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

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
I'm planning to buy a Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 6B.
But, one of my friends told me that Signal Strength & Call Quality of Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is inferior when compared to Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Is there any truth in that or is it just a fake news?

I suggest you buy RN5 Pro.
If u buy ZenMaxPro .maybe you will be disappointed.
I bought ZenMaxpro over RN5 Pro last Monday bcu i was bored of using Mi Devices.
Within one day..I started Regretting my decision.:crying:
Poor customer support btw.
Title says it all. Tell me about each device (it's pros and cons) and which should i buy. Price is not a issue (between this phones i mean.). Thank you :fingers-crossed:
Please don't start a war between these 2 phones as i want real reasons.
Bump. I really need some suggestions
You can search on YouTube, there is many video about comparison between ZFM Pro M1 and Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Get a max pro m1. Period.

Pros and cons? Can you tell.me why is it better than note 5 pro?
On note 5 pro You can't play pubg on HD and with Hugh fps, the game even stutters when the graphics are on balanced and on medium frame rate.
On m1 the HD graphics and high frame rate works good.

I don't want to buy a phone for gaming. Besides both of the phones have the same chipset yet you claim that max pro beats note 5 pro at framerates. I know it is from the software but hey.

I have zmpm1 6gb variant and i also use rn5 pro.
Camera of rn5 pro is better than zmpm1 , sharpness saturation levels are far better and no fading when you zooming the pic plus you can record slow motion video in rn5 pro(slomo of rn5 pro is just amazing) .
MIUI is far better than the stock ui of zmpm1, because in zmpm1 there is no essential customization. You may feel bored after using zmpm1 for a while.
Obviously you can play pubg in hd graphics on zmpm1 but there is serious network issue, if you play online games on mobile data then you realize ping is so high that you can't play the game properly.
Only pro of zmpm1 are battery and sound quality both are amazing.
In rn5 pro you can't use 2 sim cad and micro sd at the same time but in zmpm1 you get 3 slots.
Zmpm1 receives many updates but Every update brings new problems.....
So in my opinion you must go with RN5 PRO

Interesting arguments. You think the phone will hold me more than 2 years (terms of updates)
Whyred has miui, zui, zenui, aosp, LOS, OOS by port or by sgsi, but ZMPM1 has in built treble support but very slow development. Whyred is for flashaholics.
Buy which ever you like
I personally bought max pro m1 6gb variant and don't have any issues. I play a lot of pubg and the ping is always under 100 ms. No network issue for me.
And I didn't face any bug or problem in software
I compared the cameras side by side and the amount of details my phone captures with gcam is insane while note 5 pro just makes everything more dark colored. + I don't use cameras so much so it don't matter to me.
Don't know about software updates on note 5 pro but Asus is getting up to android Q. +miui devices heat a lot.
It's your personal choice I preferred Asus over xiaomi. Buy whatever you want.
I have both Asus max pro m1 4Gb and Redmi note 5 pro
Trust me... Get asus....
Battery---I get really low sot on Note 5 pro whereas I get 14+ hrs SOT on asus max pro m1..
Performance -- asus wins
Camera-- I feel camera quality of asus is better because redmi note 5 pro Overexposes all the pics...looks unnatural....
Updates --- Pie is around the corner and We will get Android Q also...
UI-- If you want a slow cluttered UI which makes simple tasks difficult...get RN5P
Asus stock rom is the best...
Face unlock is faster on RN5P whereas FP sensor seems to be same...
One major plus point for Redmi note 5 pro
You can use it as a Heatpad if you have backache because it gets burning hot while charging..lol
Why having this discussion... Go for Redmi note 6 pro or wait for azmp m2

Stock, non rooted. With airtel 4g. Mobile data.
I never had heating issue with any mi phone (redmi note 3, 4x,5pro, max2) .
Android Q ? First Asus try to give Pie.

Note 6 pro looks good but after i tested it in the store with my friend's Note 5 pro, i realised that Note 6 pro is just Note 5 pro with a notch.

I looked in the forums and i realised that Max pro m1 is getting a lot of issues with the new update : Battery drain. Not my cup of tea.
I noticed you gave more cons on the note 5 pro than on Max pro m1, giving me the impression that you never ever tested a note 5 pro.
My friend who owns a note 5 pro doesn't have any of the issues given above. I agree that the software lags (it sometimes lags on 3gb ram version, 0 lag on 4gb ram).
I am sorry but your arguments are invalid here, but thanks for the opinion, i guess..
Also Note 5 pro has quite a full development range so the laggy software can be easily fixed with a custom rom.

All phones that don't have any kind of thermal cooling can heat. Adding thermal paste that is a higher grade (arctic mx-4) will solve any heat issues in the device, at the cost of more external cooling.
Both asus and redmi use the metal back and frame as a external heatsink. If you play without a case then it will ofc heat up.
as both (6gb) were listed at 7000 at refurbished i need to know which one to buy for flashing custom roms and playing games while a one day battery backup with gcam as my main photography app.
if you know which one to buy please suggest since both are around same price
Just my opinion
--> Photography - Redmi note 5 pro is using Sony sensor while M1 pro is using
Omnivision sensor
-> Battery - M1 pro is using a beefy 5000mAh running on stock android Pie while Redmi note 5 pro has only 4000 mAh running on MIUI
-> Both has the same metal body
-> Both is running Snapdragon 636
-> Both has 5.9 IPS display (18:9)
-> Both has active devs for custom rom and kernel developments
Reason to buy Asus Zenfone M1 Pro - Stock Android, impressive 5000 mAh battery
Reason to buy Redmi Note 5 Pro - Sony sensor for better Photograph results, MIUI
In the end It's your call sir which phone will make you happy :good::good:
bought max pro m1 for the battery thanks
Hello all,
My mum uses a Asus Zenfone Pro M1 (Non Pro) device for past two years and obviously the software on it is utter rubbish, so I was looking in the used market to grab a Pro M1 model as it has better hardware and obviously stock android. I bought one at fair enough price but today after receiving the device I see that the phone takes horrendous photos, compared to the Non Pro M1. I have to take a lot of photos of documents, and all the photos significantly lack details, especially at the corners! The Non Pro M1's photos are much sharper, to a shocking extent. I tried a GCam mod but it's the exact same as default stock camera found on stock A10 ROM!
Here are two comparison photos. Please have a look at these and confirm whether I have a dud camera or is it something else.
