Not with the charger you get in the box (regular 2A), SoC support QC fast changing 3.0.

It’s a pore looser compared to both regular RN4 and RN3 SD & then again they also lose compared to the Max Prime (3/64 GB) when we talk about price point of 200$ & Xiaomi.

You lose at least 33% performance on both CPU & GPU side. Their battery story is a bullshit one look at the RN3 vs R4 Prime results from independent reviews (RN4 SD can only be worser thanks to bigger display). It’s balanced alright but pale to NR3 SD. As the Lenovo slashed price for Zuk Z2 Pro (around 212$) in India their you have a new performance/futures/cost champion for the market & Xiaomi doesn’t have anything to offer in return at the moment. Both NR4 are on down side compared to NR3 SD & certainly won’t sell half that good.

I used Max for its price, SoC (S652), 2.5D display and gorila glass for a comparation & it’s huge 6.44 with huge battery & they menage to put all of that for 200$ (3/64GB Prime S652 model). So you see its perfectly possible to achieve that at that price point without serious price cutting futures. & if it’s possible with such a huge device it is even more possible on a smaller one.

My opinion is based on facts!

Yours again on your own imaginary world & not something typical nor usual.

33% slower means actually that it achieves 50% less performance which is significant no matter how you try to put it.

Z2 Pro price in India:

I wouldn’t call the Redmi 4 Prime SOT of 10h much of a achievement compared with Max 11+h wile being 33% slower & having 30% smaller display aria.

Somehow you deliberately seem to miss the point so I won’t argue with someone spearheaded & not capable of critical thinking as you.

The 625 is about 70-80% performance of the Snapdargon 650

I don’t think anyone needs to consider Zuk Z2 as competition in India with the kind of reviews it has on Amazon here. That kind of bad publicity is hard to clear.

I used the Redmi 4 Prime and the Redmi Note 3 Pro. The 3 Pro excels in EVERYTHING to the 4 Prime, even battery if they are on Cyanogen.

Also, the Snapdragon 650 is the requiered minimun processor if you want to emulate a heavy console like Gamecube or the PSP.

It’s a same camera as on the MTK version & worser than one on RN3 SD.

Let me elaborate; in the last years batch thei used the 16MP Samsung 3rd gen ISO Cell sensors with 1㎛ size & now they are using Sony 13MP ones with 1.12 ㎛ size. We can say how Sony’s one is plane common & usually found in smartphones for years. If tuned good the Samsung one will win in every metric (had a Samsung phone with both 8MP sensors), ih tuned equally pore Samsung one will still win & besides you still have 3MP extra. Drove conclusions your self. SoC is not much more power efficient as all RF elements (cellular radio, WiFi, BT, GPS & cetera) still employ (are printed) on old 28 nm planar process because FinFET is not suitable for analogue nor mixed digital analogue components. Basically CPU and GPU are only on the FinFET. We won’t see much of a progress regarding general power efficiency until the RF designs are more widely spread based on FD-SOI all do Samsung have 28nm FD-SOI fully running & foundry available QC didn’t even tried to use it. So far as my knowledge goes we only have one Sony GPS module based on it. Other than that Globefonders 22nm FD-SOI is expected to see first product based on it in the second half of 3rd Quarter of this year commercially available (probably even the end of the year when they meet required manufactured volumes). Besides display will still stay biggest power consumer.

Redmi Note 4 SD is probably biggest disappointment in Xiaomi’s history & they brought it to them self as the RN3 SD whose a big step up in performance department.

At least one of the two would end into a OK scenario.

Or even Dual Camera or NFC would be welcome.

Different CPU, SD 652 got 2x Cortex A72 (and 4x ARM Cortex-A53) against the SD 625 (all ARM Cortex-A53). The first one outperform the second, also same situation about GPU. Doesnt base your choice on this because Max is also a totally different size, so different usage.
