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.

PapaRafe, 25 Jan 2018I know it's a preference but can't help notice Xiao mi app ... moreXiaomi's 5 plus body design and Miui looks and feels as Apple's ios iPhone 6.

    Bought This Phone 2 week ago. i am really impressed, performance is fast and snappy, apps opens in a flash , gaming is also Good and battery life is exceptional.
    you cant find any phone in this price right now. with snapdragon 625 and this high res screen panel. the only draw back is camera, camera is good but not the best

            Sold my s9 plus as I faced WiFi connection problem always other phones had no issues. I decided ditch this phone and got this phone as recommended by the salesperson. Man I love this phone..good battery life...gd screen quality...no WiFi connection issues. Samsung is becoming like next HTC company.

            For 240 dollars you get more functions then high s9 phone.

              Benchmark wise, the Redmi Note 3 is still a bit better than this phone. So what's the deal then? Better standby time or something?

                    AnonD-646774, 27 Jan 2018Mobile phone business is biggest business in the world. Tho... moreDon't buy it then. Save your money. Bizarre commenting about gullibility of consumers regarding smartphone purchases to then go and spend 500 quid on the next model of the phone you just bought. You said you only need a midranger but you're buying a high end phone which will be marginally better than what you have. Must have plenty of money.

                      I just bought this phone, blue at SGD229 from MI flagship store at Suntec City.
                      It comes with matt screen protector & clear jelly cover; basic but it gets you going when accessories retailers still haven't sell anything for this phone. Kudos to Xiaomi!
                      I'm liking this phone for its powerful specifications, less the cameras paired it with the selling price (5.99", 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM, Android 7.1.2, expansion slot 128GB, dual SIM, 12M Front & 5M cameras, 4000 mAH batteries, 2.4/5 GHz WiFi & etc)
                      MIUI 9 is packed with custom wallpaper and themes.
