really?

bought mine 2 weeks ago from Lazada from a non-Xiaomi store. Straight on start-up phone asked to update ROM. I've been running MIUM Global 8.2 | stable 8.2.1.0 (MBEMIDL) since day 1 with no problems at all (touch wood).

ICIC, thanks for clarification guys!!

Guys, which one is better? Full cover tempered glass(one with frame, body colour) or normal tempered glass?
I read somewhere on Aliexpress full cover tempered glass the glue is only on the frame. The glass, isn't really a glass.

Currently on soft bumper(silicone?) with hard plastic on the back type of casing.

Why this redmi 4 not available in their official website for online purchase? I Don't trust those 3rd party resellers.

Xiaomi is probably the only phone brand that has customers who are too scared to upgrade ROM.

I'm not upgrading. Given their track record, there will be tons of bugs.

Never heard of.

Ya.I never flash/root any phones.
Being afraid with it.

nothing to be afraid of if you follow the instruction carefully ...this is my first android phone and flashing new rom is fun

just brought two redmi4a, jump from honor, haha...

got a serious problem need to solve, the default firmware v8.1.4 for my malaysia sets, does not support exFat file format for memory card, is there a fix for this? patch or firmware version which support it?

>bought a xiaomeme mi4 for rm420 on lazada
>noticeably faster than my snapdildo 400 redmi 1s
>fast sd 801 with 160GFlops gpu
>installed lineageos for less botnet
redmi 4 is not worth it.
any snapdragon 625 and below is not worth it.
if you can live with 12.4GB of useable storage and usb otg, mi4 is a steal.

1 more question.If anything goes wrong,is it easily recover?
I am on the same version.Didn't notice any similar problem yet.

Yeah the Snapdragon 801 is basically the same as the old 800 and the Redmi 1s using the Snapdragon 400 also had poor battery life. Only the current Snapdragons have improved the power consumption issues. Samsung got fed up of the Qualcomm because of heat/power issues and decided to use their Exynos cpu for their newer phones after the S4, Note4 models.

Hi Shirohamada,
Is your instruction for installing 3rd party ROM based on an unlocked bootloader?  Thx in advance.

Is this redmi 4x really not worth to buy compare with note 4?

I like that this smaller phone is light n nicer to hold. Stunning black color.

And the massive battery.

Btw the screen is the same HD as note 4 correct?

But for casing will be little difficult to hunt.
If you search redmi 4x, you get whole lot of Note 4 and Note 4X.
Coz 4X is still very new.

How do you pay on aliexpress? Credit card only?
As its all USD.
I don't think online banking like FPX works?

is there two 4 prime version...small bezel and the normal bezel?? or r u just trying to be descriptive of the 4 prime rather 'small bezel 4 prime"?

does redmi 4 primes support webe? we usually use band 5 right?

i just flash to global rom form china rom tis afternoon

Ive /had few xiaomi, i really prefer the global rom.

bro the global rom can still OTA kah. thanks

another question on flashing ya:

if recovery rom can be done on system update (download by phone and update thru updater)....why do we choose the alternative of fastboot rom need to connect cable, on off hp ,on fastboot and flash thru using a computer, extra hassle.

Why no Redmi 4 prime Malaysia set? I want SD 625. Redmi 4x is SD 435

Between Mi4 and Redmi 4x,
Snapdragon 801 is much more superior in performance correct?
Although in most other things Mi4 is outdated.

ppl said sd435 raelly like shit, is it true?
