Apart from usb C and fast charging, any other advantage over the note 5/6?

1. It is cheaper i.e. From launch.
2. The base version is 4/64gb
3. It has 3 slots. i.e. separate micro-sd slot.
4. It weighs less and it is shorter in all dimension; which means it will be easier and better in handling.
6. And the overall design is better(subjective though)
5. The notification light seems to be multi-coloured (not 100% sure of this)

Modify: The 3 slots feature also seems not to be available from comments on Gsmarena. Video review will show and confirm all preliminary features stated.

lovelani:


Please what's the seller's name ?

Prices are good now even after the 11:11 sales

All this are good, I bought from "Xiaomi Mi Store"

Mehn the guys never ship till now, Goldway is better with fast shipping.

Ohhhh that's really good then. Very impressive.

Me wey don save that their link teh teh I just felt Aliexpress is more straight forward compared to that site.
On the custom rom part, lenovo phones don't have much presence on Xda. I feel their phones should command more presence compared to some of their counterparts.

Sure, but aliexpress is unpredictable during these period. Phones like P2 actually have respectable presence on xda, it was kinda similar to rn4 too in terms of price to performance ratio. I bliv this will also b like dat

I just checked comments on Gsmarena, it's like the 3 slots is not 100% confirmed. A video review will shed better light on this part. Nonetheless, the phone is a very good alternative to Redmi note 5/6 pro.

Good day Family,

Anyone here sells Xiaomi notebooks (laptop)?
I will appreciate different available types and prices so I can place order.

Many thanks

Its hybrid, I saw the picture of the slot from a feedback on the lenovo site

Thank you. They were separate and one came in on Monday and the other yesterday.

I just hope development will pick up soon for this Lenovo K5 pro; it is rather too slow, imagine! There is still no YouTube Unboxing not to talk of review It is what the Redmi note 5/6 pro should have been.
One good samaritan should now port all those sGSI MiUi 10 roms to it!
my craving will just increase by 100%
Imagine the 6/128gb version can be gotten at around 83k+ on Aliexpress.

MIUI 10 nor MIUI in general isn't a GSI rom.

[quote author=passedpawns post=72959059][/quote]

That is exactly the amount they charged my friend who bought a device worth 31k. I think they just randomly ascribe a value to the device and then use that to calculate the charges.

ElvisMcCoy:
I just got back from the post office collected two RN5 phones and paid only 1k for both, Oshodi PO, Lagos... Handling charges only no customs charges. So happy. They were from HK Goldway. I thank God

It's not about the post office you collected from. The charges are places from HQ before shipping to the respective post offices.

Then you need to read up on Xda. There are a number of MiUi 10 based sGSI rom available online.

Well, with the base version being very cheap from launch and the 6/128gb readily available at a sweet price, the hybrid sim slot shouldn't really be an issue.

GSI image
ATM machine
I doubt there is, the only official one which was being built by CosmicDan turned out to be an abandoned project. I don't think it'll be legal too for a developer not working or authorized by MIUI to build a MIUI GSI because of MIUI cloud features except most of MIUI features would be excluded. It'll be damn cool if MIUI has an official MIUI GSI Cus it'll make devs work easy, implementing updates instead of individual model development.
The only GSI available are AOSP(and aosp based images). Just like my ROM too is Treble/GSI. I can flash the same zip file on any Arm 64 bit device with same partition style.

i bought redmi note 5 last week from macbeyland he delivered, this week i also bought redmi 5 plus he also delivered. thanks man

Supposedly Gsi wey go throw your phone into eternal turmoil.
What you're seeing there is a port and you'll have to flash Lotta patches and pray it even boots. Even tho expected boot time is 20mins
lemme get a quote for you from d dev.

WARNING:I‘m not responsible for any consequences at all.This is an OEM rom ported from Redmi phone so it may cause wrong behaviors including partition overwritting and may brick your phone or break hardwares.
I strongly recommend you take a completely full backup of your device and know how to recovery firmwares in case of any problems.

Read comments on the thread and see Lotta complaints, only device it worked(non xiaomi) is an OP5T with Lotta bugs that made it unusable. Which Xiaomi user would want a GSI MIUI10 when there's the official with OEM support?

No let Indians put your phone for eternal brick o

To a considerable length you seem to have knowledge about the treble/GSI topic. But, if you noticed one or two of my last post, I stated "sGSI" which means: semi-Generic System Image The thing you ommitted is that most Xiaomi phones running on Android Oreo (8.0+) or thereabout partially supports Treble and not fully i.e. the partition 'A' part needed in conjunction with partition 'B' for treble is supported( partition 'B' is not supported on Xiaomi phones). Due to this, some specific MiUi 10 roms for specific devices have been able to be ported for other devices with partition 'A' support part needed for treble.

Didn't see your sGSI in your statement earlier. My bad!
Why I replied initially wasn't because of which xiaomi phones support treble or devices with sGSI support but instead d person thinking of flashing the sGSI on a lenovo. There aren't really any vids online of the MIUI Sgsi running on other devices, even with partition A support. Even if it works, you'll have Lotta software bugs because of MIUI additional features. That's why it works better on stock Android, there isn't any bloat.

You have yet to scrub through Xda very well. How exactly did you think Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 got not just one but 3 oreo MiUi 10 port? Shey Xiaomi release official 8.0 rom for Redmi note 4 ni?

I get your drift now. Well! Flashing is not for the faint-hearted But I personally feel the sGSI craze is still in its infancy, over the few weeks/months to come, developers will get better at porting and ensuring minimal bugs.
Interesting days ahead I say!

In addition to the above, if you check youtube, you should see a ZUI 5.0 Oreo ported rom review on Redmi 5 plus and even another one on the Redmi Note 5.
With the above, you should see there is now a lot of added possibilities in terms of rom portability from one android OEM to another, it is now not limited to just AOSP roms alone.

You're mistaking the whole point, there's a difference between a port and a generic system image. There are lots of MIUI 9 and 8 ports for many Samsung and other devices. It's a port, that same rom wouldn't work on any other device, it'll lead to a brick. But for GSI's, you can flash for any phone regardless of the OEM as far as it has full treble support.
There can be MIUI 9 rom port for example for Leeco cool pad 1, you can only use it for that coolpad 1. Can't be used on any other device!
GSI is different, you just need one image/firmware like there is for android pie.
That firmware without any editing would work on all treble supported devices
Google Pixel.
Google Pixel XL.
Huawei Mate 9.
Huawei Mate 10 Lite.
Honor 7X.
Honor 8 Pro.
Honor 9.
Honor 9i..... Etc
It's generic, port roms are specific.

Thanks for the enlightenment! The semi part still confirms and proves my point to an extent though. And I kinda feel the idea behind the sGSI and the functions are a little bit different from the normal GSI.

I don't know of ZUI and Zenfones OS but..
Regarding oxygen OS, the one for note 5 is Oxygen OS 5.1.0 which is pie. Remember oneplus OS is close to stock AOSP and pie was the beginning of GSI. The OOS 5.1.0 is also a GSI or lemme say semi gsi it'll run on most phones with treble support.. Not only note RN5 think semi GSI may be thing a thing actually

Oos 5.1.0 is oreo.
And it isnt a gsi...its a dssi port from op5t
Thats the one i recognise...those gsi still cant work without issues with stock vendor...needs vendor patched...Dssi port looks better
