Which one, leeco le pro 3 or xiaomi Mi 5s plus?

I have to get rid of my phone and buy a new one in the next 2 weeks, I won't upgrade anytime soon so it has to be a SD821. which one of those two do you guys recommend and why?

As i can see, 5.5" size is important for you. In your position i go for OnePlus 3T.
Mi5s Plus, is a no go for me, that dual camera it's even worst than Mi5 camera because it's to much dependable of image algorithm where Xiaomi sucks.
It has oled 5.5", SD821, dash charge that it's better than QC 3.0 and super community support.
If Size was not important, all the way to Mi5s (not plus).

My vote goes for either Mi 5s Plus or Oneplus 3T. I think the software is better on the 3T (better international translations).

Mi 5s or Mi 6 which one to buy now

Dear All,
Please I need your suggestions as I am confused between Mi 6 & Mi 5s.
Whose camera is better? And which one is best for gaming.
The price for both are as below
Mi 5s - 250 USD
Mi 6- 350 USD
Thanks to All

Camera - Mi 5s
Performance/Gaming - Mi 6.
Read some reviews of 5s and 6 and choose what suits for you.

Mi6 looks good and performs better in performance and battery. for 100$ I would buy the new one.
But I have mi5s and I wont buy mi6 , its not a good upgrade for me.
Try to get both of them in your hand.
Also mi6 is very heavy, compared to mi5s

I would not buy a phone that does not have a jack for the headphones .... (srry for my English)

Neither get a Oneplus 5T,the Mi5s i got last Dec is still on MM no sign of even a stable Global Nougat build.

Of course if you can get mi 6. It is better in everything except the price.

Ya me to think mi 6 is better, some people saying that mi 5s has better camera sensor imx 378, same used in google pixel

I have both 5s and 6. Here are some Pro/Cons for each. Please note that I have the 4GB variant of the 5s, so if you get the 3GB, performance may vary.
5s
Better front/back Camera
Google Camera Mod
Official LineageOS Support
Lighter and a feels a bit more narrow
Headphone Jack
Finger print reader is not as good
Mi 6
Front camera is worse
Back camera is good but GoogleCamera mod has an issue with focus/switching HDR on/off everytime
Portrait mode is pretty nice and has OIS where the Mi5s does not
Feels a little quicker than the 5s (821 vs 835)
Fingerprint reader is much better than 5s
Mi 6 is heavy(some people like this, some dont)
Honestly, my only complaint with the Mi 6 is the front camera and focus being bugged with the GoogleCamera mod. Hopefully that gets fixed somehow...
Please note I do not play any games, so I cannot expand on that.
Also, just my personal opinion, but I think its hard to find the 5s in black anymore. (I prefer the all black)

Thanks for such a detailed comparison, I already own a mi 5 & I am satisfied with it, another phone I need to buy for my wife, I guess the camera of mi 5s is better ( only my opinion)
And also I can save 100 bucks, and it will solve the purpose I hope, any idea if Mi 5s is supporting JIO VOLTE network in India?

Sorry, not sure. VoLTE works here in Japan.
If you are not looking to flash ROMs and installing mods, the Mi 6 is probably a better overall phone. It will also have better/longer support. (Android Oreo) is being rolled out in alpha/beta now.
I think the Mi 6 with 4GB RAM is a little cheaper too.

10/10 you should buy Mi6 if you have the budget, its worth w/ the price. Considering the spec.

Best phone to upgrade to from Mi5/MI5S?

I've had an MI5 for a couple years and the screen is cracked and close to dying. I was thinking of buying an MI5S as a replacement but feel like I could get a better phone as it's TOO similar to my trusty MI5 even.
My specific, additional criteria includes it being similarly sized (height/thickness) to the MI5/MI5S (to fit my mobile phone holder). After searching GSMArena, it returned around 8 phones. Most of them were cheap phones that were also released in 2016. The one exception was the original Google Pixel. The spec seems similar to the MI5/MI5S but the fingerprint scanner on the back is a deal breaker. So with that, I'd be prepared to open up the choice of phones a bit more. It must be able to run LineageOS and still be getting updates (future releases are never guaranteed, I understand). Any recommended phones (or just get the MI5S)?

I would go for the newer Mi6, because it has an optical image stabilizer like the Mi5, which the Mi5s sadly lacks.
The Mi6 also has a way faster CPU than the Mi5s. Don't forget, the Mi5s is now nearly 2 years old.

Indeed, price difference is minimal, so go with better options like the Mi6. Mi Note 3 and Mi Mix 2 are also friendly priced recently.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I didn't consider the Mi6 and a few other Xiaomi phones becasuse I was using an old GSMarena saved search where I specified band 28 had to be in the phone, but I don't actually need that band now.
Aaargh, the Mi6 (and upcoming 6X), Mi Note 3 and Mi Mix 2 all don’t have headphone jacks (the headphone adapters aren’t going to cut it)! Curse you Apple. We knew it was coming, I guess. They’re all a similar size to my old phone at least and fit the phone holder as well.
Mi Mix 2 looks like it will get updated for some time but that's starting to get heavy (185 g/6.53 oz) too:
https://www.lineageosrom.com/2018/01/xiaomi-devises-getting-android-p.html
The Nokia 8 actually looks very good value with same CPU as the Mi Mix 2 (and similar weight) but with the headphone jack, but the Lineage devs are waiting on the bootloader to be unlockable for that.
I think I’ll have to wait. At least I have a better idea of what I’m looking for. Would be nice if the stats.lineageos.org site showed the newer phones’ popularity/trend in another table.

Mm, you have a point there. The Mi Note 2 or the original Mi Mix maybe? The upcoming Redmi Note 5 (with the SD636) is also promising to be a good deal. Otherwise some Nubia (Z17 lite for instance) and maybe even LeTV phones with a custom ROM might be worth a look (although I'm not sure about the build quality from LeTV). Just check the XDA thread of the device beforehand and always stick to Qualcomm processors as Mediatek gives crap support to both producers and ROM developers.

Thanks for those. Mi Note 2 and orignial Mi Mix are a bit old (hey, one of the earlier posts has made me only look at 2017 or later phones). The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro phone is a bit heavy at around 180gm (my 64gb Mi5 is 129gb).
The LeTv/LeEco phnoe have two, more-recent releases that look reasonable but from those the LeEco Le Pro3 Elite has the same chipset as my Mi5 and the LeEco Le Pro 3 AI Edition has a Mediatek chipset (taking your advice on ruling out phones with those).
The Zubia Z17 lite looks a decent option (168gms is getting up there is weight) but just saw its finger print scanner is rear-mounted too.
Will keep looking!

On the 24. April Xiaomi will present the new Mi 6X. Details so far unknown, but will probably be the successor of the Mi 6.

No separate 3.5mm/headphone jack. Looks nice though. I refuse to get wireless earphones or use any dongle. I bought some nice wired earphones not too long ago.
Sounds like the Mi7 might be out sometime this year too (but, again, probably won't have a 3.5mm/headphone jack).

Question about "Pro" version

Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new phone, which I want to buy is a good phone, with lots of development and good compatibility with Gcam, so I found the two best options. One of them is the Xiaomi MI A1, and the other is this phone (Redmi Note 5) and here come two questions.
The first one:
This store is from Colombia (I'm from Colombia) and I don't know if this is the "pro" version, but I figured it was.
http://www.losdistribuidores.com/productos/xiaomi/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-caracteristicas
The second one:
Do you recommend MI A1 or Note 5 and why?
Thank you!

First, it's probably the Pro version. There's some confusion about that because of the difference between the Chinese and Indian markets. The Indian RN5 Pro is the same as the global RN5, and the Indian RN5 is the Redmi 5 Plus Global. So if you are buying RN5 out of India, it is the global version that has the codename whyred. It's a bit confusing, but do not worry about it. You will be buying the correct version.
Second: The RN5 is better than the A1, speaking in technical terms. It has a better processor and more battery, just not sure about the cameras. (But the RN5 is very good for the price). The A1 has USB type-C and the RN5 micro USB.

Really thanks!

It's more likely the global version of the RN5[WHYRED] going by camera specs, the version with the Pro extension is only sold in India!

This is the correct info. The SOC of the RN5 is vastly improved, more than the small step in numbering suggests. You speak about A1 Antutu 75,000 vs. RN5 Antutu 118,000, the difference also can be felt in immediatly.
Further, the Redmi Note 5 primary camera lens is an f1.9, the Pro version and the A1 is a f2.2 (same sensor). People would nautrally associate the moniker Pro with an upgrade version but Xiaomi seems to have a different opinion.
There was someone on Youtube making a camera comparison in between the RN5 and the RN5 Pro. The difference in low light conditions is huge, thanks to the combination of bigger pixel size and lower f stop value. It approached in some lighting coditions the camera of the S8.

right i forgot about apperture LOL.. but yes i think AI is better at low light but pro takes better pictures.. anyways he should be getting the AI.

Thanks to all of you! I decided to buy the RN5, because it has a better processor, a good camera (I think the A1 camera is a little better, but this is still good), but especially because of the great battery.
