Redmi Note 6? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi
I had bought the Redmi Note 5 global version, but lost it since I was mugged. Now I wanted to order a new one since I really liked the one that got stolen from me. But I got thinking, since Xiaomi loves to release new devices very often, is there a Redmi Note 6 coming soon? I'd sure hate to buy the Note 5 only for the Note 6 to come after it with better specs and design.
Thanks!
Edit: Doesn't have to be a new phone from the Note series, any Xiaomi phone that will have a SD SoC, and preferably the same size battery of 4000 mAh. I don't really care much about camera.

Redmi 6 Pro is available. Notched with 5.84" display and 4000maH battery. SD 625 as usual. Check it out.

This one slipped from me! It looks great tbh, apart from the chin and the notch. I've never had a phone with SD 625, is it noticeably slower than 636 on the note 5?

No difference at all during general usage like playing light games,watching videos and such.
The game loading time will be a little more than rn5 pro.

yap , sd625 slower in big difference than sd636 , but sd625 more battery friendly. suggest you keep on redmi note 5 pro or wait for mi max 3 .

There is a difference.
It is Redmi 6, that is replacing the old Redmi 5 series aka Redmi 5, Redmi 5a etc.
The current 6 is NOT note 6, but plain Redmi 6 pro.
Note 6 pro is expected end of the year with 7xx SoC

In day to day activities, the difference is very very less. May be in gaming, it might be a little significant. My brother has a Note 4 and it flies along well with MIUI 9.

Redmi Note 5 is still a better option than Redmi 6 Pro imo. SD 636 is way better than SD 625.

Thanks guys
I guess if I'm going to wait, I'd better wait for the new Mi Max 3 which is coming with a huge battery and a better SoC.

Hello All...
A 7x owner here.. thought I'd peak in on your thread
I hope you all are enjoying your new Note 5 Pro's !
For Your Viewing... I offer up a couple of links to some youtube comparsions of your Note 5 Pro vs The Honor 7x.
Memory: This test is interesting.. Please have a look
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKDhb1CZ29M
Camera: We all have our preferences here... so you be the judge..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VULfz1LXFxY
Screen: I concede this one to the Note 5 Pro.. :good: color saturation is richer than on the 7x.
Again guys,
Congrats on your shiny new Note 5's once kernel source is released.. ROM support will be plentiful...
For me it's Redmi note 5 pro.
The Note 5 Pro offers a lot better battery life and performance (both cpu and gpu wise). Cameras seem comparable. The Honor looks better (imo, I guess it's pretty subjective though). It is also more expensive but at the same time you won't have to import it and will get warranty wherever you are which is pretty important. It is also already available while we have no idea when the Pro will get a global version (if you need additional bands). Overall, I'd say the Pro is a lot better device but things like availability and warranty make it harder to choose.

Bigger screen tho... but the new processor should have kept it alive a little longer tbh... because it's only new after a few updates these batteries will get better... s10 plus beating oneplus 7 pro in benchmark also pritty good plus battery

Is Mediatek chip is better than Snapdragon as redmi said?

We already saw all the performance of Mediatek chip, the performance is not better than snapdragon. But redmi claims that the mediatek chip is better than snapdragon 712. What do you guys think about this?

Of course, G90T is more powerfull than SD712...
CPU : Cortex A76 are better than Cortex A75 (Kryo 360 is a very slight customisation)
GPU : Mali G76mc4 is better than Adreno 616
RAM : 2133Mhz is better than 1866 (both lpddr4x dual Channel)
ISP : 3x MNFR up to 64MP are better than 2x MNFR up to 48MP.
Thinking the opposite is nothing but forejudgement...or troll.
Of course, you can find some apps that will run better on 712 (for exemple, emulators), but it's not a problem of power but of app's unoptimized code.
Not everything is all about specs, but about optimization and quality of sources, of which Mediatek is not famous at all. Broken sources, ROMs filled with bugs and etc. It would be great, if Mediatek would have forums like CAF, that would considerably boost development, but...
I once used Mediatek device and got fed up with it being completely locked and sources being broken completely. My opinion, though.
Just look at the Xiaomi Redmi Pro ( this one ). It came with android 6.0 and never received any further android update. I had that phone, and even though it had a 4000mAh battery with amoled display, it was not able to last even a day.... After that phone, I will never buy another one with mediatek soc...

But it's not like that this time, I easily get 9 hours SOT with gaming.
Battery life for me is VERY good. About to go to bed with 50% battery left with light use during the day and heavy use all evening.

My Redmi Note 8 Pro lasts for about a day and 10 hours mostly. At the end of the day there is almost 48% battery left. I'm much satisfied with its battery timings

I am very satisfied with Mediatek performance on this phone. I noticed big difference between Redmi note 7 that I have with Redmi note 8 pro that I have now.
Think things are different this time, the redmi N8 pro is a game changer this phone is awesome the battery life lasts all day power using and the phones a beast. i speed tested it against my sammy note 9 eight gig version and my Mi mix 3 eight gig version and it was neck and neck. But here we are a note 9 eight gig is a 1200$ phone and the mi mix 3 is a 450$ phone and a 240$ is running with them and the camera is outstanding better than the sammy n9 and the mm3 so dollars for dollars there's a big difference there.
same price as mi 9 lite...
i would go for the mi 9 lite

The snapdragon cpu is more supported over the years

Redmi Note 8 or Poco F1

I know, on paper, its no contest, But I am trying to decide between Redmi Note 8 and Poco F1. The difference between them is only £40
These are the important factors for me, the first 4 are must haves.
Good Battery life
Good Custom ROM support (now and future)
Headphone socket
SD Card
Notification LED
Reasonable Screen
Reasonable performance, (no gaming and was content with Redmi 5 Pro 4Gb Snapdrgon 636 until it broke)
I know the Poco F1 is much higher spec, but I dont really like the look (ugly cut out at the top and big bezel at the bottom). Plus because Redmi 8 is newer, I thought maybe better support for custom roms, in the future.
What do you think ?
Hi,
I had the Pocophone F1 and I now have Redmi note 8. Yes the F1 is faster but the notch is awful. The reason I sold it was because of the notch. Redmi note 8 ROM support is really ramping up and the teardrop notch is so so much better because android notifications were hard to see on the F1. Save the money and get the note 8.
Cheers dude.
I had used poco F1 ,now I have redmi note 8 ,forget poco F1 which I sold it after 2 months
Out of interest, what did you like on Poco and what is better on Note 8 ?.
Thanks

Poco F1 was okay, tbh I didn't really like anything about it other the the SD845. Redmi note 8 is good so far with pixel experience Feb build. MIUI is something I've never liked but my favourite android is stock always, I love it's simplicity.
Cheers.

Note 8 Pro or 9S

I have a new Note 8 Pro 6Gb Ram & 64GB, unopened.
However I have seen that I can now get the Redmi note 9S 4GB RAM (on promo) for the same price. The question should I order the 9S and return this one.
What is important for me is battery life, display quality and custom rom support. Overall Performance should be 'smooth' but I'm no gamer, just play the odd game.
Oh the size is important, I don't want anything too big. Just holding the Note 8 Pro, I am already thinking its already maybe abit too big. The 9S adds a couple more mm.
I guess future custom rom support for the 9S should be very good, it looks like it will be a big seller and having a Snapdragon CPU probably means more choice of custom roms ?
Any thoughts ?

Redmi note 9 pro aka note9s is way too big. And the finishing is not as good as note 8 pro. The thick black plastic around the sreen is thicker than redmi note 8. You can see from the side.
You should keep note 8 pro.

Redmi Note 9 Pro is not the same as Note 9s. For example, Note 9 Pro has NFC. 9s does not.
