Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro hands-on review

16 February 2018
While some phones are inspired by the ‘less is more’ mantra, Samsung’s Galaxy Note family has always proudly claimed that ‘more is more’. More features, more options, more settings, more ways to interact with your handset, more choice made possible by the use of the best components adding up to the biggest and baddest spec list. To paraphrase a well known...

I have come to this phone from LG G4 which has consumed my three batteries with its hotfire SD 808. This phone is super snappy with all the great features (using 6gb varient). I have installed Nova launcher prime and now it feels like using a premium device due to its hardware and built quality along with Nova interface. Other manufacturers could have easily charged $200 more for RN5 pro like device.

        Camera, i would say LG G4 still have far better Image Quality and features (RAW shot, faster lens ) than Redmi Series, and still better than my Mi5.. (i dont know about mi6. They cut cost on sensor and lens)

        If you want to change to redmi series, never give high hope on camera, this is budget series, but with best price to performance ratio

        Good luck

            My Honest Review. Phone's specifications does not match with the user expectations. Camera quality is not up to the mark. Processing speed is slower than a quad core processor. Wi fi range is lesser than other devices with lesser price tag eg Micromax. Bty capacity is just about a day with wi fi on, much lesser than a 3000mAh bty of lenovo phone.

            Pls don't be in a rush to buy this phone just because of star ratings created by marketing agents. Use reviews of some one who has purchased and used it. I have purchased one.

Apple may be an American company but sorry all the parts come from the same region. This redmi note 5 Pro had ddr4 ram which is a sign of high quality hardware. It's running a fast and robust snapdragon 636 cpu. 4gb ram and a big 4000mah battery. How about researching this before you spout nonsense. If this was the apple redmi note 5 Pro, it would be on the market for 500 or 600 with the hardware it's using. It's far from perfect but pro rata, it gives far better value for money than the iPhone x. The iPhone x is nearly 5 times more expensive. It's possibly not even twice as good a phone. You don't know what you're talking about.

                It is indeed a very good phone but there are many system errors.....there are continuous system updates coming up but still there are many errors.I bought the phone 2weeks back and already got 2updates but the auto rotate is yet not working properly.

                Otherwise it's a really good phone for this price 🤗🤗🤗

                            Totally strange that they ditched 4k video recording despite the much more capable chipset. I hope it will become available upon a further update.
