Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (S625) review: Take Note!

27 March 2017
After getting to know Xiaomi's Redmi Note 4 with Helio X20, it's time to meet the Snapdragon 625 edition. It promises better battery efficiency and thermal control thanks to the more advanced manufacturing process. But these improvements may have cost the Note 4 some of its performance punch, and we will duly explore this possibility.

kideypogba, 23 Feb 2020i want to buy this phone for gaming . am i doing the best choice?I do not recommend this phone today because there's a lot of better phones out there today, packed with better specs and very affordable. But if you bought it in 2017, I'll tell you it's worth your money.

      I bought MI Note 4 in September 2017. It worked well for nearly 3 years. However in August 2020, suddenly there was a problem of No Service. Next day, when I tried to make a call, words "RADIO OFF" flashed on the screen. This was followed by another message viz. "Turn off airplane mode to make a call". However, funnily enough, airplane mode was already off. I was able to use Wi-Fi though. When reported to Service centre, I was asked to pay RS.5500 for change of motherboard. I declined. Now I am planning to get à new phone. This is my horror story. Please do not buy this Chinese phone. You will repent it.

              So I came back to use this phone. (Custom rom aosp android 10)
              And I love the old design, the weight, 16:9 ratio. Maybe the only complain is battery (it is already 3 years old) and bad camera.

                            Excellent performance till now.
                            Only the front glass is brocken for my fault.

                                I am using it almost 2 years. The only problem is the gps kept losing unless i reboot it. Other than that, excellent. Hope there is update to fix this issue.

                                  Great phone!

                                        For me this is a good midrange phone. You might face minor issues but with the cheap price I think this phone really makes my daily work easier. I've been using it almost 2 years and no major issues encountered. Strongly recommended it.
