After 3 years and still using it as my only phone, here's my list of pros and cons.
Cons
Camera doesn't capture sunrises, sunsets very well.
Sophisticated, beautiful, varied hues of that sky seem a bit beyond this phone's capabilities.
Have had to change the screen twice in three years because of yellow marks on the edges.
Security patches have stopped.
Pros
Still quick for my tasks.
Sunsets apart, camera is decent.
Spares, screens, ridiculously cheap.
Compact and light.
Hardware navigation buttons.
Full screen experience.
No notches. No holes. No nonsense.
MIUI 11 runs smooth.
Battery still lasts a day. Depends completely on the network. I was in a country with a low population, low density, and it'd last two days. Moved to a high population country, battery life immediately dropped up a day.
Have a spare battery. Will replace if needed.
$100 phone running into its 4th year
Can't bear to look at the new, massive, ugly, heavy, glass shovels of today.
The rear looks a bit weathered in a good day. The only protection I have ever used on this phone is a matte screen sticker guard that keeps the screen free from fingerprints and glare.
Wish they come with a modern version. Redmi 4 Classic. USB C, SD 460 or 662, side FPS, reduced bezels to the best possible while retaining hardware navigation buttons. Possibly 5.4 inch 19:9 or a 4.7 inch 16:9. Use a decent single lens camera though. Need to stop with needless lenses.

I have been using this phone since June 2017 until now. It still work well. It's just that the battery runs out so fast when I use it continuously compare to when I just bought it. The screen is still fine, even I've been using it without any screen protector for 1year+. Overall this is the best phone I've ever used until now

I already have a Xiaomi Redmi 4x, and I want another for backup.
My phone is 6m high from top to bottom
Why can't I see one one line?
Most of the 4x are shown 5 and 5.5?
Regards
Steven

my Redmi 4x is still working fine. just because I don't use a cover it has problems on the screen but I have no problem with it. but in the 3rd year using this, the SIM card is somehow always not read and needs a restart if I didn't use internet for a long time. I usually always on stand by using flight mode when I'm not using it, but doing it now caused the problem stated above happens. so I have to always stand by using internet to keep SIM card available. I'm thinking to buy a new one due to this problem, but even the latest Redmi phone is still bigger than Redmi 4x. should I just wait for possibly "same size as Redmi 4x" phone in the future? haha :(

This is such a great phone. extremely durable! used it without a case for 3 years, been dropping it non stop and it still works well. some scratches, nothing serious. screen is loosing color and vitality but i bet if you use a case it's not going to happen. one of the best phones i had. too bad the camera sucks, that's the only problem with xiaomi. they gotta make flagships grade cameras and they will sell big time.
