Hello dear XDA Experts
Which Xiaomi phone shall I buy that will be the most popular Xiaomi device for a long time (people will talk about it and buy it for a long time), have the longest support and have many and many custom roms made even after pulling it off the market and most of all custom rom Devs will love it?
Any answer is welcome to help!
Pocophone. The last one I remember was the Redmi Note 3. It was too popular for a long time.

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.
Hi Guys, I'm wondering if Mi4 is still worth it to get today. I have the chance on also getting the Mi4C instead. So I would like to know your experience with it and if you have had the chance to try and compare it to the Mi4C, what would you recommend me to go for.
Mi4 or Mi4C
I wonder if is it a deal breaker to get the Mi4c over the Mi4, taking in count both cameras and the processor. Considering also both with 3 gb ram, and software development such as custom roms and xiaomi official firmware.
Thanks

I did get the mi4 because:
- Better design (in my opinion)
- possibility to install w10
- more roms ( i think)
and in terms of performance and camera they are almost equal.
Mi4 should have better camera, F1.8 aperture size.
I am going to buy a new smartphone and the 2 alternatives are Mi4 3gb no LTE (my operator uses mainly 800mhz lte) and Redmi Note 3 Pro 3gb. Prices are $160 for Mi4 and $216 for Redmi. I don´t like phablet but the newer hardware of Redmi Note 3 Pro is also interesting... Any advice?
I'm not a pro, so my advice may be wrong, but I believe the Mi4 kernal is open so you can will get more longer term custom ROM support (eg Cyanogenmod) where as the Redmi might have better specs, but the kernel source may never be released and therefor you'll be restricted to whatever version of MIUI Xiaomi choose to releases on the device. I was faced with exactly the same choice and went with the Mi4. Infact I am about to install CM13 on it.

Ah, I was actually thinking of the Redmi Note 2 which hasn't got a kernel release if I'm not mistaken. I would go for the Note 3 in your case. Better specs, and bigger screen is a good thing too.
Not to bump a thread a few days old, but I'd say the Mi 4. I just bought one on sale for $145 or so with shipping. I was torn as well but the hardware is what appeals to me the most. I also like how you can install Windows Phone 10 on it, I might do that for a few days just to reminisce of my WP days.
I am using Redmi note 3 sine last 3 years and before that i used Redmi note 1. So basically i am Redmi fan. I am planning to change my phone. Realme 5 pro is going to be on sale in india soon. I am confused between redmi note 7 and realme 5 pro. I have no idea about Colours OS as i am used to MIUI. Also i have to move all my data to new phone which will be easy in redmi to redmi. Realme 5 pro is good and better specifications than redmi note 7 pro. I would have bought redmi note 7 pro but it was launched in march and xiaomi is not very good in providing updates to old phones. I am planning to use my new phone to another 3 years. So i am confused between these 2 mobiles. Pls help.

Note 7 pro. Better developer support, lots of custom kernals and ROMs(official) always up-to-date. Colour os sucks and they're probably making realme os probably will be just like ****ty colorOS. Don't understand why then can't use stock or stocklike OS. Ram management is trash too. Hardwares don't make everything better if software is trash. And ofcouse they're ruining their own phones with bad updates. Already made a big mistake buying this realme 3 pro. Wanted to return it but return period was of 8days instead of 10(appealed on 9th day) so they did not accept it but redmi note 7 pro was out of stock that time.. bad lunch for me meh.

MIUI OS was the main reason I fell in love with teri and I have made numerous people to opt for redmi over samsung. But I have heard that after update coliurs OS 6 has got improvement over colours OS 5. I am gonna wait for redmi note 8 launch to see if it suits my pocket. Thanks for your valuable feedback.
First I'm a huge redmi fan myself and i still use note 3. I'm can understand your confusion. I'm myself do a lot of research. Anyhow here is my take. Realme 5 pro is in every way of specifications superior to redmi note 7pro, Cant comment on color os though. So you should expect a price drop soon in redmi devices since both are priced exactly same. Another important factor to consider is that i read somewhere that they are sending free devices to some developers so there is a good chance development could see big boost. Redmi note 8 is based on meditek chip and not on the usual snapdragon unlike note 7. I know redmi note 3 didn't see much development around mediatek. And lastly redmi note 7 pro has a notification light which is missing on realme devices. Hope this helps.

Redmi Note 8 have a snapdragon 665, it's the Redmi Note 8 Pro who have a mediatek Helio G90T
As a pure android lover I'd go for Realme 5 Pro. I've never tried Color OS but not even planning to do so. I've spent a year with MiUi on my Redmi Note 4 (mido) and in the past 1.5 years I've tested every Pie based rom on it and I can surely tell it's way better than Miui. I'm sure it'll be the same for me with Color OS. Since the hardware of Realme 5 Pro is way superior compared to Redmi Note 7 Pro (charging, UFS storage, chipset), all it needs a good custom rom/kernel combo and I'll be swift and smooth. But that's my opinion as an android purist. I've followed android since 2.0 and been a fan of stock experience since then.
Why there are not many forum discussions for the this device. Is it because this device not popular yet.
I migrated from Xiaomi mi9. I was using mi9 for more than a year and can also see the forum discussions are very active including custom ROMs.

i think the combination of
- The most expensive MI device
- COVID
- Limitation of the international market, they just focus on China?

Yes. I agree with you. Due to covid sweep, this device couldn't get to European and global market.
We may have to wait until it gets into the hands of international users.

Or they all on telegram until proper development start's
The problem with Telegram is thats it just one massive thread.
I was expecting some custom ROMs already, MIUI is ok, but I got the phone intending to put a custom ROM on it ASAP and bearing in mind the good reviews it has got over the last 6 months and how hard it is to get hold of the global versions I too, expected a lot more activity here by now.

Which Channels?
- Expensive
- One of the first native Android 10 devices, therefore a lot of difficulties with development of TWRP due to its super-partition
- Mi 10 mostly uses identical hardware, therefore many threads are in that sub-forum
- Telegram channels lead to people not posting on xda anymore (which is bad, because any random guy can host those telegram device channels, so they can disappear, it's an uncategorized mess and search is bad)
It really is not very expensive at all if you do some minor searching - £713 GBP (8/256) including import fees to the UK is cheap compared to most other flagships of similar spec.
I was surprised to find that the Pro does not share the same forum as the standard Mi 10 seeing as its only the battery and the cameras that are different, certainly any custom ROM would simply be a mildly tweaked version of the standard Mi 10's ROM, it would have been far better for the phones to share the same forum.
Telegram also not many people discussion,i already join in mi10 Pro global,and already sign out also..useless
Telegram is so messy. Not easy to find the appropriate information. Would like to know which gcam and xml file that are best for this phone.
cmi was test dummy, Xiaomi tested 50w wireless charge, 90hz screen, and encryption methods then dumped it to the trash.
so i wanna get a phone but I'm stuck between too options a Samsung Note 9 and a Redmi note 10, which would be better to buy? only unbiased answers please

I won't compare cameras and storage and all but I can advise you in terms of software. Go with Samsung if you want clean and safe android. Samsung is also a data stealer (as people say) but MI steals more data because MI is known to put any virus or something (like clean master app) as system so, you can understand. Bloatware is a problem with both so can't judge that way. But, in personalization, MI is no match!!!! I mean if you want extraordinary themes (like iOS themes which almost change whole system!!!!!) then go for MI because there are no such themes available in Samsung phones.
I am basically a fan of Samsung but one time I broke my phone so I took it to Fxit Right. They said it will take some time to fixit so, in replacement they gave me Redmi I used it for some good amount of time. A real good phone but if you compare it to Samsung it doesn't stand a chance against it.
So, I would say go for Samsung Note 9 ..
