I am looking for a cheap phone for rooting purposes as well as installing custom ROMs. I have boiled the choices down to 3 phones.
1. Redmi Note 7s
2. Mi A2
3. Redmi 7
I like Redmi Note 7s a lot. But there probably isn't a thread on this phone on XDA. Are the Indian Note 7s and the global Note 7 the same phone? Are they both codenamed Lavender? Basically, can I run ROMs designed for Lavender on a Note 7s?
If not, should I go for Mi A2? Redmi 7 does not appear to have a lot of ROMs.
Should I consider other phones for this purpose?
Sorry if this question sounds like a noob, this is my first time. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all,
I understand that redmi note 4 is out now (or in the nearest future).
1. Is there a meaning for "Pro" attribute of the name? Or that Redmi Note 4 is the same as Redmi Note 4 Pro ?
2. I tried to understand what are the differences between Note 4 and its ancestors. I really could not reach a conclusion if Note 4 worth the waiting for it or not. Can you contribute your thoughts with me?
Thank you all!
The only Note 4 announced so far will have an MTK processor, so you probably won't be able to flash many custom roms. You might get CM12.1 at best. A "Pro" version using a Qualcomm processor is likely on the way. Overall, the Note 4 is not looking like it will offer much of an upgrade over the Note 3. I would go ahead and get the Note 3 Pro if I were you.
Hi everyone,
is there an seperat forum for China version? Because the Camera setup is different.
We need Indian and China Version separeted, dont we?
Thank you.
Nobody has an answer?
This forum is for the Redmi Note 5 (In India)/ 5 Plus with the codename Vince, both of which have a single camera setup. I assume you are talking about the Redmi Note 5 (International)/ Pro with the codename "Whyred" which has the dual camera setup. If you are talking about the latter, then head to the forums foe the Redmi Note 5 Pro.
How can we know which version we have?
My supposed to be China, how can I confirm?
Thanks

Hey guys im looking to upgrade my Redmi Note 4. So im torn between RN5 and Mi A1. I like the screen of Note 5 but I also like the A1 dual camera :/ . Besides bigger screen RN5 is not much of an upgrade... So i guess I just need second opinions
Mi A2 gonna launch in few days. I think you should wait for that
RN5 cameras are far better than A1's. Look at some reviews on YouTube. I would go Rn5, no doubts
Instead go for RN5 pro.
Combo of both bigger display and camera...
RN5Pro , definitely good development and best redmi.

Hello what do You mean by redmi note 5? Vince (sd 625) or whyred (Sd 636)
Ye I wasnt informed well. Redmi note 5 pro china edition is awesome. 5.99 screen, dual cameras.. I think ill go for it
Ok new question? What do you think about redmi s2 ? Is it a good upgrade from redmi note 4? How much better is note 5 from redmi s2? In my country Redmi S2 64/4 is a lot cheaper than Note 5 64/4

I think redmi s2 is just another redmi note 4 with different design, nothing is upgraded except dual camera bs
You could just stay with redmi note 4 . IMHO nothing wrong with it.
I myself just bought a redmi note 4 a week ago. I had the option of redmi note 5 pro, but I decided that 4 is better for my needs. 16:9 aspect ratio (yeah I don't like the 18:9 trend), physical navigation buttons, and camera that doesn't stick out of the phone are somethings that note 4 has and note 5 does not.
Hi everyone,
I have a Redmi Note 5 and a number of months ago I installed CrDroid Whyred on it. It's working fine. However, I see that I should be using Vince...or should I?
Thanks.
P.S. Just to be clear, it's not a Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Oh...found my answer, I think:
Redmi Note 5 - Whyred or Vince?
Hello, just come over to ask, want to buy my wife and me new phones and found the xiaomi redmi note 5 (global version). Specs are good enought for us, so want to buy it and want (of course) flash lineageOS but now i am confused with...
forum.xda-developers.com
Yeah, it's a Snapdragon 636. I must have worked that out before and completely forgot!
sorry if noob question, i cant find any other info online. since the redmi note 10s has little developmen support.
No, these are two different phones.
alright thanks
