Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro, or pro prime? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello, I wan't to get this phone, but I have no idea if I should take the 3GB+32GB variant over the 2GB+16GB one. The difference is 40$, is it really that worth it? Thanks.

please help me, if possible

from where? the best price right now i think is here: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-3-Pro-5-5-Inch-FHD-3GB-32GB-Smartphone-371104.html

Whats special about the prime edition?
It says in the following link"special version b7,b20....etc" ......are these radio bands??!

And yes the 3gb ram is much better in multitasking and the 32gb rom lets you install more apps without the need to root to move such apps to sd card.

Redmi Note 4 64gb 4gb ram Snapdragon vs 32gb 3gb ram snapdragon?

Hey im about to order 3 redmi note 4 phones but i just wanted to check one thing i am looking at the 64gb global version with 4gb of ram and the snapdragon 625 soc
is there any other difference between the 64gb and 32gb version with 3gb of ram?
and is the rom support the same for both from what i have seen there is no separate roms for the 64gb version so im assuming it is the same as the 32gb version other than the storage and ram but i just wanted to check before i ordered them
Thanks

Yes, you're correct. Everything's same except RAM & ROM. As you said, Roms are compatible. Better get 64gb variant as you'll get MOAR AND MOAR storage. :silly:

Is there really a Snapdragon version with 4Gb/64GB? Unless this is an absolutely new development, all 4GB/64GB versions I have seen are MTK.

Ofc, for some time already. I have one for $270. It's really worth it, they are brand new.. on my box it says the phone was manufactured at 07.2017 so the phone left factory less than a month ago, crazy.
Well, well - it seems that Xiaomi is really going strong with the SD RN4. Perhaps we will also get an SD 6Gb/128GB soon? Personally, I would prefer better cameras, NFC, and a 5000mah battery ...:fingers-crossed:

Planing to buy Mate 10 64gb, few questions before I do it

Hello Guys,
I’m considering buying Huawei 10 (NOT Pro), but since it’s not officially available in the countries I spend most my time in (Poland and UK), I’ll have to get it from Chinese shop. Having said that, I have my concerns and I’d be glad if you could walk me through them. My apologies if some on those questions were already answered, but some of the feedback I’ve gather from this forum come from the “early days” of this phone and I don’t know if they are still valid. Let’s get to it:
1) Is the system in Polish language? It might be under “(…) and many more languages” but I’d like to know
2) I should be looking for version L29, correct? Are those “international” versions on sites like https://www.giztop.com/huawei-mate-10.html really international, or just Chinese ones with switched software?
3) My current phone is Oneplus 3 – and I admire the simplicity of almost-stock Android. How much off a detour is MIUI in comparison? Will I have to deal with a lot of bloating in the system?
4) Since there won’t be a version for “big” markets like US and UK – could there be any issues with updates? Will Huawei abandon the support for international version anytime soon – speculatively speaking? Or is it possible for them to introduce this phone to US/UK/PL, but later?
5) I’d be taking 4gb 64gb version, but I’ve been using 6gb phone for a while now – will this “downgrade” be visible in daily use?
6) I’ve seen some complaints about the camera. I understand it’s not “perfect”, but right now I’m using oneplus3+g.cam port from Pixel 2 – so I should still experience a bump in quality, right?
7) I want to buy it from this site https://www.giztop.com/huawei-mate-10.html. Is there any reason I should pick a different one/wait?
Thank you for all your future answers, and apologies for a longer post.
Cheers!
I'm in a similar situation. I'm planning to buy from eBay the international version. The sellers there are based in either France or Ireland, they say they give you a year warranty but crucially you have PayPal protection.
I've seen other sites where a minority of phones never turn up or are broken and it's incredibly hard to get the money back.

1 - I don't know for sure but it should be there !
2 - Yes L29 is the version you should look for ! You can get one from here https://www.ebay.fr/itm/NEUF-HUAWEI...234857?hash=item4b2e0e4729:g:41oAAOSwytJaE9rW that's where I got one for my uncle
3 - EMUI is very customised version of Android but with big possibilities for themes so you should be able to make it look as you want
4 - We can't be sure of anything in that domain ^^ I just left Samsung because of giving update slowly... But for sure as the flagship of the brand it should get update faster than others
5 - It'll not. Some may not agree with me but 4gb of Ram is largely enough today !
6 - As I'm not a professionnal I could not tell ^^ but for sure Mate 10 camera is amazing and will only improve with software update improving AI
7 - As I answered on 2, you can get it from dwi on ebay, I've took 2 phones from them (S7 dual sim and Huawei Mate 10)
I live in the UK and I bought the L29 version, it works fine and you can select the system language when you setup the phone. The only issue I found is HiCloud wouldn't work but I rebranded to the L09 version and everything works
To answer your point 6
I'm also using a ported version of the camera app on my previous phone which is a Xiaomi Mix and the phone is notorious for its very poor camera lens.
It surprises me totally what software can achieve where the hardware fails at.
Even on the ****ty camera, the software managed to capture IMO equal or more details as compared to M10 on the pro mode.
So at the end of the day. Your OP3 having a better lens than the Xiaomi Mix should experience probably equal or maybe seeing a 5 to 10% bump in details.
If there's ever a chance that M10 could have the ported camera from Pixel on our phone I'll definitely be a very happy man.
Hi jay. I too live in the UK and planning the buy the L29. Was the re branding just to get the hicloud? Or were there other features?
Thanks

Here you go my friend : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...amera-5-1-016-174405463-android-apk-download/
It's working on my Mate 10 Pro, imo it gives a little bit less blurriness and the photo is clearer in overall, sadly it lacks some features for our phone
Give us some results about photo quality please

Thanks for the link. I'm not referring to the stock Google camera but the exact one on the pixel phone.
https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/www...gle-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/amp/
It is the HDR+ that makes all the difference but sadly Google only enables it for the Pixel phone.
Hey sorry to jack this thread but whats the drawbacks of the Chinese version, bloat ware?? And wouldn't it get updates faster?
Also, wouldn't it be a better idea to buy the AL00.. 128 GB, 6 GB RAM Chinese Mate 10 version if you wanted to keep that 6GB of ram?
I just killed my HTC 10 with water so I'm thinking upgrading to the 6GB ram version would be a better move coming from 4GB. I just wish it wasn't so expensive lol 4GB international version is about $800 CND on ebay..

id like to know this too, also:
so which Huawei Mate 10 Pro 128gb version are you supposed to buy? there's L29 on ebay, L09 on clove uk website. handtec uk HM10P128TG, what's the difference between all of these? dual sim on amazon uk 128gb. L29 on wondamobile international version.
eglobal uk CN version. eglobal prices vary for 128gb version, why is that?
sorry so many questions!
essentially i'd want to root and custom rom, is there really dev support for this, I'm coming from samsung and devs have been a lot etc. im over samsung note series lol...
thx
Does anybody knows any store in USA that have Mate 10? My friend is traveling, at Orlando right now and he will bring to me. I don't know how customs works at USA so I think it's not a good idea to buy at Chinese sites

Well that's the Mate 10 Pro, not the Mate 10, the Pro does not have an SD card slot. I don't know what the CN is but the L29 I had was for the Singapore market, so Huawei Cloud didn't work until I flashed the L09 Firmware

yeah I noticed it's the pro, tbh I wanted the finger scanner on the back. I'm going from a lifetime of sd card to no sd card. feel like I'd need a tutorial on how to go about that and backing up consistently lol....
think I can get away with no SD card
so how come they list an item with no model number?
also can you change the soft key buttons placements? move them into opposite spots etc lol?

I personally don't recommend changing the hardware on it. It would be better to just flashing a new ROM and use modded gcam app.

Redmi note 5 pro Chinese ver is also great. But xiaomi phones are the best choice at this price. If you are comfortable with higher price, I'd recommend a used essential phone.

256GB Poco F1: does it really exist?

Wherever I read about the specs I can see that there'd exist a 8GB RAM + 256GB storage version.
Even here on XDA. But not on XIAOMI web site.
Is it just a hoax?
Yes top end armoured Kevlar edition comes with 8gb Ram and 256 storage. It's available on mi website.

Do any real people actually own them or are these things unicorns?
Real people out there, reply if you have one!
yes there exists a 8gb+256gb version available to buy it may be available only in India and China but we can buy it easily through the Indian website
I remember at launch the 8/256mb versions were on the sunsky website, but I read that some people having ordered them had their orders cancelled soon after. Still haven't actually heard from a single real person with an 8gb version, armoured or otherwise
Now I think this is just another hoax, a marketing bait.
If you cannot buy it, then it doesn't exist.
No European-specific sub-sites for mi.com show an 8GB/256GB device.
A few have the "armored" item, but still at 6GB/128GB.
Maybe in India you can have it.

buy but don't expect rom any soon. buy at discount and don't buy 12gb version. gt is essentially a budget device. no point of buyung 12gb version
