Oneplus 2 or Redmi Note 3?

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.

Is it possible to write/flash the Phab 2 Pro firmware to the Phab 2?

I would be willing to give it a go. I have both devices. Would like the Phab 2 Pro benefits like VoLTE on the Phab 2. Especially if Lenovo isn't going to belly up and update the Phab 2 any time soon or at all.

Mi Mix 3 5G or K20 Pro (9T Pro) or Mi Note 10 (CC9 Pro)

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.

Ubuntu Touch for Redmi Note 6 Pro Tulip

Is there any way to install Ubuntu Touch on Redmi Note 6 Pro? I saw they made a port for the Redmi Note 7
Never heard of, but glad if someone port it to. I can test it and help a little on the coding.

Which Device should I Upgrade to?

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.
