As the title says, I am interested in buying the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X (New, not used), but the thing is, I am a complete noob/scrub/ignorant when it comes to smartphones.
Also, (and this may surprise you) this will be the first time I'll actually own a smartphone. Yes its strange, unusual, whatever. After you are finished making fun of me (which is fine and perfectly acceptable), can you give me your honest opinions?
The problem is, that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X looks really good on paper. And I mean really REALLY great! Where other brands (Samsung, Sony, etc) offer a quad-core (4 cores) CPU with 2 or 3 GB of RAM and 16GB or 32GB of Storage, Xiaomi offers a deca-core (10 cores) CPU with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of Storage, all for just under 200 Euros (197 E).
It seems like an amazing deal, but the thing is, Xiaomi arent exactly.....Samsung or Apple, if you know what I mean. From what I've gathered, Made in China, cheaply made, and I am worried that it might also feel cheap and have issues as well.
To make matters worse, there are so many variations of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, that its almost impossible to choose from!
For example:
Do I need a 64 or a 32 GB version?
Do I get the Mediatek or the Snapdragon version? (I know the Mediatek is 10-core, and that its supposedly faster, but also heats up more and uses more battery)
Do I get the Note 4 High Edition, or the 4x?
- What the hell Xiaomi, throw me a bone! I simply cant choose from all of this, its so confusing!!!
Anyway, here it is:
1. My budget is very limited. 200 Euros max, and I live in Greece.
2. I will mainly be playing games on the smartphone, listening to music (often while playing games), and of course the standard web-browsing, reading Tom's articles, etc
3. I intend to keep the phone for a loooong time. This isnt just me casually buying this, money is short, and I wont be able to just buy a new phone in a couple of months if this one turns out to be disappointing.
So what are your thoughts?
I am looking for opinions on the Xiaomi, as well as advice and opinions about other phones as well.
Is the Xiaomi a poor choice?
If you are an owner of a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, I especially want to hear your opinion on it.
Thank you
