The only notable difference between the two devices seems to be the camera and processor. Camera isn't a concern for me cause I don't use it much but processor and developer support (read custom rom support) is very essential. So which one shall I buy?

If you can, you should just go directly for the 5 Pro, but stocks will be hard to come by for the coming months as it is kinda hot right now. The Note 5 does everything and isn't slow, but the 5 pro does it much better with the upgraded processor. Mostly the hardcore users would notice the performance difference from both. For day to day use, both do them quite well, as well as battery life.
Also. Even if you don't use the camera much, it will still provide better pictures for the times that you use them.
Custom Rom support would be good for this device as most Redmi users that look for an upgrade would buy this phone, chances are developers would join in too.
Overall, the 5 Pro is superior in some aspects, but the 5 Plus isn't something to scoff at either. It would depend on whether you think the upgrade is right for the price as both do quite well with their arsenal of specifications.

ROMs for Note 5 are already out while development of Note 5 Pro hadn't started the last time I checked.
Anyways I have decided to buy Note 5 Pro. I'll try my hand at porting RR if nobody else does

That's probably due to the fact that the Note 5 AKA 5 Plus has been out for a month longer before the Pro, but I'm pretty sure the Pro will catch up to the Rom supports.
Also, enjoy the 5 Pro. If only I knew they would release the 5 Pro, I would've waited, but sadly my z00a gave up on me so I had to buy the 5 Plus rather hastily.

I have the 5 Plus 4/64. It's an upgrade from my z00a and I have no complaints, but the 5 Pro is just better overall.

Do you live in China? It's called 5 Plus only in China maybe.
I'm just waiting for my exams to finish so I can get a new 5 Pro!

No, I'm from PH actually. There are a lot of resellers locally and online, although ours here orders them from China directly through a supplier.It was pre installed with the fake global rom but Bootloader was unlocked so I was able to flash the EU rom.
You'd be lucky if you can buy it right now since it usually ends up out of stock. But maybe it was just in India.

Already unlocked bootloader?! I guess the reseller did it?
Here in India we have flash sales every other week or so. Stocks last for 5-10 minutes. So in April I'll find the date and be ready at the specified time.

Most probably, since they have to install the Vendor rom which, AFAIK, would update itself automatically to the global version when it officially releases.
Well, that's good since it's an India first phone release, units would be high per restock there. Hope you get yours bud.

So I was still in the fence about getting this or the x2 pro... But eglobal have all but stopped stocking the 9t. An and the news recently that xiaomi has discontinued the phone! Wow it's not even a year old....
What gives?
The Mi10 will come out next week and be the successor of the Mi 9 series. So I advise you to wait until the next model is released, I expect a price drop on the old models.
that's the reality of buying a xiaomi phone, you should buy it within the first two months of release, or buy it a year later when the new version is released and the phone you wanted gets a price cut.
I would still buy the 9t/pro over the mi 10 or a newer phone because I don't like the notch or punch hole in the screen.
hopefuly xiaomi releases a 10t with popup camera and 120hz OLED screen later in the year (or maybe a under screen camera)

This will become a norm going forward, as tech advances at a rapid pace, 1 phone model won't get a full year in the market.
Once discontinued from production, for how long Xiaomi continues to provide OTA updates?
Usually about 2 years after the sale stopped (so in total 3 years). In the second year maybe 1-3 updates, in the third 1-2. This might change with Android 10 though, as less integration work is needed for updates.

Well under Android, phones must be get a minimum of 2 major OS updates, so it shipped with Pie so we will get Android 11, after that it's up to Xiaomi if they want to continue supporting or not, most likely they won't though.

I don't think it's discontinued in all regions. Still having strong sales in India atm
Is this the reason why we're stuck at a November security patch (Raphaelin)? Or am I missing something?!
Might be because of Corona virus currently, it's well possible that most employees must stay at home at the moment.
Mi 8 pro is 2 years old, has a snapdragon chip and is powerful enough not to take advantage of. My question is why has not anyone done that? There's next to no support for this device on XDA.
Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8-pro/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-xiaomi-mi-8-pro-t4114271
Compared to Pocophone and Mi 8, the Mi 8 Pro is really abandoned. And to make this 2018 line worse, it will prematurely lose Xiaomi support this year, receiving only security updates. The right thing would be to be abandoned on MIUI 14, but at most he will receive MIUI 12 running android 10. Lucky for those who bought the normal Mi 8, which will run up to android 15 thanks to the support for custom rom that he has. That is the price you pay for wanting to have an exclusive cell phone, in our case, the Mi 8 Pro. Honestly, my next cell phone will not be a Xiaomi, but a One Plus. Look at the One Plus 5, which was released with android 7.1 is officially receiving android 10! Xiaomi Mi 6 died on android 9 having launched at the same time as Op 5

Why is not possible?
Because OneUI 2.1 only came out in the last couple of months...
That's like me saying I've been using the Note 20 pro since January...
100% ??

Well I guess the Note 20 is gonna have the same issue like the Note 8 as its released with OneUI 2.5 Android 10 and Samsung has OneUi 3 Android 11 beta out for S20 devices. 1 year of updates is already gone

Pretty sure that's always been Samsung's policy, release with older Android then after a month or 2 roll out the newer version thus using up 1 of the 2 major updates...
Though from the Note 20 they are promising 3 major updates (which in reality is only the 2 major updates we should have had in the first place)...
Exynos 7870 devices has One UI 2.1/Android 10 Port, look: https://www.xda-developers.com/one-ui-2-5-ported-samsung-galaxy-phones-exynos-7870/

This extends to the S10 series as well: https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-release-three-android-os-upgrades-galaxy-devices/
this is so boring.... even s8 has ROMS with s10 & s20 ported stuff. Only always N8 is the last and have poor dev support
I'm considering realme 7 as my old phone (poco f1) developed hardware problems. Can anybody give me pointers how is the phone (india edition)?
Seems there is not much community support which is a bummer :crying:
Bro it has several issues like realme UI lag even you play subway suffer it has touch issue problem my phone got battery drain issue , heat issue so i suggest you to better go with Redmi note 9 pro max in diwali sale. The only thing i like on realme 7 is camera rest is disappointing
Brother honestly saying I'm using this phone R7 since last week , I haven't came through any major bugs that could be a deal breaker for me but yes I have noticed once or twice(only - not persistent) Ghost touch on my handset unless that using it seamlessly as daily driver .
Actually the thing which is now bothering me is the REALME.UI . Nothing wrong with the phone , on paper specifications/Hardwares provided are top notch at the price point I got this phone( RS.12700 - 6/64) only development sucks , I like stock Android Pixel experience kind of ROM & this Realme ui sucks with lots of bugs and poor Ram Management.
Thanks bros. Dropped idea of realme 7
Main reason was lack of community support for realme phones in general. Realme 6 users still also struggling to get proper root which is scary.
Got my poco repaired instead, hopefully it will last.
