What is the available RAM left when no apps are opened by you?

How do the lastest MIUI 8.2.4.0 fares in terms of battery life compared to older version?

Perhaps in terms of raw processing power, 650 wins. If we talk about energy efficiency, 625 wins.

I think other than battery life is the phone will not easily get overheated when you open many apps and playing games too.

I hope this is correct,

Note 4 - SD625 (14nm, Global) or MTK Helio X20 (20nm, China)

SD625 more power efficient and less heat but MTK processing more powerful and claims to be efficient as well.

Redmi 4X for here is using SD435 (28nm) less powerful than both above.

Redmi 4A is using SD425 (28nm), less powerful than SD435.

Xiaomi did a trade off to pair SD625 into Note 4 with newer design and spec in getting costlier SD650 but older tech in Note 3.

See if the future Note 5 will pair with SD660 but the price is going to be near to 1K mark, time will tell.

P.S. Thanks for the pointed mistakes.

Ops, Redmi 4X using SD435. Not Note for 4X and 4a. Thanks for the corrections... LoL

Indeed Xiaomi released Redmi Note 4X as global version.


Sources say the difference is on cosmetic changes and updated hw spec.

SD 660 SoC is using 14nm production and using Kyro CPU inside, so it may appear as strong and efficient. Wonder will the future RN5 will take this or SD 630.

I guess SD660 wouldn't be that "cheap" already, most probably they would take SD630 with dual camera setup. If they indeed use SD660, pricing might be RM999 for 3/32 and RM1199 for 4/64.

I think you may try uninstall the Waze completely, reboot the phone, then install again. Try and see before and login back your Waze account.

What version of MIUI you are using now ?

Go to Security App -> Permissions -> App Permission -> Location ->
then look for Waze, check if Waze is allowed to use Location.

From the same reseller or ?

Google Map can use cellular data or wifi to determine your current location but is approx only and may not use GPS.

May this work for you, http://en.miui.com/thread-185215-1-1.html

It may be because the phone try to keep GPS in locked and your data connection may not be constantly stable throughout the journey, fluctuations of signal strength, therefore, the core clock running high.

I think they claim that battery capacity lower can get slimmer phone.
Efficiency wise I would see more or less the same as both are made in 14nm but SD 630 has more updated spec like newer modem spec, audio and etc. That was what I guessed earlier RN5 to use SD 630.

Newly leaked info on Xiaomi X1 using SD 660, with price surely more than RM1.5K++ ...

Soon, as MIUI 9 is coming very soon...

Check your Power Saving settings yet ?

Ya, hope the local telcos will include the 4G+ by Redmi Note 4 that utilizes Intraband.

Any possiblities the telcos here support intraband CA ?

If Webe can offer competitive rate plan with support of 4G+ intraband, it may win some of us here to MNP ?
