Xiaomi redmi note 3 vs redmi note 3 pro, which to buy?

Hey
I wanted to buy a redmi note 3
but I've found many products which are confusing, between redmi note 3 and redmi not 3 pro
some comes with 5 inch screen with 720P, some come with 5.5 1080p
and I've seen some websites sell the 5.5 inch, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal memory with snapdragon processor as "Xiaomi redmi note 3"
like this website
and others sell the same as "Xiaomi redmi note 3 Pro"
like this website
so which is the better and which is safer to buy?

I think you need buy redmi pro.If you want Xiaomi,you can buy Xiaomi 5

The snapdragon version is called Pro in some countries. Note 3 is always 5.5 inches. My recommendation is to go for 3GB/32GB Pro. Personally I had to settle with 2GB model due to 3GB not available in my region.

Thank you
I've already bought the snapdragon 3GB/32GB, but there is a 5" version
The sad part is when I ordered the phone, before I've received it Xiaomi announced the note 4 with same price or even slightly lower

Seems to me you got yourself a Redmi 3 Pro instead. In any case, it will be awhile before Redmi note 4 starts to become more widely available. So enjoy what you have for now [emoji4]

[Discussion] Wait for Redmi 4 vs Buy Redmi 3s prime now

Hi everyone
I am looking to upgrade my secondary device and I can not decided between if I should order a Redmi 3s Prime now and it would be with me by mid November or should I wait for Redmi 4?
Now there are factors which can affect the decision and I am sure many of you might be in similar situation as well. I like to game a little on my device mostly FPS online like Nova or MC4. I do not play any other game and I plan to stick with these games as well. I can run these on 1gb and Sd410 with some frame drops.
REDMI 4
The redmi 4 was leaked around late August and Gsmarena tipped it to be with Snapdragon 625 and 1080 HD display. However it is NOT officially released yet.
Complete specifications can be looked here :
http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4-8263.php
if we talk about generally, the advantages of redmi 4 over 3s,
more support
rom development
better performance
moving to nougat before redmi 3s which might stay at marshmallow.
Different design with a curve which may help in grip as 3s is slippery
HD display 1080 vs 720
If we look at 430 vs 625, we see there is no comparision between the two. 625 is a clear winner in all aspects
These are strong points out of which only the snapdragon 625 attracts me more.
Why to go for 625 ?
Smaller size Soc 14nm vs 28nm on redmi 3s prime which translate to 30-35% more user friendly
Higher clock speed: 2ghz speed vs 1.4 so better gaming and performance
Big Little Technology : It utilises faster cores when gaming and slower cores while reading/emails/browsing to safe additional battery
Better modem : X9 vs X6
Now the only issue is WHEN it will be available as I am looking to get a device by Christmas.
Now the problems waiting for Redmi 4
Not announced at all and no clue when it may happen
After availability, it will take some time to be available on distributers and it will take time
be expensive as it is not available in Europe and initially new devices are expensive
May need to wait long
maybe 1080 eats more battery and thus Redmi 3s wins in better battery performance
Now what will you guys do in this situation ??
I want your opinion and REASONS why ?

I think the Redmi 4 has the Mediatek Helios chipset or is that just the Note?. If it has, it probably still has poor gps and power consumption as with all their past chipsets. The Qualcomm chipsets win hands down...

I actually posted it when redmi 4 wasn't announced. Now it's a clear choice. REDMI4 prime

I bought the new redmi 4, last week, in alegrecompra.com. I'm waiting to received it. you can also find it in http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_563921.html?wid=21.
This is much better than redmi 3s .
I hope the cyanogemod is working as soon as posible in a room for this mobile phone

In my case, i prefer wait for redmi 4, but 3s is more popular in índia, and when xiaomi publish your kernel sources, 3s is gone receive much custom ROMs, and redmi 4 dont, because xiaomi is too slow to publish kernel sources, but redmi 4 is more beatiful too... If i have money to redmi 4 and 4 prime, i choose the 4 prime... I'm thinking to move from R4Prime, but i will wait for kernel sources and choose.

I use the Redmi 4 Prime for 4 Days now, and it's FANTASTIC, battery life is way better than Redmi 3S
Can't wait for the Redmi 4 section here at XDA and some developers to get their hands on

Is the design of the sim carrier any better on the 4 than it is on the 3?. The 3 has a poor design which means that you can only use one sim if you want to use a microsd card at the same time. I have an Elephone which has a dual sim and microsd carrier. This is the same size as the redmi 3 design but allows both sims and the microsd to be used simultaneously.

Sorry, your reply is not clear.
Do you mean the same design as the Redmi 3 pro/s? I.E, you can't use both sims and a microsd card at the same time?

Yep.. It's a hybrid slot like the Redmi 3 Pro/S Note 3 Pro...
Use 2 SIMs or one SIM and one MicroSD

Redmi 3S Prime vs Redmi Note 3 Pro

What device is better in terms of performance?
Snapdragon 650 vs Snapdragon 430
3GB vs 3GB
32GB vs 32GB
I currently have the Redmi Note 3 Pro but thinking of getting the 3S as I want a smaller phone that fits in my hand better.

There's a price difference first but IMO, RN3 performs better because of the two performance cores out of the six cores, GPU also outperforms the one on 3SP. But, due to the smaller screen size, larger battery and more power efficient processor, 3SP is a good choice.
I bought the 3SP because I prefer phones with screen size less than 5.5 inches, I have medium sized hands plus coming from a 4.7 inch screen (Redmi 2), 5.0 inches seemed like the next best thing because I had some trouble handling the 5.5 inch phone (Moto G4 Plus).
Long story short, if you want a device that lasts longer on battery, smaller screen size and is a bit cheaper, go for 3SP. If you want more power, a bigger screen and a better GPU but is a bit costlier, go for RN3.

Note 7 or Note 7 Pro

I have seen Xiaomi is going to release Note 7 in Feb 28 but I have been wondering that "It comes it with snapdragon 660 or 675?". If they release Note 7 with snapdragon 675, the Note 7 Chinese version will lose android development because no developer will buy it.

The only difference is the cpu? Perhaps it's the same rom?

Probably, The answer is No

I just heard the Note 7 Pro is coming with an in-display fingerprint reader, such a turn-off

I think Note 7 is much more value for money compared to Pro.

Do you think IMX586 48MP is just advertising of OEMS? My oneplus one can do a 51mp pic too.

I'm talking about other factors, even my 3 years old Zenfone could take 48mp pics.
The rate increases by almost 50% for just camera and SD675 upgrade.

What 50% rate? If you are talking about price, you are mistaken. It will be 50USD more expensive than RN7 for the equivalent ram/storage variant. And thing about in screen fingerprint is a rumor based from that 48 Mp teaser photo. If the specs were based off the teaser, there would also be 24W charging and liquid cooling. But that would put this phone in above 300 USD price range which would basically make it more expensive than a Pocophone. And nobody would be buying it. But they are presenting it is a game changer, budget king and so on. Makes no sense from marketing point of view and is completely illogical business-wise. After all, all phone manufacturers are in the business of making money.
Don't board the sheep train. There will be no in screen fingerprint, only different cpu and camera sensor, eventually more ram/storage

the big thing for the pro is north american support. the note 7 doesn't support proper north american radios, the pro will, its the same with all previous generations

Why you know? note 7 global haven't released yet

As far as I know only the processor is different between note 7 and note 7 pro. But it's not noticable when day to day use. Is there any difference between in these devices apart from processor.

The main different is camera: Pro comes with sony imx 586 and other hand is samsung m1.

I want metal frame + Sony IMX586 ( for Google Cam ) + Snap 670/675/710/712 on N7 Pro
I don't like plastic bezel on N7

You have mate 20 pro, why buy budget phone like this?

I think note 7 is much more bang for buck in terms of value for money when compared to the note 7 pro.
the Rate at which technology and phones cycle now you need to upgrade yearly now to be on par with whats new, I would much rather spend on mid range once a year than buy pro or flagship and look outdated a year and half later...

is there NFC only on the pro version?
