thecolonel Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 No but I'm on the point of buying a redmi note 4x and wondering if I should wait for the note 5?![emoji54]Sent from my CUBOT_NOTE_S using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Looking at Gearbest, it appears that while the 4X has specs and processor same as the Redmi Note4, the prices are higher. I have the Redmi Note 4 and am really happy with it. The battery life is exceptional. I am a moderate user (no gaming) and never have less than 40% remaining after a full days use. I haven't seen any buzz online regarding release of a Note 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbin Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have read sometime in August ( a year after Android 7 was first released). It will be Miui 9. This is for the Redmi Note 4X... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecolonel Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 4x has a better camera than 4 (Sony not Samsung) Bluetooth 4.2 and a minor build change otherwise same Sent from my CUBOT_NOTE_S using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2008bangkok Posted July 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2017 Xiaomi are actually launching MIUI 9 today but will be doing it in stages with the newest phones Mi 6, MI Mix, MI Max, MI Max 2 will have this update first and will included stables version of Android 7 then the mid to lower end phones like Redmi x and Redmi Note x will receive MIUI 9 but stay on Android 6. I read an article and apparently Xiaomi reasoning for not upgrading everyone to 7 is that it is so heavily skinned with MIUI that the chinese (which is there biggest customers) are not that bothered what version of Android is on the phone because alot of the features they try to incorporate into MIUI anyway. I on the other hand is not happy because I brought a Redmi PRO about 6 month ago and it was only released less that a year ago will not get the latest and greatest. Manufacturers need to understand that Android 6 is nearly 2 years old now so they should at a minimum include Android 7 on all new devices. I think Xiaomi are releasing way to many phones that are all practically identical and not have resources to support them all and there for only focus on the higher end phones, i remember when i first brought a Redmi Note 3 I was getting monthly OTA updates with security updates but on the Redmi Pro I as still on November 2016 security patch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbin Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I don't think the above post is entirely accurate. Xiaomi has released the list of devices scheduled to receive MIUI 9. It is based on Nougat or Android 7, not Android 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 I actually don't mind waiting at the back of the line for Android and MIUI updates. They always have bugs when initially released and it really does take a while to work them out...usually just in time for the next version release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 I got a notice from Miui Forums on my Redmi Note-4 yesterday detailing the Miui-9 rollout. I can't retrieve it now but it essentially said that M-9 would be rolled out first for the newest, current phones, including the Note 4X starting early August. The rollout for all other Xiaomi phones, not currently in production, excepting very early models, will begin in late September. Must be Android "L" or higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008bangkok Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I do not mind waiting either after all when they put on MIUI 9 the you will probably not really see any differences between Android 6 and Android 7. I must admit having used Xiaomi phones for the last year I am impressed with them the Redmi Pro is a great phone for 8 k with dual camere 3gb Ram and 64 GB storage unlike similar brands like Oppo or Vivo and to top it off I have dropped it a few times albeit with a cover and screen protector on and its fine, and it is very very rare i run out of battery during the day only if i am on a visa run or travelling and have phone on all day does it run out. Will definatly keep purchasing these phones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we are so conditioned from childhood to always look forward to the appearance of the latest models of things, like automobiles, that we forget that what's under the skin is often same old, same old.

bobbin Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) My Redmi Note 4X received the MIUI 8.5 update 2 days ago. Had to check the Updater app to see it was available. This updates to Android 7 or Nougat... The Global roll-out of MIUI 9 is still on track for this month or next.

I'm sure Xiaomi users will too.Sent from my R2D2 droid using my C3P0 manservant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
