Hi all,
I am thinking of buying a new Smartphone. In my country Realme 5 Pro 8GB/128GB and Redmi Note 8 Pro 6GB/128GB are similarly priced. I am really really confused between these two.
Which one should I pick?
You expert opinions are required.
Thanks in advance.
I have the similar thread in RM 5 Pro Forum. Which is very active.
It looks like RN8 Pro is not getting any support like it used to have before.
A few of the Chinese resellers have this listed already around the £650-700 mark which seems like good value for the spec. I bought a Find X2 Pro recently in the same way and got on well with it but ended up sticking with the P40 Pro I had as I thought it was slightly too big. The X50 Pro+ seems to have the same dimensions almost as P40 Pro. Really like the look of the 'leather' version.
Anyone else thinking of getting it?
I am also thinking of getting it, or a find x2 pro myself. I had a mate 30 pro 5g which was really nice and despite lack of Google it worked well for 90% of my normal apps. As much as I dislike funtouch os,at least iets you autostart more apps which makes using the phone in the US easier vs oppo which I think still limits to 5 apps autostart.
Looks like the Vivo IQOO 5 and 5 Pro are better options, for me at least. Both variants support B28 and B20 (unlike the Vivo X50 Pro+) and that's important to people in Europe. Both have the Samsung GN1 sensor just like the X50 Pro+. And it's weird but the non-pro IQOO 5 has a bigger battery - 4500mAh vs 4000mAh of the 5 Pro and 4350mAh of the X50 Pro +.
Prices:
(From Giztop dot com)
Vivo X50 Pro+ $839.00/€713.15
Vivo IQOO 5 Pro $859.00/€730.15
Vivo IQOO 5 $689.00/€585.65
Is it possible to get 960fps slow mo on Realme 6 Pro like Redmi note 9 pro?
Yes, it is but you have to buy REDMI NOTE 9 PRO
Is it proper for me to politely ask here, if Everyone can either
a) (preferred, I'd think)
create a new sub-directory for each model
or b) in EVERY post, please say, redmi note 9 Pro Global/Indian/Max
I just purchased one, using on AT&T in Florida, and am EXTREMELY confused.
The phone is running great, but the different models and monikers are driving me crazy.
PS: has the redmi note 9 Pro (global) been rooted yet?
(is it easy? Hard?)
thanks
You´re absolutely right, I find it very confusing too. I´ve just ordered a Redmi Note 9 Pro, but it seems I will be getting the Pro Max (which is good), but it wasn't even advertised as Max.
Here's an overview of the differences between the Pro and the Pro Max:

Xiaomi are spectacularly good at totally unconventional naming of their products. I found a great YouTube video that does a good job of revealing just how confusing it all is here:
Is this device worth buying right now with OOS13 already released ? Is battery timing fine on OOS 13 ? How will you rate OnePlus 9 Pro as compare to OnePlus 8 Pro ? I also heard that camera of OnePlus 8 Pro is better than OnePlus 9 Pro but I don't know if it is true.
I wouldn't recommend any oneplus phone anymore. What they did with the "merge" with oppo and their garbage color os is unacceptable, for me that was the nail in the coffin.
A13 is fine. OP9 is the last OPs with a public MSM, so it'll probably have the most support long into the future unlike the newer OPs.
If you want to buy a OnePlus device, this is pretty much it.

Yes, it is, despite what the cryers and naysayers have to say about OnePlus (some of which is valid, I'll admit). Stay away from the 10 series, as it doesn't have a publicly available MSM tool to recover from bad flashes, which is why there's no custom ROM development for the 10 series. Might also apply to the 11 series, too, we'll see. The 9 Pro, by contrast, has healthy third-party support, so it'll be usable for a long time to come. (I'd be inclined to say the same about the 8 Pro, though I've never used it.)

I wasn't going for 10 series anyway. I asked which one is better between 8 pro and 9 pro. I have decided to buy a 9 pro.

Good choice. I know you were deciding between the 8 Pro and 9 Pro; I only mentioned the 10 series just to contrast it with the 9 Pro's healthy third-party development. I was personally hoping to get a 10 Pro a little while back, but its lack of third-party development pushed me away from it (I got a refurbished 9 Pro off Amazon for a good price instead).
The 9 Pro still rocks on XDA with Development. I sold my 10 Pro since it had no development at the time...
I have both, I bought the 9 Pro because the 8 pro broke the screen, I can say that Only I noticed difference in the cameras, the 9 pro is better in this matter.
Just bought a used OnePlus 9 Pro for 340 USD in clean condition.
Thread closed at the OP's request.
