Indian redmi note 5 (single camera ) is Redmi 5 plus in china.
Indian Redmi note 5 pro (dual camera) is Redmi note 5 in china..

Yes I really don't understand all of this complexe and useless name.
If I not mistake, I own a note 5 pro but in France it's call note 5!.
I have dual camera, B20 bandwidth, snapdragon 636.
I read note 5 have snapdragon 625 and less 4g bandwich. Note 5 is only the Indian version and note 5 pro the global.
INo?! I'm going crazy!!?

I think because ReNo5 Pro (india) was released earlier than ReNo5 (CN/golbal)

yeah, just like others said, the naming this time was really confusing.

India : Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred, SD 636)
CN/Global : Redmi Note 5 (whyred, SD 636)

India : Redmi Note 5 (vince, SD 625)
CN/Global : Redmi 5 Plus (vince, SD 625)

so basically, there just 2 versions of Redmi Note 5, Indian version (RN5Pro) and CN/Global version (RN5)
so yeah, this forum is the correct one for your device
just make sure if u wanted to flash custom roms/mods, use the CN/Global version

Coz they released whyred in India way earlier than China and Global. So xda made a placeholder with name Redmi Note 5 Pro. But seems like many global and china users want a separate section....they submitted a request to xda to separate RN5 Pro from RN5 China/Global. If you want to support that, then do so :)

For me, I'm fine with the name Redmi Note 5 Pro.

correct, but this was 2-3 months ago, can't the section renamed ?
@Ghoul159 i don't believe that the problem is to have different sections for rn5 and rn5pro (the rn5 the world has, not the one for india :p )

but i believe that the section must renamed to something like Redmi Note 5/5 Pro cause the device is the same (cammera's different) and after the latest roms (i think) they have also all camera's drivers included

the confusing section is the other, the Redmi Note 5/5 Plus , this has to be renamed , to something like Redmi 5 Plus/Note 5 India (sorry but 5 plus is the first released device and also the name is for all countries except india)

The other one is already renamed to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus. I don't know if they do this for pro too. But it's up to xda. And I just that said many global users are wishing to separate RN5 Pro altogether and create a new section for RN5 global/china users coz of slight hardware diff. This is kinda absurd imo. But I support changing name to Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Pro. It's possible only if more users submits a request to xda staff to change the name :D
