Everyone still using this as their daily driver?

I just busted the screen and looking for an alternative.
The Xiaomi Note Redmi 4X while only being 5.5inches and an IPS screen, has roughly the same spec and I can get it for around 150USD at the moment.
Any other recommendations as I think I want a phone I can manage more easily in public.
I'll still use the Honor Note 8 at home for streaming videos and such as the cracks aren't luckily on the viewable area.

Xiaomi Mi Max or Mi Max 2
For long battery life Lenovo P2

Redmi Note 4X is enough for daily use, been superb in battery life here, especially if you have rooted and unlocked bootloader. Check our XDA Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon section, very large community and many devs supports, so much ROM you can choose. So much supports you can rely on if you like customizing things.
But if you have a little more budget you can take Lenovo P2, same specs but better display (AMOLED), Gorilla Glass, Battery monster and support fast charging. It's very reliable phone for daily use I think

Cheers guys, 4X looks solid as a budget phone and the P2 looks great with the extra battery and better screen. Just need to figure out if those features are worth double the price.

Just bought the Redmi 4X MTK 4GB version...
Quite dissapointed compared to the Honor Note 8 even though they are roughly the same gen spec.
Performance: Redmi lags opening a variety of apps, Note 8 is still snappy since the day I bought it
Interface: MIUI has no multi-browser support, seems clunky and lacking in options, EMUI is comprehensive and feature rich
Bluetooth: Redmi disconnects on occasion, Note 8 has never
Battery: Redmi drains from 100% to 0% in 8-9hours!, Note 8 lasts 24hours+ - 4100mAh vs 4500mAh, no comparison
Heat: Redmi sitting at 42C, Note 8 at 32C while both are charging, Redmi feels hot even when screen is off, Note 8 always seems cool
I'm looking to get my Note 8 screen fixed and sell the 4X. Only thing I like is the black on black and smaller foot print. Everything, and I mean everything else is better on the Honor Note 8.

The Redmi Note 4X has a Snapdraon 625 - are you sure it is a Mediatek SoC (i.e. the Helio X20), as this should only be present in the Chinese Note 4?
I have owned both the Helio X20 Note 4, Redmi Note 4X SD625 and Redmi Note 4 Global SD625 and battery life has been above average (X20) to fantastic (SD625) on these devices.

You might want to wait a few months to see what kind of developer support the Note 5 Pro gets.
As for the Note 5 ("Vince"), there is hardly any point ditching the Mido for it - it is apparently only a rebranded version of last year's China Redmi 5 Plus, and the main difference between it and Mido is its bigger screen.

I don't think that I myself, need to upgrade to Note 5 or even Pro because its not that much differences to our Note 4. This device is already a beast for low budget phones. But if you ask me for upgrades, I prefer to change to either Mi Note 2, Mi Mix, or the most realistic middle low budget yet powerful: Mi 5 series.
I mean, the 820+ processor is sexy.
And its my dream as I am a hard gamer.

which should i buy zenfone max pro m1 or redmi note 5 pro.

as both (6gb) were listed at 7000 at refurbished i need to know which one to buy for flashing custom roms and playing games while a one day battery backup with gcam as my main photography app.
if you know which one to buy please suggest since both are around same price

Just my opinion
--> Photography - Redmi note 5 pro is using Sony sensor while M1 pro is using
Omnivision sensor
-> Battery - M1 pro is using a beefy 5000mAh running on stock android Pie while Redmi note 5 pro has only 4000 mAh running on MIUI
-> Both has the same metal body
-> Both is running Snapdragon 636
-> Both has 5.9 IPS display (18:9)
-> Both has active devs for custom rom and kernel developments
Reason to buy Asus Zenfone M1 Pro - Stock Android, impressive 5000 mAh battery
Reason to buy Redmi Note 5 Pro - Sony sensor for better Photograph results, MIUI
In the end It's your call sir which phone will make you happy :good::good:

bought max pro m1 for the battery thanks

Note 20 Ultra vs OnePlus 8 Pro

So I know this will not be a popular opinion, but I received my Note 20 Ultra today and I am not sure I like it more than my OnePlus 8 Pro. I also have a Note 10 plus and when I got the 8 pro I noticed that I used it more than the Note. I know there is a lot going around about the 8 Pro screen, but I guess I am one of the lucky ones. My screen to me is awesome. The sized is a little slimmer than the Notes and a little easier to hold in the hand. Has anyone elses moved from a 8 Pro to a 20 Ultra? What are your thoughts?

If I didn't rely on my s-pen and camera so much, I'd probably own a OnePlus 8 Pro.

I own both phones along with a note 10 plus and temporarily an s20 ultra (until it gets traded in). I would say the OnePlus 8 pro is a marvelous phone. With the addition of the AOD with the latest update it is essentially perfect. I moved to the Note 20 ultra as my primary phone mostly because of the superior multitasking, more storage (yes I need it) and the flexibility of wireless DEX. People say the OnePlus phones "feel" faster but I honestly could never tell the difference.

I had OnePlus 7T for last 6 months, had 8 Pro for a week and now have Note20 Ultra for lat 3 days...I would say 8 Pro is better phone overall (not considering Camera and S Pen)...Software on 8 Pro is lot better than Note20 in my honest opinion..palm rejection on Note20 sucks for me...I still love Note20 screen and design and I am going to keep it until 8T pro comes...I wish they tone down the curved screen on 8T Pro..I didn't like the curve on 8 Pro...

My plan as a OPPO Product Ambassador

I am honored to be selected as an OPPO Product Ambassador!
Now OPPO Find X5 Pro is coming to my home, and I'll review hardware, software, game performance, and camera performance.
I also purchased a 50W AirVOOC charger and cooling case at my own expense, and I would like to introduce the usability of those accessories.
Feel free to let me know if there is anything you would like me to try.
