Hi,
Have you tried posting your question here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277 ?
And I would personally suggest the Le Pro 3 if you don't care about software updates and custom roms.
If you do care about those, you might wind up getting one of the Xiaomi you cited.
Or you could get the Xiaomi Mi A1 with stock Android (Android One) on the expense of less processor power (but good software).

Actually, I was wrong about that!
Usually, LeEco doesn't officially update their phones (what a shame!), but XDA has great support for few of them and luckily for you, the LeEco Pro 3 is one of those. You can check out in the Le Pro 3 development forum.
I'd say that the Le Pro 3 has more software support than the Mi Note 2 and the Mi 5. Xiaomi also doesn't really provide periodic updates. And the Le Pro 3 has more support on XDA than these phones.

Thank you so much

Pretty cool that you found that out... i even didn't have a look cause i thought there is no support at all
But i think i will go with the le Pro3
Ye you are right with Xiaomi, but if they bring huge updates they include nearly every device they ever made ( f.e. MIUI 9 update)
so i will have a look if i find a good sales price !
thank you so much for your help !

[Q] xda dev support for xiaomi

he there i just want to ask why xda dev don't support xiaomi devices as other other brand
i mean the mi note is in the market for a while and the mi note pro is around the corner
but there is no form for them while the galaxy 6 and one m9 has not been revealed and there is already form for them
Xiaomi does not release kernel sources or does it very slowly. Without sources dev support is impossible.

Xiaomi already has a huge dev support, you probably know how many people are living in China right ? As long as you can use your phone in english, tons of roms, or multilanguage roms updating themselves every week.

Best Upgrade from nexus 5

I wanna upgrade from this device due to lack of VoLTE.
Which is the best device?
1)Mi A1
2)Moto G5 plus
3) Nokia 6
4) Lenovo P2
5)Lenovo Z2 plus
6)Redmi Note 4
If I missed a budget phone please write here. Budget is around 14-15k INR(₹). Need a good phone with nice battery, camera , performance..
UI is not an issue, I can live with custom ROMs
Camera- Mi A1,Moto g5s plus, moto g5 plus
Battery-P2,
Dedicated SD slot- Moto g5 plus.
[email protected] if Amoled.
Updates- Mi A1, Nokia 6, Moto( if you are lucky)
Performance- z2 plus
Build- Nokia 6
Design- personal choice.
Value package: Redmi note 4(4+64)@10999+ bank offer.
I wish you could wait for new launches....may be till Oct- Nov. mi A1, moto x4 A1, Redmi note 5, lenovo p3, Nokia 7.
If i had to replace my Nexus 5 now, i would probably get a moto g5 plus. I prefer phones about 5", so the Nokia 6 and the p2 are nothing i would consider.
Also(unlike the nokia 6 and the p2) the g5 plus has a snapdragon 625 which is manufactured in 14nm, which results in better power efficiency. The Snapdragon 820 in the Lenovo Z2 is also made in 14nm process.
I would also consider the Xiaomi mi5. It's very light and the ceramic version looks extremely nice. You can find it for the price of a g5 plus in europe, i am not sure about india...

I replaced my Nexus 5 with an used Pixel XL 128G several days ago, for 2300 CNY, about 350 USD, and the phone is very new though.
BTW, how about Moto X Style? I bought two for both my parents, and I think its a very good phone, despite the official ROM is on 7.0, still you can use a third-party ROM instead.

Yeah, OnePlus Nord was the most hyped Phone of 2020 I guess. Any 2021 variant in your mind? I just want to gather opinions.
OnePlus 9 series was just released and has good reviews so far....here is XDA 9 Pro forum example:
OnePlus 9 Pro
The OnePlus 9 Pro is a 6.7" phone with a 1440x3216p 120Hz display. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset is paired with 8/12GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage. The main camera is 48+8+50+2MP and the selfie camera is 16MP. The battery has a 4,500mAh capacity.

Brand new to android phones, help me pick

Hi guys! I dont know where to ask, i have seen about 25 ish videoes on youtube, read some sites.. read some more sites... and... read...... you get the point
I am new to android phones, i went from Siemens, to Sony Ericsson to Iphone as my smartphone, i have had Iphone sience the first iphone. I am very happy with my iphone. BUT.. i wanna try something new.
I have decided between One Plus 9Pro and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra.. i dont know why Samsung is there, but might have something to do with it beeing abit main stream. I have never heard about OnePlus.. and certantly not Xiaomi ( i dont know how to say that name irl).
I am not a Photographer or Videomaker, but i want to use the Camera alot of my phone.
Out of these two, what would you guys reccomend and why. Answers like "Pick the one you like" , "S21 ultra is the best" or " Xiaomi " does not work for me. As i have never seen the two brands, i can only know about them from you guys and the rest of the internett.
As far as i have concluded: Both have amazing screen, Both have good cameras, Both as fast and Xiaomi have better battery, but does not look as good as the OnePlus. OnePlus is also cheaper
Would i as an Amature Photographer, Videomaker and Android user see and feel the difference?
Only one is for sale in my country atm, but i can wait for the Xiaomi
