i went through the page and i think by giving a review it will help

screen: rmn 4 better contrast than redmi note 3 pro, but colour temperature are much colder. redmi note 3 pro colours are more accurate to my eyes.
earpiece: rmn 4 has better earpiece, my calls were more clear than on rmn3 pro.
speaker: rmn 4 has better speaker
built quality: rmn4 metal feels premium whilst rmn 3 pro metal felt really cheap
weight: the redmi note 4 is heavier than rmn3
grip: rmn 4 gives better grip as it has flat sides
gps: no issue at all on the rmn 4 , and i owned a mediatek device before no issue too
network: no issue at all
gpu : the x20 were made to compete with sd 650, the mali t880 mp4 on the x20 were scaled to match the adreno on the sd650 so the performance will be roughly the same
cpu: the cortex a53 and a72 are licensed vanilla cores from arm, x20 and sd650 performs roughly the same
heat: the rmn 4 only differ by 1 degree celcius when compared to rmn 3 pro, on touch it s roughly the same.
charging: it supports fast charging by 5v 2A
the phone performance: i get same performance from rmn 4 and rmn 3 pro
battery life: roughly the same with redmi note 3 pro, but at one point with redmi note 3 i was able to get 12 hours of sot with careful usage, with the rmn 4 i am still trying and so far unsuccesful
main camera: rmn4 has better camera than rmn3 pro, at the wide angle the rmn4 has a little bit of lens distortion which may be fixed in the software. but overall the rmn 4 camera is way better in taking pictures.
front camera: rmn4 camera has a smaller viewing angle than on rmn3. but the picture quality is better.

fingerprint sensor: now this is the most important of all, on the redmi note 3 pro it was a pain in the ass to unlock because it was not that accurate. i need at least tap 2 to 3 times to unlock if i am being lazy. on the redmi note 4 the fingerprint unlock is so good i can say i never had problem unlocking it.


for those who has reservation on mediatek they should not anymore, the x20 is the first of mediatek chip that is capable of competing with a midrange qualcomm soc like the 650. they have also improved the modem power usage. any better would be the snapdragon 820.

any reason one should go for redmi note 3 pro is the cyanogenmod rom. because on both devices, miui is quite a let down so far. for those wanting snapdragon with redmi note 4 design, redmi 4 is now out with a capable soc for non gamers which is the snapdragon 625.

Thanks for the detailed review.

np, i added fingerprint sensor into it.

Which one is higher in temperature? How did you measure the temperature?

Thanks for the personal review.

how is redmi note 4 compared to redmi pro? price differ quite alot due to the extra camera on redmi pro

Any news on RN4 Pro? The SD version.

one is larger screen 5.5 one is 5.2 or was it.

nope..there wont be any sd version

They are both same 5.5. Form factor also almost 99% identical. Only thickness difference 0.2mm . Body also probably the same. redmi pro with type c connector though.

My redmi note 4 used to show there is options for VoLTE. After update to 8.0.4.0 . No more this options. Anyone still have it? I softbricked my phone after OTA. So I followed some guides to flash, probably the steps disabled VoLTE options.

u can use aida64, redmi note 4 is the hotter one

doubt will have one, the redmi note 4 has a global rom already.

redmi pro fingerprint scanner at the front, redmi note 4 at the back. imo back more convenient.

and the amoled on redmi pro is china amoled, not that accurate in colours imo

mine never showed volte option frsh install both global roms, you are using yes 4g?

No bank promo tag on it, still can get the discount?

Exactly. No bank promo.

Was the temperature readings taken when the phone was on standby?

yup, i didnt check the battery during load because i didnt have any overheating issue. the better metal does make the heat spread more towards the outside just in case you feel the redmi note 4 is hotter

Sorry its seem no more bank promo for that link. It does have bank promo when I posted it, and few days after it.

That's the CIMB bank promo? Now there's another listing up for UOB bank promo RM629 - 10% discount. I think it's the same seller.

Anyone knows how this Lazada Online Revolution will benefit us in purchasing RN4. Yesterday see a lot of bank promo, really tempted, but holding back to see how Online Revo thing pans out.
