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!

Mi 5 vs Mi 5s custom rom and software developement

Hi all !
My Mi 2s seems old after 3 years old (two batteries KO, the phone stills fast as the first day ), and then I will buy another Xiaomi.
The Mi 5 is a very popular smarthpone, has a lot of ROMs and kernels in comparison to his announcement date, but the Mi 5s has a bit of improvement (Snap 821, LPDDR4 at 1866Mhz, Sony IMX378, 3200mAh battery ect...) and has the same hardware of the Google Pixel (821 and IMX378), but at first look seems not popular as the Mi 5 for the marketing.
In your opinion, if I can buy Mi 5 and Mi 5s at the same price (version 3/64), wich of those has more chance of still supported from developers of custom roms like Cyanogenmod ecc..?
Will be possible a porting of some features or ROMs of Google Pixel to the Mi 5s?
I don't want to buy a phone like the Xiaomi Mi 4S, wich don't have any custom rom!
So thanks for the attention, have a good day!
The point that you've made with the marketing is why I don't think the Mi5s will have a lot of ROMs. This and the fact that Xiaomi released the kernel source for the Mi5 6 months after its release, so even if there will be, it's not gonna be so soon.
As of now I'd recommend you to stick with your current phone for some time and watch the progress of each phone's development section, but if it's custom ROMs you care about, you should probably choose the Mi5.
Even though the Mi5s has slightly better hardware, it's still soon to talk about its development.
I think that the Xiaomi MI5s won't have a succes like to the MI5 and the MI5 has an official cyanogenmod build and Mokee build and some plenty of port ROM wich work great like RR, OMNI ROM, SLIM ROM,...
Mi 5s Development didnt start yet, xiaomi will release it's source Code after a few month maybe a year. For now i think mi 5 has better development

Mi Mix 2 or Mate 10 (MIUI or EMUI?)

I know this is the Mi Mix forum and there'll be an obvious bias but I'd like to get some opinions.
I got a Huawei P10 as a gift and I'm very impressed by EMUI despite what the detractors say. As a Redmi Note 3 owner I also like MIUI a lot (once I changed that horrible launcher). It also begs the question as to who copied who in terms of functionality and customizations. Let's just say they're equal but EMUI just edges it for me.
Given that the Mix2 and Mate 10 will both be near bezel-less with excellent battery life (by reputation), which one would you get? Pros and cons of each and why? No custom roms or modding. Both stock.
It depends what you're looking for.
The Mate 10 will definitely have one of the best cameras (2 ISPs, a first for smartphones), it will also have a separate AI unit.
Kirin 970 will have 3 Cortex A73 cores - definitely no slouch in terms of performance.
BUT, Huawei is known for not having developer-friendly devices, in contrast to Xiaomi. Especially if you're looking at recovery options.
The fastboot images guarantee a restore from nearly every possible softbrick scenario.
Coming from a bricked ASUS Zenfone 3 Deluxe, I am quite happy with my Xiaomi Mi MIX & will probably skip the upcoming generation to climb on the SD845/Kirin 980 train.

Both are torture in stock form. My 2 least favorite OS and the 3 days I had to run my mix stock felt like an eternity.

To each his own I guess but it doesn't answer the question.

Thanks for the informative reply. Very valid points. As I said I'm not a modder but having that option with the Xiaomi may become important.

Hello

Hi. I'm a newbie when it comes to custom roms fpr phones. I decided to take the plunge with CRdroid on my Mi A1 since support ended more than a year ago. I'm hoping to learn more on this topic as I enjoy tinkering with all type of electronics including phones. I hope I can contribute to this forum in the future to help future newbies as well.
