Choosing a phone for a pentest - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
I am choosing a phone for a penetration test, the brand, model, cpu, camera... do not matter.
what is most important to me:
NFC
IRDA
FM-radio
The most important thing: to use the built-in wifi adapter in monitor mode.
An additional plus will be a removable battery
I chose the following phones:
Xiaomi Redmi 9
Xiaomi redmi note 8 pro
Xiaomi mi note 10
Xiaomi mi cc9 pro
Lg v20
Lg g3
Lg g4
Lg g5
Lg Q8 (2017)
Lg v10
TCL 10 pro
Asus Zenfone 4 Pro ZS551KL
Huawei Mate 20
What do you advise to choose from these phones (preferably a newer model)?
ps: sory for my bad english.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Pro [Snapdragon 652]

Please make this thread big, to show Xiaomi, what we think about MediaTek.
Will you buy the Redmi Note 4 or will you wait for a Snapdragon version of the Note 4?
The last information, from a insider, is "no Snapdragon Version for Note 4 but maybe for the Redmi Pro".
1. No, will buy the MediaTek version
2. Wait for Snapdragon version (will not buy MediaTek version)
3. Redmi Pro with Snapdragon? So I will buy this one!
Please choose...
I will not buy MediaTek device. The reason is the GPU, which is really poor on MediaTek, like on Kirin (Huawei) and Quick Charge 3.0 is one of the best things today.
I'll get the RN 4 Pro with Snapdragon. More RAM and space is always welcome
Also waiting on Redmi Note 4 with Snapdragon and Special Edition Taiwanese version for International users.

Xiaomi need Snapdragon for India market and B20 FDD-LTE for Taiwan. A combination of both [emoji108]
Why don't you make a poll, rather than answering in the thread. That would show the stats,

Also bought the Mtk 3/64, and honestly...haven't got any issues with it. For this kind of money, the phone is fast, responsive, battery life could be better and the auto light adjustment could be improved. Other than that and the fact that i have the Chinese ROM (grrr...) this device is pretty much a straight you pay - you get.
If you don't care about hardware power, yoi can go with the MediaTek version but the Snapdragon version will get much better GPU, battery life and sensors.
The Note 3 Pro sell in India over 2,3 million times.
Edit with poll please, can you?
And anyway, I heard from some article. Redmi Note 4 Pro will use Snapdragon 653 instead of 652.
And I hope this rumor is true though.

The Redmi Note 4 MTK edition is also International, it does have MIUI GLobal
Have a look at the phone: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 MIUI Global and the latest available global rom: Global Stable Rom for Redmi Note 4
To be international it needs to have these bands.
4G FDD LTE B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28/ ( 2100/1900/ 1800/ 1700/ 850/ 2600/ 900/ 800/ 700MHz); TD-LTE B40 (2300MHZ)

Difference between models?

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.

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)

It's the same phone. It simply has different names in different countries. Just make sure it's the Snapdragon version.
Depending on where you live, you may want to buy the Global version of the phone which supports more LTE bands (like band 20 in Europe).
But to be honest with you, I wouldn't buy the Note 4X anymore.
The Note 5/Note 5 Pro is already out.
The MI A1 ist basically a Note 4X with pure Android instead of MIUI and dual camera.
The Redmi 5/Redmi 5 Plus is basically a Note 4X with a 18:9 display instead of 16:9.
The new Mi 6X came out recently with a better CPU, dual cameras and MIUI.
The MI A2 (the same phone as Mi 6X but with pure Android instead of MIUI) will be announced soon.
So all roms and kernels of snapdragon will be compatible to both 4 and 4x as long its snapdragon? Thank you for the suggestions. I'll look for redmi note 5 pro

Correct.
So, is it good to buy 4x cause it's more updated than 4?

You need to buy the phone with Snapdragon 625. Depending where you life, it's called either Redmi Note 4X or Redmi Note 4 Global Edition.
Just make sure that you buy the phone with Snapdragon and not MTK (MediaTek) processor

That is good to know, However there is one thing I would like too add:
Xiaomi is very bad in the development scene, they do not provide kernel source and devices trees for developers to build custom roms or kernels, and currently the Redmi Note 4 has both, while new devices probably don't.
If you care about custom roms/kernels ( and everyone here at XDA probably do) check the device respective development threads before purchasing the device to see if there is any activity.
Since basically in my opinion MIUI is a version mess.
Check for the processor. Don't buy the Note with mediatek chipset.

Is it advisable to buy Realme 3 Pro in Jan 2020?

The opinion can be based on long term review, future prospects of update, general quality of the phone etc. Please help as on paper Realme 3 Pro seems better than Redmi Note 7 Pro.

Do you want to purchase it just because it's under ₹10k now?
I have a Redmi Note 7 Pro and I had a Realme 5 Pro for a few days. I can assure you, the Redmi is superior to the Realme in every way, and I'm talking about the 5 Pro. I don't see how the 3 Pro could even compare to a premium phone like the Redmi 7 Pro. The 3 Pro has a micro USB port, for starters.

I have realme 5 pro and realme 3 pro. 5 pro has issues like UI lag, bad camera, bad battery backup. I found realme 3 pro better and it is my daily driver right now. I cannot say about redmi but realme 3 pro is still running smooth even with the with latest update.
If you wish to utilize phone's full potential you can root it install custom ROMS and kernels.

Yes.
Anyway I went with redmi note 7 pro because realme 3 pro (4/64) is out of stock.
