Is the Redmi Pro the best Xiaomi device atm?

Hi,
I am pretty new to the Xiaomi- and especially to the Mediathek-world. This is why I have this noob question :silly:
Is the Redmi Pro currently the top smartphone by Xiaomi, at least hardware-wise?
Of course, besides Mi5/S, which run the SD 820/821...
Or is e.g. the Note 4 the stronger device, or any other? As far as I know, the Redmi-line is more a budget-thing, right?
Thx for any info on this! :highfive:
Best

Redmi Pro is known as the Xiaomi Redmi's flagship and that means It is the strongest of the Redmi's even that it is Mediatek powered . mediatek disadvantage is that they does not release sources (which is needed for compiling custom roms and kernels) and the Snapdragon release its sources thats because snapdragon devices are the most wanted and that means bigger price but weaker phone. redmi pro's helio x20 or x25 is compared to snapdragon 810 and and its very close to sd 820. Redmi note 4 has the same chip (x20) but isnt better than redmi pro.Redmi note 4 PRO has a sd652 and that means it has more development for that device.
If you want a phone with a lot development buy redmi note 4 PRO --- if you want a stronger phone buy REDMI PRO.
PS: the best xiaomi for now is MI MIX (the bezelles device

Thank you very much! My times of ROM-hopping are over...my current S7 is not even rooted...so I guess the Redmi Pro will be my first try on the chinese devices (Huawei P9 would be interesting, too, but I am searching for a bigger phone)
I have checked the Mix, it looks gorgeous and I would love to get my hands on this, but the price is far from what I invest in smartphones normally...
So, next step is checking the int. Xiaomi-ROM for the Pro, how to install and what to expect...

The best xiaomi device now is mi5, mi mix, mi note 2.

S7 has much better camera. Redmi Pro is not considered as flagman.
Xiaomi has better models like Mi5.
Even so I would prefare Redmi Pro because of OLED display.
But now Im having trouble with flashing ROM as it doesn't has official global vertion. So you need to apply for unlock bootloader and wait. Some people wait more than 10 days.

It's a good phone but with some really annoying hang ups. ( performance in general is good to very good with occasional lag due to bad core switching, screen is nice although a tad dim for outdoor use, build quality is great)
First of all the camera is a complete waste of time and this appears to be a software issue as the sensor it's self is capable of taking decent photographs. But it's honestly one of the worst smart phone cameras I've used and I've used a lot.
If you've ever used a blackberry in 2010-2011 that's the sort of quality so expect only at higher resolutions.
Second of all Xiaomi appears to have abandoned further development for the device ( no news on 7.0)
Also its missing wireless n support which is just weird, doesn't bother me oh so much as I rarely transfer files over WiFi but still an odd omission.

x722 or Le Max 2

Basically I just want gcam to work, but I leaning to the le max 2, as the x722 seems to have too many issues within the ROM. What would you advise?

I think Google camera work good for Nougat rom. There is tread for Gcam, personally I don't mind as I use stock cam app, Footej etc. I haven't use Google cam.
For the phone before I have Le Max2 about 6 months, sold it just a little big and bulky. I bought X722 recently which have Sd820 same as Le Max2 so if you want more compact phone the choice is X722. For rom maybe Le Max2 is better as it been released for a while. X722 doesn't have its own rom, people just took rom from X720 and make some modifications to be compatible with the device.

The Le Max 2 has more custom ROM support and dev interest. x722 has very little and no truly stable Nougat ROMs. No Oreo either.

Lemax2 has qhd display 20mp camera for me it is better

Mi A1 with Google camera or Redmi Note 5 Pro

Hey guys! I just wanted to know is Mi A1 with Google camera performs better than Redmi Note 5 Pro or not.In stock Camera comparison Redmi Note 5 Pro is a clear winner but what happens with Google camera port.Can someone please compare and post some images and video samples of comparisons.
Thanks!

Mi A1 with GCam should be noticeably better than stock Redmi Note 5 Pro but, the Redmi will surely be able to run it too (just give it some time). The 5 pro should be better once it gets it. It is also packing a somehow superior sensor, Sony's IMX 486 while the A1 is running a generic omnivision sensor.

Redmi Note 5 Pro also can use GCam port later. So guess...who is the winner ?

the winner or the best one.. is the one we have right now.. :cyclops:

Current - it would be the Mi A1 with GCam . Soon , once the Note 5 Pro do have the Gcam installed , then my guess it will be better than the Mi A1 . Looking at the N5 Pro comes with a better lenses installed .

Yes mi a1 is batter far from note 5 and 5 pro.
MI A1 IS BEST MOBILE TILL TODAY 19-2-18-... USE IS CHEERAFULLY:laugh:

Google Camera 4.1.006.135988111 version or lower, its disappointing we cannot use latest feature on samsung galaxy a9, m also confused why samsung didn't enable camera 2 api, were like new company xioami is enabling on there phone, like poco f1...one more thing, samsung should give pro and night mode on this phone also, becoz this phone is special for camera ( Quad camera ), If samsung can't give this feature on this phone then its not worth.

GCam 7 for Samsung A9 2018
hello pls can you help me. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 updated with android 10 from work. I want to root it just so that I can use Google camera but in 2 years be able to unroot it to give back to office. What exactly do I need to do to (1) backup current stock firmware and (2) get GCam 7.3 working on a Samsung A9?

My device(SM-A920F) have been root and I enable the camera 2 API,but I still can't use the gcam when I open it, it's black screen then crash.
How to do to let Google camera attached the lens?

Hello, you found a solution, the same thing happens to me in all the versions that I have installed.

Why is there not a good GCAM still?

The S20 is almost 6 months old and still there is not a good gcam option even for snapdragon.
Yes there are 7.2 and 7.3 versions that work but none of them really improve on the stock camera. Also other than one single config for the ultra I have not found a config file anywhere for the S20 or S20+. Other models from OnePlus or Xiaomi or Oppo seem far better supported.
What gives? Is it because most S20s are actually exynos that devs are not bothering with it? I picked up a snapdragon with GCAM in mind but honestly it looks like there are better options if you want to run GCAM.
