    Hello.
    As for the topic of what smartphone to buy at the beginning I say that I was wondering Xiaomi Redmi 4x or LG G3, I only have doubts about it, namely it is quite old for over 3 years but the price and specification are tempting.
    I am looking for a phone with:
    1.Nowy
    2.Android
    3.Display 5-6 inches.
    4. will be used for: movies, games, social media, etc.
    5. I care most about:
    - performance
    - battery
    - possibly a display,
    6. budget up to PLN 600
    And the second thing is what processors are better 1.3 GHz and 8 cores or 2.5G h and 4 cores, I suspect 2.5G h ?

    PLN 600 is the average shelf, I have two LG Spirit LTE and LG K10 Dual sim.
    Both are working properly and new are at this price limit.
    The first 4 cores, the second 8 the big difference in performance can not be seen beyond the size of the display. And the battery keeps for a maximum of 2 days in both.
    Here you have a GSM comparator.

    In this price amount ONLY Xiaomi. Sorki for protectionism, but this brand smashes all at this price. I already have another, one went as a gift. Niuniu, I don't drink to you, but I have one rule that I have. NEVER Lg. Yes, TV - no strong phone numbers. LG phones are beautiful and functional at the time of purchase. Then it's a nuisance - I don't want to write a life story ;-) When I took the phone the first thought - wow, Lg. Cool fast. But I took the risk Xiaomi and I DO NOT regret it. Fast, efficient, hideous in a case. For this light. The battery is average. Well, maybe not the worst. I had BB Z 30 and gave up, because it became a medieval fona. I still have Q5 - I will come back to it as an emergency. As for the question, which one? I considered Motka, but Xiaomi won :-) Reason says - ONLY Xiaomi.

    Everyone has their own opinion and I will say so non-disposable telephones are for me without a future.
    As for LG Spirit, it has been on the ground a dozen or so times and it still works after breaking up for more than a year, it has fallen out of me a lot of times, as you can see on the photo you don't want to finish off.
    I still have him and I call him because if he works I won't throw him away and it doesn't bother me.
    Pros are: a removable battery, cheap, light, neat, holds well in your hand, has everything you need to be happy, fast as for this cash register, and what if a display with a frame in a well-known auction site costs less than PLN 90.
    And everyone will exchange it because it is no philosophy.
    And I've already had phones glued for almost 2,000 and I saw my friends fall out of their hands it was crying and lamenting (Oh Jesus!).

    Do not compare this LG with Xiaomi Redmi 4x because it is a completely different performance shelf. In addition, on 4x I have a SOT after 10h and on LG when you reach 5h it is max. I had both of these phones so I know what I'm saying.

    The phone should not irritate the user :-) The normal situation is draining the battery. Although Xiaomi surprised me, it holds 2 to 3 days which is a good result when using it - LTE, net, GPS, I don't play, I don't watch movies. Weak camera compared to Blackberry. But it is fast and LG, for example, is a snail. At least the ones I had. Non-replaceable batteries are the norm now. The phone is not to be repaired - if it breaks, a new one will be bought. These are the trends. Repair time is slowly coming to an end.

    I agree on Xiaomi :) but unfortunately when it comes to the camera it is not their strong point ...
    But these phones make up for their powerful performance and battery :) and a specification that is very good at such a price.

    I recommend Mgsm and Versus websites, I can compare phones there :)
    And when it comes to performance, you can go to the Benchmark website, there is a top list of fast phones, you can also compare on this page
    But I leave the question of loyalty to benchmarks to you :)

    Did you check Media Expert? Now they have a nice action with an extended order pickup time. When it comes to price, it depends on what you pay attention to, but something interesting can already be found.

    I had the same dilemma but I hesitated a little Xiaomi and I chose Galaxy J5 2016, battery without stretching 2 to 3 days and what is important for me in this version replaceable. Metal telephones frame, plastic flap.
    Super amoled display and importantly system updates so far, android 7.1.1.

FAQ

TL;DR: Under PLN 600, Redmi 4X delivers about 10h SOT; "a completely different performance shelf" versus comparable LG models. Choose it for movies, games, and battery. [Elektroda, lukaszd82, post #17108515]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps budget Android shoppers pick a fast, long‑lasting phone and understand trade‑offs like camera and repairability.

Quick Facts

Which is better under PLN 600 for movies and games: Redmi 4X or an older LG?

Owners favor Redmi 4X. One user called it “a completely different performance shelf” than LG. They saw about 10 hours SOT on Redmi 4X versus roughly 5 hours on LG. For media and casual gaming, the 4X offers stronger performance and endurance. [Elektroda, lukaszd82, post #17108515]

How long does Redmi 4X battery last in daily use?

Reports show 2–3 days per charge with LTE, internet, and GPS enabled. The user did not play games or watch films then. Expect shorter life with continuous video or gaming. [Elektroda, keseszel, post #17109254]

What’s the real screen‑on time (SOT) difference between Redmi 4X and similar LG phones?

One owner measured around 10 hours SOT on Redmi 4X. The same person reached about 5 hours on their LG. That gap matters for heavy browsing and socials. [Elektroda, lukaszd82, post #17108515]

Is the camera on budget Xiaomi good enough for social media?

Owners note the camera isn’t Xiaomi’s strong point at this price. Expect acceptable results, not flagship quality. These models compensate with solid performance, long battery life, and good specs. [Elektroda, poprostunick123, post #17109576]

Does core count matter more than clock speed (1.3 GHz 8‑core vs 2.5 GHz 4‑core)?

Judge processors by benchmarks, not core counts alone. Use rankings and side‑by‑side comparisons to see real performance differences. Try Benchmark, mgsm, and Versus to compare specific chips and phones. [Elektroda, poprostunick123, post #17109620]

Are there phones with a replaceable battery under PLN 600?

Yes. A user chose Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 for its replaceable battery and 2–3 days runtime. It has a metal frame, plastic back, and a Super AMOLED display. They also reported updates to Android 7.1.1. [Elektroda, MoniTOX, post #17646211]

Are non‑replaceable batteries the norm now, and what’s the downside?

One owner stated, “Non‑replaceable batteries are the norm now.” They added, “The phone is not to be repaired—if it breaks, a new one will be bought.” Expect higher replacement costs and fewer DIY options. [Elektroda, keseszel, post #17109254]

How durable is the LG Spirit, and how cheap is a screen swap?

An owner dropped their LG Spirit many times and it still worked after a year. They highlighted a removable battery and comfortable handling. A screen with frame cost under PLN 90, and the swap felt easy. [Elektroda, niuniu7, post #17108454]

Is Xiaomi noticeably faster than LG at this price point?

Several comments favor Xiaomi’s speed. One user summed it up: “ONLY Xiaomi” at this price. They called their previous LG “a snail” and praised Xiaomi as fast, efficient, and light. [Elektroda, keseszel, post #17108443]

Can I get Super AMOLED at this price?

Yes. The Galaxy J5 2016 includes a Super AMOLED display. The same owner reported long battery life and updates to Android 7.1.1. [Elektroda, MoniTOX, post #17646211]

How can I quickly compare phones before buying?

Try this 3‑step check:
  1. Open a benchmark ranking to gauge performance tiers.
  2. Compare specs side‑by‑side on mgsm.
  3. Cross‑check deltas on Versus, then match to your needs. [Elektroda, poprostunick123, post #17109620]

Is PLN 600 enough for a new Android with decent performance?

Yes. One user called PLN 600 the “average shelf” and cited new LG Spirit LTE and LG K10 Dual within budget. Both worked properly with up to two days battery life and mainly differed in display size. [Elektroda, niuniu7, post #17108435]

Where should I look for live deals in Poland?

Check chain promos like Media Expert. A user noted an action with extended pickup time and interesting prices during that period. [Elektroda, ptak12, post #17646063]

What update level can I expect on older budget models?

Expect updates up to a point. The Galaxy J5 2016 owner reported Android 7.1.1 and continuing updates at the time. [Elektroda, MoniTOX, post #17646211]

What does SOT mean, and why does it matter?

SOT means screen‑on time, a practical battery endurance metric. Here, Redmi 4X hit about 10 hours SOT, while a comparable LG managed roughly 5 hours under the same owner. [Elektroda, lukaszd82, post #17108515]
