Hi there,
For users in USA who wish to use Le Max 2
1. Which version should we buy X820/X822? I've read model number are assigned based on where these phones are being sold (china x820/indiax821). But I am making sure if buying a specific version is beneficial in any way for USA users (spending 300+ dollars and don't wish to ship stuff back to china)
2. Will the phone work with 4G LTE Band 2,4,12 (confirming even though tech specs indicate it would)? Do I need to do something special to enable them?
3. Once model suggestions are given, shall it be rooted and then custom ROM be applied? If yes then which one? OR Shall we stick to standard out-of-the-box ROM?
4. I frequently travel to Asia (India). Do I need to do something to make the phone work on 4G bands there?
Buy the Le Pro 3 which officially goes on sale 2 November in the USA for 299$ instead. It's just straight up a better choice.
As I mentioned in the post, I travel to India quite often. I would have bought Pro 3 if it supported 4G bands in India. It is also missing dual SIM capability. Again for my needs, I am leaning towards Le Max 2
le pro 3 is not straight up a better choice, it's actually not comparable to the le max 2 at all since it's the le pro line. Two different phone type basically. I believe Le Max 3 is coming soon.
Well, I appreciate your input. I still am waiting for answers
Anybody?? Shall I buy le max 2 phone to operate in US?
Yes u will not be disappointed! However, get a tempered glass protector for your front screen and camera glass on the back.
Le max 2 is an awesone phone for its price (210 euro). I am from europe and flashing the latest china rom s18, gave me full signal on 2g 3g and 4g.(very good stock rom) Good battery all good. It can even record calls, it works on USA networks too.
Just make sure when you buy it the proccesor is snapdragon 820.
There are many inferior max 2 with lesser proccesor, snapdragon 820 is a lot better and others not worth it just to save a few dollars.
Many people complain about the fingerprint only and always the fingerprint. But for me is lighting fast and acurate.
The (x821) will work fully in the USA I have it working on T-Mobile I get volte and I got the 4gb 32gb version for $250 on eBay
I bought X820 and it arriving in 4 days. Kindly share any changes you made to the phone and how. Appreciate your help.
In US u should buy x829
My x820 arriving tomorrow. Too late for x829.
Will x820 not working with lte bands in USA? I'm little concerned now. I would appreciate if you provide reasons why to go for x829
all the phones have same bands and will work for US LTE. I'm on AT&T now and I got 60mbps on LTE
Thanks xterminater07!
I would appreciate if you can provide information on first few things to do get going with the phone. Like do i have to do something to get google app store working?

So your using an x829 in Germany? Did you unlock band 20? Does your device have the FCC info printed on the back?
I live in Poland. FCC is printed. Band B20 is locked

No x829
Be careful with x829 version. I bought one in switzerland. But the change for data connection does not seem to work. Only with Sim1 I get data connectivity. Change is greyed out in the menu. With my x822 it works all fine.
At Gearbest. Use coupon code 'LeEcoGB'. 189,99 USD and free shipping (depending on what you choose).

Did you flash the stock Chinese 020s?
i jsut received my x829.. anyone know will chinese 020s rom work for this x829?
This is the same question I am asking myself. As I have been asked whether I flashed it, I would assume that it works.
Tinydeal X829 grey 4gb/64gb
initially paid 240€ all inc. for gold X820 6gb/64gb.. since they coultn't deliver startet little email-battle and got the x829 with 84€ refund on my initial investment
156€ for grey X829 is a good deal, i think

Did your x829 come out of the box with pre-installed Google Apps?

yes my x829 came with google apps preloaded and no updater app..
after several thread and forum, i did flash cn 20s on my x829 and it work fine.
at first i try flashing 20s using eui recovery, but it fail with error message 'Cause:corrupted'. i know its not cn20s rom fault, because i already use it on my x820..
then i find a thread mentioning i must use twrp to flash it, then i follow the clue and 20s installed without problem..
if you need guidance, use this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151
Fyi i didnt use sideload adb, i just copy the zip file to x829 storage and clean + install from zip like usual.
hope it help..

happy flashing!!
btw it seems fingerprint on x829 is not as good as on x550..
on x550 95% accuracy with <1 sec respond time, but on x829 70% accuracy with >1 sec respond time..
dunno why they change hardware or software for it when it used to be perfect..

I know, fingerprint on Le Max 2 is mediocre
My kate has been with me faithfully more or less since day one, have replaced the screen twice, replaced the charging port once and still she is rocking
The upcoming NOTE 5 pro has caught my attention SD636 and will work out £145 roughly with the 20% reduction on Aliexpress for the gold version (not too bothered about the colour)

Is it time to upgrade and if so is it a viable upgrade?
China version was only release today.
Your link is a place holder listing, that has been up for about 2 weeks.
No global rom available yet and link say supports Band 20 etc, that particular device has not been announced yet.
If you order from there you will probably get the china/Indian version with a vendor rom.
See https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/ for latest on that particular device!
1. Two CDMA SIM cards cannot work at the same time (when one chooses 4G Network, the other SIM card has no Signal.)

The China/Global version will have support for Dual Sim use, so that is the Indian version or the listing are not fully accurate for the device.
Its the Chinese version
I would not buy the Indian version

You won't know what version it is till you get it.
Check the specs against this spec list.
Already point out one error in the listing that makes it sound like it is the Indian version.
And back camera specs is for Indian version: - Back camera 12.0MP f/2.2 + 5.0MP f/2.0
As your using a Kate, I assume you would need the global version for EU bands (3,7 and 20). Wait till the global version is release.
Its definitely the Chinese version look at the delivery time the phone is not due out for another month or so
Also it is the global version
BUYER BEWARE!
Another error in the link provided, states android 7!
Chinese version comes with Oreo 8.1!
Also the linked store is not an official xiaomi store.
They also updated the listing with: -
Tips: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Global Version has not arrived, it is pre-sale for now.
Expected 24 April starting shipping!

Also the preorder amount is overpriced!
Look I know you mean well
See this article to clear up the confusion: https://www.review-hub.co.uk/redmi-note-5-review/
Trust me its the chinese version, its the global version, it will come shipped with Oreo
Anyway back on topic what do you think?
@gap30 Your article has not told me anything new.
They may well ship the global version.
I intend to purchase it from a more reliable store, probably from one that provided VAT Free DHL Shipping to EU!
For example Hong Kong Goldway or Mi Global Store.
Both stores also have pre-orders up, with limited listings, or inaccurate for global device.
Or a retailer with EU Warehouses.
Your particular store, i have a bad taste from, they use to label themselves as Xiaomi Authorized Store before.
My Kenzo is still performing well, so I will wait until July/August to purchase. By then the prices should have stabilized.
Also we will have a better picture of Custom Rom Support. But for a device that has Oreo and Treble support, i don't see a problem in that matter.
Well initial reports seem fairly positive on the CPU: https://www.androidcentral.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-benchmarks-snapdragon-636a
Edit
@gap30 Did you manage to pre-order one at the sale price? Within an hour the price return to the full amount. So I say they didn't offer many at the sale price.
It is also available pre-order from Mi Global Store for a similar price with VAT free shipping.
^^^^ Pre-order at your own risk, does not list full specs or Bands supported.
I've been researching this phone and could only seem to find the Chinese version for sale. Well, I also found the Indian version on Flipkart and Realme's official website but they don't ship outside of India.
However, I am hoping to get the Global variant, which supports band 66. According to news sites this is launching on May 5th (at least in the UK) and since I live in the US I still need to find a way to buy it.
If anyone else has any info about the global variant launching, please share! I'm assuming it will then be available on alternate websites for purchase that will ship to the US?
x50 is china variant, x50 pro is global (including china) variant
edited.
the most probably date of worldwide launch is 5 may or later 10 may
