I don't care what others has said, this phone is the benchmark of affordable smartphone of that time.
It's specs reflect some of the high end things you can find on a high end smartphone such as 5.5" Full HD screen, metal back body, SD650 processor, 4050mah battery.
However, it is just sell for a fraction of price. I did not own them, but had help 5 people owning it and they all praise for the phone performance, something they never experienced at such low price. The updates to MIUI 9 improve the UI fluidity by miles and it is one of the smoothest smartphone around which just cost little compared to those high end.
The only thing now they complain is the aging battery life, which all smartphone suffer after few years, and I suggest a battery replacement will bring new life to it.
As for the storage problem, I think MIUI's Mi Cloud did hide some rubbish into the phone. Probably unsync and logout the Mi Account, then factory reset the phone, install back all the apps you want would restore the space you have long lost. Please don't use the Mi Cloud and your phone would be better. Then, turn off those user experience program, and turn off those ads service, then you got a very good phone at affordable price.
All in all, those phones are still working and are still impressively workable just for any task, despite it is only Android 6.0.1.

    Tejasvi, 24 Oct 2018I am not gonna waste my time to even reply ignorant people ... moreYou can't get the best of both world.
    Here is the updating policy of Xiaomi, they only update Android version on the Mi series and Mix series.
    They only promise one Android version update on Redmi series, the rest of the life time would be MIUI version updates, at least you get almost similar features across the Xiaomi smartphone even the Android version is not updated.
    Now tell me which company even bother to upgrade their lower end series to include their latest UI feature? Google them self? Even Samsung didn't bother to update their own low end series, you get almost zero update from Samsung if it is their low end phone.
    I admit they got their ads service, but it at least can be turn of partially, and only got ads in their own Xiaomi ads, just like any apps you use in Android, Facebook, Instagram, and all the free game you like to play on Android smartphone.
    So, it is the weird logic on you. It is ok to have ads on those free apps as it is forced just to be there, but complain whole bunch when the phone UI itself has ads. You shouldn't use smartphone at all. Go back to the basic phone without any internet connection.
    Then, you praise for it's hardware and cheap price, but never appreciate the MIUI.
    Now tell me where Google the stock Android sell at such low price? Now Xiaomi even offer Android One smartphone at cheap price if you intentionally hate MIUI. Need I say more for a brand that really work hard to sell comparable quality product at low price?
    If you can't afford Oneplus and Google Pixel smartphone, then stop bashing here. Not everyone are fond to stock Android experience. Many people just want a powerful, usable and affordable Android smartphone on normal everyday life usage.
    There is nothing what MIUI can't do, and what stock Android can. There are also not many feature missing as it is just Android 6.0 compare to the latest Android 9.0.
    You can always praising for the latest Android version update, but you won't fully utilize those latest features, as mostly 99% of time you are just using apps, not the feature from the Android itself.

                    skymoon, 22 Oct 2018miui and ads,bugs?? ahahaha you should use touchwiz! xiaomi... moreI am not gonna waste my time to even reply ignorant people like yourself who keep praising the company irrespective of the fact that it doesn't care a shit about you. I'm done with miui,touchwiz and all the other shitty UI's.. I have been using stock android for almost 4 years now. And guess what I'm using android pie on my redmi note 3. Its much more stable, feature packed and smooth when compared to miui. The problem with Xiaomi is they focus all their attention in giving MIUI updates. Its a sheer wastage of manpower and time. It took them so long to implement split screen in marshmallow. Who do they think they are? Google? They could have just given a nougat update and split screen wouldn't have been so buggy as it is now. Anyways Xiaomi makes the best hardware at a competitive cost. Regarding software, i guess not so much. Its probably the slowest. My Mi Max 2 still hasn't gotten Oreo.

                                Redmi is better than samsung in terms of performance Never hanged ever.
                                But samsung is better in build quality , Redmi devices bend, break, crack, scratch, heat easily
                                So performance vs Quality ! Most people need performance in this fast world !
                                Tip: Use the 9.2 Rom than 9.5 or 9.8 or any thereafter. I found the 9.2 as the best simply because it has better everything !
