My prime was stolen recently, shame as I thought it was a slick phone, need buy another, though considering the 4x instead, it's slightly cheaper, a bit smaller (though still five inch screen), specs are similar, apart from very minor core / cpu differences. Prime HD screen apparently, res'* better though less battery due to this I presume.
Not sure about miui updates 9"etc /Nougat?

I have never used a 4x, any members with your preferences, knowledge and info'* so I make the right choice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Redmi 4x is just a lower budget and less powerfull than redmi 4 prime, but the battery is the same (or better) thant the 4 prime, since is 4100mAh. You can use it with no problems, miui 9 is receveing updates and it's on nougat (not planned to go to oreo tho). And we still do not have official kernel sources (if you are into kernel stuff).

Much thanks.
You think the screen resolution between the 2 makes much difference?
There is a red 5 out, Identical, on nougat, but only a 3000mhp battery.

I read Redmi prime does not update to nougat. Only redx can you confirm this?
