I was reading the comment section for gsmarena I believe and i noticed someone complain about the redmi note 5 pro only having one colour for the notification light. However i tried to search for information regarding this on the internet but was only able to find a youtube video on the review of the redmi note 5 pro from gadgets.ndtv.com that showed a front facing white light they used for the 20mp selfie; jump to 4:18 for the diffused led fill light at the front.

If anyone can provide information about the notification light on the redmi note 5 pro, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Dont worry it'll be a RGB notification light. They won't cut corners on notification light for their note series atleast.
Update (23-05-2018): Turns out the notification light is a single color unit.

Dont worry its an RGB led. Its just the color is restricted to white only( like in my redmi 4x). It'll be enabled on custom roms.

For the final test ,those who can try out the app "Light Manager - LED Settings" from playstore and reply to the group so that it can be helpful for the potential buyers

I've tried other LED color changing apps, and I think it is a monocolor LED.

The Mi6, Mi Note 3, 5X and A1 only have white notification LEDs. It seems Xiaomi made the decision 12 months ago that new models would not include a RGB LED. Please don't post information unless you're sure of its accuracy.

Bro i have redmi 4 and it also came with single white notification light but it turned out to be a rgb unit. So on custom roms the rgb led is perfectly working fine.

That's good to know. However, it would be good to confirm that's the case with all models or if you got lucky with the R4. :)

He ain't lucky, he is correct. The hardware supports RGB, but the stock software limits it to white light.

Custom ROMs may very well have the option to enable the complete RGB unit.

Yeah, I understand, but it would be nice to have confirmation about the other models I mentioned. It would make sense that it's simply a software limitation based on what he reported, but Xiaomi may have changed things in other models for all we know.

They may have changed for other device. But it ain't luck for sure for R4 as each one has rgb unit, just limited to white only in miui.
Also i hope its the same with R5pro.

Guys i confirm we do not have RGB LED.
It is just a white LED so using apps is useless.
Redmi note 5 and Redmi note 5 pro both have the same white single colour LED.
So it is not a software issue or software limitation but it is seriously absent.

Sources :- Comparing notification LED module form Teardown videos of RN5P, RN5, RN4, R4 available in YouTube.

PS :- Not only that we have single tone (white) dual LED flash for back camera. So no dual tone available. It is strange that there is dual tone LED flash for Redmi note 5 and single tone for redmi note 5 pro.
