It probably would solve a lot of headaches in the future if the Redmi Note 3 with a Mediatek processor and the Redmi Note 3 Pro with a Snapdragon processor had each their own sections in the forum. The Pro has only recently been out and people are already asking in the different posts if the rom or advice works for the Mediatek or for the Snapdragon version. And since both SoC's are so different the ROM's will not be compatible, so I do not see the point of keeping them together other than to enjoy seeing the users confused.
Yeah i too agree. Even on miui website we dont have a separate thread
Agree MTK and SD have totally different ROMs

I Fully Agree.
MTK and SD have totally different ROMs
there has been lot of confusion for REDMI Note 3G and 4G(Dior)
a sharma
sharing is power
Agree, please add a seperated section
This must be addressed before further development
I agree, with some devices it doesn't matter much but the difference between the two chipsets is too big to have them in one section.
I'm agree too!
I second this opinion.
Iam agree with you
I'm agree too!
Does any one have solution to double tap screen wake up
I agree with the OP!
Will any moderator will listen to our request here?
we just recently got a section for redmi note 3 and i´m happy about it.most post are tagged by mediatek or PRO SD are sufficient to make difrence between them
At least two different sections like android one devices .... Like redmi note 3 mediatek and snapdragon so that we can directly search all related ROMs kernels easily
As the kernel source has been released, there will be more development works going around so its a request please provide separate forum for redmi note 3 snapdragon
Don't think it's going to happen, I guess the SD version will have more users, so I guess only those users will be more active

Not promising anything but send me a PM detailing the scale of the problem.
Are users not labelling their ROMs properly to distinguish the two? If so give me some links.
Give me links to any problems that have arisen from any confsion that is around.

Hello ,
i'm about to order a Redmi note 3 pro but what should i order the Redmi note 3 pro special edition ( kate) or the normal one ?
I live in europe so the kate i think is better , but are there roms or cm for this version ? and also any screen protectors or cases because its a little longer ?
Thanks in advance
So my girlfriend's Redmi Note 4X just broke the screen and she needs a new phone. She was so pleased with it so we wants to try Xiaomi again. However, Xiaomi's model names are so amazingly stupid so I am having trouble choosing.
The first, cheaper, option seem to be the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus.
https://www.honorbuy.com/215-xiaomi-redmi-5-plus-global-version
It is pretty cheap and seems most like the old 4X except the 18:9 screen.
The other option is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
https://www.honorbuy.com/218-xiaomi-redmi-note-5
This looks like a newer phone with a new camera and a new(better?) processor but still with the same screen as the Plus model.
It is also a bit more expensive and only the chinese version seem to be available.
I have seen people here talking about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro but I can't find this model anywhere? Is it the same as Plus?
I was wondering what is the best choice? I will flash LOS on the phone, not sure if that will work on the chinese version or if that version even has support in my country?(Sweden). Which device has the most support here in the forums? Should I buy a "Global" version?
redmi 5 plus = redmi note 5 , and REDMI NOTE 5 PRO is another device
redmi 5 plus and redmi note 5 is same device, but region wise the name is different.
another model is REDMI NOTE 5 PRO with upgraded processor and dual camera, and a front camera of 20MP. I hope the confusion is clear now.

Ok, so just to confirm:
Redmi Note 5 and the Redmi Note 5 Plus is the same device, the name difference is because of regions. However these models exists in various configurations such as different amounts of RAM, storage and colors.
Redmi Note 5 PRO is a newer model with dual cameras, and new CPU.
Is the pro version even out? Because I can't find it. Then I got examples such as this: https://www.honorbuy.com/218-xiaomi-redmi-note-5
Which do have dual cameras and new cpu but no 20MP front camera.

Is the pro version even out? Because some retailers denote their Plus models as Pro.

Absolutely correct.
Pro version is availabe here in India.
One easy way to distinguish is PRO version has dual rear camera and 20MP front camera, where redmi 5 plus / redmi note 5 has single camera .

Alright! I just looked at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5px3gLUZgY and he said that the chinese version does not support Band 20, so I will probably wait until the PRO version comes out in a global version.
Redmi Note 5 Pro (India) - whyred - Redmi Note 5 (China/Global)
Redmi Note 5 (India) - vince - Redmi 5 Plus (China/Global)
What does represent the VINCE codename for the Redmi 5 ?
Sorry for my English.
It's the codename xiaomi has given to him

Every android device has a specific codename assigned to it by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer).
The codename assigned to the Redmi 5 Plus is vince.
The codename helps differentiate between phones with different internals because sometimes the real names of the device are not clear or are too long to be used in coding the firmwares. The Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is a long name with several spaces and cannot be used in coding of firmware. So a shorter name is assigned. Then there is the confusion that is sometimes present in names of the phone. The Redmi 5 Plus in China is being sold as the Redmi Note 5 in India. But in China there is another device being sold by the name of Redmi Note 5. The indian and Chinese Note 5 are completely different and so have different codenames. But as the Chinese 5 Plus is the same as Indian Note 5, both the devices have codename vince.
Edit:
If you wanted to ask what the codename for the Redmi 5 is and not about Remi 5 Plus, the codename for Redmi 5 is "rosy". This is the phone with 5.7" screen and Snapdragon 450
I am looking for a cheap phone for rooting purposes as well as installing custom ROMs. I have boiled the choices down to 3 phones.
1. Redmi Note 7s
2. Mi A2
3. Redmi 7
I like Redmi Note 7s a lot. But there probably isn't a thread on this phone on XDA. Are the Indian Note 7s and the global Note 7 the same phone? Are they both codenamed Lavender? Basically, can I run ROMs designed for Lavender on a Note 7s?
If not, should I go for Mi A2? Redmi 7 does not appear to have a lot of ROMs.
Should I consider other phones for this purpose?
Sorry if this question sounds like a noob, this is my first time. Thanks in advance for your help.
