Hi there,
The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro has been out for a year now. Has anyone any info on an upgraded or new version?
I'm looking for a 5.7 device and really like this, but (knowing my luck), I'll order and the next week Xiaomi will release info on a new model !
Thanks
do you want my opinion wait and see for one plus 3
I think asus zenfone 3 deluxe must be the mobile what you want, im waiting for it and some revew of zf 3 deluxe, sd820, 5.7" FHD 6RAM... sound so great
I would personally go with nexus 6p over the current mi note pro. As a previous amoled user, I find it the screen to be pretty dim on my MNP.
Unless you are happy with running miui, I would stay clear from this. Another thing, I should add, phone definitely heats up when running asop and early miui roms. I do not care what other user say but having the phone on charge and trying to talk to someone whilst putting the phone next to your years gets extremely hot and uncomfortable.
I would wait for one plus or even the nexus 6
PS: I'm running mokee rom.

There is a rumor that Mi Note 2 will be released mid-July, together with the Xiaomi laptop. The latest news on it: http://mobile.it168.com/a2016/0530/2672/000002672797.shtml
The specs are supposedly: SD823 (MSM8996 Pro), 4/6 GB RAM, 32-256 GB ROM, Sony IMX378 sensor, 12 Mpx camera with laser autofocus, screen resolution and size same as the predecessor, iris recognition. Pricing is supposed to start at 3299 CNY for the cheapest version.
Mi Note Pro still a very good phone except perhaps for camera

I also have both, Mi Note Pro and Nexus 6p. Nexus 6p is a little bit faster (probably because of stock android) and has a better camera, but overall i still prefer the Mi Note pro. The 6p is thicker, heavier and bulkier and the sound quality on it (which is very important to me) is complete ****, while on the Note pro the sound is absolutely brilliant (over headphones of course, speakers are better on 6p). Screen is a little brighter on the 6p, but they`re both too dark in sunny weather for me. I also love MIUI, did even install a MIUI launcher on my 6p . I think it comes down to preferences. Both are great devices, but there`s one major downside to the Note Pro, which is the battery life.

An event is planned this month... there are rumors of a new flagship.
mipro is a good phone except the software sucks (both miui and unoficial roms). for exemple semi-official (i believe he is a miui developper) ivan aosp rom 6.0.1 is using april security patchs lol and no updates... and others roms are worst and bugged. yea i would take the 6p only because of the software part, i have bought 3 phones from xiaomi and it's the LAST TIME.
Hi.
As in subject.
I have Note 5 from 2017. Few monuth ago i buyed Note 9- overall of course better from 5 but Note 5 is still good phone. I back to five for few days. For me better from Note 9 is s-pen. He is thicker, more massive than note 9.
Next is flat screen. Definitely writing is more comfortable.
Then is overall looking and colour front and back. My is Gold platinum. In light looking silver-white and anyway isn't booring like all new samsung phones from s8- all black front.
My note still working in last stock 7.0. I flashed last build for TUR from end 2018. Now i can make note in screen off like in note 8/9 without any mods. Then install newest touch wiz, messages app, contacts, camera 6.95 with new icon and now software looking like Note FE.
So anybody have note 5 for daily driver?
I own a SM-920I since late 2015 and on nougat and stock. Have to take back up every once in a while to free up the space though. Haven't found reason to upgrade to a newer note yet but the new S10 plus is tempting. Planning to flash custom recovery to make the phone work on VoLTE.
I am still using my N920P unlocked for my T-mobile sim card. Just order an original battery from Samsungparts to test out the TRUE CAPACITY via usb amp meter multitester in another post of mine.
Recently i've been obsessed with phone battery's real capacity... I will move to note 9 real soon but still want to use N920P for the time being
Sadly, me too. I'm waiting for my 2 year contract to end in a month or two, then I'll go with the Note9. This POS was crappy from the Beginning. Just 32 gb with no expandable storage, Puny 300' mAh battery. Meh, It was the only Note I could afford at the time.
I am using SM-N920C with khongloi rom. Haven't yet considered upgrading the device as it is still functioning properly except the battery wear after 3 years of use. i still love it.
I just sold my note 5 N920C because 32gb storrage and 3000mah battery is just not enough in 2019.
Looking forward to buy note 9.
The Note 5 Is a Pretty Phone
But It can't be future proof at all.
32 GB of SD Card Is a Big disappointment for Long Use.
Granted its More Beautifull than My Note 8 , But Honestly I always felt kind of disappointment with only 32 GB SD Of Storage I kept Constantly Deleting My Data.
If they make a Note 5 like Phone but with SD Slot and Dual Camera I might buy It.
but honestly the 32 GB Of Storage makes it Impossible for Any one to Record Several videos , Play Games at same phone.
A Cheaper Option that would last Too Long Is now the Note 8.
The Only Negativity is the Speaker is not as Good as Note 9 other than that The Note 9 and Note 8 are identical.
I'll be buying note 9 soon. But i just spent $50 just to order a OEM replacement battery from Samsungparts... Because all of the aftermarket batteries i bought didnt live up to 3000 mAh.
And maybe it is just me 32 Gb for me is enough i always backup stuff to computer so i do not need more space.
Not many people out there that are like me still saying 32 GB is enough storage nowadays lolzzz
It looks like I'll have to unlock this phone (a Sprint version) as our business is going to TMobile... no free phones, so will have to make this work.
That said, any hints from others re good custom roms for an (unlocked Sprint) T-Mobile Note 5? I love custom roms... but with Sprint they are all but nonexistent. TMobile looks more promising, but am curious what folks have found.
I am still using my note 5 lovely.
~3-4 SOT as always. My battery changed ~1.5 years ago.
I am using my paid-to-unlocked Sprint Note 5 on T-mobile network currently. They have special software to unlock these Note 5 But i think that software is nowhere to be found over Internet
I'm still rocking my T-Mobile Note 5 64gb SM-N920T rooted still running Nougat. I need a ROM with reliable Bluetooth and WiFi. . .

What is your SOT like really using the phone from 100% till auto shut down?
Does anyone know if the Note 8 is getting any more major updates and if not is there any mods to get the latest software for the note 8?
Thanks

It wont receive android 10 or ui 2.0. Dunno about any ports for it from other devices
So I'm stuck with what's on here now. I just cant see spending another $1000.00 for a new phone. Its getting ridiculous with all these new devices coming out.
I think that S8 doesn't deserve Android Q because it has like 3 years old but Note 8 just had 1 year and 11 months when android 10 final was released.

Both the SGS8 series and the Note 8 were both released in the same year. The old differences is that the SGS8 was released earlier than the Note 8. That said they both run on the same hardware with the exception that the Note 8 has the S-Pen.

You know the Note 8 in Europe sells for about 329€ (VAT included) now right!? Buy a Note 9 (for 400 and something) and you'll get Android Q

This sounds good on paper, but it is still an "old" device (in 2020) that will soon suffer a similar (unsupported) fate to the Note 8 in a few more months.
I believe Samsung is in the business of primarily selling only new phones, so I suspect the Note8's performance may become throttled like an old iPhone in the monthly security updates.
I can't consider selling my Note8 to buy a Note9 for a few dollars more when they are basically the same thing just to get Q. I'm not yet seeing a feature in the Note10 to make me part with my money other than the eye-candy interface.
Q is not worth spending extra cash for. Have tried it on my N9 and N10 and went back to Pie on both. Just my opinion others love it. I still use my N8 and it is still one of the best devices out there in 2020, but let's face it Samsung only gives 2 major updates to a device so S8 Note 8 will not be getting it. Can it support it??? I'm sure it can but Samsung wants to make money by getting boneheads like me to purchase a new device.

Third major update: Android 6.0.1 "Marshmallow"
Note 8 Operating system

I did. I was of that same view months ago. However, since so much time has passed, I've concluded that chapter is now closed.

Yes both have same hardware but Note 8 has 6GB RAM and Dual camera and the S8 4GB with a Single camera. I think that a mobile that was release near 2018 by 1000$ deserved Android Q. Samsung policies must change in the flagship.
What's even worse is I'm running a Touchwiz Android 9 rom with Android 10 apps on my 6 edge plus. International device used here in United states with wifi calling..video calls..advanced messaging and volte. My point is if the old 6edge plus can handle this there is no reason the S8 or N8 cant. But I just dont see it happening. Many will read this thread and ask what's the point. But I like to see things like this talked about even if it doesn't go anywhere.

It's not financially viable to support an old device for another year... It might make people NOT shell out $1000+ for a new device if the operating system is the same & officially supported....
It takes a special breed to root, flash and enjoy the fruits of our labour that most people WON'T do with a device that cost a large chunk of cash. Hell, most people don't even know what Android 10 is.
The average consumer has no idea how, or why it's a good thing to use the latest operating system...
Yes this was the point I made before. It's all about $$$$[emoji16]. And you are exactly right, we are a rare breed on xda. Most people get a device because it looks good. Not because of battery..display..themes..roms...root..disable this keep that...camera...lol its shiny so I'm buying it.

There's an article on tomsuigde and phonearena indicating that Samsung customer care confirmed note 8 will get android 10
This was from a month ago - any ideas on whether this is accurate?

I don't think those articles about the Note 8 getting Android 10 is incorrect. As the Note 8 has already received 2 major android OS updates. However we should still receive security patches for android Pie.
So little context. I usually hand my old phone down to my son. He currently has my old 7T while I have the 9 Pro. Is the 10 Pro worth it for me to upgrade to? Everything I read it seems to be much of the same as the 9 Pro with a better battery/cpu/gpu.
I did the $1 pre-order but on the fence if I should follow through when the actual purchase window goes live. Thanks for any input guys!
Hardware aside Android 11 isn't a pretty picture and 12 is a horror story.
If you're running on 9 or 10, stay there. 11 has issues but not near as bad as 12.
Scoped storage is a cpu cycle sucking fubar.
I have 2 Note 10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10. 9 is more functional. 10 I can work with but that's as high as these will ever go. Security is simply not an issue.
Android and its 3rd party developers will take at least 2 years to recover/fully implement Google's Apple like poor choices. In the meantime the users will suffer.
If your device/OS version is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be.
You lose nothing by waiting including your hard earned money... plus no time wasted on a forced learning curve.
I'm also on the 9 Pro and decided not to do the preorder. I'd rather wait a few extra weeks and see how it goes, but I'm most likely going to end up upgrading. I'm mainly waiting to see some reviews of the Global version, evidence of real-world battery life, and whether any of the developers I followed on 7/8 series are upgrading to 10 (most skipped 9).
Yes, OOS12 has its issues - I like A12 more or less, just not how OOS botched it - but I'm slightly hopeful about OOS13, and that's going to hit 10 Pro first when it comes out. I'm not switching manufacturers anytime soon because others make it hard to root (looking at you, Samsung), and I like having current flagship hardware for gaming and such, so the only thing to do is press forward.
Have my 9 Pro for 2 days now.
Just contacted network to exchange 9 Pro to 10 Pro as I'm still in cooling off period so my 10 Pro will be with me 5th April - that was said by network advisor.
Can't wait as I always loved OnePlus phones.
I also have iPhone 13 Pro Max as my daily phone.
Yes, it's worth the upgrade coz I bought it ;-)
I upgraded to the Global 10 Pro and anticipate a fun ride on XDA!

I got my OnePlus 10 Pro (EU/Europe) today, feels like a good phone so far.
USB-A instead of USB-C in charging brick - what happened OnePlus?
Get mine today only because yesterday I couldn't be at home when courier wants to deliver.
Nice phone so far. During the weekend will see if is worth to keep it.
I decided against it. My OP9P is the 12gb/256gb model, and the downgrade to 8gb/128gb isn't worth the other perks for me. Maybe they'll offer the other model at some point? If not I guess I'll wait and see how the Ultra does later this year.

Thanks for the reply, I've ordered it and will be getting it in 2 days.
I'm using both the 9 Pro and 10 Pro.
Pretty much the same except 10 Pro lose out on the macro mode which is very handy on the 9 Pro especially since it auto switch to macro when you want to take something closer.
If anyone else is considering...... I'll tell you to hold on to your 9 Pro until something better than 10 Pro is launched.
Well it's what you want ain't it of you want to upgrade why not but the camera on OnePlus 9 pro om oos 11 is way better then the rest of them but still the OnePlus 10 pro makes nice pictures
In reality, no, it's not worth it

Yes there is no macro available in the OP10 Pro but I don't care about it because I don't use it much!
So Android 12 just launched a few weeks back and just installed it. Doesn't seem that much different, especially the One UI interface. My main phone is OnePlus 8T and going from 11 to 12 was a huge difference in comparison.
What's your experience been like if you've recently upgraded to 12?
