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.

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.

                                      Everything is good except one : the audio recording quality is’absolutely terrible. If you buy this phone dont expect to record any musical event with it, the sound its total garbage
