    Wondering what will replace Xiaomi Redmi 4x? Will it be 5x? I am considering to buy Xiaomi Redmi 4X 32 GB global version but now not sure if to wait or not.

      Harlo, 17 Oct 2017Wondering what will replace Xiaomi Redmi 4x? Will it be 5x?... moreDon´t buy it (any Xiaomi) if you really use it for recording videos, specially loud sounds. The noise cancelling simply doesn´t work. I have a Redmi 4 Prime. Great phone, awesome battery, but...I can´t record anything...

        Let's hope we can then cross-flash 5A's Nougat on our 4As.

          The big difference is that the Redmi 5A is metal instead of plastic.

                    Sam, 16 Oct 2017There is zero change in hardware. I expected the Snapdragon... moreBecause if you need to buy now, you will buy the new one. The old will be discontinued. Nobody upgrades his phone in this segment.

                        There is zero change in hardware. I expected the Snapdragon 425 to be upgraded to 435 it the latest 450 but it has the same processor that a year old 4a had. Why would I buy it ? When even the camera sensor is the same just for a new MIUI version? Flop

                            Anonymous, 16 Oct 2017Sadly, no LTE band 20.4A, which is the same phone but with marshmallow instead of nougat, have an international version and band 20
