Redmi Note 5 Pro (China variant) question.

Hey guys,
I have the China Redmi Note 5 Pro. Will the official Indian global rom works on the China Redmi Note 5 Pro? Since the camera is slightly different

Yes, I think it'll work but maybe you'll face some bugs in camera.
Maybe some experts in this forums can help you...

Not Sure What My Phone Is

Hi guys!
I know this will sound like a really stupid question, but which is my phone? GearBest, the place where I ordered it, it's calling it Redmi Note 5 but, according to the hardware, appearently is a Note 5 Pro? I'm really lost here. This is the link (https://pt.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_1660528.html?wid=1349303).
Thanks for your help!

Looks like the Global Version Redmi Note 5!

Thanks for the quick answer! But I'm still confused, should I stick to this forum or move to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 forum?

That forum is for the Indian Redmi Note 5, which is a rebranded redmi 5 plus (china). Codename: - VINCE
^^^ That is why Indian's have a Redmi Note 5 Pro
So if your getting WHYRED, stay in these forums.

Yes is it Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Global Version with SD 636

I figure it out by installing Antutu, but does all Redmi Note 5 with dual camera considered as Pro or Whyred?
Chinese or Indian have same Whyred name?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 China/global and Pro share one codename which is WHYRED. China and global version are almost the same (global version supports LTE B4 and B20 and China version doesn't ). Pro version has got different front camera sensor
So whenever You see Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 with dual camera and Snapdragon 636 it's code in WHYRED. If frontal camera is 20Mpx - it's Remi Note 5 Pro. If 12Mpx (or 13Mpx I can't remember) it's China or global. LTE B20 and B4 supported ? Then its global

So the ROMs discussed in this forum (which is technically for the 20mp front sensor model), will work on the Global version too?

This entire forum is dedicated to both RN5Pro and Global RN5, both labeled as WHYRED. So most of the things should work on both, unless it's noted otherwise. The builds (both rom and kernel) are unified, as it was done with OP 3/3T.

confused about 2 note 5 thread

Hi,.
I own a redmi note 5 and naturally I go to thread redmi note 5 / 5 plus. But I notice the code name doesn't match.
Now I confused, should I go to redmi note 5 pro??
If I'm not mistaken my note 5 is code name are Why red right?
But why two same thread on xda redmi note 5?
And what the sidéré ce between note 5 and 5 pro?!
PLS HELP, THX
EDIT : MY NOTE 5 have 636 snapdragon less ram 4 instead of 6 and have B20 4g

China redmi note 5 = global redmi note 5 ≈ Indian redmi note 5 pro( only camera is different)
Global or China redmi 5 plus = Indian redmi note 5

Indian redmi note 5 (single camera ) is Redmi 5 plus in china.
Indian Redmi note 5 pro (dual camera) is Redmi note 5 in china..

Yes I really don't understand all of this complexe and useless name.
If I not mistake, I own a note 5 pro but in France it's call note 5!.
I have dual camera, B20 bandwidth, snapdragon 636.
I read note 5 have snapdragon 625 and less 4g bandwich. Note 5 is only the Indian version and note 5 pro the global.
INo?! I'm going crazy!!?

I think because ReNo5 Pro (india) was released earlier than ReNo5 (CN/golbal)

yeah, just like others said, the naming this time was really confusing.
India : Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred, SD 636)
CN/Global : Redmi Note 5 (whyred, SD 636)
India : Redmi Note 5 (vince, SD 625)
CN/Global : Redmi 5 Plus (vince, SD 625)
so basically, there just 2 versions of Redmi Note 5, Indian version (RN5Pro) and CN/Global version (RN5)
so yeah, this forum is the correct one for your device
just make sure if u wanted to flash custom roms/mods, use the CN/Global version

Coz they released whyred in India way earlier than China and Global. So xda made a placeholder with name Redmi Note 5 Pro. But seems like many global and china users want a separate section....they submitted a request to xda to separate RN5 Pro from RN5 China/Global. If you want to support that, then do so
For me, I'm fine with the name Redmi Note 5 Pro.

correct, but this was 2-3 months ago, can't the section renamed ?
@Ghoul159 i don't believe that the problem is to have different sections for rn5 and rn5pro (the rn5 the world has, not the one for india )
but i believe that the section must renamed to something like Redmi Note 5/5 Pro cause the device is the same (cammera's different) and after the latest roms (i think) they have also all camera's drivers included
the confusing section is the other, the Redmi Note 5/5 Plus , this has to be renamed , to something like Redmi 5 Plus/Note 5 India (sorry but 5 plus is the first released device and also the name is for all countries except india)

The other one is already renamed to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus. I don't know if they do this for pro too. But it's up to xda. And I just that said many global users are wishing to separate RN5 Pro altogether and create a new section for RN5 global/china users coz of slight hardware diff. This is kinda absurd imo. But I support changing name to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro. It's possible only if more users submits a request to xda staff to change the name

Redmin Note 5 or Redmi Note 5 pro ??

Hello,
I am a bit confused about Xiaomi Redmi phones. On the website, there are Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 plus. So, what is the difference with Redmi 5 pro ? It does not exist on the official website : https://www.mi.com/en/redmi-note-5/specs/
This one as exactly the same specs as the Redmi Note 5 pro described on gsmarena : https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_pro-8893.php
It is the same phone ? It's important because i would like to install LineageOS and I really do not know if i can take the redmi 5 pro version, i do not want to have a brick at the end.
Could you help me please by telling me the truth ?
Thanks a lot
PS : I have just checked on the indian Xiaomi website, there is the pro version https://www.mi.com/in/redmi-note-5-pro/, and it's exactly the same as the "non" pro version you can see above, really i am lost !

To set things straight, in India the names of some models are different from the names used globally. In India the snap625, single camera model is named redmi note 5. The snap636, dual camera model is named redmi note 5 pro. Globally the 625, single camera model is named redmi 5 plus and the snap 636, dual camera model is named redmi note 5 (some call it redmi note 5 ai or China). The Indian version of the snap636 model differs from the global version in terms of camera sensors. But every rom, kernel, recovery, mod is made to be used in both because in fact they are the exact same smartphone. People who have the global version often mistakenly choose the 625 model's roms because many forums are related to "redmi note 5" but that's how it is named in India. So what you should look for to be sure is the code name. Snap 636 model is named whyred. The snap625 model is named vince.

Redmi Note 5 AI/Global/China has better camera sensor + aperture
Redmi Note 5 Pro/India better in term of camera compatible with Google Camera

Differences between Redmi note 9 pro (global) and Redmi Note 9 pro max (India)

I have found some differences and if I find more I will update the table below. (This is based of Xiaomi’s claims)
Global - Indian
6 GB - 8 GB Ram Max
16 MP - 32 MP front camera

also price

Yes but it is quite hard to get the difference of the price

Is the max version going to be available in the U.S. or is that just a version for India?

The redmi note 9 pro is the global equivalent of the Redmi Note 9 pro max and the 9s is equivalent of the pro
