Note 8 Pro or 9S - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I have a new Note 8 Pro 6Gb Ram & 64GB, unopened.
However I have seen that I can now get the Redmi note 9S 4GB RAM (on promo) for the same price. The question should I order the 9S and return this one.
What is important for me is battery life, display quality and custom rom support. Overall Performance should be 'smooth' but I'm no gamer, just play the odd game.
Oh the size is important, I don't want anything too big. Just holding the Note 8 Pro, I am already thinking its already maybe abit too big. The 9S adds a couple more mm.
I guess future custom rom support for the 9S should be very good, it looks like it will be a big seller and having a Snapdragon CPU probably means more choice of custom roms ?
Any thoughts ?

Redmi note 9 pro aka note9s is way too big. And the finishing is not as good as note 8 pro. The thick black plastic around the sreen is thicker than redmi note 8. You can see from the side.
You should keep note 8 pro.

Redmi Note 9 Pro is not the same as Note 9s. For example, Note 9 Pro has NFC. 9s does not.

Hello All...
A 7x owner here.. thought I'd peak in on your thread
I hope you all are enjoying your new Note 5 Pro's !
For Your Viewing... I offer up a couple of links to some youtube comparsions of your Note 5 Pro vs The Honor 7x.
Memory: This test is interesting.. Please have a look
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKDhb1CZ29M
Camera: We all have our preferences here... so you be the judge..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VULfz1LXFxY
Screen: I concede this one to the Note 5 Pro.. :good: color saturation is richer than on the 7x.
Again guys,
Congrats on your shiny new Note 5's once kernel source is released.. ROM support will be plentiful...
For me it's Redmi note 5 pro.
The Note 5 Pro offers a lot better battery life and performance (both cpu and gpu wise). Cameras seem comparable. The Honor looks better (imo, I guess it's pretty subjective though). It is also more expensive but at the same time you won't have to import it and will get warranty wherever you are which is pretty important. It is also already available while we have no idea when the Pro will get a global version (if you need additional bands). Overall, I'd say the Pro is a lot better device but things like availability and warranty make it harder to choose.

Redmi Note 6?

Hi
I had bought the Redmi Note 5 global version, but lost it since I was mugged. Now I wanted to order a new one since I really liked the one that got stolen from me. But I got thinking, since Xiaomi loves to release new devices very often, is there a Redmi Note 6 coming soon? I'd sure hate to buy the Note 5 only for the Note 6 to come after it with better specs and design.
Thanks!
Edit: Doesn't have to be a new phone from the Note series, any Xiaomi phone that will have a SD SoC, and preferably the same size battery of 4000 mAh. I don't really care much about camera.
Redmi 6 Pro is available. Notched with 5.84" display and 4000maH battery. SD 625 as usual. Check it out.

This one slipped from me! It looks great tbh, apart from the chin and the notch. I've never had a phone with SD 625, is it noticeably slower than 636 on the note 5?

No difference at all during general usage like playing light games,watching videos and such.
The game loading time will be a little more than rn5 pro.

yap , sd625 slower in big difference than sd636 , but sd625 more battery friendly. suggest you keep on redmi note 5 pro or wait for mi max 3 .
There is a difference.
It is Redmi 6, that is replacing the old Redmi 5 series aka Redmi 5, Redmi 5a etc.
The current 6 is NOT note 6, but plain Redmi 6 pro.
Note 6 pro is expected end of the year with 7xx SoC

In day to day activities, the difference is very very less. May be in gaming, it might be a little significant. My brother has a Note 4 and it flies along well with MIUI 9.
Redmi Note 5 is still a better option than Redmi 6 Pro imo. SD 636 is way better than SD 625.
Thanks guys
I guess if I'm going to wait, I'd better wait for the new Mi Max 3 which is coming with a huge battery and a better SoC.

Still a best phone under 15k ? or suggest better..

Hi friends,
I want to know that, Redmi note 5 pro is still worth to buy, and if not then which phone is better under 15k.
My needs by ranking:
1. Performance
2. Battery Backup
3. Camera
I have seen multiple comparisons between several phones at this price range but didn't find any better, also as i am an android developer i think future development will be better with note 5 pro what do you think?
1. Pocophone F1 (it's really as good as it is)
2. Redmi note 5 pro (the mod support is too good)

Redmi Note 5 Pro still worth because it has gained a lot of Custom Rom and developers support.
But if Nokia's lineup(5.1, 6.1) or Mi A2 price drops then they worth Buying. I also see Infinix brand came with Android One. If you love Stock android then you might also try Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1.

planing to update to Redmi Note 8

Guys im planing to update Note 8 from loving note 5pro.. So what you think guys? Is there anyone who update to Note 8.. Please leave your comments..
My buddy just got the note 8t but the battery is worse? Camera is great though. I just feel like the overall quality is not up to par with the note 5. The specs are also pretty similar.
Not a good update from Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Go for AMOLED Display
Go for devices launched with Android 10 out of the box
Don't upgrade this I've gone back to using the note 5.

Upgrade to any Mi9 or Mi A3. They have better SoCs, similar or better battery and a good AMOLED screen. Also, modding community is really great for those devices.
If you wanna save money wait for a significant dropping of Redmi 8T, if you want to do a step forward look at Mi 9T.

Redmi Note 8 or Poco F1

I know, on paper, its no contest, But I am trying to decide between Redmi Note 8 and Poco F1. The difference between them is only £40
These are the important factors for me, the first 4 are must haves.
Good Battery life
Good Custom ROM support (now and future)
Headphone socket
SD Card
Notification LED
Reasonable Screen
Reasonable performance, (no gaming and was content with Redmi 5 Pro 4Gb Snapdrgon 636 until it broke)
I know the Poco F1 is much higher spec, but I dont really like the look (ugly cut out at the top and big bezel at the bottom). Plus because Redmi 8 is newer, I thought maybe better support for custom roms, in the future.
What do you think ?
Hi,
I had the Pocophone F1 and I now have Redmi note 8. Yes the F1 is faster but the notch is awful. The reason I sold it was because of the notch. Redmi note 8 ROM support is really ramping up and the teardrop notch is so so much better because android notifications were hard to see on the F1. Save the money and get the note 8.
Cheers dude.
I had used poco F1 ,now I have redmi note 8 ,forget poco F1 which I sold it after 2 months
Out of interest, what did you like on Poco and what is better on Note 8 ?.
Thanks

Poco F1 was okay, tbh I didn't really like anything about it other the the SD845. Redmi note 8 is good so far with pixel experience Feb build. MIUI is something I've never liked but my favourite android is stock always, I love it's simplicity.
Cheers.
