Hi guys, i've broken the display on my Redmi Note 3 Pro this morning, it fell and it's all cracked. It still works and i've found someone who can replace it but i need to buy a new one, the full thing display+touchscreen. The problem is that from where i come from, Xiaomi is quite rare and the real posibility is to order it from Aliexpress, but i have to wait weeks for it. I found a local vendor that sells Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 displays, not the Pro one, but the MTK version.
My question is: Are the two versions compatible with each other? Does the Redmi Note 3 display fit and function on a Redmi Note 3 Pro smartphone?
Thanks in regard.

Hello everyone. I got a question about different xiaomi phones. So i am looking for new phone and at this moment the most impressive phones out there is xiaomi. Can you tell me please which one of these are the fastest with the best specifications not only on "paper" but when holding in hand as well. What i mean by that is some phones have pretty nice camera and cpu/gpu specs on paper but the camera in reality doesnt work so well and they are slow as hell after few months usage.
So i am looking into a phone under 300$:
Xiaomi mi4 (there is a lot of them, not sure which one is the best)
Xiaomi redmi note 3
Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro
If you got any other suggestion of the phones under 300$ feel free to post. Also do you know any legit sellers who sell in europe? thanks
get the Note 3 pro i.e. snapdragon variant, its the best of the lot that you have mentioned.
The difference between all those different models, if you ignore all their difference names (MI4, Redmi, Redmi Note, Redmi Note Pro, etc...) are the chipsets that are in use.
The MI4 phones run on SD80X chipsets, like SD800 (original MI4) and SD808 for the MI4S.
The Redmi series in general tries to be budget wherever possible, so most of them run on Mediatek (crap) chipsets, except for the indian / international variants of the series, as Xiaomi has been hit with a Mediatek chipset ban in india, forcing them to go with the slightly more expensive (but way better) Snapdragon mid-end chipsets.
Which brings us to the so called "Pro" variants of the Redmi series, those are essentially the indian / international market variants I've talked about.
Summed up they run on whatever the current mid-end Snapdragon chipset is, which makes the current iteration (Redmi Note 3 Pro) run on a SD650.
Performance wise, the SD820 is the king of the hill right now (MI5), directly followed by the SD650 and right behind it the SD810 and behind that the SD808.
So if you want the best bang for your buck, the Redmi Note 3 Pro is currently your best bet in raw performance and battery runtime.
For me there were 3 important things before I bought my first xiaomi phone a week ago. Sdcard slot, good specs and a low price.
Many xiaomi phones don't have a sdcard slot, so take a look on that. Redmi note 3 pro does have one.
2nd thing is the mediatek processor. I somehow don't trust them yet and since I wanted something more powerful than my old z2 I saw this nice benchmark in antutu of snapdragon 650 which convinced me.
One important thing before you buy any miui device. I recommend you to buy a pretty new one, at least one that comes with lollipop (updates may never come) and with 3gb of ram. 2gb of ram is really not much for a miui rom.
I bought my phone from xiaomiforsale, 5 days delivery (to Poland from Czech).

Hi, i want to know if I can replace the broken screen of my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro with a replacement screen of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Mediatek).
I think that I have read on xda that an user has switched the 2 screens but I can't find the post anymore for confirm...
Some sellers on Ebay say that they are not sure that the replace works so they sells it as "not compatible" with pro version.
On official forum someone has answered that it could works but they reccomended me to buy the PRO version.
The problem is that I need the screen and here nobody sells the PRO version.
I don't find differences with 2 screens also on connectors, anyone that has replaced the screen can confirm one of the 2 versions?
Thank You and sorry for my english.
It's basically the same phone so no reason it won't work.
I think the same but ebay sellers said me that it could not work... I'm confused and I don't want to risk money.
You can confirm this?
Hi all i have the same problem... I unmounted a Redmi Note 3 MTK for replacing the screen, but the phone goes on bootloop on Mi Logo. I tried 3 differents ROM with SP Flash Tool (xiaomi leatest developer, And two xiaomi.eu versions without preloader checked), but the phone stills stuck on boot image, and then reboots. The old LCD is KO and I don't know if is a LCD problem or an hardware-software problem (this isn't my first lcd replacing, i made this a lot of times without this kind of problem)
Ask such hardware related questions either on c.mi.com or en.miui.com an not promoting any kind of forums but well u will get better help der because it consists of the developers and Mi authorities

Hi, need help with this replacament.
When i bought this one, it is say that was a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x (4GB+64GB) Mediatek, in the INFO screen says Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 so i am not sure.
I already bought 2 replacament for him, first was too small, and the second the connectors did not fit correctly, so i need you help, can somebody giver me a link on ebay or other page to buy the correct one, i don't care if it is in china but i will prefer a usa seller fellas.
In the picrture you can see on the left mine, on the right the last replacament that i tried.
Please please help.
I love my Redmi Note 4X.
In the last two years I have replaced the battery, headphone socket , and power/volume swich assembly.
This phone has been better than any Samsung phone that I have owned.
However, the time will come when I will have to upgrade.
My question is this, what are you thinking of getting next, will you stay with the Redmi series of phones? Will you stick with Xiaomi? Will you switch to another manufacturer?
Share your thoughts.
I am also very happy with my redmi note 4x, I have changed the fingerprint reader and as a guarantee they have given me a new board, I may continue with Xiaomi in the mi range. Or I may buy some Realme or some new Samsung. It will all be a matter of seeing what budget you have.
