Redmi 5 Plus and Redmi Note 5 are basically same devices, maybe some difference in the bands, both have a processor SD625, R5+ called too R5P has a codename Vince and RN5 has a codename Whyred and was manufacturer for selling in India.

Redmi Note 5 Pro has processor SD636 and has many improvements comparing the other two.

Redmi Note 5 is the same (not exactly) device than Redmi 5 Plus except for the bands enabled.

This device was made it for India to implement these required bands for this country, for this reason not being an exact same it has other codename that is Whyred.

Indian Redmi Note 5 is vince. Whyred is separate device. Whyred is sold in India as Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Redmi 5 Plus (China/Singapore/Pakistan etc) -> Redmi Note 5 (India etc) -> SD 625, single back camera -> code name "vince"

Redmi Note 5 (China/Singapore/Pakistan etc) -> Redmi Note 5 Pro (India etc) -> SD 636, dual back camera -> code name "whyred"

Fastest way to check which phone you have if your phone is named Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi Note 5 or Redmi Note 5 Pro is to check how many back cameras it have. If you have single back camera it is vince, if you have two back cameras it is whyred

As for bands supported all of these support 4G LTE but I'm not sure which bands each supports. There is variation in bands supported between different variants of vince itself. There are also different variants of whyred that support different bands.

The device with codename whyred is a completely separate device. Indian Redmi Note 5 is in fact almost the same phone as Redmi 5 Plus and its codename is also vince.
Indian Redmi Note 5 is not whyred.

Indian Redmi Note 5 is not whyred.

I´m sure about my model, I have the first batch bought in pre-sale manufactured initially only for China. . OP asked for.
Your summary is correct but it´s needed some clarification,
If we take in account some background they´re and they´re not same device apparently (due to how they´re called depending from the region) so is precise to clarify this "error" from Xiaomi.

There is some confussion maybe due some effects caused by the globalization so after of my model that I own (chinese version) Xiaomi had release the international version (with international firmware) and thirdly released other version that is the Global version adding two bands; 4 and 20 (of course all of budget devices manufactured in 2018 comes with 4G, it´s imposible to imagine a device running only 3G actually atleast for this spectrum) for this reason it´s opened a same forum for these devices that is this.

The sequence of the last stated is as follows:
- Redmi 5 Plus with chinese firmware.
- Redmi 5 Plus with international firmware
- Redmi 5 Plus with two bands added (Global version) known as Redmi Note 5 in India, etc.

These three mentioned are the same like I said before with probably the unique difference that the third; Redmi Note 5 is a Global with more bands.

This is the reference: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_(redmi_5_plus)-8959.php so the members that opened this thread are in the correct otherway they would be wrong calling to this forum with that tittle.

Then it is the Redmi Note 5 (What? It´s not the same that the third mentioned? here´s the confussion, Xiaomi calls to this last device that was manufactured initially for India (of course maybe other neighbors countries may benefit) Redmi Note 5 but known in India like Redmi Note 5 Pro and distributed officially with this name.

This is the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redmi_Note_5

Then to have more clear this is the easy summary:

1- Redmi 5 Plus (both chinese + international firmware)
2- Redmi 5 Plus (Global version with 2 bands added) This launched as Redmi Note 5 in India and of course sold for all around the world due to globalization.
3- Redmi Note 5 (Launched with this name in China but released in India as Redmi Note 5 Pro)
For this reason if I buy from China it´s known as Redmi Note 5 but it´s different respect to our RN5 or R5P (R5+)

This is some reference: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-kernel-source-code-android-nougat-release/ see in the third paragraph.

The 2 first versions mentioned have the same specs and they are identical devices
(why 2 and not 3?) Both mentioned in the item 1 only have different firmware pre-charged but they have identical specs (SD625) and they are the same device and both have codename vince and the mentioned in the item 2 although it´s not an identical device (but virtually the same) also has the same processor SD625 and it too receives the same codename vince.
The mentioned in the item 3 has other processor (camera is a good detail at quick glance) this is the SD636 codename whyred.

How someone can distinguish the Redmi Note 5 (Global version of R5P or R5+) between the Redmi Note 5 also known like Redmi Note 5 Pro? well, for this reason Xiaomi is rebranding Redmi 5 Plus all versions to Redmi Note 5 and the version specially made it for India Redmi Note 5 to Redmi Note 5 Pro to avoid more confussions.

So finally we will have officially only these two variants (although some seller or people continues call them like they want)
1 - Redmi Note 5 - codename: vince (Redmi 5 Plus-both firmwares- and Redmi 5 Plus Global with 2 bands added).
2.- Redmi Note 5 Pro - codename: whyred.

I hope that this finally has been clarified.

I never doubted anything you had to say about the Redmi 5 Plus and its bands. I'm sure you know much more about the different variants than me. This post was quite clarifying. But in your previous post I got the wrong impression as if you meant that the device being sold in India as the Redmi Note 5 has a codename of whyred. You didnt mean that but that was what I inferred from that post. So I wanted to clarify that though whyred is the Redmi Note 5 in China and other markets in India it is sold as Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Redmi 5 Plus is sold as Redmi Note 5 in India. And by saying that they are same devices I meant mostly similiar and for most purposes they are as in you can use the same recoverys and ROMs. Thankyou for your post as after the mess that Xiaomi has created in naming these devices it helped me alot in understanding.
Plus my post was really simplified for people who wanted to know which device they have to know which ROM to flash as I have seen many such people in the forums so I wrote that as simple as possible.

Oh welcome, Your summary is very clear. The error comes from Xiaomi.

A device can receive other name if it is for other country due most of times to bands added but for me is incorrect to call a device the same name for a country (Redmi Note 5 in China instead of Redmi Note 5 Pro) and the same name for other country but for other device (Redmi Note 5 in India but instead of Redmi Note 5 Plus Global).

I read that this problem with nomenclatures will be solved.

That is exactly the problem that they are selling two different devices with the same name in different markets. And both devices have a separate name as well. Hope it is solved soon. :good:
