AnonD-591003, 01 Oct 2016The one with dual camera, Mi5s Plus. in my opinion camera is better on mi 5s. mi 5s has camera close to last year's nexus and mi 5s plus has camera which was in huawei p9. The nexus camera was the better one

YO, 02 Oct 2016all the new devices after mi 4 or mi note have locked bootl... moreWith the Mi Note Pro I just flash via Fastboot with the method I mentioned below below. On newer devices I see to make it simple it needs to be unlocked or a cable is needed. Qualcomm drivers now need to be side loaded via ADB, otherwise the method remains the same:
http://en.miui.com/thread-299790-1-1.html
Xiaomi.eu(unofficial global firmware that trims 200mb+ of crap out and includes many languages) you ensure your phone is unlocked then just install the Chinese weekly, enable root, flash twrp for your specific device found on the same weekly page at xiaomi.eu via Flashify with root (just download the apk https://onhax.me/flashify), then install the xiaomi.eu firmware under twrp.
You only do that once. After install updates via the updater app when it's available or manually down directly from xiaomi.eu and use the "Choose update package" option in the updater app. Also the great thing about this is you don't need to wait around for weeks/months for official global firmware when a new device comes out.

iZmail, 01 Oct 2016I'm planning to but a new smartphone..my budget is below 23... moreWell under 23k, i will say definetly zuk z2 plus.
Reasons
Pros
1) 3500mah with 5 inch 1080p display (lemax2 & mi5 have smaller battery and bigger screens that are hard to handle in your hands, also Lemax2 has QHD Display & it will deplete a lot of power a lot faster)
2) 3.5mm jack (lemax2 doesnt have that)
3) 4gb ram & 64gb storage (xiaomi only has 3gb & 32gb plus there cpu is underclocked)
4) after sale service maybe better cuz lenovo is well established brand in india while xiaomis after sale service is crap (dont know about leecos service)
5) stock android experience and not zui
Some Cons too
1) storage is not fast ufc 2.0 but old slower mmc (sorry dont know exactly what both r called)
2) camera quality not so good for the price or so i have heard from users of z2 (though cpu gpu are too good for the price)
3) thicker size than the other 2 phones
4) may or may not have HW support to play HEVC 10bit 1080p videos which other 2 can play with mxplayer (still waiting for users to confirm about this)
For now i could only remember about all this. Also i will recommend u to extendyour budget and get oneplus 3. its better than all other 820 soc phones also has fast android updates and patch plus a lot more support for root & custom rom etc from xda community. But if u cant do that than go for z2.
I hope it helps. :)

Chrjns, 30 Sep 2016Its easy to get global stable rom from miui.com, but now yo... moreNope, no pin is required. Fastboot firmware you just plug it into the usb in fastboot mode(hold volume down and power button) and flash it via MiFlash under windows, make sure you tick to do a full wipe. This ensures nothing from the previous firmware interferes. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html for the MiFlash app and latest firmware.
Edit: I see you may need to unlock(I didn't have to). this is actually easy, you can apply now while signed into your Xiaomi account at the the link above, it takes 2 days usually. Once your account has the ability to unlock you can instantly unlock any Xiaomi phone.
