I bought this phone from Amazon a week ago. It has 4 GB/64 GB with Snapdragon 636 cpu. The Model number in "About Phone" says Redmi Note 5. Everything I find online says that the Note 5 has the Snapdragon 620 CPU. It appears that the specs on my phone more closely match up with the Note 5 Pro rather than Note 5.
I did lookup the model name "M1803E7SH" and found that to have the codename "WHYRED" which appears to be the codename for the Note 5 Pro. My reason for this question is so that I go to the correct forum to get the correct Rom for my phone to reduce chance of bricking. Should I get my Roms, Kernels and Recoveries from here or the Note 5 Pro forum?
Yes you have to go pro forum. Your device is named pro only in India. China and global versions name is redmi note 5 without pro.
Thanks for your quick response.

Hello. I just broken screen on my Umi Plus and was looking for a phone with good ROM support (buying localy in czech republic instead of Aliexpress). And Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon 650) fits my needs,except MIUI. But this forum is for Note 3. So,are ROMs and tweaks compatible between them? (Snapdragon and Snapdragon versions)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/specs/note3
Roms should work on "Kenzo" model and also for "Kate" with the right firmware flashed, check the rom threads.
So the Chinese variant is redmi 5 plus which is currently available in my country, with same specs as redmi note 5, same processor and everything, will I be able to flash note 5 roms on redmi 5 plus after unlocking the bootloader when the custom roms of note 5 appear on here?
Seems like both are the same devices with different names. Both have Codename Vince.

According to an XDA article, "It’s basically a rebranded version of the Redmi 5 Plus that launched in China late last year." - see https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-redmi-note-5-pro-hands-on/
So I'm thinking of buying this phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5px3gLUZgY
But most, if not all, retailers only have the chinese version in stock, not the global.
So I have two questions.
1. Is there a difference in band support between Chinese and Global version? I mainly need band 20.
2. Does the global and chinese version support the same roms here on XDA? I don't know chinese, but if I just flash a rom, it wouldn't really matter which language comes preloaded as I intend to run custom roms anyway.
Bump.
That Chinese Redmi note 5 is Redmi note 5 pro, codename is whyred, totally different with redmi note 5/redmi 5 plus (codename - vince) in this xda device section.
You better ask in correct section here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro
It's better than redmi 5 Plus, and i don't think there will be any difference of band supporting
Hi all, a bit confused.
I am in italy and have RN5 Eu version.
Do i have to refer to the "whyred" version for modding? For custom roms? So is this "Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus" the right section for me?
Thanks!

This forum is for "vince" which is the Redmi 5 Plus in China and some other markets and Redmi Note 5 in India. The forums for whyred are the one with the name of Redmi Note 5 Pro.
To clear confusion check if your phone has single camera or dual camera. If it is single back camera then its vince and this is the forum you should refer to. If you have dual back camera it is whyred and you should refer to Redmi Note 5 Pro forums.
hi
i´m thinking to buy this https://www.amazon.de/Xiaomi-Redmi-...DM/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=
but i do not know if i can use the ROMs here because its a "Redmi 5 Plus" and not a "Redmi note 5 Plus"
the forum title is confusion me [Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus] <-- does that mean "Xiaomi Redmi Note 5" can use the same ROMs as "Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus"
edit: just read that i have to wait 15 days to unlock bootloader... its that true? i thought its 48 hours not 15 days... really stupid i think i have to search other than Xiaomi
variant
REDMI NOTE 5 is the INDIAN version and REDMI 5 PLUS is the GLOBAL version, with the same hardware.
on the other hand yes, it is true, believe or not I had to wait for 360 hours (15 days wait) to unlock de bootloader in order to root my REDMI 5 PLUS, flash twrp and install custom ROMS. That is the unclear policy of XIAOMI.
thank you are 100% sure about that?
that means the ROMs here working with all version with and without note
on google i found a german site https://www.kimovil.com/de/vergleichen/xiaomi-redmi-5-plus,xiaomi-redmi-note-5 looks like they have wrong infos because the CPU is different
edit: found here in other thread from user SubwayChamp (thx btw)
No, this forum is for Redmi Note 5 and Redmi 5 Plus both with codename vince.
Redmi Note 5 Pro is known in China like Redmi Note 5 (whyred)
Redmi 5 Plus is known in India as Redmi Note 5 too (vince); This causes the confusion both receives same name depending from where they comes (or where they were released)
Whyred (snapdragon 636) has other specs than vince (625)
