I am unsure if the note 5 pro forums are right for my phone as I have the redmi note 5 (not pro) m1803e7sg with 3GB RAM,
the ram and storage seems to me being the only major difference, so are ROMS compatible?
if not, is there another forum for my model?
If it has sdm636 its redmi note 5 pro/Global/AI/Whyred
As long as your phone using Sd 636
It the same device
or dual camera its the same whyred.

I just saw in cpu-z it has the qualcom snapdragon sdm636, so I am good? I know for my previous samsung phone there were varieties within same models that would make it incompatible with certain roms
So I've red some more, is it correct that my device is the whyred version? I believe it is redmi note 5 global
Yes the PRO and Global use the same ROMs. Even for official MIUI ROMs. I also have the same model number because I have the global model as well but 4GB RAM with 64GB storage option. As long as the codename is whyred it'll work just fine. I know Xiaomi's model naming can be really confusing. The ROMs on this forum will work on your device.

Hey, yes it is. I have it and I've flashed a lot of roms like Havoc or PE. In Europe the redmi note 5 pro is just called redmi note 5. You have the global version btw. (B20 working on this model).
Hi guys, no idea if there are still active people here but I have a redmi note 5 (3gb RAM, SDM660, model M1803E7SG. So same as above but with SDM660 instead of 636. Will these roms work for this model as well?

Yes, it should work. The Snapdragon 636 and 660 are very similar, so some apps may display it as sdm660. Whyred ROMs will work on your device.
Good day,
I have this radio in my car
aliexpress.com/item/32866279122.html
version with 8 core and 2 GB RAM. Now I have Android 8.1 there and is there a new version?
8 core AllWinner - ROM 32 GB - DDR3 2 GB
I have a Redmi Note 8T 3GB/32GB bought in the UK - but there's only about 20GB free - looks like MIUI eats up 10GB - I was wondering if I was to install a custom ROM would I gain back much of that 10GB? if so how much?
No. 4/64 consumes at least 13GB on custom ROM. So big NO!

System partition is separated from DATA, so any rom you install would not change the free space
Hi, I just want to ask quick question.
Guides here mention, a lot of (riva) model, but I have, MDG6 model that says in device.
But the phone is 16GB variant, Redmi Note 5A
