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.

Will note 8 pro have development support with that mediatek chip?
I recommend for redmi note 7 pro
Can Someone tell me when this Happened? Flipkart is showing note 7 pro as android q ready. (Proof in attachment)
Not a big deal, As note 7 pro has been updated with MIUI11 with 9 pie .They know Q will be available on violet as soon as MIUI11 gets updated on all Mi Phones.
This is a strategy used to sell available models of note 7 pro.
And Violet will soon be updated to Q.
please a question, the xiaomi mi 11 Pro will not be released globally? I researched and would like this information please.. a seller Aliexpress said he can change the language, because the chinese version has only chinese and english .. maybe flash another rom. he said that doing this will take another 15 days to send. saw a tutorial that make the global flash rom in minutes. work 5g in Brazil?
There is another problem, when you use not global version, chinese changed soft you will not have netflix on HD etc
Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro can be very easily converted from Chinese Version to Global or EEA.

How to do this? Do you have any links?
I am planning to buy Mi 11 pro CN since Xiaomi 12 does not seem to have an IP68 rating
Hi,
All information you can find at this forum but first you must unlock bootloader (official unlock through Xiaomi) and it takes 7 days. After that you can choose right for you ROM (Global - hevily based on Google Apps, EEA - less Google Apps, EU Custom - close to original Chinese ROM). I sold my 11 Pro but now I regret it.
Just buy it and after that contact me again. In meantime you can register to Xiaomi.
Regards

Why do you regret it? The camera it's awful, no Desktop Mode, USB 2.0 instead of 3.1....

Camera isn't awful - most flagship smartphones have similar cameras now, they all perform really good
Which global Xiaomi smartphone has desktop mode? MIUI+ is still in beta and only available in China (MIUI+ doesn't even have english interface)
And no Xiaomi phone has USB 3.1 - they all have USB 2.0, including the recently announced Xiaomi 12 phones..
That's why I've said that Xiaomi phones are awful. About the camera, I can disagree with you, even a P30 Pro that's a 3-year-old device is performing better than a Mi 11 Pro....

Sorry, You are wrong about the camera. Just got my 11 pro which I also had before and then sold it (just had to return to it ) In the meantime I had p30 pro, p40 pro, S21 Ultra, Find x2 pro...The Xiaomi is better than those smartphones, at least in my eyes.

Why do you say it's better? The zoom's awful, night photos are pretty bad, and daylight photos are not ok. Also, no Desktop Mode, USB 2.0, and software with bugs, you need to complicate with Xiaomi.EU rom to solve this...
I really hate that Huawei doesn't have GMS anymore, otherwise I would pick a P50 Pro/Mate 40 Pro with my eyes closed cause my S20+ sucks.
I have the Pro-version. Have also had standard Mi 11 and Mi 11 Ultra. For some reason I get clearly better battery life on 11 Pro compared to both 11 and 11 Ultra. Not sure why. I think the better battery life is the biggest advantage for me with 11 Pro over the standard Mi 11. The GN2 sensor on 11 Pro is really good but not that much better than the HMX-sensor in Mi 11. Sometimes I think that the 27MP binned photos from Mi 11 may be preferable since I like detailed photos.
