Some questions

Hello
I am considering buying the phone but I read bad things about EMUI 4 and was wondering if the phone already received Nougat with EMUI 5?
I am also thinking about the Redmi note 4X, but since camera is important to me, I thought about the Honor 6X. Gaming is not important to me, just good battery life, camera and good software without lag

Emui 5 Beta is out now although stable version is released in China already. Never used redmi products so cannot help you there... But if you're looking to root your phone redmi might be better Cuz snapdragon processor....

For stable software better camera and better battery life go for honor 6x. For me the phone never lags even when playing games and the battery can reach up to 2 full days with moderate useage. Also ive saw many reviews about emui 4 being bad but i find it really good and im enjoying it so much

In Europe, EMUI 5 is been realeased OTA in these days. I haven't received yet, but I think I will soon.
I recommend you Honor 6x over Redmi.

I have used emui 4.1 and now using emui 5 beta in indian version I can say best os I ever found is emui its heavily customized plus with no lags nd I have tried almost every OS miui los rr etc but this one is different nd m in love with this OS

Buy the phone, and update to emui 5.0 ( MUCH MUCH better than emui 4.1) - although​you gotta waut for a week or two for the OTA official update

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.

Is Redmi S2 software 32-bit ?

Hello
I was and I am tempted to buy Xiaomi Redmi S2 phone. It has nice specs and in Europe there are more good deals for this phone (from 5% even up to 40% off) than for any other Xiaomi device.
I was about to purchase it but in the last moment I read a comment stating that I should watch out for this device because it’s hardware is 64-bit but the software (OS) is 32-bit.
Can someone tell me is that true?
If YES shall the owner be worried? Does it make additional problems?

I am having a Redmi S2 and yet I have not faced any issues. But, all the specs are just enough for Fortnite mobile except it's 32-bit ROM. Fortnite mobile demands atleast 3GB Ram and a 32-bit is.
Except that everything's fine.?

GAMES have issues with 32-bit OS, right?

Some games use 64 bit app_process to process it game, but however after 10.0.5.0 the Mobile Legend problem seem to be fixed

Can You tell me/us more as for why there will NOT be support for this device after August of 2019?
BTW Redmi S2 is the same device as Redmi Y2. Why? Cause in different regions of the world the name that Xiaomi uses to sell that device is different. The specs stay the same.

Redmi S2/Y2 will have Android Pie update in Q2 2019 but i can not confirm for Android Q update also device will get at least 2 MIUI update (MIUI 11 and 12)
e.g Redmi Note 3 released with MIUI 7 but it got MIUI 8-9-10.2

Is it better to stay with MIUI9 or to upgrade to MIUI10 when I know that MIUI10 will not bring Android upgrade?
And.... MIUI10 has ads all over the place. How does it look like from experiance?

So how about Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 Pro (the successor of Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred))?

Hey guys, I have this, and it's pretty good, should I return and just look for another option because the 32bit thing kinda worries me about the future of this phone.

I couldn't answer your question i am really sorry dude (I know it was one month ago)
I like Miui 10 performance but ads sometime makes boring.
And you can play pubg and other "some" games well. You can'y play 64 bit games like Fortnite because OS 32 bit you know and official MIUI 64 bit never come.

1) I will get a full refund if the return the phone.
2) I do play them occasionally
What phones do you recommend or I am thinking I could wait for the modding community to make 64 bit roms

How much money can you spend on a phone?
What games do You play mostly on your phone?

ATTENTION: WARNING: Xiaomi made it official that there will NEVER be a 64bit stock ROM for Redmi S2 and for Redmi Y2 (both are the same phones but different names in different regions of the world)

i have Redmi S2 its a good phone never faced any problems but from past couple of days fingerprint option missing and not showing, so how can i solve this issue please advice.

What about this one? https://amzn.to/346tPoL
I assume it's global.

Compared to the OnePlus 6

I'm currently using the OnePlus 6. Great phone. Has anyone upgraded from the 6 to the 7 Pro? If so what was the biggest changes - good and bad? Thanks.

You been living under a rock? Lol there dozens of articles about the specs, look and feel. Google OnePlus 7 Pro.

Will the camera update continue? 4.0.230

camera version has received two updates but oneplus 7 pro is not working anymore will the camera not be updated anymore?

Version 4 is for the OnePlus 8, see the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/camera-4-0-213-apk-mirror-warning-t4085739
I expect some enhancements to the 7 camera, but not on a regular basis... I think the OP7P camera is about as good as it will ever get.

it is not a nice situation, why is Oneplus unable to synchronize with its old phones, whereas Oneplus is a company that stands out with its software support

I will make some drilling on my phone & put cameras like on OP 8 pro on my OP 7 pro, then it will work...
