    No doubt, build quality, screen resolution/size, performance is better than many phones.
    but here are some drawbacks.

    1: Lack of apps support, many apps force close. for example app name google camera and many others.

    2: milliseconds of lag in home screen transition, whenever you came back to screen there is a lag.

    3: Camera is Average

    4: Privacy issue/ Xiaomi install apps without user consent. Check your self an app named "mab" in setting/installed apps. it came back automatically every time i uninstalled this. i researched over the internet and found that this "mab" app is responsible to collect user data/info (don't know what type info). this make xiaomi suspicious.

    5: too much bloatware, which you cant uninstall or disable.

          DealBreaker, 12 Apr 2018how about 180 seconds?...or 3 minutesI have an Apacer 16GB microSD card and it work without any issue.
          Try your memory card on another device and see if it works.
          If it works try another SD card from another brand possible and see if that works.
          If even that doesn't work your phone might have a defected SD card slot.

                              I am a light user. I have set bot sim to 2g mode and connect ed to wifi. On browsing the screen on time of 3 hours 77% of battery still left. In my opinion user like me i should easily last upto 7 hours of screen on time.
                              Camera is average dont expect more from camera.
                              Design looks good 18:9 with 5.99" screen
                              I bough this mobile only because of battery backup
                              Personally I dont like MIUI . I prefer stock android.

                                  Sigh(smile). It's been awhile since my latest post here and it'll probably a long story with my r5p. If you don't mind here is my story...
                                  Got the touchscreen issue also and so many bugs on miui fake global rom 9.2.0.2/locked bootloader/china version@if forced update with global rom it'll brick.
                                  But luckily i finally succeeded unlocking the bootloader and safely flash the latest miui version (currently 9.5.3.0) and the touchscreen issue solved/gone and several bugs fixed. Totally bring me back smiling.
                                  Hopefully i can continue to use this phone for another 2 years.

                                      i heard its possible to get 60fps or even 90 with other apps, but for those to work you have to unlock and root your phone,
