Redmi Note LTE vs Enhanced Edition

I ask any of you to give me an explanation on the difference between the Xiaomi RedMi Notes Enhanced Edition (MT6592 8-core) and the Xiaomi RedMi Notes 4G LTE (Qualcomm MSM8928 Snapdragon 400 4-core). Which one is better as both performance and whether it is possible for both a possible MOD with a Custom Rom?
Which do you recommend between both?
Thanks very much to everyone for your help!

The small get continuous updates. The big have better hardware. In my private: 8-core is better.

Thanks Julian, you're always ready to help me out! :good: then for performance and any custom mod, you advise me the Enhanced?

I found several reviews which compared the two devices, and the following in particular seems well done!!

I can say that the Enhanced Edition with Octacore is the absolute best seeing also the result with AnTuTu Benchmarks!

[MOD] [Z2] [KK/LP] Qualcomm Assertive Display 1.0

I know this is a bit old news, but still a lot of users and even power users don't know this exists. I guess it's better to create a new thread instead of explaining every time in PMs what this is about
Qualcomm Assertive Display 1.0 port from Z3 23.4.A.1.232
Qualcomm said:
Assertive Display is a new technology which makes the display adaptive to its viewing environment. By employing sophisticated video processing algorithms based on research into human vision, the mobile display is continuously adjusted to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience in all conditions, including those in which content would be otherwise unwatchable.
The result is that the multimedia experience is maintained everywhere, even in bright sunshine. Assertive Display-enabled devices typically consume at least 30% less display power, leading to significant battery life extensions. Viewing comfort is maximized by ensuring that the display is neither too dark nor too bright for the eyes.
Assertive Display has been featured in devices from smartphones by manufacturers such as Sharp and Huawei to HDTVs by Bang & Olufsen.
Qualcomm Technologies supports Apical’s latest, third-generation Assertive Display technology, which operates with minimal software load and very low power consumption for even the highest display resolutions.

TL;DR
It lowers display power consumption and improves view-ability in direct sunlight.
The Z5 supports a newer version (1.3 vs 1.0) of the calibration system, but I don't know, if the Z2 is capable. Since this is SOC dependent stuff, I'd rather stay as close to the Z3 as possible.
Install procedure:
1. This mod touches /system/build.prop, so make a backup just in case.
2. Flash the attached file in recovery.

Yes, it's a flashable file. Should have mentioned that in the OP
Since users reported this works on the Nexus 6, I'm quite sure it will work on custom roms too. I did test it only with stock/stock based ROMs.

okay i will test it now on resurction remix rom now and will report if it works. how can i see if it work ? any solutions after flash

You should get significantly more SOT. Also the screen appears brighter. I do notice the effect (just like Xreality, Vivid), but the best test would be to compare two Z2 side by side.

Because my z2 is on 23.4.A.1.232. So, I have a question. Is stock Z2 23.4.A.1.232 included this mod?

No, the Z2 lacks this in stock ROM. That's the point

@niaboc79 Is it worth a look to maybe add to your rom or not?

Works on paranoid android also (the official one)

It was added in KK eXistenZ years ago but since Lollipop I forgot to add it back
As said by OP, just an etc script and a build prop add, it works great

anybody can confirm they get better screen on time with this tweak?

It works. I have been using it on the Z2 for months already. The SOT gets better.

The stock ROM is so good in this device, I would probably just stick with it. Unlike Samsung Galaxy phones which ruins the stock google experience, this one doesn't. It used to stutter and lag a lot on Lollipop, but after the Marshmallow update, 99% of the lag is gone.

i love it pretty, powerfull and slick

Obviously it's the best phone i've ever owned, coming from a nexus 4 and a moto G. Build quality, design, the beautiful screen, playstation exclusive features ( WHICH NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT FOR SOME REASON, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE AWESOME???), the camera is great if you know how to utilize it, almost stock android experience. The only downer is the camera software, algorithm and the lack of full manual controls and RAW.

I had this phone for a while before giving it to my mom and stick to my old Z1.
Camera have very fast focus speed and good WB. Just need a better image processing software.
Stock Lolipop is buggy and very late Marshmallow update compare to other brand's 2015 flagship device. However, It's worth to wait because most of bugs were fixed.
I love frosted glass at the back too, easier to keep it clean than a glossy one at Z1.

To be fair, and assuming you are talking about the remote play stuff, the reason people don't talk about this is that it's not exclusive really. Some clever people ripped it and modified the apks so they will work on pretty much any phone. Not only that, the modded version is actually better as it removes the WiFi requirement so you can use it over a good 4G connection too!
Still awesome features, just not unique.

The Z5 is great, the Marshmallow update has boosted it a lot, thats for sure.
The camera isn't that great when it's a little darker. (Black becomes purple/blueish?)
The front camera is terrible when its darker.
My overall experience is still 5/5 because the sound is great, it has a really good battery life, and it never freezes or random reboots.

Great phone!

I tried to make love to it. Now I have a sticky phone

love it, but i hope there will be other CM or AOSP ROM so the phone could do more like Nexus 6P

I love my z5, i love sony since the very beginning. (since sony ericsson)
And like it or not, sony has the most stable android version, eventhough they are very slow at updates.
Im pretty satisfied with sony.
The only bad thing is, how hard it is to root sony and do stuffs like that.
Security and these stuffs make us harder to costumize our own phone.
I know sony have their own reasons. But at least, give us the simple damn chance to root our phone without unlocking bootloader

Absolutely love it!!! Moved from Z2 and it's the best phone I ever owned. Not sure why so many people have problems as I have not experienced any so far

Sounds like a defective unit, return it immediately.

Clearly I got a dud give the high ratings of this topic. The audio using Sony 5-pin headphones is ok but not great if you're after true HiFi clarity and audio detail. But trying to use third party standard pin headphones or line connections is a complete joke due to the phone not recognising the connection about 75% of the time and just spitting out hideous humming and buzzing noises. This was present from the word go and no method of cleaning inputs has helped. And the fingerprint sensor only works half the time with no rhyme or reason as to why it won't recognise the print. I have two Samsung devices and both have absolutely no issues whatsover.
So if this my lover, they'd be out the door with their bags trying to find a new home.

The best smartphone I've ever had.
Every Sony I get is just better every time.

It is one of the most beautiful devices currently! There are times when I'm looking at and admiring the device!

Pretty dissapointed with this device after having it for less than 4 months and moving from LG G2 and HTC M8.
Problems:
- landscape/portrait orientation switching stops working after some time, reboot of the unit gets it back alive, temporarily (happens after Marshmellow update)
- Yelow ghostly spots have started showing up on the upper left edge of the screen, most likely due to overheating (I'm using phone a lot )
- Finally, few days ago when I rinsed my unit in clean, tap water, some of it entered the unit and made it's place under the screen, making upper left corner of the screen (water entered from headphone jack?) glowing like it has brighter spill...
All in all, I wille try to return this expensive piece of faulty electronics, but I guess they will not accept to give me some other device...
Sony was my first Android device, but now I'm confident that it's the last one as well...

+ love the stock rom look
+ Super Video recording image stabilization
- Awful lag before starting video recording
+ Great photos in good light
- not so amazing purple & bluish tint in low light
+ Great sound
- Cheap headphones included
- I miss glossy glass back
Overall not so much impressed, but still a great phone.

A Full Review of the Blu Vivo XL!

Hello everyone! I recently reviewed the Gionee S Plus, which is essentially the Blu Vivo XL but comes with 3GB RAM instead of 2. Overall, I loved using the device. It was my daily driver for more than a week and it did a very great job in running everyday tasks and playing some high end games. The only thing disappointing about this phone is its Camera performance but if you're not into clicking very images, it will get the job done. I have published a full video review of this phone on my YouTube channel and you guys can watch it here: Do let me know your views about the phone! Thanks

Question A few questions about PixelExpierence on Redmi Note 10S

Hello guys,
i am probably getting a new phone soon, which is the redmi note 10S. The thing is, that i am a custom rom fan, which means that i will install PixelExpierence on it. I have a few questions:
1. How long does the battery last?
2. Is the phone overheating when idle/playing games.
3. How are framerates?
4. Does the phone have a A or A/B Slot?
5. Is system updates using a lot of mobile data in the background (On the A32 i have, i had to root the phone to edit the hosts file so that the system updates app doesnt take up 3GB in a week *also using pixelexpierence here* )
6. Is the camera quality better than on the stock rom?
7. Does the lock/unlocked icon overlap the text underneath on the lock screen (visible when charging)
8. Does the fingerprint sensor work?
Thx in advance

1.The battery is around 2 to 3 days with normal use and drop to 1 day if you play games.
It recharge really fast tho
2.When playing games sometimes yea but im never going above 45 degrees
3.Depends on what games.
4. idk didnt checked
5. I never saw any mobile data suage for that
6. stock quality is 64mp
7. good question
8. Its on the power button, its pretty sensible however it gonna work well if you hands are a bit wet

4. Does the phone have a A or A/B Slot?
A/B slots and Can Switch between 'em with TWRP.
6. Is the camera quality better than on the stock rom?
Not in m'y understanding, and camera app IS lacking params.
8. Does the fingerprint sensor work?
Yep
Extra: does fast charge works actually on PE rom, no.

Thanks bro, you saved me. I cannot buy a device that has buggy or low development, and that info is crucial to many. It seems that Mediatek won't release source code to the mass public.
One question, if you have time to answer: Is development on Note 10 as good as it is on Note 10 Pro?

The 10s seem to have significantly better battery.
GSIs are probably the future.

@Surpalsingh @tutibreaker
You don't agree that we have a lot more devices being made today than 5-10 years ago? Obviously only very few have custom ROM development. The answer to cover all? GSI.
