My girlfriend is looking into purchasing a new phone. Should she get the 1+2 or Redmi Note 3?
Also forgot to ask why the oneplus 2 or Redmi note 3
Oneplus 2
Never settle
OnePlus Two.
why? because it's better than the other phone.
my wife has Redmi Note 3 with gigs of ram and i can tell u that is better and snappier that my oneplus 2 except the camera miui is better optimize
I was actually researching both phones as well, but I hear that the Redmi wont be updated to MM. It sounds like it comes as is and I dont care how cheap a phone is, Support is Priceless!!! I am worried sbout the Non-Spec charger and whether Oneplus 2 will get FP scanner support for Aosp roms.
Oneplus 2 or Redmi Note 3??? The question is meaningless. Not the same category.

I am looking to buy a new phone and right now I am split between the Redmi 3 pro and Redmi 3S pro. I love the way they look on paper. The battery, the lack of a 1080p screen is a pro (I find 1080p screens on <6" phones useless, 900p should be the norm here), the size, the price, the RAM.
The only difference I know is in the SoC. The one in 3S looks more future-proof (Adreno 505), but it's useless to be future proof if no one is taking advantage of that.
I know I should give it time, but the only people talking about the 3S are "thanks" commenters on the miui forums. Google searching that phones yields results for the Redmi 3. It has no global ROM. There are 3 threads about it on XDA, none having a reply.
Which one should I go for?
man what are you talking about.720p is more than enought for redmi 3.why do you want to waste battery and performance for just a 1080 p screen which is useless in real life.redmi 3 has very good screen.ya 3s is futureproof and redmi 3 does not has global rom bt i am happy with chinese stable cause its more stable than global rom + it gets update faster.and its not too hard to install plastore ya know.
Sorry, all that's mentioned there were pro's. I personally HATE that they need to put 1080p screens on everything, 440 dpi is overkill...
What about MIUI killing apps in the background? I read about that a lot.
miui killing background app? just lock that app in task manager then it will stay there till u kill the app urself
Anything you get will be great. All the phones you are considering are just as good. So if you can find one of the phones at a better price, get it. You won't be disappointed. However I find that development is lacking on the Redmi 3. While there are a lot of ROMs, they have their bugs. This is a pretty new phone so it will get updates on MIUI. As long as you like the skin, you will be good.
I personally can't stand MIUI so I'm glad I got the Mi4c. You should consider it too. It's got a 1080p display and a better processor (SD 808) but only 3000mah battery (which still gets me 6 hours SOT) and no SD card.
My vote would be for the 3S and hope it gets some dev support.
Just ordered a Redmi 3s
Mi4c was my first option before some local retailer advertised Redmi 3S and I found about them. Still, Redmi 3S it's like 70% of the price of the Mi4c here and that battery.... That battery. I dislike miui too, but global ROM is coming.
Snapdragon 430 supports quick charge 3.0 so I assume it is supported by the 3S model. This is a good reason for choosing 3S
Hello guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Its 1.5 years old. I want to change my phone because of updates. İt wont take any updates after Nougat. And i decide i dont like Touchwizz after this phone. I will give my Note 5 to my father and take a phone. In my mind, there is three choice. First one is Xiaomi Mi A1. Its Android One phone and will take Android P too. Other hand i can take a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. But i dont like 18:9 screen. I like MIUI but it wont take updates longer. Third one is Xiaomi Mi A2. Someone says, it will have Surge S2 processor. So i cant trust new cpus. Qualcomm is old in this world and its trustable. What do you think about ? What should i do ?

I also had a Samsung Note 5 and I exchanged it with Mi A1 on olx. And I'm pretty happy with the device. RAM management and performance is at par with the Note 5. My note 5 didn't have a good battery backup and I had to charge it at least two times in 24 hours, but with this Mi A1 one full charge lasts me for over 24 hours.
The only thing I have felt was better on the Note 5, is the front facing camera. But that is just a small trade off!

Then Redmi note 4 is a better option for you.( I'm not suggesting Redmi note 5 as ROM development has not yet begun) It has MIUI preloaded, and there are many custom ROMs available for it. There's lineage os with treble support for it too.( Pixel Experience is also there, if you want stock). Mi a1 and redmi note 4 have the same hardware. The only difference is camera and battery.
Buddy I switched to mi a1 from Galaxy S5 after 4 years of using it. It's a different world, 10x better even though I had the best available custom software for S5. Now I'm on stock out of the box Mi a1 and I love it. Just get it from a store, go on Google and search for price comparison website for your country and get it with warranty for at least 12 months.
Have in mind, it's a budget phone, you won't pay much, you'll get a great quality phone in Android One program, but it won't function as a 1k iPhone, or 500$ flagship Android, but it will "get the job done" and it does it pretty well IMO.
When it comes to roms, if you want out of the box device with no problems and no need for modifing the system , mi a1 and A1 program is the perfect solution. When it becomes boring/slow, you can always modify it as much as you want since there are and there will be dozens of roms for mi a1, and this phone as a brand won't die out anytime soon, it's as been on unbox therapy just recently.
Conslusion, it's a good choice, but get a valid warranty, don't ask me why, you can ask both Google and this forum for an answer on that question.
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.
I had a nitro too,
Redmi note 5 pro ,no questions asked.

If you're not concerned about a above average camera and a slower fp scanner (as compared to Redmi Note 5 Pro) then go for this device.That 5000 mAh battery isn't a joke.In terms of custom ROM development both Note 5 Pro and Max Pro are good so you don't need to worry about that.However I consider this device to survive longer as compared to its counterparts because Asus is promising updates to Android Q which means we'd most likely get kernel sources for Android Q which would be awesome for a nearly 1 year old device at that time.
undecided which one to buy what are your suggestion
at least how does the Mi Mix 3 5G compare with the K20 pro
if the Mi note 10 would had snapdragon 855 without thinking i would have got that one
9T Pro for sure, it gets a lot of development while Mi Mix 3 is cool and all but development wise it's getting forgotten very fast and it's kind of heavy.
Mi Note 10 on the other hand seems to have great cameras and should be even better whith Gcam but the speakers are poor and it's got a mid end SOC.
All 3 are good but that's just my opinion.
The K20 Pro is getting treated like it's a flagship by Xiaomi, even though Redmi is supposed to be a second tier brand. Almost everyone on the K20 test group has Android 10 MIUI 11 and they got it before any of the other global devices got MIUI11. That's a real slap in the face when you are walking around with the "flagship" product in your pocket.
I see a LOT of people complaining about the CC9T and problems with the software in the global beta groups. I can't speak to the Mi Note 10 as I haven't had any note products. I have the Mix 3 CN 8/256, and the only other Xiaomi device I have is a Mix 2s (which has a broken cellular modem). I think Xiaomi makes cool hardware, and it's been fun messing with MIUI on a truly working device now for almost two years. However, I would say at this point if you don't need dual sim or something else they bring to the table, the best Android experience is Google Pixel. I have all 3 of the XL models as well, and they are hands down the best. I have really been enjoying carrying a single device with my work and personal SIMs in it, but having to fight with Google Pay and Airwatch for work (I can fix Pay with Magisk, but that deletes my work profile no matter what I do on every reboot), is making me seriously consider going back to a two device setup.
I have used the Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon (mido) for more than 3 years now. And I have to say that the journey has been amazing. The legendary device always amazes me by its outstanding developer front. In this journey, i have found many rock-stable Custom roms, god-level gcams (that click pictures even now that are much better than the redmi note 8 pro in some cases), outstanding Kernels, etc.
But now I am thinking of buying a new device. And due to mido, my expectations with the new device regarding development are pretty high.
Please suggest me what device I should go with, which has legendary development like our beloved note 4.
I heard that Poco F1 is legendary too. Please give your opinions.
And though I know that Pixel and OnePlus devices are legendary in development, I am not that rich to buy these phones (not even second hand, lol ). My preferred brand is xiaomi (redmi or poco).
Thanks.

Redmi Note phones have different names and different hardware depending on where you live.
Redmi Note 9 Pro in India is the same phone as Redmi Note 9 in Europe. Xiaomi makes it really difficult for customers sometimes.
About your list, never buy a phone with Mediatek / Helio chipset. These phones never receive any support from devs. Just take a look how many Roms we have for Mido (Redmi Note 4 with Qualcomm Snapdragon) and how little for Nikel (Redmi Note 4 with Mediatek).
Redmi Note 9 Pro is the newest and has already customs ROMs available, so I personally would go for that one. The only downside of the phone could be that the screen is very very big.
Redmi Note 8 or 7 aren't that much cheaper but have older hardware.
Poco F1 is also rather old already and not a good deal anymore.
Or wait a few weeks for Mi A4. It runs pure Android One which means it will receive at least 3 years of security updates and 2 years of Android updates (Android 11 and 12 for sure). So there is no need for custom ROMs.
Thanks a lot.
