Which is the best version of the Pie firmware?

[TwentyØnePenguins]

Hello there!
I'm still running the old Oreo firmware on my note 5 pro (global), but I've been having some issues and I feel its time for a reinstall.

However as far as I can see, every ROM under the sun requires the "new" (well, its not new anymore) Pie firmware, and as I understand it, that firmware brings a slight downgrade in battery life among other things, but it seems to depend upon which version is installed.

So, which version of the Pie firmware is considered the best as of now in terms of performance/battery and all that jazz.

Any advice would be very appriciated!

I've used many firmwares but 9.4.25 is best for me bcoz it shows correct battery specification while charging (4000 mAh)

Does firmware version make a noticable difference? Also, it's safe to downgrade Pie firmware?

Not much, it is safe to downgrade without any brick (make sure u flash above 9.5.19)

This is what i've heard as well, (one on 9.xx but i dont remember which one it was, haha) but I figure it's safer to go with this and upgrade later if it gives me trouble. I am on ARB4 and I don't know how the different firmware versions play with it...

11.0.3.0

Interesting, I don't think I've seen 11.xx recomended that much, have you found it to be better.

Also just generally I know this is a very nitpicky subject, but since Xiaomi has blessed their phones with ARB I really dont want to screw it up, need the phone to keep on working, haha

It has newer blobs and vedors stuff. I'm using custom Q(android 10) ROM, soo I must using Q firmware for compatibility.
Besides that any ABR4 firmware is good to go.
