Dont think I noticed there was another model after the Pro 3, anyone tried it out yet and how it stands against the x720?
Theres also a x950, they are both similarly specced to the 72x, just different ram and camera.

Hi everyone
I am looking to upgrade my secondary device and I can not decided between if I should order a Redmi 3s Prime now and it would be with me by mid November or should I wait for Redmi 4?
Now there are factors which can affect the decision and I am sure many of you might be in similar situation as well. I like to game a little on my device mostly FPS online like Nova or MC4. I do not play any other game and I plan to stick with these games as well. I can run these on 1gb and Sd410 with some frame drops.
REDMI 4
The redmi 4 was leaked around late August and Gsmarena tipped it to be with Snapdragon 625 and 1080 HD display. However it is NOT officially released yet.
Complete specifications can be looked here :
http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4-8263.php
if we talk about generally, the advantages of redmi 4 over 3s,
more support
rom development
better performance
moving to nougat before redmi 3s which might stay at marshmallow.
Different design with a curve which may help in grip as 3s is slippery
HD display 1080 vs 720
If we look at 430 vs 625, we see there is no comparision between the two. 625 is a clear winner in all aspects
These are strong points out of which only the snapdragon 625 attracts me more.
Why to go for 625 ?
Smaller size Soc 14nm vs 28nm on redmi 3s prime which translate to 30-35% more user friendly
Higher clock speed: 2ghz speed vs 1.4 so better gaming and performance
Big Little Technology : It utilises faster cores when gaming and slower cores while reading/emails/browsing to safe additional battery
Better modem : X9 vs X6
Now the only issue is WHEN it will be available as I am looking to get a device by Christmas.
Now the problems waiting for Redmi 4
Not announced at all and no clue when it may happen
After availability, it will take some time to be available on distributers and it will take time
be expensive as it is not available in Europe and initially new devices are expensive
May need to wait long
maybe 1080 eats more battery and thus Redmi 3s wins in better battery performance
Now what will you guys do in this situation ??
I want your opinion and REASONS why ?
I think the Redmi 4 has the Mediatek Helios chipset or is that just the Note?. If it has, it probably still has poor gps and power consumption as with all their past chipsets. The Qualcomm chipsets win hands down...

buy redmi 4 prime coz it has full hd display and a sd 625 which is just mindblowing when it comes to performance and battery life.see moto z play and asus zenfone 3 for example.reviewers love them for their performance and battery life

I actually posted it when redmi 4 wasn't announced. Now it's a clear choice. REDMI4 prime
I bought the new redmi 4, last week, in alegrecompra.com. I'm waiting to received it. you can also find it in http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_563921.html?wid=21.
This is much better than redmi 3s .
I hope the cyanogemod is working as soon as posible in a room for this mobile phone
In my case, i prefer wait for redmi 4, but 3s is more popular in índia, and when xiaomi publish your kernel sources, 3s is gone receive much custom ROMs, and redmi 4 dont, because xiaomi is too slow to publish kernel sources, but redmi 4 is more beatiful too... If i have money to redmi 4 and 4 prime, i choose the 4 prime... I'm thinking to move from R4Prime, but i will wait for kernel sources and choose.
I use the Redmi 4 Prime for 4 Days now, and it's FANTASTIC, battery life is way better than Redmi 3S
Can't wait for the Redmi 4 section here at XDA and some developers to get their hands on
Is the design of the sim carrier any better on the 4 than it is on the 3?. The 3 has a poor design which means that you can only use one sim if you want to use a microsd card at the same time. I have an Elephone which has a dual sim and microsd carrier. This is the same size as the redmi 3 design but allows both sims and the microsd to be used simultaneously.

Sorry, your reply is not clear.
Do you mean the same design as the Redmi 3 pro/s? I.E, you can't use both sims and a microsd card at the same time?

Yep.. It's a hybrid slot like the Redmi 3 Pro/S Note 3 Pro...
Use 2 SIMs or one SIM and one MicroSD

What device is better in terms of performance?
Snapdragon 650 vs Snapdragon 430
3GB vs 3GB
32GB vs 32GB
I currently have the Redmi Note 3 Pro but thinking of getting the 3S as I want a smaller phone that fits in my hand better.

There's a price difference first but IMO, RN3 performs better because of the two performance cores out of the six cores, GPU also outperforms the one on 3SP. But, due to the smaller screen size, larger battery and more power efficient processor, 3SP is a good choice.
I bought the 3SP because I prefer phones with screen size less than 5.5 inches, I have medium sized hands plus coming from a 4.7 inch screen (Redmi 2), 5.0 inches seemed like the next best thing because I had some trouble handling the 5.5 inch phone (Moto G4 Plus).
Long story short, if you want a device that lasts longer on battery, smaller screen size and is a bit cheaper, go for 3SP. If you want more power, a bigger screen and a better GPU but is a bit costlier, go for RN3.
Which phone is overall better and which one has better camera?
They're pretty much the exact same device, except the Max 2 has a 1440p screen (versus the Elite's 1080p screen), but the Elite has the better camera (IMX 298 vs. the IMX 230 in the Max 2), and battery (Elite has a 4100mAh battery vs the Max 2's 3100mAh battery).
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8051&idPhone2=8614
IMO the Elite is a better buy because it's cheaper and has better specs overall. 1440p on an LCD screen is kinda worthless. It's only worth it on an AMOLED screen because then you get to use Google's Daydream headset for VR.
But if you care for custom ROM support, the Max 2 is definitely better. The LeEco Pro3 Elite doesn't have official source code out, and instead, sources are taken from the x720 (the standard Pro3 model with the SD821). The Max 2 has official kernel sources from LeEco so ROMs are less buggy compared to the Elite. But it really doesn't make much of a difference as the Max 2's non-Marshmallow ROMs are still buggy. But the Max 2 has a lot more ROMs than the Elite does as of now.
Le max 2 roms take a lot from x720 both have the same future a lot of roms!
I had both and I recommend Le Pro3 Elite, much better battery, camera colors are better too
About roms, Le Pro3 Elite is supported now as 720 is, so, we'll have the same roms of the normal Le Pro3
It looks like Newly launched Realme 2 Pro have a Underclocked QC SD 660 or Overclocked QC SD 636. I checked Mi A2 (SD 660) , Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 ( SD 636) and Realme 2 Pro ( SD660) in CPU-Z and AIDA64 Apps.

Do not fully trust the information provided in 3rd party apps or other websites. Please refer official websites of each particular phone to get the TRUE and CORRECT information about the processors used in them and the clock speeds that they are set to.
The SD660 used in Realme 2 Pro has a ( Original ) clock speed of 2.2 Ghz when Qualcomm makes that chip but the OEM ( Phone Manufacturer ) can tweak and change the clock speeds of the chip as per their strategy when using it in any phone.
For Realme 2 Pro the manufacturer Realme Mobiles has decided to clock the SD660 processor at 2 Ghz. That can be for various reasons depending on Software Optimizations, Battery Optimizations, Or maybe Just for No Reason :silly:
The point is, for an average user or for any user for that matter, it does not matter much. Plus there is a dedicated Artificial Intelligence Engine ( AIE ) which is not present in SD636.
Nowadays the term "Artificial Intelligence" is so wrongly used by every phone manufacturer to promote and sell their new phones to people who do not have any idea about AI in a smartphone. Fact is, there are only FEW countable chips in this world who ACTUALLY have a dedicated AI Engine in them and SD660 which is used in Realme 2 Pro has that Real AI in it.
So....
fully working poco f1 with all bootloader unlocking this that everything
For me the real benefit of SD660 over SD636 is the GPU, which is about 30% faster and that matters A LOT.

Right. GPU is a very important aspect in todays world where we have high end graphics games and apps. And even slight upgrade in GPU makes a notable difference :good:
Hi,
Then Whats the idea about NPU chip in coming new chipset series? Are they both same or is there any big difference?
Thanks!
I'm searching and I can't find the info to see difference between x720 and 727. I see in a video, can it be the only difference that 720 have 2 Sims ? I have a Le Max 2, is this a better model?
The X720 and the X727 are basically the same phone.
X727 : 1 Sim 64GB, 4 GB RAM
X720 : 2 Sims 32/64 GB, 4 GB RAM or 64/128 GB, 6 GB RAM
Everything else is identical : Both have a SnapDragon 821 and a 5.5 Display
Rear camera: 16MP/f2.0/6P Lens/PDAF/CMOS/[email protected]/[email protected]
Front camera: 8MP/f2.2/76.5° wide-angle/1.4μm

Ok, about the first thing I agree (I get 4 hours of battery), about the CPU and GPU always works good to me, but if the Le Pro is better would be an amazing phone

I have the 4/64 I have never seen the 6/64. m I didn't know one existed.
But recently, I have seen the 4/32
Of course it doesn't matter. Its very easy to make a X720 into an X727. All you need to do is use the X727 radio firmware and make a small change to buildprop.
I found Le Pro 3 x720 has single sim. Is it new release? Or seller missing information? It is x727.
