Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera review

14 June 2018
Looking at the title of the review, we can't help but think a quick explanation is in order. Namely, one clearing up which product we are reviewing. We've seen horrible naming conventions in the smartphone realm time and time again, but as far as sheer complexity and confusion of choice goes, Xiaomi arguably takes the cake with the current Redmi generation.

      I seriously don’t get why I bought three of the red I note 5 but only one of them has developers settings the other two doesn’t have.

        Mi A2 or note 5ai?

          I seriously like this phone , and I already ordered it on aliexpress.com (the 4 gigs varient) ,but the thing is , I'm seriously concerned about the durability of this device , can it last 2 years if I don't drop it or break it myself ? or will it start going crazy after a few months of use ?
          Xiaomi phones in general seem to be fine , but going for something new is always scary , and like most people , I don't have infinite money to buy a flagship phone so I am stuck with this price range , and this phone seemed like a perfect fit for me (even though I don't care about the camera, it seemed like a nice addition to a budget phone)

          the review has taken everything into account , I have never seen such details in a review , so I would like to thank GSM arena for that.

          can we solve the 3.5 audio jack problem with an app or a software update ? or is it a hardware problem?

          also is this phone likely to receive an android 9.0 pie update ? I think it is because it is the latest phone of the "Redmi note" series but I'm not sure .

                    Is the screen of this phone really that dark? Even at 75% brightness, the display is still not that well lit.
