Hello to one and all !
Unveiled two day's ago OnePlus One is passed into the hands of our friends at Android Authority who had the chance to get their hands on the Killer Flagships. The following three videos which gives us an idea about the design and handling of the new upscale 'cheap' smartphone that will be available (in small quantities to begin with) April 25, 2014. Three comparative tables and a few shots are also there to give you even more information between the technical and visual differences of the four devices.

i really think it's between the 7a and OnePlus One, though I'd add the m8 in that list
for me, I hate samsung phones...Locked bootloaders to hell
Find 7a looks like there won't be a lot of dev support, and the OnePlus One isn't guaranteed support because of cm (think N1)
so, I'd choose the m8 because of the HUGE dev community. all variants of the m8 are basically the same and thus most of the software will work from any of the variants
$350 for a beast I on this the only thing I want for this is a good kernel with faux sound support and this is my father's day gift

Many reasons not to buy the OnePlus One if you want a TOP smartphone.
Many reasons to buy it if you want a very good device at a very good price.
Sorry everyone, but there is already a thread for comparing deviced. Can I ask you to repost this into The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!
Hi all,
Was hoping for some advice, want to buy this redmi note 2 for $130 new vs a older lg g2 for $140 , the redmi note 2 looks great and has decent developer support but the g2 has a tonne of support but is a touch more expensive (802) version and a few years older.... Which would be a wise budget buy do you think for a year or 2 into the future ? Screen size etc and build quality don't matter as much as the dev support
Thank you
If you had said "LG G4", I would have no doubt, but regarding G2...
It truly depends on your expectations. I got the Note 2 hoping Xiaomi would be the cure to all evils, regarding chinese phones. I got it wrong, even if the phone is still a bomb.
However, in practical terms, the answer to your question is in the title of your post: it's a 2013 phone. Outdated from the start.
LG G4 is way more expensive than $140 , the G2 is still having tonnes of dev support has CM13 , remember its a nexus5 but with bigger screen
Why do u think the redmi note 2 is a bomb ??

Some people love the Note 2. For me it was OK. The Helio X10 chip isn't amazing, its A53 low powered cores but overclocked to 2/2.2Ghz. It also seems to be power hungry when in use.
I still wouldn't go with LG G2 though as its getting quite old. Perhaps get a G3 in the used market or consider getting the OnePlus X. Redmi Note 2 is an absolute No-no if you care about dev support and custom ROMs. Xiaomi hasn't released the kernel source and probably never will. All ROMs use stock kernel so they are limited in what they can do / bug fixing where you need kernel support.
Also I am liking the look of the Xiaomi Redmi 3 with its snapdragon 616 chip. But I will keep my distance from Xiaomi until they start releasing source code. I am a custom ROM addict like you, I love CM and that's what makes Xiaomi phones a no go, unless its the MI3 or MI4 which have full CM13 support.
I have both LG G2 and Redmi Note 2. I prefer Redmi Note 2.

It would be helpful to know your reasons.
Xiaomi is faste in daily use and it has a better camera and cpu. Lg has a slighty better contrast, but you see the difference only if you put them next to each other.
I have a One plus one so I went with a Lg g2 for a smaller size phone , development is much better and if its as fast as my nexus 5 then that is fine for my daily use I'll come back to look at redmi note 2 or 3 when one gets a marshmallow ROM
There is still an option for you to choose redmi note 2 now, but in the near future when xiaomi has locked redmi note 2 bootloader you should reconsider your decision. It means no custom rom for you. Theoritically there is an option to unlock this phone, but the proccess practically not easy, unless you only use custom rom from the day you buy it..

Yeah , actually if buying from aliexpress the note 2's come with the international ROM preinstalled so I'm guessing that's the ok ones that u can flash ROMs with as their bootloaders not locked yet
It all depends on whether you are happy to stick with the manufacturer's firmwares. If so, then go for the Redmi Note 2.
For my part, the next time I get an Android phone, I'll get one with a Snapdragon chipset, because developer support is far better with Snapdragon. For that reason, if I were you, I would go for the LG.

A couple of you have been critical of Xiaomi as being the best choice among Chinese options. I'd be interested to hear who your preferred Chinese manufacturer is. Lenovo and Elephone would be even easier to criticise. I guess that leaves Letv and Meizu.

TBH, I'm not sure whether the difficulty is with Xiaomi or Mediatek, so it is not clear who to criticise. The bottom line is that opensource kernel sources have to be released, but are not being released. Nobody is really interested in "whose fault" this is - and perhaps "they" have what appears to "them" to be good reasons (e.g., untidy or poor coding hacks, backdoors introduced, etc., or whatever) for not releasing the kernel sources. The fact is that the lack of kernel sources hampers development efforts, and perpetuates any errors, unimaginativeness, poor coding, etc., that may be in the firmwares. So Snapdragon it will be in future. There are Xiaomi phones with Snapdragon chipsets, so this is not intrinsically about Xiaomi.

Actually other producers released helio x10 kernel source,HTC is an example,so it's xiaomi's fault
I am sure they will release sources in the future...

This may be a silly question but is it possible to use HTC sources to build a kernel for rn2? Cause xiaomi didn't release sources for mi3 and mi4 yet there are custom kernels for this devices

Xiaomi's hardware is different to htc's hardware. Camera, sensors, display ecc ecc are not the same

they will never release source, cause they have never releaseed source for any mtk devices, only qcomm
g2 is a better choice if u wont keep it stock, else go for one which is cheaper

Well seems that I was wrong... But this means xiaomi releases kernel sources and there still is hope for us

Redmi Note 3 is one gem of device.
It is #1 selling and higest sold device of Xiaomi in india with 3 Millions sales in India.
It has over 7 Million users worldwide.
Still it hasn't been received miui nougat ,that's really shame upon miui to do with that kind of epic device, even mido has not that frequent activities on XDA like we have.
Petition :-
https://www.change.org/p/lei-jun-redmi-note-3-nougat
Currently ,there are 5.4k something supporters it has on change.org.
So guys ,who don't have yet signed this petition on change.org ,just go and show the level of kenzo users.
Please share your views on this below.
No matter how much petition we sign, xiaomi never never give updates to old handsets.
Only one generation is given never second.
It's their marketing strategy.
You want updated OS and new features (split screen), buy our new handset.
This is there policy.
Guyz, this isn't gonna work at all... Xiaomi already released their next flagship note 5....also its 2 years old device and usually OEMs offer one major upgrade for mid range devices which itself is great... But dont worry, till mi max gets updated, we have miui rom always..
Hi Guys In This Thread We Will Talk About The Official Oreo Update For Note 5
Any one knows any new news
Kindly post it :good:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung-galaxy-android-8-o-update
The weird thing For Now That They Put the Galaxy s6 in (These Galaxys may or may not get Android 8.0) category
And You can see in gsm arena they that galaxy s6 is planned To be Upgraded .
But They put The note 5 in (These Galaxys will not get Android 8.0) category
And If you asked me why I’m talking too much about galaxy s6 and the connection between it and the note 5 i find the answer pretty obvious ,
actually if you compare the hardware between them you will find that they have the same Chipset and the same CPU and the same GPU !!!!!
So You Can Say It’s Not A Hardware issue .
If oreo will not come to note5 and came for s6e then the devs will port it for note5

From Sammy firmware, like S8, S9 and Note 8, the problem are the kernel and libs, bur more for this last; And from AOSP, someone make a build and share in this forum.

I hope , but it will be a stupid move from Samsung
Accordoing to me , Samsung won't give Oreo to Galaxy S6. Because it have taken two major upgrades.
We can only wait for Galaxy A8 (2016). But on the other hand, it's not a flagship device. So, maybe Samsung will give Oreo to Galaxy A8 (2016).
There is no hope for me.
It's a joke not to update at least the s6 and note 5.
Especually since people went two years nearly with the note 4 and 5 being the only notes. And Samsung didn't give either of them justified updates making up for that fact.
Its not Samsung though. Sadly all companies are like this. Google is pretty much no better. And the only ones that give any more have weak uis in comparison.
And anyone claiming about i phones getting updates is clearly too niave to speak on the matter
Note 5/S6 Edge will receive at least 7.1.1. For Example Note 4 start with 4.4.4 and received 5.0.1>5.1.1>6.0.1=3 updates. Note 5 start 5.1.1 and receive 6.0>7.0=2. Next between android 7.0 and 8.0 are not much changes. So why no called 7.5? Maybe merketing and full of numers are reserved only for the newest devices.
This is why I'll never get a Samsung phone ever again. They are only supported for 2 Android versions, the software sucks, lack of support for Exynos cpu.
I've been impressed with the Xiaomi's I've used. The screens are not as good as Samsung. But even Samsung's screens are not good compared to LG.
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
