Thanks.

I am not getting OTA either, I have Lang set to English-UK and region - India
the reason for Region India is because if I set to region UK i dont get Face Unlock feature thats why.
The battery management is just excellent thats why I am lil worries abt not going onto 9.5.13 and want to keep 9.5.5.0 as standby before I update

You can set region to Indonesia and update it, then set it back to India. I'm on 9.5.13, getting screen on time of about 9-10 hours on light use and 7-8 on moderate use.

Redmi Note 5 pro and Redmi Note 5 AI are same mobile. Only difference is Redmi Note 5 AI got different camera setup.
Don't know the reason why Xiaomi is not pushing Oreo update to Indian (India region) users officially...

They are not.
RN 5 China and Global have bigger pixels 1.4um camera with f 1.9 lens, India called Pro has pixel size 1.2. and f 2.2. The camera is significant better and the AI works almost like a gimble. Amazing for the price.

My oversight, sorry.
Anyways, I don't understand the confusing model policy of Xiaomi. The Pro version not better than the standard version?

Redmi Note 5 AI is for China market and global market(with global ROM)
Redmi Note 5 Pro Redmi Note 5 AI code named as WHYRED
wherease Redmi Note 5(india market) and Redmi 5 Plus (global and china market) code named as VINCE
Hello
I would like to buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Edition (please see the image in the attached file ), but is there a difference between this version and the pro version, is there any difference in the system version and the possibility of installing custom rom ?
thank you
yes there's difference in camera hardware between AI version and pro version but don't worry
but all custom rom here in xda works on both device it's Unified same oneplus 3 and 3t
only difference is in camera. rest everything same you can use same roms on all the whyred. they have same code as well.
I'm planning of getting one also, would like to know if the camera can be modded also? Such as camera 2 api.
Hello,
I'm new to the Xiaomi community and I recently ordered the
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Dual camera 4GB/64GB version.
I understand that there's the Xiaomi redmi note 5 3/4GB 64/128GB single camera version;
Xiaomi redmi note 5 Pro 4/6GB 64/128GB version;
Xiaomi redmi note 5 Dual AI 4/6GB 64/128GB version.
The thing that really confuses me, is the Dual camera version the same as the Pro?
I couldn't find the Pro version on most stores and the specs seem to be quite similar.
Will I be able to install the same ROM's on the Dual version that are meant for the Pro?
Are they really the same?
This is really getting me frustrated and I can't find any info online about this.
Please help.
Xiaomi is the master of confusion regarding phone variants and names.
But in your case and only if your phone has two backside cameras:
- Xiaomi redmi note 5 Pro 4/6GB 64/128GB -> REDMI NOTE 5 PRO INDIA
- If your phone says that it uses a Global MIUI ROM then: Xiaomi redmi note 5 Dual AI 4/6GB 64/128GB -> Redmi Note 5 Global
- If your phone says that it uses a Russian MIUI ROM then: Xiaomi redmi note 5 Dual AI 4/6GB 64/128GB -> Redmi Note 5 Russia
Now, I am a little bit confused where exactly someone will find ROMs for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 3/4GB 64/128GB with a single camera. It's believed that this variant is actually the Redmi 5 Plus but... I am not sure.

I checked the custom ROMs online regarding the single camera version, they were called just "Note 5 single camera" and there were a lot designed specifically for that version. I believe my specific version of Xiaomi is the China version, since it is the chinese version with the Global ROM installed, if that's the case, there are plenty of ROMs for me to choose.

You wrote your Xiaomi is the Chinese version but it has a Global ROM... How do you know that? If I am not too indiscreet, what is your model version?
In case you do not know, you may find that information under:
Settings-> About phone

I have just placed the order on the phone. I haven't recieved it yet. The description of the phone says that it is the Chinese version with the Global ROM.
i am in italy and doing a cpuz it says whyred...
I am thinking of buying the redmi note 6 pro global version.
But do the notification icons for email, WhatsApp etc show in the notch area?
Also is the global version running Miui 10?
On miuipro and xiaomi.eu (not 100% sure about this one) notifications are present in Notch. Next to clock. On global India and China no.
I would be buying the Redmi Note 6 pro from eglobal, it is a imported phone which I believe to be the global version with official rom with Google store for the EU market... Is the EU version miui 10 and China version miui 9.x?
Plus why did the not enable notifications on all versions of the note 6? Seems crazy
I have the global version and the notifications DO NOT show up on the notch...which is a pain in the ass. It sucks having to slide it down when you get multiple notifications. It´s also hard to understand why would anyone create a system that won´t do what ALL OTHER phones have been doing since the beginning of Android.
I have to say it totally sucks and notifications in the notch should be a priority icon.
Use super notch app or change rom to miuipro or xiaomi.eu.

Could not find super notch on google play....
I would assume I would have to reset my phone to install miuipro or xiaomi.eu, right?
Supernotch is not on GP there's a thread about notications in with notch. To install xiaomi.eu you need unlocked bootloader first. Same for miuipro. Xiaomi.eu is free and for miuipro to gain access to download area you have to donate them.
I am on miui 10 beta version and yes nofifications are showing onnktch disply

You have the Note 6 Pro global and you were able to update it to MIUI 10? How?
Damn. It's because you're writing in redmi 6 pro section. I'm confused when someone is doing it. Whole thread is a mess [emoji14]

Hello, it seems that on beta rom of MI8 the notifications are again there so I think that in few weeks they will come again also on this device

Mi redmi 6 Pro doesn't support video playing on full screen notch display.its just a show piece so don't waste your money in buying Redmi 6 Pro
Regarding Notch Notifications Solution go here and vote to be added.
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.
