So I was abit surprised there has been no announcement for their next follow up. Im guessing they're not taking the OnePlus route I.e. same specs different design.
I had a hunch they are waiting for the snapdragon 845 and turns out I was right. http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/12/05/news-snapdragon-845-exists/
So who will be getting their next flagship. I most likely will because of specs and price ratio. Hopefully they have a much better camera. I found the Mi 5S to have a better camera thab the Mi 6. The olmain downside is waiting a few months (6) for kernel sources.
If they release with Oreo then project Treble unless they do a sly move like OnePlus and release with Nougat to avoid Treble.
Kernel sources will be released at release time from now on.
Wait, what? Do you mean when the phone is available to buy, kernel sources will be published also?

Source?, xiaomi has been very bad on kernel source releases.
Yes, I've talked with Ivan and he said that they intend to release sources at time of device release from now on to improve their global market.
Any thoughts guys?
I'll wait and see if it's any good first or wait for mix 3

Too early. Still a lot of speculation.
There aren't a lot of news about SD845 as of today. And looking back how I anticipate Mi 6 release, there were lots of misinformation floating around from one site to another. And in the end, Mi6 is almost different from the rumor I read.
As long as they release a Ceramic Mi7, I'm all in.
Those of you who voted no, whats your reason(s)?
Display size
I will only buy when they release kernel source max 2 months after phone released and it will be cheaper ca 100 USD than otp 6.
If not , I will buy otp 6. I can't imagine, based on mi6 story , to wait 9 months for lineageos and I can't imagine to use crappy MIUI soft.
Well, it depending on how big development on mi 7. If there is a lot dev who bought it, and I'm in.
Still no news :/
So what do you lot think about the Mi 8 and Mi 8 SE?
For me only mi 8 explorer edition is option and only after kernel released
Two others, for that price I would rather buy op6

Apparently it doesn't have a translucent back, its a sticker so I'll probably go for the standard model and the SE depending on how much the resellers are charging.
No Kernel source and so no custom roms
very disappointing ,They said they are going to release some quality source but Its been full 3 months now.
Jan is at its end which makes this almost 4 months
xiaomi released kernel source for mi max 2 after six months, so I guess they will release kernel source for our device after that same amount of time

Guys,Check this out but I don'no if its true?!
He is just a mod in forum, I don't think he has anything to do with development. I have read his all reply stating not an employee of xiaomi
Well, Seppe looks like a normal mod, he occasionally posts on mi community and his Twitter looks normal, he said he got "internal sources" (maybe friends?)... Why would he lie? He had nothing to gain... This is interesting
Sources to be Released
Kernel Source released atlast......
Let the devs work their magic on....

Is still advisable to buy RN7 instead of RN7S, despite Mi said this version will be discontinued?
Are we left with less official updates and feeble ROM support for devs in the near future, as they most likely will be working on 7S?
RN7 has already been confirmed update to Android Q for early 2020, it might take some time but official updates will not stop as the release of MIUI 11 is close and Android Security updates are constantly released.
Any information about the release Of Android Q Open Beta for OnePlus6T?
Keep an eye on this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/official-oxygenos-beta-1-oneplus-6t-t3881099
https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6-6t-android-10-beta-5-5t-q2-2020/
Per this article on XDA, we'll be getting Android 10 sometime this month.
The open beta should be released very soon because the H2o beta was released yesterday,
On the other hand,don't be surprised if Oneplus be sneaky and hold off a while to push more users towards the 7T series
Hasn't q been out for a few months via the India website?
The dp was released in July
You're a power user. Can the Redmi Note 9 Pro keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Redmi Note 9 Pro. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Should we expect some community development for this after the Mediatek disaster if Redmi note 8?
I'm interested in this phone coming from OnePlus One and Redmi Note 4, I'm used to great ROM availability.
Xiaomi is releasing phones left and right there are already very few community developers and there a lot of devices to choose from. If this device gets famous then expect development otherwise forget about it. 2-4 roms unofficially supported and root and that is pretty much it.
planning to buy the phone...would be happy af if the development scene turns out to be good....previously i used legendary mido
It would be nice to use some great roms on this redmi note 9 pro, till now it's proving to be good for me
If there will be some development for this device it would be great....

When development will begin for redmi note 9 pro.....
given that the base variant is priced reasonably and the phone is quite good overall i think it has a great future other than last years redmi note 8 pro....
looking forward to some great roms :fingers-crossed:
Just ordered it yesterday, hopefully it will get better development in the future
This phone will have great community development strength, just as any Redmi Note series phone. And because it is a huge jump in performance compared to the previous models, it will be successful. It has great specs considering the price. The only problem now is that developping TWRP for devices coming with Android 10 out of the box will take some time (look at the OnePlus 7T series for example, and check TeamWin's annoucements). On a side note, the Xiaomi Mi 10 already has a working non-official TWRP. If you can be patient, you should not worry at all.
This phone just needs TWRP (unofficial is good enough),kernel source code from Xiaomi and Indians. Lots of them to be precise since the Note series is pretty much synonym with them. Where are my Indian bros? We need you here.
Just bought the Redmi Note 9S 128GB 6GB RAM, waiting for it to be delivered. No specific intention of changing the software for at least 12 months or so as I never think it's actually worth all the graft involved, by then, I hope this phone will have picked up traction and be more popular
Onwards and upwards.

Kernel souce released
May there will be a "MAX" version codename "joyeuse" for global market. A polish developer found this information in MIUI.
Due to this information I decided to return my brand new not unboxed global Redmi Note 9S.

Your choice. I'll believe it when I see it.
The JOYEUSE version will be most likely abandoned from xiaomi since they cannot keep up with devices lol, here is my github where i will making changes to the tree of the curtana model, there's a team of us working on it, i will be building and supporting EVO-x github.com/xiaomi-curtana enjoy Still waiting for my device to arrive tho, however at this point Xiaomi are quite unpredictable tho personally I just prefer the 9s and it was the discontinued cn device so will most likely get more updates

They do always the same
The global Redmi Note 9 Pro (+NFC, +30W charging, +64MP Main Camera Sensor Samsung GW2) will be released next monday(11.05.2020) in Malaysia at a starting price around 300€.
There will be three different Global RN9 by the middle of May:
- RN9: The low cost Mediatek Version. I am be sure many people will buy this one because of getting very low prices for a Redmi Note 9 (3GB/64GB) May it will be sold for 150€ with very less potential for custom ROM development.
- RN9Snapdragon: The one (6GB/128)GB I got and returned for 229€. Very nice one but without NFC.
- RN9 Pro: Nice peace of cake with some very useful improvements compared to RN9S. If this one is sold for 300€ and not under 250€(6GB/128GB) I will wait and watch the prices compared to global Mi Note 10 Lite Zoom.
Here is a nice review for the upcoming global Redmi Note 9 Pro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJHzRWbpPVY&t=635s
While waiting and also watching Custom ROM development I am using my old but gold Redmi Note 4 mido with LOS 17.1, I payed 140€ in 2017 for mido.
Just ordered the 6GB version on amazon, hope to receive it on monday. Really hope developers can make some ROMs to squeeze this phone for real, Official or Unnofficial I dont care
