I am considering of buying this phone, but I am concerned about software update since I dont want to get stuck with Marshmallow forever. and I dont want to deal with custom roms. (dont have the time or patience for that)
So, will this phone receive Nougat?
Don't buy mi5s. Xiaomi doesn't support this model like mi5 or mi max. Still no regular updates released.
Thank you. It seems odd that older model is supported and newer model is not. In that case I will not buy the device. I was planning to hold on to it for about 2-3 years and there is no way I am going to get stuck with Android 6 for that long.
What about the Redmi note 4X? Any chance for this phone to get Nougat?
Have you thought about the mi6?

I did, but I wont buy it for 2 reason
1. Its way more expensive than the mi5s.
2. It doesnt have a global rom yet and I assume it will take some time until it does
For the price of the mi6, I would rather get the OP3t which is cheaper and already updated to latest android

My only concern is the camera
I was on a custom rom (pixel experience) and my phone was rooted and when I tried to undo the root and restart the device it got stuck in the mi logo. What should I do

boot into TWRP --> Format Data --> Install ROM again !

D-Load a version of the Stock ROM ( 9.5.17.0 if you can... ) transfer it from you computer and flash it..
reboot phone to twrp mode and make a backup of your data if u want data not to be lost.
flash your custom rom,and again go to twrp mode and restore your data excluding(system) and reboot the device.
try it,it worked for me without loss of data.

Hey S.S...
Not 30 Minutes Ago I pulled the trigger on the Samsung Galaxy A70.
It's only about 6mm taller than the XRN5.. but, packs a 6.7 inch SuperAmoled Display that is simply Incredible.
Samsung's OneUI coupled with a Samsung app called Good Lock.. gives you almost endless tweaks without root access.
The Snapdragon 675 / Adreno 512 SoC along with Samsung Pay having NFC and MST capabilities and 6 GB of Ram / 128 GB of Storage sealed the deal..
Honorable Mention To:
The Redmi K20 Pro
The Asus Zen 6
The OnePlus 7
A little more expensive.. faster.. but not as feature rich as the Galaxy A70..
I'll Stay In Touch.. You've Done A Fantastic Job Helping So Many With The XRN5... Keep It Up Boss! :good:

Huge difference between Redmi Note 5 and Samsung A70. Hope you will love all the new features

I just seen that Dark Mode has been implemented..
That's cool.. I've always used Xiaomi's Theme Store.. And I LOVE Dark Themes.. but it's nice for those that like to go from light to dark depending on the time of day.
And Yes.. I've so missed Amoled Displays.. I had a Note 4.. and would STILL be using it if I did not Cheap Out and buy a dang $1.00 car charger & cable..
It burned my Note 4 out! That's been almost 3 years ago... So, I can't wait to fire that puppy up for the 1st time and see 6.7 inches of pure black heaven.. :highfive:

Nothing personally and totally nothing against you, but I'm curious since I never asked that someone, why a new mobile phone after just 1 year? Since I'm used to have a single phone for 2 - 3 years.

Hi There X..
I think.. if you ask 10 different people.. you'd get 10 different answers..
In my case, Having the Note 5 Pro "Rooted-Stock" has been pretty much perfect. 100% Stable & Fast with Nova Prime and Animations at 0.5.. Viper sounds great.. Quickboot works like a charm.. And Greenify rounds out the reasons that I rooted the stock O.S.
So Why Move On From What Seems Like A Perfect Fit?
1st) Samsung SuperAmoled Displays.. ( My New Device Has A 6.7 inch Screen )
2nd) Samsung Pay (NFC / MST Technology Works ANYWHERE a Debit / Credit Card is accepted ) Google Pay.. Not.
3rd) Samsung OneUI ( In conjunction with an app called Good Lock ) provides Endless System Tweaks without root.
4th) Samsung 's AR Emoji's!!! ( Super Fun To Play With! )
5th) Samsung's Bezel- Less Design..( I'm cool with the Infinity U-Notch.. and you can hide it )
6th) I recently purchase a new Camry.. with Scoutlink Technology.. Toyota doesn't acknowledge Xiaomi devices at all... The Salesperson and I Brought a OnePlus 7 Pro out of a T-Mobile store to see if the Camry software would acknowledge the connection.. No Problem it linked to the OnePlus 7 Pro instantly.. as did a $100.00 Samsung J3 Prime device... Toyota Simply Does Not Acknowledge Xiaomi..
Well.. I think that pretty much sums up my thought process..
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro wins a lot of battle's..
But The Samsung A70 Knows How To Win The War.

Okay that makes Sense. I'm totally different
1. The 6 Inch Screen is totally okay for me and I prefer IPS LCD More. (Sounds maybe weird, but yeah xD)
2. Never used any of the paying technologies, never used NFC on any phone at all and I not really feel like I need it, I still prefer paying with real money that I can hold in my hand, oldschool, but that's how I am xD
3. I'm really in love with MIUI meanwhile and since the S4 I never used Samsung ever again. But yeah the settings I can manage on MIUI are more than enough for me. (I use my phone unrooted since I not like Magisk and I never unlocked it, all offical still and pure Stock since over 7 months, now on offical MIUI Pie
4. Not really Something I personally need ?
5. Even if you can hide it, I hate all types of Notches and avoid every phone that has it and it doesn't matter for me if it's bezel-less or not, so long the phone fits my needs.
7. Cannot say anything to that, since I don't own a car, I don't even have a Driver license with 29 xD Cause here in Berlin/Germany I not really need it since I get everywhere in Berlin just by bus and train really cheap per month.
So as you see, my Points are totally different and as you maybe see I will take good care of my Redmi Note 5 so long as possible. ? And you take good care of your new phone.
Why A50 has still no custom ROM although this devise is very popular, and redmi not 7 pro has all major custom ROM
Considering we can run the gsi Rom of android 9 and 10 I'm hopeful.
Just wondering if anyone is working on it tbh.

I Own This Device For 3 Reasons:
1) Samsung Pay
2) With Xfinity's $250.00 Rebate.. It Cost Me $135.00.. Including Tax.
3) Xfinity's Unlimited Data Is Less Than $50.00 A Month.. And Uses Verizon's Towers.

You are perfectly right. Everyone has his own reason - as A50 is nothing special.
Mine is: I turned back to Samsung phone as my Galaxy Watch ( which I like ) works best with Samsung phones.
Special.. Well, Maybe..

"Special" is Subjective...
What you get for the price... Simply Cannot Be Beat..
Especially if you are in a Region that takes advanage of Samsung Pay.. Encrypted.. Secure Transactions..
Everytime.
And the Battery Life ( at least for me ) is SPECTACULAR..
I had a Redmi Note 5 Pro... Rooting = Issues..
And... Having Issues Gets Old..... Fast.
I'm grateful I've learned to live without that headache... And value 100% Stability ( And Samsung Pay ) above all else.
For Me.. The 50 is Special... 90% of an S10+'s Feature Set..... 33% ( Or Even Less.. ) of it's cost. :angel:

Try Lenovo P2 ( which I still have ). 4-6 days of usage compared to 2 day usage with A50. This is spectacular.
I left Lenovo P2 for 2 reasons: cooperation with Galaxy Watch, camera below average
I am going to move to Galaxy M30s. Same Exynos as A50, 6000mAh battery and forget about crappy underscreen FP. Samsung pay does not work in Poland so I do not care about it.
P.S. And you are right. It is all subjective
Cough Cough.... I'm on the A50 (FN) and I have a custom ROM installed soooo
On my previous devices i was building roms.
But i really enjoy Samsung rom, once debloated i must say, it's feature rich and very stable. And monthly updates. So for now i see no reason for custom rom.
+ Samsung is very specific, and it is not an easy thing, need to be an very experimented dev to bring the first custom rom (vendor, kernel, device trees and a fully working twrp) .
So ( risks + bugs ) VS ( Feature rich and monthly updated samsung rom ) = Samsung rom win.

Now... For Me, The Fingerprint Sensor After The Update Works PERFECT.
I have my own way of setting up 2 fingers ( 1 on each hand ) and , I have no issues.. if the Facial Recognition doesn't grab it first.. it works without fail.
I'm not going to waste space posting another thread about how to setup your FPS... but you can make it work really well.
Great if you are not loosing money switching from one device to another...
For Me... here in the United States of America.. you can get a $250.00 rebate on this device which cost $385.00 out the door...
That's a $135.00 U.S.D. cost for me............. WITH SAMSUNG PAY
My Carrier is trying to get me to move up to the Note 10+.... $1,235.00 out the door!
No Thank You... The $135.00 I paid works just fine for me.. Geez... It's Just A Cell Phone!

Waiting would be wise.
If your Phone is Fast and Camera is good their absolutely no good reason not to wait. If you just want it for some over hyped cheesy camera system you will be disappointed. It's obvious Samsung rushed this phone and didn't spend enough time in the testing phase. They have needed 3 updates so far just to make the camera decent but I wouldn't call it spectacular or ground breaking. Their Exynos Chipset is absolute Garbage so if you going to get this phone make sure it's a Snapdragon. The Exynos is a Heater and the Battery life is terrible.
Hey folks
I bought my first M20X in November 2018.
It was crashed ½ year ago, so sad.
Then I bought a Samsung s21 ultra, had it 1 month, did not like Sammy any longer, hate the OS and the display size hmmm to small.
Then I got my xiaomi mi 11 ultra 1½month ago, I liked it better then the S21u BUT missed my good old M20X which still is a hardcore phone in my eyes.
I bought a new one 8gb 256gm Chinese version with a global rom on Aliexpress
It work absolutely 100% like my old global M20X Hong Kong version, no Chinese stuff at all.
It surprised me the M20X forum still is active here.. Awesome, not much, but still.
Big story yes, for a tiny question.
Every time I restart my M20X is set as automatic light dimmer grrrrr, don't want that.
I remember the same problem in 2018, but how to fix it, I don't remember and can't find anything about it...
Anyone in here know what to do ??
Rly no one in here have a solution?

Hey
Thx but I have the highest update you can get to this phone. And I'm happy for this, because it gives me all i need. I don't even use my xiaomi mi 11 ultra... I had it for around 3 weeks now, but this tiny display is hard to work with
And most amazing part I got 2 security updates the last 5-6 weeks, it surprised me a lot

Hey,
Kinda confused here. Do you have the chinese version? Because I noticed you have 11.0.0.155. But I'm on 11.0.0.142 on C636. How were you able to get 155 when i dont?
Hi
Yes i have a Chinese version 256gb 8gb EU rom version and I bought it on Aliexpress like this.
So it's really a upgrade vs my first M20X C636 Hong Kong version
Took 3 weeks to be delivered.
And as I told, I still get security updates for it
Take a look

Ok thats what i thought.
Today I tried the samsung note 20 ultra at a store. I have to admit it looks very good! It may be a bit smaller than the 20x but its still a big phone with an amazing sharp bright screen. I'm very tempted into selling my 20x and buying the note 20 ultra instead. Very tempted.
I understand you, tried the same with S21 ultra BUT, for me the display is much smaller and the battery time sucks big time vs M20X and that's enough for me to go back to my beloved M20X.
And I think the same will happen with Mi 11 ultra. When I compare speed etc, I don't feel any big difference at all. So M20X is still 95% up to date.
But wish you good luck then
