

Advantages: everything is perfect for the price!

Disadvantages: warranty
the phone was dead, turned off, and I couldn't turn it on. took it to the guarantee - they said that the case is not guaranteed. that the liquid got and need to reconfigure the board ????? and pay 3490. service on Dostoevsky, red is such a design of the design as the name I do not remember and threw the paper. 1 - Sch ... 16 pp 2, 4 entrance. As a result, he took it off (he looked like it was taken when it was taken into service) the cover turned out to be the power button. found it for 290 rubles + 300 delivery to the house, in the internet. changed in 5 minutes. and everything works again. The phone itself pleases - I recommend.

Comment: to say that I am disappointed with the service and arrogance of the master is nothing to say. I am even ready to accept that this is not a guarantee - I exploit it mercilessly. without cover and film on the screen. but frankly lying and such nonsense to reconfigure the fee - the brains themselves reconfigure durik)))

Advantages: Metal case, and in general - design. Bought in black. Very strict and concise.
The screen in all respects - glass, oleophobic, resolution, brightness ... Everything is fine.
Performance for everyday tasks and for undemanding games - with enough head.
Build - subjectively - great. No squeak, no backlash. Everything is whole and strong.
I have not dropped it yet and am not going to, but I bought the silicone case out of harm's way.
Perhaps I will surprise someone, but the cameras have pleased me.I can surprise even more that the cameras have pleased in comparison with the Sony x1 z1 compact. Especially the main one.
Removes well - not a SLR, of course, but not a cheap soap dish. Makes an interesting bokeh. Photos are quite clear.
Another pleasant experience is a fingerprint scanner. There are things that you do not understand the coolness of until you have them. This is exactly the case. Super handy stuff. Since I don’t have much to compare the speed of work with - I’ll say that it suits me - it works quickly.
I also liked the sound in the headphones. Not Cowon, of course, in terms of volume margin, but the sound is quite detailed and budget sony for 600 r in conjunction work well. More expensive headphones did not try. In general, enough.
Battery. With an average load, I charge for two days. If the tail and the mane - a day and a half. By modern standards - great for a smartphone.
Snapdragon 625 + 3 gb RAM + 32 gb ROM. This is just a super optimal solution for a smartphone. Everything works quickly, the phone is not heated when performing everyday tasks.

Disadvantages: Immediately I will say. The disadvantages here are very subjective, from being unaccustomed to after a really compact phone.
Dimensions.
The smartphone is big. Wide, in particular. I would call it a compact phablet. That is, a priori hefty, although by the standards of the class of phablets - small. For my big hands, it's fine, but the next point makes things a little more difficult.
Weight.
The device is heavy. 160+ grams and a silicone case give on the scales 185 grams (he measured). In combination with the dimensions - it turns out the destruction of ergonomics. This is a fee for materials and battery. Without a cover, it is easier and more attractive. Surprisingly, 20 grams are felt.
Marco.
In black, the phone well collects stains from the fingers. And the brushed metal in the back is no exception. In defense, we can say that they are also erased easily.

Comment: When I bought a teolefon, I did not have time to learn about Redmi 4 Prime (Pro), which is the same, but less by half an inch, and with a different camera module. Perhaps I would have bought it, especially because of the greater pixel density. But at 5.5 inches Full HD looks great.
NFC not found.
A call or an alarm is heard well. The phone vibrates normally - felt in a jacket pocket or even in a backpack (less).
MIUI. I love pure android without additional settings. I got used to the local interface only after a couple of weeks. There is a plus - you can easily customize it for yourself - a very flexible system.
Conclusion
This is a great phone for your money. Could buy in retail with global firmware for 11300 wooden. On Ali, you can even find cheaper. The combination of materials, batteries, platforms and prices make this phone an obvious choice for those who need a functional smartphone for everyday tasks, which is not a shame to get out of pocket in public.

Advantages: 1. Fast, cool, tech processor
2. Not a bad camera, especially the front one.
3. Support 4G LTE B20 (only in the International version, but not in the Chinese support. Read more in Comments below)
4. Luxury OS, much nicer stock android. While I sit on the weekly (updates come every Friday, but probably return back to Global Stable, there are fewer updates).
5. Looks more expensive than its price.
6. One of the best among competitors battery life. I have a day with very heavy use makes. Other phones lived only until the middle of the day.
7. Price. Up to 13-15 thousand there are no competitors. Although if more expensive, then the processor will be more powerful, therefore it will be faster to discharge.

Disadvantages: 1. Confusion in titles with the international version, which is difficult to find. Read more on how to distinguish the international version in the comments and photos.
2. For a month of use, 2 micro-scratches appeared on the touchscreen. It can be seen only on the off screen at an angle.

Comment: I took the international version called Xiaomi RedMi Note 4 32Gb Snapdragon 625 - Global Version on the box. Just do not confuse with the old model, which is exactly the same name, only without the Global Version inscription on the box, there is a Helio processor.

Yes, the box MUST NOT be 4X, otherwise it’s Chinese with global firmware.

Look for what would be written on the box:
1. Global Version
2. Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 (and in the settings, about the phone, 8 Cores must be written)
3. On the box and on the phone itself, the model number should be indicated on the back:
2016102

Why I did not take the Chinese version (- Note 4X):
1. In the Chinese version of the device there is no support for 4G B20.
2. In the Chinese version of the device, even with Global firmware, sometimes there are problems with banking software, for example, with Sberbank Online.
3. In the Chinese version, charging is not for our sockets - it is inconvenient with an adapter.
4. Global firmware is not native.

Advantages: Excellent camera, large convenient screen, good camera, the battery lasts for a very long time (with active use 2 days, with moderate to 4), nice beautiful design

Disadvantages: If you drive in phone numbers, then immediately +7, and not from 8, otherwise the contact is not determined for incoming calls

Comment: Overall - very satisfied) price-quality matches. After 5 years of using the Apple machinery, everything is fine with it.
