Samsung flagship phones are beast .

Consider what radio bands you need covered. Note 4 has a lot of LTE bands covered across its range where as the Xiaomi doesn't.

Hai to all,
N910G [Indian Version - note 4] has snapdragon where as N9000 [Indian version - note 3] has exynos octa core A15 [1.9ghz] & A7 [1.3ghz]
Now, i've some doubts, hope experts as well as owners of devices here will clear...
1. Note 4 exynos has 64 bit processors, will it be good for future while compared to Snapdragons one???
2. Note 3 Indian version has exynos octa, namely its octa but at a time only 4 cores will active so seems be quad core performance i think...
while in exynos note 4, all cores are active at a time. So, in update wil all cores of note 3 will run at a time??
3. About gpu, Adreno is good or Mali in note 4 variants according to graphics as well as temperature ??
4. i've seen exynos are 20nm & snapdragons are 28nm in note 4, is dis differtiate note 4 variants too much???
5. In India, note 3 [exynos] costs 400$ & note 4 [snapdragon] costs 570$... which will u prefer me to buy [based on exynos & snapdragon & some what price ]???
6. This is not related to Note Devices,
Is high sar value device is good or low value sar device???
lenovo k3 note has 1.6sar at head while note 4 has only 0.3 at head, so which is good for use??
Thanks a lot....
In a big confusion , help me experts and owners..... Thanks again.....
1.Indian variant Note 4 is not 64 bit.It's 32 bit
2.No they'll not enable hmp in the update as Note 3 is a old device
3.Mali has better games compatibility whereas adreno has more fps as per benchmarks.I haven't used exynos Note 4.Yes exynos variants are cooler than sd one
4.Didn't get you
5.Note 4 as its a newer device with android updates,better camera,screen.Although smoothness wise Note 3 is ahead
6.No knowledge about that

Thanks for ur response Rishi....
I know Indian Variant is not 64 bit,
Still samsung didn't publish exynos variants are 64bit capable...
What am asking is is exynos variants are surely 64bit???
If i bought exynos variant from KSA,
may i hav warrenty in India???
Yes samsung chip is 64 bit but they haven't enabled it & you won't get any warranty in India coz chipset is different.You might not be able to get it repaired from samsung even if you want to pay

Looks like same SoC but 3GB RAM, fingerprint scanner, metal body and 4000mah battery. Seems like a worthy upgrade?
I think it will be. But i will wait for the reviews and the price of the chinese resellers
For now the redmi note 3 hasn't got any custom rom or translated rom...
I don't understand why xiaomi created a different rom for the redmi note 3.

Ordered one and gonna checkout, it is pricey now as compared to the advertised pricing, even though buying from a 3rd party store.
But I think redmi note 3 comes without sd card slot and also non removeable battery

Getting the Redmi Note 3 3GB/32GB thru the courier for 235usd this Friday. But, I understand there some software problem which will be rectified these few days before it is shipped. FYI, 2GB/16GB variant is going for 200usd in the black market, now.
Well not much price difference really. If you buy it from china Redmi Note 2 Prime is 1000 RMB and Redmi Note 3 is 1100 RMB

The pros are RAM, Touch ID, And battery. The cons are Removeable Battery, microsd slot and difference of 0,2 ghz per core.
In my opinion, I prefer Redmi Note 2 Prime for now, since for the battery problem with this phone I can just switch to the secondary battery that I bought.

It has no expandable memory, and the 32gb version is much more expensive than the redmi note 2 by now. For me 16gb is not enough for a daily usage. Wish they had decided to put it...
For now ill stay with the 2.

I can't live without external sd.. But the Note 3 is cool!
Why can't they make a phone like that and with sdcard slot + removeable battery. It would be very nice

You'll pay extra for the fingerprint sensor. And the metal doesn't really look that much better. The battery is better but you can't switch it plus no sd port. I bought the RM2 because of the limitations of my Nexus 4, so for me this RM3 is a stepback.
The RM2 was 150€, the RM3 will cost around 200€. That's a bit too much, you can often get a brand flagship phones from 2014 for around 250€ or just get the Oneplus X, Oneplus One or Mi4c. This argument fails of course if the RM3 also gets a better screen, camera and so forth...
Its not worth in Europe. Some retailers are selling more then 60€ the original price point.
I would call an upgrade if it had Helio X20 (3gb wont boost performance) and same redmi note 2 roms

Hey guys, now i'm using s3 i9300....i fed up with s3 due to battery life and shortage of ram ( I heavily debloated the stock rom...still no enough ram )... i want to buy a note device with stylus...i like both note 3 and note 4...I'm from India...so if I buy a note 4 l'll get snapdragon version (N910G) which would suffer badly in gaming performance:crying: ( yes I have seen lags in my friend's note 4 while Gaming )...I'm a heavy user ...I'm thinking of buying note 3 obviously Exynos version(N900) which is Indian Variant....so... Do you guys think It is wise to buy Note 3 in the end of 2015 (December)...I would like to use it for atleast 2 yrs....for me stylus pen is a must...Note 3 or Note 4 ??.....you can even suggest smartphones without s pen also??
Note 3 but not Exynos version .
Get the Note 4 man. Note 3 isn't worth it if you are planning to use a phone for 2 years. I would also get the variant which has better XDA support, if that's SD then SD, if Exynos then Exynos.

yep i can buy note 4 but i play some heavy games and some intense browsing, streaming but snapdragon version of note 4 (N910G- indian variant) lags heavily while playing intense games like asphalt 8 ,mc5, nova 3.....if there is no above issues in note 4...i would have bought it....these above issues made me to worry
note 3 exynos variant would not be better for gaming than snapdragon variant of note 4 in any case
adreno 420 in note 4 can manage about 3-5 fps extra than mali 628 even at quad hd resolution
Plus you would also benefit from faster internal storage and future updates
also adreno 420 can support many extra graphic features than mali 628 to say in simple words
I have used note 4 for gaming and there were no such issues in gaming
gaming in note 3 is good but there are many more options at this price range which are much better gaming opitons

firstly i cannot recommend note 3 for the simple fact that it would no longer receive any software support from samsung.Also raw multitasking(not multi window) like opening and switching between apps is very poor compared to nexus devices. Gaming is good but not great on note 3.I doubt it will be able to play new titles smoothly.
I am a hardcore mobile gamer and I can say that if you want a quad hd device that is good for gaming(good and consistent fps) then you should look at a good snapdragon 810 device , or exynos 7420. No other chipset will give you good gaming performance at quad hd.
other devices that you could look at would be oneplus 2, s6, nexus 5x,6p

Hi may I ask whats the difference between GALAXY NOTE 4 (EXYNOS) or GALAXY NOTE 4 (SNAPDRAGON)????????
Which one is the better version to buy?
Two are with different chipset, two different processors, both CPU and GPU. Some might say Exynos is faster in benchmarks and all, and its true too, but Snapdragon is the one with better XDA support I think. So choose according to your preference.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...marks-Snapdragon-805-vs-Exynos-7-Octa_id63111
can any one else comment on this which has better for xda support?
Which one has android 6?
I see alot support for Snapdragon but what about the N910F this has dual sim not sure if its has alot support here.
NERVERMIND LOL
I have owned both. The difference I noticed was the F version ran hotter and the battery did not last as long as the C version. I am now using N910C.
It is generally mentioned that the F version had more rom and kernels because it has snapdragon processor. I never rooted my device yet as I use Knox, so I cannot comment on dev. support. You can browse the subforums and see for yourself. Good luck.
Snapdragon by far. Just look at the development section as far as custom roms go. Way more selections for snapdragon
Hi All,
Thanks for coming to the post. I know this is not a review website, but I could not find the solution anywhere else. I need your help in choosing my next phone. I am deciding between Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro ($350) and Xiaomi RedMi Note 3 ($200). I know the price difference between them is somewhat unjustifiable, but I am choosing between mid-rangers from Xiaomi and Samsung. Now I have a few points to make so that I can have a proper explanation.
Before starting, just FYI, I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Xiaomi MI4. My father has a RedMi Note 3 and my sister has a RedMi Note 4. Beside these, I have used many phones from Samsung and other manufacturers as well. So I fairly know how good phones both manufacturers produce.
1) Galaxy A9 Pro in India comes with S652 chipset flanking 4GB RAM and 32 gigs of storage. RedMi Note 3, on the other hand, is available with S650 chipset having 3GB RAM and 32 GB storage. While the specs are in favour of Galaxy A9 Pro, why RedMi Note 3 has upper hand in most benchmarks? If it is because of TouchWiz, does it lags horribly?
2) A (very) few people, including GSMArena, mentioned a kind of screen flicker in Galaxy A9 while in low brightness. Any explanations on that? Does Galaxy A9 Pro suffers from same issues?
3) In a dual sim phone, if my first SIM is 4G/VoLTE based (Reliance JIO), what would be the supported network on 2nd (GSM, 3G or 4G) ? I have heard that 2nd SIM stays in 2G. Is that true for both the phones? I have also heard that RedMi Note 3 supports 3G in secondary slot.
4) Galaxy A9 Pro misses out the Gyro Sensor. Apart from VR, what else I'll be missing out if I opt for Galaxy A9 Pro? Also, what is the cost range for a decent VR box (I am poor)?
5) Do you knoy any video or website link where I can see a thorough overview of Galaxy A9 Pro UI? There are certain features I like in the ROM itself, and I do not want to root the new galaxy on day one. Fortunately all of them are available in MIUI, but I need to see someone's Galaxy A9 Pro. (App lock, Headsup notification disable, inbuilt data saver etc)
6) How good is the battery backup for Galaxy A9 Pro?
7) Samsung recently discontinued Galaxy A9 Pro in India due to which, the price has fallen from almost $500 to $350. What could be the reason behind it? Is there any production fault?
8) Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro is available for $350, Xiaomi RedMi Note 3 is available for $200. Considering all of my requirements and situation, should I spend $150 more for Galaxy A9 Pro?
Is there a nifty alternative for Second Space or Dual Apps from MIUI? Parallel space is a fairly poor adware, and even if I buy it for $3, it is a resource hog. Any recomendations?
Thanks for your time and input.
Have a great time ahead.
P.s. Mi Max Prime is too big for me.
#Cheers

I think the more important is : Do you want paid 150$ for toucwiz and what design you prefer ...
And touchwiz is nice now. No samsung doesn't have second space like MIUI and idk a good alternative
1. I have heard that this phone comes in 4G+2G connectivity. Redmi Note 3/4 on the other hand comes with 4G+3G connectivity. Is this an important thing to consider, because if I am using internet from first SIM, the second SIM will only be used for calls. So should I be worried about this thing?
2. Can I select 3G/2G on first SIM and 4G on second SIM without changing the cards?
