Valid device, but not a true successor to Redmi Note 4.

Don't know much about that version and there is not much discussion about it, so not a popular device.

Xiaomi is a solid brand that make a range of electronics or brand items from manufacturers they source (powerbanks, chargers, wifi led lights and other home automation stuff, wifi routers, robo vacuums etc etc). Most of their products are very good. With phones they make phones from budget (60 euro) to flagship (600 euro) so the whole range.

I have the Note 4, a MiBand 2 & a Powerbank. All are excellent quality. I would chose Xiaomi without hesitation

Option C will probably tie you into a new contract and you will end up paying more for the phone in the long run.

How many times better is the mi6 given the significant larger cost?

Though I believe there's no earphone jack!?

Discodog · 15-03-2018 11:18PM

Has anyone got a call confirm app to work? I occasionally make unintended calls. Apparently non of these apps work on miui.

I activated it by downloading a google camera apk for snapdragon processors and had to edit the build properties file. Your device needs to be rooted to do this.

I did it for the hdr+ option but to be honest, I think you need a tripod and remote to notice the difference. Hdr+ basically takes 3 pictures at different exposures so that you get more accurate colours in your photos. The only problem there is that you need to keep the camera quite steady.

I ended up just going back to standard pictures.

I might be wrong here but I think it allows you to manually control the shutter speed too. I use Open Camera and it lets me do this.

The Global Note 4 needs a 4x screen protector. The Note 4 has the LED on the right, the Global, snapdragon version has it on the left.

I'm also looking for a note 4 from a Europe warehouse. Any suggestions?

redmi note 4 seems to be running low on stock as it's run out and prices are not as cheap as they were.

it's over 200 euro at the moment.

mi a1 probably a better buy value-wise at the moment.

Anyone else update to 9.5.4 ? What are your thoughts ?

Some are reporting reduced battery life. My battery dropped after the update but seems back to normal.

what link - one for the mi a1? the eglobal one? (ebay seller link is eglobal also).
I've bought from them in the past - no issues - may take a week to receive, that's all.

Notifications look a bit different. You can assign a contact speed dial to each digit on the dialler. Haven't really noticed much else.

I have been having a problem with my note 4 . While on phone calls the speaker is crackling and distorted. It's difficult to hear what the person on the other end is saying.
Has this come up before as a software issue?
