Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro hands-on review

16 February 2018

            I would like to see a performance comparison against the Redmi Note 3 with SD650. We all know the Note 4 was lacking in the SoC department. Both CPU and GPU were considerably weaker on the Note 4 (SD625) va Note 5. Is the Note 5's GPU faster than the Note 3's?

                  Agree with closing statement, MIUI is really good in the old days since android doesnt even have blacklist and extra feature is always nice, but today MIUI actually crippled a lot of basic feature in android it kind of stupid to choose MIUI over stock now.

                    Camera not bad. EIS recording is better than some flagships. Furthermore, it is not expensive. Good phone.

                            MIUI got a bit of a refresh with Limitless theme in MIUI 9, over the classic (boring) one which you seem to have enabled during review.

                                      Nice specs.. looks like the usual good overall quality from Xiaomi. But those bezels are so ugly.
