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

Camera: We all have our preferences here... so you be the judge..

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.

Roms

Any one knows when will the custom roms arrive for this device i know itll take time but i need to prepare myself of how long will i need to use the miui

Maybe 4 or 5 months, since xiaomi is always late to release kernel source it will take some time to get stable ROM

dual boot patcher is already available for the Note 5, i hope they can get it for the Pro soon so i can have Miui/LineageOS together

what the adv of having a dual boot ?

obviously you have the choice of either the oem or custom rom to boot.

Damn! The phone isn't even on sale yet. DAMN!

2-3 months

First of all, people and devs should buy the device! And it is possible to get ROMs before the Kernel Source release, as devs create custom kernel. So, it may take 2-3 months

patience is a virtue

Hey Shahan. Will you be here as a developer for Redmi Note 5 pro? Then it is like heaven. Currently I own Mi4 with your Nitrogen OS.

Let the kernel source release

Though my question is somewhat unusual but any developers interested in building custom roms for Zenfone Max M1 pro. Was about to buy Redmi note 5 pro then Asus released this phone. Now I am confused. Also which phone will have a better future on XDA?

In terms of development on xda, RN5P will definitely have better support. Evident from previous xiaomi devices.

I think Redmi Note 5 Pro Will Develop More Custom Rom Than Zenphone M1 Pro

RN5 by a mile
The 5,000 mah battery and Vainilla Android is tempting but:
-No EIS
-No IR Blaster
-No Gorilla Glass or Oleophobic coating on the screen
-Inferior Selfie cam
-Low Development
So the Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro is the clear winner

Suggestion on Buying a New Phone

Hello Friends,
I Need Your Important suggestion on Buying a New Phone.
Actually I was Using Micromax Nitro A311 with Custom Resurrection Remix v 5.8.5 ROM.
And I need to buy a New Phone But I am Very Confused With Which Phone to Buy under 15K.
Since I have Several Options are Available such as Redmi Note 5 Pro, Asus ZenFone Max M1, Realme 1, Redmi Note 5.
So Please Help me Out by suggesting, Which Phone to Buy. Since I need a Phone for Long Term Usage which should also support Rooting and Custom Roms.Performance and Battery Life is also a Concern.

My Two Cents..

Hello...
For what it's worth.. I suggest the Xiaomi Note 5 Pro.
The Snapdragon 636 is a fine engine.. and the Price-To-Performance ratio is amongst the very best.
You just can't go wrong.. wether you leave it basically stock.. or go all out root/roms etc.
Happy Shopping!

Just like that, you know you are on rn5pro threads so i guess majority will recommand their phone so the rn5pro....
Those who are not satisfied are no more here so i guess no one will tell you max m1.
ask in max m1 and i guess they will tell you to buy max m1.
Human nature, we recommand what we have except if really bad product, which is not the case here as spotted, ratio performance/price is just fine af
Just check if you can still unlock (even 360 hours what is that in a recent phone life time)

Which Phone to buy? Redmi Note 8 Pro vs Redmi Note 8

Hello everyone,
I wanna hear what your thoughts about the Note 8 Pro vs Note 8.
Do you have any regrets when it comes to buying the Pro? I see that on paper it is much better than the Note 8 however, there doesn't seem to be a lot of custom roms/kernels for it and there is also a bricking issue with the MTK processor.. What are your thoughts and opinions on this? Would you exchange your Note 8 Pro for a Normal variant if you could? Do you have any regrets? Are new custom roms coming in the future? What do you think?
Thank you for your responses.

the processor in Rn8 is alright not as fast compared to MTK in RN8p (i do alot of multi tasking etc)
I reluctantly bought the RN8p because the only variant in RN8 available was 4/128 - needed that extra ram
i neither game nor am much into photography so can't comment there.
Have it rooted and finally setup nearly to my liking, but MTK does suffer from availability of roms and the bricking issues - waiting for RN9p, will move to it if the reviews turn out +ve

Note 8 < Note 8 Pro
Because better processor. Better performance for the price. Also custom roms aren't as rare as some people would have you believe. We have 5 ROMs in testing phase at the moment. And it's just a matter of just one of them having a breakthrough in terms of fixing some known issues. Then we can possibly run any custom rom we want in this phone.

if you are planning to use as a normal user and not planning to mod and install ROMs then RN8P is the way to go if you plan to do mod and flash rom and stuff then other phones might have better dev support.

Is it still worth it to buy the Redmi Note 8?

I currently have the budget to buy a phone in the prices of the Redmi Note 8 and the Redmi Note 9, I am really into custom roms and I'm currently leaning into buying the Redmi Note 8 just because of it. Will the Redmi Note 8 still be supported by the developers here in the long run or are a lot of them transitioning in buying the new Redmi Note?

In my experience the redmi line have developer support during several years. My last phone was a redmi 5 plus (vince) and even today there are quality custom roms available (but there are not many options anymore). I bought a RN 8 recently and I think it is still a good device, especially considering that RN9 has a mediatek processor and the development for that device is going to be harder. Sorry for my bad English btw.

appreciate it, my brother just bought a Redmi Note 9, I'm not really feeling the size of the phone, plus I don't think there's going to be much development because of the processor? I guess I'll just go with this, the roms with the RN8 seems pretty great.

Take into consideration that Xiaomi is really delaying updates for this phone, even Redmi note 7 got updates sooner.
