New Note 5 Owner, Looking for Advice - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello dear XDA peeps xD
I was a proud owner of Sony Z3C, but it's touchscreen and audio jack died, so after some research I switched to Note 5 Whyred.
I enjoy amateur photography - I read that the sensors in this phone are good, and I think they are yet I can't control shutter speed?
I plan on unlocking the bootloader in about 7 days, so I wanted to prepare in the meantime.
So my main question(s) would be : Is there a good rom for light use that benefits multimedia such as photography/video recording, while retaining or improving battery life? I am not a gamer anymore xD And is there any app/rom/anything that can help me with advanced camera controls (I plan on enabling Camera2API, but I would like shutter speed control and exposure time).
Thanks in advance.

1. I got 10+hrs once. Nowadays I get about 8-9hrs SOT. I mostly browse using Chrome, not pretty much, but I'm quite sure that you'll get most of it. It's depends upon the usage and yeah, battery life is almost same on MIUI & Custom ROMs.
2. There's a fix available I guess, check general section.
3. Camera is good on MIUI, but it's buggy on Custom Roms atm.
4. See point #1

1. And there is a another question. I'm gonna buy this from Aliexpress. most sellers have chinese version with global miui. Is there massive difference between chinese version and international version? I mean hardware changes??
I live in Sri Lanka. Does it support Network bands of Sri Lanka?
2. How about 5- 100% charging time with original charger comes with box?
3. Does this support Qualcomm quickcharge?

1. AFAIK, there's not much really.
Why don't you get the device from India then? (it's possible?)
2. 3hrs for me
3. Nope, not yet.

Sweet !!
This has hold so much, development is really unlikely to die. I wouldn't call it super durable, same goes for most modern phones. The back cover already has dents on mine, in less than a month. I'd say you go for it and not care too much.

I know the feeling. Used to be a flashaholic now i'm a simpler man.
if you are a normal user that seeking for nice battery phone i think its still worth it , but this phone is not for gaming, u will facing lagg an some fps drop when playing higher graphic game , redmi note 3 pro are the better choice , balanced between battery and performance .
Consider that, at this moment, all Oreo rom have fingerprint sensor not working. Maybe it will be fixed, but who knows.
I know the redmi note 5 is around the corner but would have still bought note 4 again,if I were to!

Yes bro , in this week may be tomorrow or day after tomorrow i will buy one. finally giving my honor 8 to my mom yeayyy
Xiaomi will provide updates for this device for at least a year and the development is great. With the release of MIUI 9 the phone is lightning fast and buttery smooth. Camera quality is better and has excellent battery backup. So u can buy this or u can probably wait till xiaomi releases redmi note 5 as it is rumored to have a 18:9 display ratio. U can wait. But here the custom roms development is great with many Android oreo based roms available with low bugs.
THANK YOU GUYS , I think i made a good decision , bought this budget beast .

GPS and other questions about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5

Hi. Didn't quite know what sub-topic to post this in so forgive me if it's the wrong one. Anyway, I want to buy a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 phone and need to know the following:
- is the GPS/navigation feature any good? This is crucial to me since I'll be relying on it to get me where I'll need to go. Are there any reported problems with it?
- is the screen display bright or at least readable in sunlight? My current crap android phone is utterly useless in direct sunlight, or even just outside on a sunny day.
This will be my first high performance android phone. Will be upgrading from a cheap Unimax U673c phone. I plan to use it with Red Pocket Mobile service on this plan. I live in western Massachusetts. Thanks for any help.
This forum is for other device. Go to redmi note 5 pro forum (global version doesn't have the pro but xda named it with Indian version name with pro).
Anyway on redmi 5 plus gps works very well and for me the brightness is correct outside when sunny. I think for redmi note 5 will be the same...
Okay, thanks. I'll repost this in the Pro topic then since I'd like as much feedback as possible on this.

This (9S) versus Realme X2

I'm stuck trying to chose between these two phones. Can owners comment please?
Edited 01/07/2020
Solved I guess? - I went with the Redmi Note 9S 6/128GB. The charging is fast enough and NFC is basically a fanciful thing where I live. The 64MP cam alone doesn't justify to me the possibility of losing out on custom ROMs and late stage device support.

Anyone upgrading the note 10 to the 10T Ultra or Pro?

Hi All
I've had a Note 10 (CC9) for about a year with it and am still very pleased with it. I was wondering if anyone had upgraded to the 10T Ultra or Pro and can compare the two? I'm saving my pennies right now but can't decide. A faster processor is always nice, as is a bigger battery, but what about the cameras? That's the reason I bought this phone and haven't been dissapointed.
I see the Ultra has a periscope zoom, which i assume is continuously variable between 1x and 5x which is a brill feature but 48MP sensors? Seems to be going the wrong way!
The Pro has a 108MP main camera but no optical zoom.
After making the above comments, I'm happy to hear any corrections. I was wowed by the Mi 10 when I had a P30 pro, but am not so wowed by the 10T offerings.
Am i missing something?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
that's almost same decision what I'm thinking to make. Mi 10 Ultra seems no go for me because of price and connection bands availability. So thinking to sell my Mi Note 10 and get Mi 10T Pro (regular Mi 10 does not support 2 sims - what is available to get here locally). Reason of switching is because of faster cpu/gpu and video performance using filmicpro and to get 4k60. Also flat screen is more preferable for me. Besides Mi Note 10 is great device, haven't dissapointed through all this year.
Regarding the battery I would not expect to be better than Mi Note 10. After A10 and Miui 12 it works well, I forgot to check battery stats actually with this phone. Samsung S9+ and Mix 3 was much worse, really..
Camera wise actually Mi 10T Pro would be downgrade, if speaking about better ultrawide and 2x/3.7x cams from Mi Note 10. So please think about this making decision.
I'm still not decided actually, to get Mi 10T Pro or wait for next gen Mi 11 (which is 3-4 months close I think). If they use HMX sensor for new model, the wait is not worth, but I suspect it could be same sensor used in mi 10 Ultra + 48mpx imx586 for ultrawide.
