Nah, I would take the Mi Note 3 over the Redmi Note 5 Pro.
The Redmi Note 5 Pro, a phone with Snapdragon 636, micro USB, worse dual camera setup compared to Meizu M6 Note, and no water resistance, when imported to Malaysia will cost a lot and that will the make the phone more expensive compared to the Mi Note 3, a phone with a Snapdragon 660, USB Type C, better dual camera setup(scored 90 marks on DxOMark) and IP67 water resistance.
Depend on preference. Someone will prefer to have a relatively larger battery, larger screen, audio jack and huge dev support.
Mi note 3 currently is lacking dev support in XDA which is a big letdown despite its good specs.
and speaking of custom roms, xiaomi hv really bad reputation in releasing oss kernel... (recent case A1 aka android one no source code)
compared to asus, it hv excellent reputation in xda community
Which era you are coming from? Zenfone 2 series? Asus in XDA literally dead already since Zenfone 3. I dont even see people having Zenfones with custom roms anymore. Zen Ui is already good as it is.
Yes Xiaomi phones generally have lower build quality than other brand. But i dont dare to buy Zenfone above 1k anyway.
Interesting, the samsung sensor spec is still better than the sony; bigger sensor size + dual PD focus. Let's wait for proper reviews.
I believe if they will ever use Sony sensor in it, it will be Sony IMX 362 which has exactly the same specs as the Samsung S5K2L7.
Definitely not the IMX 486 as in RN5pro india version. Xiaomi is known to use different sensor in different batch, but they always use ones with same specs.
Edited: In Meizu m6 Note specs, it says "camera sensor could be either Sony IMX362 or Samsung 2L7". So i believe my theory is true lol

Seller said they will do the flashing. Will see how it goes.
Proper unlocking bootloader process include 15 days of waiting. I wonder if they can do faster than that. I think it is better to just stay on china rom and install google play on that rom.
And there is no announcement from xiaomi about global rom yet.
Please show it to me, if the signal is showing on 4G+. I'm serious.
Since from redmi 5 plus. Xiaomi is claim this phone has 4G+ but not many Telco will support 4G+.
Unless you get roaming to Singapore Singtel/M1. But starhub still remain on 4G only.
Seriously dude. 4G+ already here for a long time. You only use Xiaomi all this time so you won't know it at all. Stop making claims and learn to read more.
Xiaomi phone only capable of intraband CA 4G+ while our 4G+ infra is using interband CA thats why it cant get 4G+.

ROM negara china bro mau ke. Procedure untuk flash Rom international memakan masa dan perlu sedikit pengetahuan teknikal.
X boleh OTA update could mean it is on vendor Rom. Much worst than China Rom. Not recommended unless for people who know how to do testpoint flash method.
