I did a search on Qoo10 it seems like I am seeing quite a number of rn5p instead of rn5. Is it that those are not legit? On Lazada I found rn5, but stated as export set (china), I take it that since definitely I am going to unlock and root, there's no difference buying export or local right?

I also saw Global version (cheaper than export set). What is Global version by the way??
All of them are rn5 cn.
rn5 India is called redmi 5 plus everywhere else in the world

It is quite confusing especially with qoo seller naming note 5 pro also.. As long as the set is from China and the front camera is 13megapixel it is the correct set.

Indian redmi note 5= redmi 5 plus in singapore.. (single back camera in the center)

Indian redmi note 5 pro is exclusive to the to India only with 20 front mega pixel camera and only andriod 7 now. Dual camera

China redmi note 5 dual camera is also call redmi note 5 AI is the so called better version then Indian redmi note 5 pro. Better in the bigger back sensor size, andriod oreo, and dual 4g sim support and AI etc.

So guys, just to re-cap :


RN5 Pro indian version is the one with 20MP selfie cam and altho it comes with a rear dual-cam, it has a worse camera ?

Redmi 5 Plus (Global Version) is Tiongland version and altho it comes with a rear single-cam, it has a better camera ?


EDIT : I watched from youtube this RN5 Pro comes in two packaging boxes color, white and red. The red one only states NOTE 5 while the white box states the full name RN5 Pro.

So, what's the diff between the white box and the red one ?

The white box is actual Indian version ? Red box is actual from Tiongland (Global Version) ?

White packaging -




Red packaging -

you won't ever see rn5p here.
1. it's more expensive
2. it's aways out of stock
3. it has older a droid version and significantly worse battery life and main cameras

Are you talking about the 20MP selfie-cam one, reportedly from India version ?

If yes, just go to Little India area.

They have abundance of stock there.

Last pricing I know of is about $299 for a 4GB/64GB edition.

This thread is for redmi note 5 which has dual back camera, why you bring in redmi 5 plus?

The camera setup of the Indian Redmi Note 5 Pro is similar to the Mi 6X, with a 12MP+20MP dual rear camera and a 20MP front camera.

software of 6x is WAY better though. the video and photos of the 6x is stunning. the indian rn5p is not so much.

Partly due to f/1.7 but definitely a big part on the software.

So guys, in a nutshell, if I were to buy this RN5 Pro should I go for the white or red box edition (irregardless of price between this two) ?

Xiaomi sexperts recommendation ?


White box - Assumely indian version (with 20MP selfie cam)

Red box 1 - (China Version with 6GB ram) + 13MP selfie cam

Red box 2 - (Global Version with max 4GB ram) + 13MP selfie cam

Actually, I would still prefer the India version for the Global ROM, less hassle and bugs.
