[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
am also waiting for redmi note 5 global version.

guys am new to xiaomi. how is android update on xiaomi? i mean say its released with oreo 8.1 how many major updates do xiami do to their phones? do they stay at oreo or P and Q will get to RN5G anyone with knowledge. how good is xiaomi updating to newer android versions.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] tech4rhm:
I think Xiaomi is worse when it's android update.I previously had Redmi 3s prime which was launched with android m and still it is android m.

You can expect android o for Rn5pro.Dont think about P and Q.

But as this device will have project treble support we only can expect higher android versions.

The only reason I chose Xiaomi again because it offer good specs in bugdet and the existence of XDA.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
that sucks. thanks for the information.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] kalangosxxx:
I'm look for that too since last month! But it seems anyone has the phone yet ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
have you noticed that in alienxpress android version says 7.0 not oreo.? that sucks

question

which are the xiaomi high range phones or flagships. as ive heard RN5G its mid range phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] kodorevi8ulis:
high range -> MI

in aliexpress every seller tells whatever he wants :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] bayad:
I think it's a little error from AliExpress because I've seen in many forums that the Redmi Note 5 Global Version will be on MIUI 9.5/Android 8.1 ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
thanks.

maight be a typo from alie xpress then.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

must be a typo then.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] kodorevi8ulis:
be careful

some stores/ppl they just say "global" and they actually mean that it's the chinise version with global rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
thanks ill wait till its available in my country. and be sure that i can get warranty in my country. as i heard many had problems and mi-mexico doesnt have an actual store or reapir shop yet. so many people frustrated that they cannot get any help with a phone that has problems. i need to do a lot of reasearch. or maybe buy online. will see . thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
This makes me wonder, Will the rn5 global comes with Indian 5 pro specs or China 5 specs? Coz both global and indian version shares same rom according to md5 hash on mi website.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] bayad:
I'm pretty sure it'll come with chinese specs ;)

You can have a look at the official China version specs here : http://en.miui.com/thread-2130525-1-1.html

And here is the Global version specs :

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Glo...artphone-Snapdragon-636-Octa/32854817812.html

For example, you may notice that the global version will have B20 frequency for 4G, unlike the Chinese version, but otherwise they are the same specs as the Chinese version :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
i think chinesse specs. noy sure if its a typo but it says android 7.0

the pro is only for india specs and bands. just as bayad says.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] reggiexp:
i Mena you will get updates (miui updates...) miui 9 miui 10 miui11 but they maybe all based on the same and ordi Version it's just the skin miui updating btw yiu don't see difference with miui if you upgrade android version cause miui skin is so modified you only see the miui difference and not the android...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
i see but i mean important new features llike in nougat we had doze oreo has improve phone speed. UI will be different but its good to have new features that helps towards battery and phone performance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
I don't think it's a typo coz Indian and Global will share the same ROM. And only 7.1 is available for Global right now on en.miui.com. So we don't know yet if it comes with 8.1 out of the box.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] bobola:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] SkilesAwaRz:
So you may have ordered a CHINESE 64gb for you, and a GLOBAL 32gb version for your wife ?

As HKG shows on product page : shipment expected on may, 1st.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] L-ViZ:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
then 3 weeks shipping and about 15 days to unlock the bootloader. - FIFY

New phones - 15 days

Old phones - 3 days

F*** the unlocking time. I miss my old rn3 days.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Pumpino:
How many days did it take HK Goldway to dispatch it and for the tracking to work? Have you received it?

I ordered a 4GB/64GB unit with DHL shipping a few days ago after they confirmed that they had stock. They claim that it's been sent but the tracking doesn't work, so I'm not sure if they're really waiting for stock.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] zerodi:
I waited almost 2 weeks , I know they had stock because the guy at tech tablets received a unit from them..... So I didn't check tracking yet but normally from experience it takes a few fays for the tracking to show up
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Pumpino:
Was that with DHL shipping? I'm not sure why it takes some sellers several days to dispatch. I don't know that they're shipping thousands of phones daily.

I have decided to buy this phone too.

I would appreciate if you tell me when the XDA Forum for the Redmi Note 5 Global Version is open. Meanwhile we can stay here xD

And I don't know if this is against XDA rules, but maybe we could post here the good offers we see around the web. I have not ordered it yet. I have to say I'm from Spain and if I buy it from a China warehouse I will have 1 year warranty but if I buy it from a Spain warehouse I will have 2 years warranty, so I'm waiting, but probably from a Spain warehouse it will cost some more money
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Hampa_D:
Have you seen any EU offers? The only thing I've seen is ibuygou but I'm uncertain that it actually ships from within EU.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
There would be no separate section for Redmi note 5 Global version just like Redmi 5 Plus global. They may change the title but not going to specifically create a separate forum for that. You can discuss all about Redmi Note 5 Pro/Global/China. Btw why do you think that it needs a specific forum? I don't see any point in doing that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] bayad:
Maybe because hardware differences between these 3 versions (camera, network bands,...) and custom ROMs incompatibility ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
They're just minor hardware differences. One rom can fix all the issues if we have more testers for RN5 china/global variants. Lineage OS developers are actively working with china users so they improve cross-compatibility. I'm sure other devs can also achieve this and make it operate on all variants. But do you think this really warrants a separate forum? This is what I felt. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] GCAF:
The users of the largest Spanish-speaking forum about android have made group orders several times to that store, so I think it's safe

As [MENTION=3923918]bayad[/MENTION] said, mostly for the camera and custom ROMs compatibility, I think
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] bayad:
If I understand correctly, the devs are testing ROMs on the Chinese version to fix the bugs on the Global version right ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
Seen users testing it on the rn5 china and passing the logs to devs. Right now no user has a global variant with them. May be some Indonesian users can join in next week. If xiaomi makes a single working rom for both global variant and indian variant, I guess it would also work with custom roms, right? That's what I'm trying to say. If oem acheives it, then devs can too. They just add extra patches, drivers for all variants in a single rom and rom chooses it dynamically. Remember rn3 fingerprint sensor was changed mid way from fpc to goodix, and xiaomi provides drivers for both sensors. Likewise, camera can be optimised for all variants with right blobs.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] bayad:
OK. We will see what the future holds so :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Hampa_D:
I've only seen the comments on their gb page, not that good if I say so.

So it turn out, that global version has got different camera sensors. How is it going to impact custom rom compatibilty ? Or mebay how hard will it be to make global specific challanges to already existing whyred sources to get the camera working ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Hampa_D:
Any more info on the difference?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] raza_maestro:
Well to be honest it won't affect the compatibility that much as tweaking camera sources shouldn't be very hard for the indian version. Also i dont think most of us will be using the default rom camera, instead most will ise g cam which should work on each variants without any issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] pro4ever:
Anyone in UK purchased one?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] MikiGry:
[MENTION=4717461]Justourimage[/MENTION]

Redmi Note 5 pro

back: Sony IMX486 - 12 mpx - f/2.2 - pixel 1.25 µm + Samsung – 5 mpx – f/2.0 – pixel 1.12 µm

front: Sony IMX376 – 20 mpx – f/2.2

Im sure, that front camera is going to be 13 or 12 Mpx instead of 20mpx

And back cameras shoud be different as well, because i heard somewere on xda, that installing global firmware on Chinese or Indian version breaks both cameras functionality (camera app FCs)

Edit:

Samsung S5K2L7 - f/1.9 12Mpx back sensor

Thats the back sensor in global version according to kimovil

So Redmi Note 5 global = Redmi Note 5 pro China + LTE B20
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] Ghoul159:
Yes bro, you're correct

Redmi Note 5 Pro Camera Sensors:

Rear : 12MP, Sony IMX486, 1.25μm, f/2.2 aperture

Rear secondary : 5MP, Samsung S5K5E8, 1.12μm, f/2.0 aperture

Front : 20MP, Sony IMX376, 1.0μm, f/2.2 aperture

Redmi Note 5 Global/AI Camera Sensors:

Rear : 12MP, Samsung S5K2I7, 1,4μm, f/1.9 aperture

Rear secondary : 5MP, Samsung S5K5E8, 1,25μm, f/2.0 aperture

Front : 13MP, Omnivision-ov13855, 1.12μm, f/2.0 aperture

Now everyone would say RN5 Global/AI camera is very much better compared to RN5 Pro. I say, to each his own.

I also bought redmi note 5 pro global version, but from gearbest, chinese warehouse. The spec is saying that it has b20, but I am worried about the description... It says that it has miui 9 (not miui 9.5), and there is no info is it android 8. In the question section someone asked, if the phone from Chinese warehouse is still official global, and gearbest said yes. I hope they are not cheating :)

I bought this phone few days ago and the auction was saying that they will ship it between 1st - 4th of May. Currently this auction is not available anymore, they open the new one with higher price as a pre-order.

Thanks
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] certifiedsandwich:
I've been a long time fan of any ROM made by zonik so I'd recommend XenOS-Z V2.

https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-xenos-v1-0-updated-14-12-2017-t3719334

Well optimized for battery life and overall super stable. One thing though: After installing use his XenOS-Z App, go to Extras -> Fixes and install the Screen Flickering Fix. Sometimes the Auto Brightness setting can make the screen flicker around a bit and that fixes it. Other than that it's the ROM that worked best for me.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Samirmathakiya:
Hi,

With the all Oreo roms out there for our zuk z2, developers had tried very hard to bring camera2 API to our device.

Though still we are missing those incredible night shots from stock with long exposure upto 32 sec.

All Oreo roms supports exposure time upto 1/2 seconds only.

This is a request to all developers please add support for long exposure time in manual camera.

Some developers had achieved this through modifying camera libs of their device.

Hope some one will look into this.

I know this is not easy and might not significantly important to all but this is humble request to all developers.

Thanks.:)

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Samirmathakiya:

I think very few people are interested in this or didn't aware about the power of manual camera controls !!

If more and more people requests then may be some developer will try to do the same.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] firedoge:
Seriously, a good range of shutter speed is needed in manual camera. In oreo roms other than zui, i get a max of 1s exposure time in Lightroom's camera. Nothing good. Zui stock camera had 32s exposure time that was impressive. Rom developers are throwing at us several features but this part is always overlooked.

Also, in case of video recording, I cannot get 60fps or truly 120 fps slo-mo working in oreo custom roms. And recording is also much darker, i mean it is useless to record video anymore. These things need to be taken care of, rather than some cutting edge features, devs should fix these first (if it's possible)
