Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus review

23 January 2018
So, no more Redmi Notes eh? The Redmi 5 Plus should clearly have been the Note 5, a successor of the Redmi Note 4, but Xiaomi wanted a fresh start. The fifth generation is trying to shake things up and the new look obviously called for a new name. So, Xiaomi retired the Note brand promoting the Plus from a mere qualifier to a proper name. The phablet lives on regardless, and goes all-in with a wide 6" screen.

Sort by:

In the specification it is planned to upgrade to pie but as I know so far there is no official news about that from Xiaomi. According to their policy they give only one major update to redmi device which redmi 5 plus already got one. Is it an error made by gsmereana? I wanted some clarification.

        The new software update (MIUI 10), although being a beta version, turns down the batteri quality a lot and makes it lose percentage fast. I wish you could go back to MIUI 9 while MIUI 10 we're beta. Also the phone comes with *a lot* of highly unnecessary bloatware that takes up tons of storage. But overall I would say that this phone is worth the price. Good looking, great camera and with a lot of customability with the app 'Themes' that was sadly not available in my region but I just changed my region to India.

                                Use a quick charge 3.0 charger and it can fully charge from 1% to 100% in just roughly 1hr and 30mins!

                                    Im quite a little bit disappointed by its front camera specially during low light conditions.There is so much noise and quality not good. The rear camera is pretty average though.
