          Thanks again

I don't find the necessity of another case , my only complaint is that it's a tiny bit loose , it's not as tight as other cases , It does the job for what it is .

                Or would getting another case be a better option?

                    Im having issue with my redmi 5 plus.
                    Often times, my screen does'nt respond with my touch.
                    So to be able for to get back to normal,
                    I would have to lockscreen using the buttom at the side and turn it back on again.
                    Still have'nt updated my os since the day i bought it.
                    Please help me and reply on my post. Thank you, guys!

                    Ps: this happens mostly when am playing games. And seldom when i use fb, youtube etc.

                      kenot, 11 Jun 2018Which is better for gaming and for daily use Redmi 5 plus ... moresince this 2 phones have the same SOC. I'd say the 4x is better in this situation . it has a smaller 5.5 screen vs 5.99 , it also has a slightly bigger battery 4100mAh vs 4000mAh. 4X will last longer in terms of battery . i bought 5 plus because 4x wasnt available in my country and i prefer on screen button and overall the design of the 5 plus... in the end it depends on price you cant go wrong from either of them .

                        Anonymous, 11 Jun 2018Thanks for info :) in regards to charging, do you use the s... morei use the standard charger that came with the phone .

                          ray, 11 Jun 2018OK and thank you. I am eagerly waiting to buy a redmi mob... morei think the Pro version is the better buy , it gets a better soc sd 636 and also better camera .. overall its better than 5 plus..only the price will tell. aslong the price doesn't change much about 50 euro vhange is okay more or less. if you can get the pro with a great price get it.
                          here at my place pro is 259 euro while 5 plus is 180 euro.. id get the 5plusfor the price.. in this case the difference from each phone doessnt justify the price difference. but if u really want dual camera and a faster soc gonfor the pro... btw if youre looking forward for portrait pics , wait until xiaomi releases MIUI 10 it allows single camera to blur and the cabality to shoot portraits. they say between july it will launch.

                                Which is better for gaming and for daily use
                                Redmi 5 plus or Redmi Note 4x

                                  Vicky, 09 Jun 2018Which is better?redmi 5 plus or honor 9 lite?plz answer Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus .
                                  It's better in my opinion . better specs ,bigger screen and larger battery.

                                  maybe just for the camera if you want dual go for honor... or even consider buying the Xiaomi redmi 5 pro.. its really good .

                                    I bought this phone a month ago and so far i am very satisfied .
                                    I paid 250 euros for it when i came out , then the price went 180 euros .It's such a bargain .

                                    -Performance = with the Snapdragon 625 it handles pretty much anything you throw at it . I've never had any problems with it . The only thing is that sometimes when i have too many apps opened scrolling has a slow framerate on youtube .But can benfixed by clearing backround apps .
                                    Games runs fine , not max graphic settings often medium to low at a stable framerate at around ~30. I play Real Racing 3 , space frontier 2 , clash of clans. Some games might crash when you open it but its really rare .

                                    -Storage , i have 64gb and 4gb ram variant and so far i haven't filled it up yet. also with capability to expand with an sd card.

                                    -Display = I'm impressed . 1080 with a big 5.99 inch screen. , its pretty sharp..pixels are really un noticable . the brightness on daylight is not the best but enough to let you see and during the night it gets pretty dark . Read mode also come and handy to lessen the eye strain during night use.
                                    - Battery =it packs a huge 4000 mAh battery and so far it's the best feature of the phone.
                                    I am a heavy user , i watch lots of youtube videos and play games all the time .
                                    in a heavy use i get around 6-7 hrs of screen on time or even 8hrs if you really use it to the max often going to bed with 5-10 % remaing battery
                                    on normal day if not a heavy use i get around 9 hours if i only use it for watching videos and surfing web.
                                    it charges from 0 to 100% in about 2 hrs.

                                    -camera is decent its all i can say . it does its job but its not flagship like considering its a budget phone .
                                    -the speaker is loud enough to hear when outdoors.

                                    -the UI is not my type so i installed nova launcher and it looks like stock android and im happy with it

                                    -the build is super slippery so you must use the included silicon case . it helps reduce the slipperiness of the phone.. also buy a.screen protecter to protect it from scratches .

                                    TLDR: For under 200 euros it's one of the best for it's price , highly recomend it. i give it a 8.5/10 score .

                                      ray, 10 Jun 2018can this phone last for two years with daily basic usage? Yes it can.
