Hi Guys, I'm wondering if Mi4 is still worth it to get today. I have the chance on also getting the Mi4C instead. So I would like to know your experience with it and if you have had the chance to try and compare it to the Mi4C, what would you recommend me to go for.
Mi4 or Mi4C
I wonder if is it a deal breaker to get the Mi4c over the Mi4, taking in count both cameras and the processor. Considering also both with 3 gb ram, and software development such as custom roms and xiaomi official firmware.
Thanks

I did get the mi4 because:
- Better design (in my opinion)
- possibility to install w10
- more roms ( i think)
and in terms of performance and camera they are almost equal.
Mi4 should have better camera, F1.8 aperture size.
I am going to buy a new smartphone and the 2 alternatives are Mi4 3gb no LTE (my operator uses mainly 800mhz lte) and Redmi Note 3 Pro 3gb. Prices are $160 for Mi4 and $216 for Redmi. I don´t like phablet but the newer hardware of Redmi Note 3 Pro is also interesting... Any advice?
I'm not a pro, so my advice may be wrong, but I believe the Mi4 kernal is open so you can will get more longer term custom ROM support (eg Cyanogenmod) where as the Redmi might have better specs, but the kernel source may never be released and therefor you'll be restricted to whatever version of MIUI Xiaomi choose to releases on the device. I was faced with exactly the same choice and went with the Mi4. Infact I am about to install CM13 on it.

Ah, I was actually thinking of the Redmi Note 2 which hasn't got a kernel release if I'm not mistaken. I would go for the Note 3 in your case. Better specs, and bigger screen is a good thing too.
Not to bump a thread a few days old, but I'd say the Mi 4. I just bought one on sale for $145 or so with shipping. I was torn as well but the hardware is what appeals to me the most. I also like how you can install Windows Phone 10 on it, I might do that for a few days just to reminisce of my WP days.
Hello dear XDA Experts
Which Xiaomi phone shall I buy that will be the most popular Xiaomi device for a long time (people will talk about it and buy it for a long time), have the longest support and have many and many custom roms made even after pulling it off the market and most of all custom rom Devs will love it?
Any answer is welcome to help!
Pocophone. The last one I remember was the Redmi Note 3. It was too popular for a long time.

Hello
I was and I am tempted to buy Xiaomi Redmi S2 phone. It has nice specs and in Europe there are more good deals for this phone (from 5% even up to 40% off) than for any other Xiaomi device.
I was about to purchase it but in the last moment I read a comment stating that I should watch out for this device because it’s hardware is 64-bit but the software (OS) is 32-bit.
Can someone tell me is that true?
If YES shall the owner be worried? Does it make additional problems?
I am having a Redmi S2 and yet I have not faced any issues. But, all the specs are just enough for Fortnite mobile except it's 32-bit ROM. Fortnite mobile demands atleast 3GB Ram and a 32-bit is.
Except that everything's fine.?

GAMES have issues with 32-bit OS, right?
Some games use 64 bit app_process to process it game, but however after 10.0.5.0 the Mobile Legend problem seem to be fixed

Can You tell me/us more as for why there will NOT be support for this device after August of 2019?
BTW Redmi S2 is the same device as Redmi Y2. Why? Cause in different regions of the world the name that Xiaomi uses to sell that device is different. The specs stay the same.

Redmi S2/Y2 will have Android Pie update in Q2 2019 but i can not confirm for Android Q update also device will get at least 2 MIUI update (MIUI 11 and 12)
e.g Redmi Note 3 released with MIUI 7 but it got MIUI 8-9-10.2

Is it better to stay with MIUI9 or to upgrade to MIUI10 when I know that MIUI10 will not bring Android upgrade?
And.... MIUI10 has ads all over the place. How does it look like from experiance?

So how about Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 Pro (the successor of Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred))?
Hey guys, I have this, and it's pretty good, should I return and just look for another option because the 32bit thing kinda worries me about the future of this phone.

I couldn't answer your question i am really sorry dude (I know it was one month ago)
I like Miui 10 performance but ads sometime makes boring.
And you can play pubg and other "some" games well. You can'y play 64 bit games like Fortnite because OS 32 bit you know and official MIUI 64 bit never come.

1) I will get a full refund if the return the phone.
2) I do play them occasionally
What phones do you recommend or I am thinking I could wait for the modding community to make 64 bit roms

I assume it's global.
Hello,
I'm new to the Oneplus 7 Pro (not new to rooting) and I was looking for the best AOSP ROM. Would like to know people's opinion which is the best one with no (huge) buggs.

Try CrDroid or PA,if you are not a gamer then PA is best
Else try CrDroid
But the best rom is for you to decide..try out everything..each rom has its own perks
Extended(customization) and Bliss(Battery) get my vote.
Which one is the best as AOD battery efficiency? Looks like some roms use a britgher AOD meaning more battery usage
I have this rather old redmi 4A that I would like to run pokemon go on it. Since I wasn't planning to use it on other things, I figured out it would perform better if it could just focus on running said app. Are there any custom roms that are fit for the job?
