Hello everybody, I have received 2 days ago a brand new Note 3 128Gb (payed 270 €) but I am wondering if sending back and purchase the new Pocophone F1...
Interested into battery life and decent camera (both units have these) , but disappointed by low support by Xiaomi on Note 3....
Note 3 do not have B20 (used here in Italy) , but have NFC & OIS that Poco F1 do not have.
I also hope that F1 will have more support by the community.
What's your opinion?
Thanks
better cam note 3, better display poco
Get Poco Mi Note is great but that oIS doesnt do much to be honest. Poco will have better support and probably good GCam support that you need.

If you want the better jdi lcd panel of the mi note 3, nfc, ois, metal and glass meterial design just buy the Mi Note 3! Otherwise buy the pocophone f1, i think these devices it is really worth the money...

I will buy a phone and don't know if i should buy the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 or the Elephone P3000S
They charge me the same for both. So the price it's not relevant in this Question.
The camera is the most important point in my decision, keep that in mind
Wich one should i buy?
Okay so here's the merits from what I can see from both phones.
Elephone P3000S:
Bigger battery
Touch ID sensor
NFC
Gorilla glass
Gesture support
Redmi Note 2:
IR blaster
Bigger community (tech support)
Better camera optics
Made by more reputable company (better quality control)
Faster processor
In my opinion (trying tot to be biased) I think the Note 2 is the better option. A large community is a must when buying Chinese phones where the return policy is absolute bull plop. If something goes wrong with your Note 2 there's likely someone who can help thanks to it's large fanbase. Also the fingerprint sensor on the Elephone looks archaic, it's reminiscent of the fingerprint scanners on the old IBM laptops and if that's the case you'd likely be disappointed with it.
That't my opinion, watch some reviews and make up your own mind. Whatever you end up buying, don't regret it. But enjoy what you've bought as there'll always be a better phone.
Good luck!

Hi,
I bought Elephone P3000s an Redmi note 2, and in my opinion Redmi Note2 is a better choice: I agree with Nippernator.
Furthermore Elephone still has Android 4.4 and there's no development at the moment, even if the Company said the Phone will have Lollipop.
Bye
Elephone is garbage
Not even a fair comparison, the elephone p3000s is really outdated compared to the redmi note 2 and there is a huge difference in regards of CPU (cortex a53 vs a7 cores), camera and screen (720p vs 1080p and better screen quality on the Redmi Note 2). I ditched my Moto G3 for a Redmi Note 2 and it's a whole new experience.
Hi,
I am pretty new to the Xiaomi- and especially to the Mediathek-world. This is why I have this noob question :silly:
Is the Redmi Pro currently the top smartphone by Xiaomi, at least hardware-wise?
Of course, besides Mi5/S, which run the SD 820/821...
Or is e.g. the Note 4 the stronger device, or any other? As far as I know, the Redmi-line is more a budget-thing, right?
Thx for any info on this! :highfive:
Best
P
Redmi Pro is known as the Xiaomi Redmi's flagship and that means It is the strongest of the Redmi's even that it is Mediatek powered . mediatek disadvantage is that they does not release sources (which is needed for compiling custom roms and kernels) and the Snapdragon release its sources thats because snapdragon devices are the most wanted and that means bigger price but weaker phone. redmi pro's helio x20 or x25 is compared to snapdragon 810 and and its very close to sd 820. Redmi note 4 has the same chip (x20) but isnt better than redmi pro.Redmi note 4 PRO has a sd652 and that means it has more development for that device.
If you want a phone with a lot development buy redmi note 4 PRO --- if you want a stronger phone buy REDMI PRO.
PS: the best xiaomi for now is MI MIX (the bezelles device
Thank you very much! My times of ROM-hopping are over...my current S7 is not even rooted...so I guess the Redmi Pro will be my first try on the chinese devices (Huawei P9 would be interesting, too, but I am searching for a bigger phone)
I have checked the Mix, it looks gorgeous and I would love to get my hands on this, but the price is far from what I invest in smartphones normally...
So, next step is checking the int. Xiaomi-ROM for the Pro, how to install and what to expect...
The best xiaomi device now is mi5, mi mix, mi note 2.
S7 has much better camera. Redmi Pro is not considered as flagman.
Xiaomi has better models like Mi5.
Even so I would prefare Redmi Pro because of OLED display.
But now Im having trouble with flashing ROM as it doesn't has official global vertion. So you need to apply for unlock bootloader and wait. Some people wait more than 10 days.
It's a good phone but with some really annoying hang ups. ( performance in general is good to very good with occasional lag due to bad core switching, screen is nice although a tad dim for outdoor use, build quality is great)
First of all the camera is a complete waste of time and this appears to be a software issue as the sensor it's self is capable of taking decent photographs. But it's honestly one of the worst smart phone cameras I've used and I've used a lot.
If you've ever used a blackberry in 2010-2011 that's the sort of quality so expect only at higher resolutions.
Second of all Xiaomi appears to have abandoned further development for the device ( no news on 7.0)
Also its missing wireless n support which is just weird, doesn't bother me oh so much as I rarely transfer files over WiFi but still an odd omission.

He said the flagship for the xiaomi redmi series not xiaomi mi series
Hi, no i have mi note 4 (i like miui), but my display is broken. I want buy new phone (i like stock android too).
What is better, note 4 or a1. Is photo quality better on a1?
Photo qualizty is may be better on note bat that is may be just because samsung has addons for photo app. Here you does not have two way cam and other addons. All araund much better phone and you will forget abaut charging all the time. I charge mi a1 over night and just two times araund 12PM batery was on 15% Note 4 is good phone bat old phone big and fat. I‚m happy with my mi a1.
Galaxy Note 4? Or Redmi Note 4?

xiaomi redmi note 4 or xiaomi a1
Surely its your choice. Both the phones share same SOC and memory. While Note 4 may be upgraded to miui 9,android 7.1 , it surely not going to be updated anymore. Wherein in coming week A1 will be upgraded to Oreo and further android P as well. Also being a stock android device it would be getting the love of dev community se well. Miui looks beautiful to some and crappy to more. I as my personal choice consider stock over miui. That's why I choose op3 over mi5 while mi 5 had better camera then op3 but because oxygen os was close to stock
So it is ur own choice.
Also I forgot to mention . A1 has better camera with more features those we are going to use in Oreo using magisk
Hello everyone, I'm intending buying a new phone in the Middle range prices and after some researches i sticked to this 2 choices: Mi A1 and Redmi 5 Plus, i'm not fascinated by the 18:9 aspect ratio, i'm just looking for handy Value for money phone especially in terms of future supporting by developers.
what do you think?
After my Redmi 4 Prime i can say you one thing..
NEVER BUY A REDMI PHONE.
Redmi Note and Mi series are ok.
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
Got a Mi A1, in love with !
Mi A1 Best choice for me
I'm satisfied with my A1, no issues.
Running latest stock Oreo, Jan 1 update.

Buy Redmi Note 5 pro
Few weeks back, my biggest headache was to choose between the A1 or Redmi Note 4. Both phone are great, and of course the rn4 has big battery. And undoubtedly, the rn4 developer support is really really great. Unlike Mi A1 right now, well, there is development going but..hmm..
The rn5 looks nice with that 18:9 screen.. not sure bout how will the dev support be for that device tho. Anyhow, loving my A1 :victory:
Easily redmi 5 or 5 plus. Mi A1 is good but the redmi will probably be so much supported on xda and that 18:9 display is gorgeous. And the battery!
It really depends on the taste of android u want. Mi a1 offers pure stock vanilla Android just like in Google pixels and redmi note 5 offers miui a heavily skinned custom Ron with loads of features.
Also mi a1 has dual camera for portrait mode shots and redmi note 5 doesn't ( I suppose). If u are a big fan of the latest updates offered by Google then mi a1 is the way to go.

Since Mi A1 didn't get any stable custom roms yet even though Xiaomi releases the Kernel Source, i'm afraid the developers left this device!
Hopefully redmi 5 and 5 plus get Xda developers Support, but till now no independent
thread for both of them

I'm still in this headache!
developer support for the phone is a MUST!
I was going to buy Meizu M6 note... same Mi A1 price and defiantly beats it specially with both Cameras, but since it doesn't have any Supporting i left it!

If developer support is a must for you, then I guess you should wait for xiaomi to release rn5 pro kernel sources and then get that phone. The A/B partition in the A1 might be one of the reasons why the A1 have not been getting much love..

Go for Redmi Note 5 Pro period.!
I have the Meizu m6 note and it's a great.
Great battery, good camera, no lag, but also no development either.
I have the Redmi 5 plus on order and had hoped it would be here by now. Ordered it January 29.
Hopefully it is supported.

IMO, since the 18:9 screen doesnt fancy you, then it comes to camera vs battery. A1 for camera and R5+ for battery.

According to camera comparisons, Redmi Note 5 has a vastly better camera even though it's single vs dual.
Not much seems to be going for A1 unforunately, except Oreo.
Hey guys! I just wanted to know is Mi A1 with Google camera performs better than Redmi Note 5 Pro or not.In stock Camera comparison Redmi Note 5 Pro is a clear winner but what happens with Google camera port.Can someone please compare and post some images and video samples of comparisons.
Thanks!
Mi A1 with GCam should be noticeably better than stock Redmi Note 5 Pro but, the Redmi will surely be able to run it too (just give it some time). The 5 pro should be better once it gets it. It is also packing a somehow superior sensor, Sony's IMX 486 while the A1 is running a generic omnivision sensor.

Redmi Note 5 Pro also can use GCam port later. So guess...who is the winner ?
the winner or the best one.. is the one we have right now.. :cyclops:
Current - it would be the Mi A1 with GCam . Soon , once the Note 5 Pro do have the Gcam installed , then my guess it will be better than the Mi A1 . Looking at the N5 Pro comes with a better lenses installed .
Yes mi a1 is batter far from note 5 and 5 pro.
MI A1 IS BEST MOBILE TILL TODAY 19-2-18-... USE IS CHEERAFULLY:laugh:
