Android Pure put out a screenshot of ‘About Phone’ of the alleged Mi Note 2 Pro which is said to run Android Nougat out of the box. Leaks claim Mi Note 2 Pro will be the first Xiaomi smartphone to come with Android Nougat.
The screenshot reveals Mi Note 2 Pro will be powered by a quad-core (Snapdragon 821 rumoured) processor clocked at 2.6GHz. It is said to come with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Pro will run MIUI 8 with Android Nougat.
Who will be getting one?
I definitely will.
Me too if the screen is IPS

The screen is supposed to have curved edges, so that will be AMOLED since you can't bend IPS

Then I would buy something else. Colors of modern art are more lovely on Amoled but I feel natural photos much more real on IPS

Plus I prefer small borders like on Nubia phones than curved edges
I prefer AMOLED over IPS as it has better battery life.
That's a good reason, also it provides battery friendly "always on notifications" which is quite nice.
Only thing I can see there's much less sub pixels, and maybe that's why I find amoled less true to life than IPS.
That would be great to have the choice between them but that would never happen, there's already so much different models.
After first mi note pro fail (flagship killer 2015 that had 0 android updates, rly?) I won't buy xiaomi. ever. For me Google pixels looks great + they will have newest soft and tons, just tons of developers working with them.
Miui 8 offers everything Google updates can offer (app permissions, data usage, etc...): which specific feature do you want?
My gut feel, it won't be Android 7 !
Any ATT users of the older Note, I have to admit the specs of the new model have me looking at what little info there is about it here in the US.
So did you guys buy Mi Note 2.
I personally bought OnePlus 3 and been on ported Miui 8 nearly all the way. I miss 5.7 inches and 2k a bit though.

MI Note Pro is enough for me, with AOSP 7

I bought it. Waiting for it to ship still though. Won't expect it here until sometime next month ?. Considering the support the Mi Note Pro got, it was a hard decision though. Hopefully it's better this time around since the device seems more popular

The only but big problem for me is that lack of fingerprint scanner, I don't want a thief starting to buy on Ebay or Amazon from my accounts and I don't want to unlock it with a pin a hundred time a day...
If only it had Google Smart Lock!

Is there anyway of having a Google Smart Lock like app or mod?
It's been 6 months I am using Galaxy Note 8 now I wanna switch can anyone give some options no Galaxy S9 though please.
I was reading about LG G7 ThinQ looks nice.

Why do you want to change your note 8? What do you dislike about it? I would consider anything else except a note 9, as a downgrade
I dislike the battery.I absolutely hate the speaker.It's shameful for a device of this price.I also dislike the slow updates but that is a Samsung issue overall.Touchwiz launcher is horrible but that's an easy fix.All that being said nobody makes as good of a screen as samsung,I adore the camera and the s-pen is an absolute delight.I don't know about upgrading to the note 9 simply because that'd be a net loss of 500$ for only 6 months of usage on my note 8 but I'm positive I'll be getting the S10/Note 10
I think, there are more then enough people who needs every 6 month a new device.
I don't know why.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

Nothing as such I just wanna change I am hating its curve screen which has no use at all and not a single screen protector fix on it (tried 4 so far)
I like OP6 but then its camera is not as good as Note 8 camera is, secondly it has no HDR for Netflix and Amazon and its vibrations are so so weird!!
I like LG G7 ThinQ though havent tried it yet!

You will probably have a difficult time with that question in this forum since we're here because we like/love the Note series of phones. With that being said I don't disagree with the speaker part, I'm hoping the Note 9 will have stereo speakers, preferably more robust speakers to boot.
You need to get a full screen adhersion screen protector. They can be found pretty easily you just need to look for them. But I would stick with the Note 8 as it is a very good device and will probably last you for a good few years.

Yeah still its so irritating and annoying at times saw HTC U12+ really impressed with the over all feel of the phone and the camera has outstanding results, might go for it I guess!

I would only consider the Pixel 2 or 3 (if you can wait for it to come out).

Google will never release a Dual Sim variant and that sucks [emoji43]

The LG G7 and HTC U12 won't have any better battery life compared to Note 8. PIxel 2 XL would be an option. Huawei Mate 10 Pro or P20 Pro is another option. Note 9 is around the corner with 4000 mah battery which should help
Bought OnePlus 6 Mirror Black 128gb (Black Mirror is so sexy its dope, OnePlus did an amazing job), its amazing freaking fast, smooth, the gestures are nice as well. I love the full screen display with notch though so many people don't like it, you can't compare the camera with Note 8 one's but its not that bad seriously and with Gcam the pictures comes really nice.
Over all experience is so satisfying, I don't miss Note 8 at all :good:

If I were you, I would go probably for the Huawei P20 Pro.
I get puzzled by such threads? The Note series is unique as a mobile phone experience.
The S-pen is whats makes the Note, the Note. If one doesn't need or use the S-pen I cant imagine why one would purchase a Note series mobile? To that end there are no options or other choices to the SG Note 8 until the Note 9 is released shortly.
If the S-pen is not of primary use then there are numerous other mobile phones to explore.
One thing is a certainty in the mobile world, no phone will please all users. That is why there is a plethora of choices. Every mobile made has its positives also negatives, its all a question of needs and usage prioritise.
I need and use the S-pen, it makes my mobile a pocket PC.
If I didn't need the S-pen I would look at mobiles with my second priority and that is good DAC and sound quality. Some prioritise the camera or screen size, the list is endless.
Ryland
so true, Ryland; plus, why do people thing anyone cares about why they hate a particular phone?
If you hate the note 8, get rid of it and get something else; no one here cares to hear your sob story about why its so awful..
BTW, even though I have had several Note phones, start with the first one, I rarely use the Spen at this point in my life; I like them for their size, their screen, and the "extras" that samsung includes in their phones...Sure, the sound sucks, but there are endless BT/Wired/Wireless speakers and head sets that make that point moot. Battery life is no issue, with wireless charging, and most of the other complaints are just silly ..
anyways, lets hope that people who dont like this phone just get rid of it, and move on, without giving us endless posts about why they hate/hated/got rid of it..no one cares!!!

I had an LG G7 ThinQ for 2-3 days, couldn't stand the UI and is on the small side for me compared to the Note 8. G7 is not slow just different when you use all these phones. Ended up giving it to my Granddaughter after 3 days.
Probably a Note 9 or an iPhone X plus
The note 8's battery is as trash as the Note 5's.
Hi, note 9 is out. As a note 8 users, will u upgrade to note 9? What make u upgrade?
I haven't decide whether upgrade or not, but j really like the new dex and the big storage.
How about u guys?
For me , I do like the extra storage and the larger battery on the note 9 but I do not think it worth the extra money that I have to pay , my note 8 is still preforming great and the battery gets me the whole day . The other features are nice but I'm not going to use them anyway ( Remote S-pen + Dex )
I'm getting the note 9 because of the 512gb storage and 8gb ram and the extra battery power. Hopefully i won't upgrade when the next one comes out. Now i have to get rid of my 256gb note 8 which still performing great.
Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk
Not me...my note 8 still works perfectly. The upgrades on the Note 9 are nice but not major enough to make me go through the hassle of selling my Note 8 and losing money on it, buying the Note 9 for another $1300 CAD, buying another tempered glass, case, etc. Will wait for the Note 10.
There was already thread like this....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/galaxy-note-9-upgrade-t3822028
Upgraded already and on the note 9 forum, hopefully see you all there.
Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
Nope. Loving my N950N with 256GB internal storage thank you.
The Note 9 is a great piece of kit!
But because I am coming from the 8, the investment would be less of a need and more of a luxury.
What I am looking for ideally would be a Note 8 with:
Even slimmer bezels
Indisplay fingerprint sensor
Bigger battery
Full USB-PD charging at 25-30W
The new Aptx standard
Gold color
6.5in display
Fingers crossed. What I desire is more of a natural evolution rather than a dreamy list anyway.
Hi all,
Recently got the Redmi Note 6 Pro, and I really love the device.
However, I am not really keen of the provided case.
Has someone already bought an alternative?
Would love to hear some feedback or see some pictures.
Thanks!
I snagged this thin hybrid on eBay for about $6 USD. You can get it from China for < $4, if you don't mind waiting 3 weeks. Pretty functional. I'm digging the finger loop on the back.
Use this one

Redmi note 6 pro Case
Flipkart is the best option for Redmi note 6 Pro cases. A variety of different cases available on Flipkart for all Xiaomi devices.
Does anyone know if cases/covers fit both the redmi 8 and 8a? Are they exactly the same size?

They might not all be the same, but I bought 2 of the same armour cases one for redmi 8 and one for 8a they are a bit different in appearance but fit fine.

Thanks I've did a bit more investigating myself on the specs and some reviews and they appear to share the same dimensions.
