I'm about to buy a phone called Redmi Note 5 Ai but it resembles the Pro one a lot. Are these two phones the same? If I purchase the Ai one, will I have any trouble using roms from this forum? Sorry if this has been asked before, I just got really confused and couldn't find the exact answer on the internet.
Hi
I bought Redmi Note 5 AI and all roms for Redmi note 5 pro do work.
Both Note 5 pro and Note 5 AI have the same codename (whyred), so all whyred roms work on AI and the PRO variants
Okay, thanks for the quick answer! Again, sorry if this is a common question and has been answered before.

Hey guys,
I have the China Redmi Note 5 Pro. Will the official Indian global rom works on the China Redmi Note 5 Pro? Since the camera is slightly different

Yes, I think it'll work but maybe you'll face some bugs in camera.
Maybe some experts in this forums can help you...
Hi guys!
I know this will sound like a really stupid question, but which is my phone? GearBest, the place where I ordered it, it's calling it Redmi Note 5 but, according to the hardware, appearently is a Note 5 Pro? I'm really lost here. This is the link (https://pt.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_1660528.html?wid=1349303).
Thanks for your help!
Looks like the Global Version Redmi Note 5!

Thanks for the quick answer! But I'm still confused, should I stick to this forum or move to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 forum?

That forum is for the Indian Redmi Note 5, which is a rebranded redmi 5 plus (china). Codename: - VINCE
^^^ That is why Indian's have a Redmi Note 5 Pro
So if your getting WHYRED, stay in these forums.

Yes is it Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Global Version with SD 636
I figure it out by installing Antutu, but does all Redmi Note 5 with dual camera considered as Pro or Whyred?
Chinese or Indian have same Whyred name?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 China/global and Pro share one codename which is WHYRED. China and global version are almost the same (global version supports LTE B4 and B20 and China version doesn't ). Pro version has got different front camera sensor
So whenever You see Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 with dual camera and Snapdragon 636 it's code in WHYRED. If frontal camera is 20Mpx - it's Remi Note 5 Pro. If 12Mpx (or 13Mpx I can't remember) it's China or global. LTE B20 and B4 supported ? Then its global

So the ROMs discussed in this forum (which is technically for the 20mp front sensor model), will work on the Global version too?

This entire forum is dedicated to both RN5Pro and Global RN5, both labeled as WHYRED. So most of the things should work on both, unless it's noted otherwise. The builds (both rom and kernel) are unified, as it was done with OP 3/3T.
Hi,.
I own a redmi note 5 and naturally I go to thread redmi note 5 / 5 plus. But I notice the code name doesn't match.
Now I confused, should I go to redmi note 5 pro??
If I'm not mistaken my note 5 is code name are Why red right?
But why two same thread on xda redmi note 5?
And what the sidéré ce between note 5 and 5 pro?!
PLS HELP, THX
EDIT : MY NOTE 5 have 636 snapdragon less ram 4 instead of 6 and have B20 4g
China redmi note 5 = global redmi note 5 ≈ Indian redmi note 5 pro( only camera is different)
Global or China redmi 5 plus = Indian redmi note 5
Indian redmi note 5 (single camera ) is Redmi 5 plus in china.
Indian Redmi note 5 pro (dual camera) is Redmi note 5 in china..

Yes I really don't understand all of this complexe and useless name.
If I not mistake, I own a note 5 pro but in France it's call note 5!.
I have dual camera, B20 bandwidth, snapdragon 636.
I read note 5 have snapdragon 625 and less 4g bandwich. Note 5 is only the Indian version and note 5 pro the global.
INo?! I'm going crazy!!?

yeah, just like others said, the naming this time was really confusing.
India : Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred, SD 636)
CN/Global : Redmi Note 5 (whyred, SD 636)
India : Redmi Note 5 (vince, SD 625)
CN/Global : Redmi 5 Plus (vince, SD 625)
so basically, there just 2 versions of Redmi Note 5, Indian version (RN5Pro) and CN/Global version (RN5)
so yeah, this forum is the correct one for your device
just make sure if u wanted to flash custom roms/mods, use the CN/Global version

Coz they released whyred in India way earlier than China and Global. So xda made a placeholder with name Redmi Note 5 Pro. But seems like many global and china users want a separate section....they submitted a request to xda to separate RN5 Pro from RN5 China/Global. If you want to support that, then do so
For me, I'm fine with the name Redmi Note 5 Pro.

correct, but this was 2-3 months ago, can't the section renamed ?
@Ghoul159 i don't believe that the problem is to have different sections for rn5 and rn5pro (the rn5 the world has, not the one for india )
but i believe that the section must renamed to something like Redmi Note 5/5 Pro cause the device is the same (cammera's different) and after the latest roms (i think) they have also all camera's drivers included
the confusing section is the other, the Redmi Note 5/5 Plus , this has to be renamed , to something like Redmi 5 Plus/Note 5 India (sorry but 5 plus is the first released device and also the name is for all countries except india)

The other one is already renamed to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus. I don't know if they do this for pro too. But it's up to xda. And I just that said many global users are wishing to separate RN5 Pro altogether and create a new section for RN5 global/china users coz of slight hardware diff. This is kinda absurd imo. But I support changing name to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro. It's possible only if more users submits a request to xda staff to change the name

Thx guys for the response.
Dear Folks,
can you please correct the subforum name? Redmi Note 5 Pro is only being sold in INDIA with this name. The whole other world calls the whyred "Redmi Note 5".
Thanks
This is correct and wrong... The correct name of forum should be Redmi note 5/pro or Redmi note 5 pro/ai

And your just adding to the confusion!
There is no AI version, even though some sites incorrectly labeling it as such.
There is Redmi Note 5 Global or China version and Pro Indian version all with the codename of WHYRED!
Indian version was release first, and that is when these forums where created and thus adopted the other versions.
Redmi 5 Plus ~~~ Redmi Note 5 [India] ~~~~ vince has it own forum under the RN5 name.

Still you get the impression India is the middle of the world. Shouldn't a device being called by it's international name when it's a international forum? Really ... that's no good explanation since it was clear from the very beginning that PRO will only be the indian version.
Just avoid any confusion, all the version is the same under codename WHYRED. Just rename it to Redmi Note 5 (WHYRED). DONE.

Remember that not everyone know its codename. Your suggestion would also confuse the Indian folks, so there is no "one-size-fits-all". I suggest it's left just the way it is right now.

Though just so you know, the "AI" bit isn't part of the official name. It's just something resellers have added because AI such a buzz word now.
It is Redmi Note 5 with AI Dual Camera, or in the screenshots the 'with' is dropped.
There is no "AI version". There are three different Redmi Note 5 models, the Indian version (sold by the name Redmi Note 5 Pro), the Chinese version (sold by the name Redmi Note 5) which has a different camera setup and there's also a Global version which is the same as the Chinese version but with additional LTE bands.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/specs/redminote5
They are all codenamed 'whyred' so their software is fully compatible in theory but some ROMs only support either version because the Indian and Chinese versions have different cameras.
