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.
Hello guys. I want question. Realme ui and phones better are xiaomi ? I hate miui , but love stock like android. So i uses many phones of xiaomi with custom rom , and after buying a mi3. But Xiaomi Android one is joke.
So i seems the realme phones , the gui is think good.
I ask the users what think about . Thanks
You got it backwards xiaomi is better than realme
Miui is better than realme ui
I have a rm5 pro yet i cant even use it to play rhythm games, the system or the phone itself is not optimized for super fast paced games.
Whats good with a overkill specs if you cant use it lol
I think they could be as good or even better if they fixed few things. Just a little compare : i had both Realme 5 Pro & Redmi Note 8T and the latter has such a POOR CAMERA PERFORMANCE in compare, it's crazy I also prefer RealmeUI compared to MIUI.
for me ist much better Xioami ( MIUI ) rather than Realme ( RealmeUI ) but if compare to colorOS,is choose ColorOS
Xiaomi is only better because they let users develop more freely than Realme by releasing and updating source codes often and faster. They've a handy, official unlocking and flashing tool while Realme lacks these too. MiUi isn't great but way better than Rui or Cos. My Redmi Note 4X mido is getting loads of custom ROM and kernel updates with over 20+ to choose from. It's currently on Android 10 without any noticeable bugs while official MiUi updates were stopped at Android 7.1. This is why my mido is faster than my Realme Q even though my RMQ is 4 times stronger than my mido. Custom development is everything in my eye. A well refined system a.k.a software can do wonders in a few cases.
While I was going through some videos, came across Revolution OS. Wanted to get a bit more information regarding the custom MIUI ROM, but found none on XDA. So, went ahead and tried it, seems like it is a ported Android 10 MIUI 12 for Redmi Note 5 Pro, from Note 7. Not really buggy, but the devices heats up and the camera quality can be considered bad compared to other available ROMs. Overall available ram and animation speed seemed much better compared to Xioami.eu rom. Might need a bit more fixes here and there, before it can be considered a better alternative.
So, wanted to hear more about other people's experience regarding this particular rom.
Never knew about Android 10 port. Thanks for the info. I'll try it.
Revolution OS is a Spanish ROM with features mixed from Global and China Developer ROMs. It's very carefully tested to avoid issues within the users, and it has a strict policy about bug reporting or testing. Currently, that Android 10 ROM, with MIUI 12, is a port from Redmi Note 7, adapted to the peculiarities of Note 5 Pro. It will be improved over time, only it's a preliminary version.
Hello. Im planning to upgrade my phone to a 'gaming phone'. Which as follows:
Red Magic 6, Lenovo Legion Duel 2, Xiaomi mi 11 Pro, Asus ROG 5, Black shark 4 pro?
The main problem is with software updates. From what I can find online, about 3 of the 5 phones listed, have really bad support. Pretty sure some older models are still stuck on android 9 and 10 on the global versions. While on the CN version, they are regularly updated.
So I was wondering if I could use the CN ROM instead, if support for the global ROM dont exist. If anyone with experience could share the pros and cons or insights, it would greatly appreciated.
Sorry if I sound really noob, because when it comes to mods and stuff, I have no experience at all. I would have gone the easier route with samsung, but these phones have specs that I am interested in trying out. Just that it would suck if I missed out on future android updates, like android 12 or something.
Thanks yall.

I think global roms are better than China roms here's why
First reason why global roms has google apps pre-installed
While china roms only have google apps installed on older china roms devices the newer phones with china rom does not have google apps pre-installed u could try flashing a custom rom to get google Apps pre-installed but I don't know exactly if it's gonna work
Second reason why global rom Is better is the bugs
On china rom their more bugs than global rom
Third reason why it's better is how it feels global roms feels better than China roms because global rom feels faster than China rom
Maybe i should
I want one too, just seems like no one has been interested in developing after the Poco x3 pro was dropped, being to do with the SoCs being used or something. I don't want to be forced to use garbage miui :'( or whatever the Poco reskin is called.

so there will be no custom roms for x5?
Would help if Xda opened a sub forum for the non pro model.
Yeah. I know this device just launched 5 weeks ago, but if I'd suspected the X5 5G would get so little love here at XDA, I might've gotten the X4 Pro instead...
I'm actually looking into compiling my own TWRP recovery for it, and an AOSP ROM when I've learned enough about custom ROM development.
Is there any way to request XDA consider opening a forum for a particular phone?

Well I guess you could PM one of the admins/mods, but final decision would be up to their goodwill (or lack thereof), evidently.
It would make a lot of sense to create a dedicated forum though, as the X5 is powered by the Snapdragon695 and not a 7xx series as the X5 Pro is, which *probably* means that ROMs for the latter wouldn't be flashable on the former -not without incurring risks anyway...

Can't the Poco X4 Pro and Poco X5 5G use the same ROMs as both have same CPU, GPU, chipset, architecture, flops etc?

There's usually a firmware, boot and vendor img difference which does make it incompatible, in most cases, and would need some tweaking to make it work right. But you're welcome to give it a test run, learn from experience. There are times with OEMs are lazy and it does actually work.

even for custom ROMs? Incase the X5 does't gain popularity (which seems to be the way it's going), I was wondering if we could use custom ROMs for X4 pro in the future.

Yep. It's uncommon to be able to use a different device's ROM even when the specs are similar. Unless you're using a gsi. It takes a while before custom roms start appearing after a phones release. Debloat and use as is would be my recommendation till then, if you already bought the phone. The Pro version is also likely to be more popular, among the enthusiast community, from what I can see.
So there's likely to be some trickle down effect of roms from the Pro versions to the non-pro

Which is ironic, because the X5p does not have any kind of possibility of storage expansion by SDcard (while the vanilla X5 does provide a shared SIM/SD slot), making even the 256Gb version utterly useless for my use cases...

To be fair, it's been a while since I've seen anything that has the 7 series chipsets to have a hybrid or dedicated SD slot. Just how the market playing field is, once you enter the mid-high range. Not great for the customer but that's capitalism for ya.
The Poco X5 5G may not be as popular as the Pro, but it's actually a very smooth phone if you don't play demanding games. Just received Android 13 update last night. My biggest gripe is the MIUI, which I don't like. After installing Nova7, the user interface is a lot more familiar and better.

For daily use, it is quite smooth, the camera performance is trash though. GCam fixes most of it but the videos are still grainy. The X5 might be catching on now as it has received a big discount on an e-commerce platform recently. Nova or Lawnchair makes the experience pleasing but you miss out the gesture navigation which is a bummer.
Hello!
Is it possible to turn off the images of the camera settings in the Portrait mode of the Poco X5 5G/Poco X5 Pro 5G?
If possible, then it would be possible to shoot video in video bokeh mode.
My phone turned itself off today. Has anyone had this issue before?

Seconded !
I've used the Microsoft Launcher for a long while before I bought the X5 5G a week after its global launchdate, but in the long run on MIUI 13 it turned out to be just too goddamn much of a battery hog...
So upon reading a comment from another member here that he was very satisfied with Nova I decided to give it a try, and felt so at ease with it that barely 20mins passed before I bought the Premium version. xD
But I do sorely miss the MS launcher's leftmost pane tho (the one where you can take quick notes and display your Outlook calendar, which is what I used it most for). :/

Yup. I traced it down to a dirty fingerprint sensor : some oil or grease traces would make it wrongly detect a long press or multiple short presses and trigger a shutdown.
A good, energetic cleaning with a rubbing alcohol-imbibed tissue then a thorough drying fixed it right up!
Any new news on custom roms? I want to get the phone on sale but I dread using MIUI
