    Hello readers, to explain more about pixel upscaling and the problems that'd be encountered with Xiaomi Redmi Note 5; It is like watching a 720p video in in 1080p TV. The software algorithm which is used for this pixel upscaling will always reside in memory and will clash with other applications which would make the device slower. Though it can be argued that the Snapdragon 625 has multiple cores it will not function like the x86 cores since ARM architecture is entirely different and the Operating System is different. In a Windows desktop a monitor is an independent entity whereas in a Android device it forms a subset of the device's entity. Moreover, the display of an Android mobile acts not only as an Output device but also as an input device through touching. This would make the device slower in all the applications comparatively.

      The display resolution of Redmi Note 5 is 2160 x
      1080 Pixels. But Snapdragon 625 can only support
      display resolutions upto 1920 x 1200. Think twice
      before you expend your hard earned money.

        AnonD-740791, 27 Feb 2018I have bought redmi note 5 (3gb ram varient). Everything is... moreMany people are complaining of bricking their Mi 5 when they try to update. That's why i haven't even tried it - if there are no serious bugs, you better stay with the preinstalled version.

        Mine is 9.2.3.0 and the box is all in english, so it's the official edition, but i couldn't figure out if only chinese versions forcefully flashed with the global version hav ethis problem or any phone with 9.2.3.0 and earlier versions.

                  Unfortunately display is almost black in portrait mode when used with polarized glasses (For most phones, display gets dim in landscape mode).
                  Anyone having Nillkin 9H protector and polarized glasses to share if the protector fixes this?

                          Gug555, 26 Feb 2018This have more good battery life, price more cheapTake it or leave it. But, please don't argue. You can always get only for what you pay. How can you expect everything from nothing. Xiaomi like companies are reluctant to introduce good devices to the society just because of this nature. If you want more go for Samsung s8, LG V30 or the Mate 10. I don't intend to hurt or insult anyone but facts are always facts and no one can and should deny that. Good Luck.

                                  Hello readers, the
                                  Snapdragon 625 of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 can only support
                                  a display resolution upto 1920 x 1200 pixels at
                                  60fps. But in reality Xiaomi managed the device to support 2160 x 1080 pixels through pixel
                                  upscaling methods which would obviously result in
                                  poor image quality and would consume more
                                  battery. The upscaling algorithm would also
                                  consume a sizeable portion of device's memory,
                                  since it has to reside in the RAM permanently for
                                  the display to function. Moreover, this algorithm would naturally slow
                                  down the processor and GPU which would obviously
                                  result in poor performance of the device in games
                                  and video playback.

                                      KuyaMongGalanteDaw, 25 Feb 2018I was planning to sell my 4x in exchange for this one but I... moreIn that case get note5 Pro version,I've just compared both and 5 Pro is basically 5 Plus
                                      with better back side - full body, no plastic bits
                                      slightly faster cpu/gpu
                                      newer bluetooth
                                      better back camera (2 lenses)

                                      for ~ 20-30e more

                                        I was planning to sell my 4x in exchange for this one but I realized 5 Pro's coming soon. Then I came back here and the spec's also good------now I'm torn between getting this device or to wait for the release of 5 Pro in PH. Well, let's just see first if how much will it cost at Lazada can give my final verdict.
