Hi,
I am confused between redmi 4 or z2 plus. I am considering Z2 because I was using mi4 earlier and I want to try some other UI other than MIUI.
Is the extra 4000 worth spending if I don't play a lot games and the usage is pretty much basic. And i wont be installing any custom rom. i don't want to buy redmi note 4.
Has z2 improved after the nougat update as many channels on YouTube has pointed out heating and camera issues?
Kindly help.

This device is really good, I never had any heating issues nor camera issues, it is more powerful than redmi 4 prime (my brother have one) but not as beautiful. But if you really don't want to flash any custom rom, then take the redmi 4 prime, zui is really not good. Its problem is not the performance or heating but the design and ergonomy. It is catastrophic.
Ps take redmi 4prime not redmi 4 if you choose it
Doesn't worth it.
Thanks a lot. That was really helpful.
I have Global 4/64 GB Redmi 5 Plus and unlike the Moto G5 Plus, it has system-wide performance issues, especially visible when you reply on Messenger when watching YouTube video. MIUI 9 was supposed to be "Lighting Fast", but Xiaomi appears to be a terrible liar this time...
If you face lags change the ROM
I bought mine from China it was laggy I flashed miui EU now it's smooth

Hi,
I just got the redmi note 5 ai(global) 2 days ago and so far not impressed with the game performance. In shadow fight 3 there are lag spikes constantly and in modern combat 5 there's some audio issues(audio cracking).
My phone's firmware is 9.5.6.0 global. Is it the firmware's fault? If so, can you guys suggest me some roms? I heard that chinese rom's performance is better. Should I switch to that or should I just wait for the next global release?(when is it coming anyway?).
Another thing, if I unlock my phone and flash a custom rom would it void my warranty? If I switch back to default before going to service center, everything should be fine right?
1- yes i have the same issue , sound cracking specially in SoundCloud and performance not equal for 636 chipset
but im still on the miui and waiting for update
2- as far as i know yes you avoid your warranty by unlocking your phone and you cant revert that
Unlock doesn't void your warranty, it's even written in the unlock tool.

Stay on MIUI till there is a update for global developer rom. MIUI is always going to the most stable. Xiaomi is working on MIUI 10. So we should see a release in next couple months. Next month we should see a update. Bug fixes and system improvements.
I would suggest you to install both miui 9.5 and LOS, thanks to Multirom
In fact (at this moment) i find LOS as stable as the MIUI (also if LOS is unofficial). You should really try something like this
Hi everyone,
my Oneplus 3 is history as of yesterday. I really liked it for the past years, but now I need something new.
My priorities have somewhat shifted so tge Oneplus 6 is just to expensive imho atm.
I had a Redmi Note 3 these past years as a backup phone and besides a few flaws it performed well enough.
Therefore I'd be thankful if some of you can shed light on a few things which may have changed with the Redmi Note 5.
- the Redmi Note 3 tends to get quite warm, especially in summer when you're outside. That just doesn't feel safe for the device. How are temps on the Note 5?
- the wifi has always been a thing on my Note 3, I have way worse wifi than with my Oneplus 3 or anyone else for thst matter. Has wifi reception gotten better?
- I can't stand Miui, I'm a stock Android guy. I need a stable, daily driver rom with a Vanilla Android look that comes with ota updates. How are we doing with this on the Note 5? Official Lineage coming?
Anything else that might help my decision making or would be good to know?
Greets & thanks in advance!
5 Doesnt heat much,
Never had a prob with wifi
Go for AOSIP very stable and snappy

I loved my Kenzo, was my first Xiaomi phone.
I find that this one heats up less than the Note 3 did, which would make sense, especially given the 28nm SOC that the Note 3 did.
Wifi is pretty good on this one, I don't have any complaints.
Plenty of options for custom roms, given that you can also use Treble based rom's as well.

I think, in the first line he mis-wrote note 5.
So it seems the Note 5 would be a good option for me...
What are your major downsides so far?

Wow, don't blow up the internet because of a typo.
I meant to write Note 3 Pro.
it's a good upgrade from RN3Pro, much stable, good battery life. This phone only gets warm if you play some games that stress the gpu.
It's not hot if you use it under the sunlight for hours, not like the RN3Pro.
it's a budget phone after all, don't expect the quality as high as the flagship one does. But for the phone in this price range, I don't think twice to buy this phone haha

A good suggestion from me.
Unlock bootloader of your kenzo, install twrp and flash miui 9 8.4.12 or 8.4.26 port by orochi with agni kernel 12.2. Then your kenzo will never heat and will work very well. No issues in these ROMS. These are the best ROMS I have tried and I am still using the 8.4.26 port by orochi.
You will fall in love again with kenzo.

Probably, but I just can't work with Miui. I need a Vanilla Android Rom. It's not that Miui doesn't look & work good, but I'm so used to Vanilla, I just can't adjust.
But thanks for the tip anyway!
I've been using a Oneplus 5T lately and bought a Note 5 "for fun". With Miui its kind laggy but gestures are pretty good.
Using RR on Note 5 now and it's quite OK, not as snappy as Oneplus 5T but fast enough, only gesture navigation is not really good (bad detection).
Happened when I had Redmi Note 3 Pro and is happening again, imho no point to spend more than what you spend for a Note 5 really (thinking my Oneplus 5T costed almost 3 times as much...).
RR = Resurrection?
I won't use gestures (besides quick pulldown & apo drawer opening), so I guess I'm fine there.
Honestly what could get annoying is the camera. But then again, the OP3s camera was rubbish aswell.

Definitely. I changed from RN3Pro to RN5 and I'm happy. I haven't feeled any urge to go custom yet (1-2 months since i got the phone). The only downside is you have to be carefull with updates, because Xiaomi has implemented anti rollback feature without warning people. Also camera still needs some fixes. But I'm happy i got RN5
Interested to hear more people's opinions. I'm still using my RN3P that I've had for over 2 years now. The only thing I'm really looking for from the RN5 is an improved camera. I replaced the battery about 5 months ago and am able to still get 8-11 hours SOT with it. Love this damn phone so much.
Placed my 4/64 global RN5 order a few days ago. Can't wait. Hope it is a worthy upgrade to trusty Kenzo.
last friday i bought 64 gb rn8 ... used it after note 5 AI ... global version ... i felt that animation is too laagy and miui not smooth at all in touch,typing, and animations ... 3 days later recieved miui 10.3.5.0 ota ... things became much bad .. what the hell is that ??
Weird, no such issues even after updating to 10.3.5
The whole UI is smooth, no lags.
Same to me dude...
Also changed note 5 to 8... My old 5 working million times faster and smoother, mine is Chinese version.
I never saw such non optimized rom on xiaomi phones. Note 8 is just insanely retarded phone
