I currently owns a redmi note 4, Indian version

the hardware is great.

price is good,

but the software it's literally a spyware/adware, even after removing all the chinese crapware and preinstall adware from the stock rom there are still trying to send my data back to there chinese server,since removing some of there system app will crash the stock rom

So if you are thinking of using stock rom, your privacy is at great risk.

You might want to flash a custom rom. LineageOS is quite popular these days.
