When Redmi 5 plus update arrive? This phone update is not give update frequently, Why?

someone to help

I have bought my xiaomi phone redmi 5 plus because I heard the model before was good. I have bought it through a company called Xiaomi products in the Netherlands. I have had issues with my phone but they didn't want to fix it because my protection glass was broken due to bad installation of it. now I have a problem with people hearing me on the other side of the phone and they are saying now that that is as well my problem. It's a shame how the companies are such a cheapskates and just like to use people.

Using 4gb ram verient....?

This is the ultimate mobile from Xioami ,because of Note 4 & Note 5 other new models of the brand are not selling.Hence company seems to be degrading these phones now.

How do i install pixel experience 9

Fai

I installed PixelExperience 9 much better than MIUI

Monawwar Alam

Even a small budgets mobiles under 6k are getting pie update but y mi is not Redmi note 5 rather they disgrading there own brand

Fai

Been using this phone for 2 days and I can say i'm happy with this phone. I sell my Oppo F3 to buy this phone and no regret, great phone. Using this for whole day with data connection and playing ML and I only need to charge it once a day, screen is great, size, resolution. I'm happy with the camera, I barely use phone to take photos but I'm happy with the camera even tho the front is only 5mp, you can use flash to make the photo clear in lowlight. The only thing I don't like is the fingerprint scanner placement.

jjzones

That means I'm not the only one. It must be a factory defect. Knock on xiaomi for that. Well, nothing is perfect.

Really we are getting pie update? If yes when??

Using this device with PixelExperience 9.0 Android rom,for about 4 months and all works perfect,including portrait photo mode,slow motion cam,face unlock,SOT is very nice,charging good,sound quality and strength are good,incall volume is also good...And I payed him last year about 135 eur.

Benson

From an old Mi user, Mi 8 Lite is way better, but 5 plus is a little bit faster in performance! now you can get the phone you want tho, but you still can pick up between 5 plus and mi 8 Lite.. (5 plus has more battery life and more like apps life, but mi 8 lite has more rams so can support more stuff at once, that's the only difference between those two) your choice!

scopeman

No get the Note 7 My little brother has a Note 5. It's a great phone, but the Note 7 is greater. Get the Note 5 as a cheaper option for a weaker camera.

Basel

The worst phone ever , don't buy it , the worst WiFi connection

I'm torn between Redmi note 7 or Mi 8 Lite but I read in Redmi Note 7 comments that he/she still prefer 5plus over RN7. Any opinions?

Matt

I had the 32G 3G ram version for over a year now, reset it after 12 months, honestly this phone surprised me, it's battery is great, screen is very nice if the brightness is turn up, the only down side is the camera is like an IPhone 6. It's tough too !

NL-er

Same here... didnt do anything ,just watching youtube and it went to black screen with only MI logo showing... fully drained the battery and fully recharged it .. no difference...

After about a year of owning this smartphone it finally broke yesterday. /data is not readable when i go to setup screen it just stop working, if i try to install a rom on it it says an error about /data and /storage i will not buy xiaomi smartphone again.

that might be because there is a magnetic field around the screen or a charge near an electronic device

Antonis1807

I have the redmi 5 plus for 5 months and after the first 3 months of purchase i noticed a small yellow spot on the top right corner of the screen above the volume buttons where it displays the time. Please let me know if there is any way to fix it or if its better to send it to the warranty dealer for a screen replacement if the screen is the problem. Thanks

Anonymous

From the experience of using 5 Xiaomi models. Major updates were not needed. It's basically some minor changes to its function and appearance. And this might be good if it doesn't affect the performance. But most of the time it will. You will get some bugs and errors too in some cases. You only need to update if your current software version is not working well. And in this case the R5+ is working good from the day i bought it which is still in the latest nougat version

J6 was launched with Oreo that's why it is getting pie update O n the other hand redmi note 5 was launched with naughar and already received Oreo update.

The only thing that make me disapoint was they keep using the same chipset from redmi note 4. But it still good phone for low budget.

If you have water in your phone, take a jar, fill it with rice and put the phone inside for 48 hours (so that the phone is fully covered). Rice should suck all the water.

I also use Samsung SD card 128gb and works fine but when I use PowerAmp for music every few seconds it noticeably skips like nanoseconds pause. Like none stop music changing track.

What do you expect when there's water damage. Try the best to dry it before use. Or you think the phone can swimming?

if you have problem facing in redmi 5 plus OS, try to update or flash it in global stable rom..it might fix your problem

jakeli

Good smartphone for the price. Unlocked bootlader with custom rom on android Pie i hope it will go 2-3 more years at least.

miui

Because Android One is receiving unoptimized updates and when you receive for example android 9 it has many bugs. So that's why MIUI is better!

jameshunter

No..wait for Note 7

Yes, I have this phone for 3 months and no lag what so ever and the battery is good for gaming and also the camera is good but if there are like redmi 6 pro you can buy that too

I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus. I'm experiencing issues where the screen stops responding to touch ( more than thousand times a day...I swear!!) and I have to press the power button twice to fix this. This is very irritating and I am really fed up with this. A lot of people with this model are having the same problem. Xiaomi is aware of this, but it is not providing any solution. The only solution is to throw away this nasty telephone and buy another one....but only not Xiaomi. Until they won't give explanation to solve this problem in their official site, please don't buy this model. About my telephone: Android version-7.1.2 N2G47H, MIUI Global 9.2/stable 9.2.0.2. No updates available! BLYAT SUKA RANDI!

Which is better guys? Redmi 5plus or Mi A2 Lite? they have the same processor and same battery, I really don't mind cameras as long as it could capture decently. I'm more with performance, also which is better MIUI or Android One? tnx

Is xiaomi planning to enable electronic image stabilization through a software update?

Locoronin

Just got the phone, I am quite happy with processor speed and ram, but mainly impressed with battery life. Tbh, you may have the best phone in the market, if battery runs down fast, you don't really get to use it, or you get the worry and hassle to charge it/keep power banks all the time. Nice phone, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good smartphone on a budget price.

After the version update 10.0.4.0, wifi is not getting connected. going to save mode or disabled.

I have Redmi 5 Plus 4 gb of ram. its Quite Good.#1 Smooth Lag free ui.#2 Fingerprint Very First.#3 Camera Averag. When I Upgraded Miui 10.0.4.0 Than I see Something wrong Fingerprint Slow Working& i can't see Face Unlock option. But Sound Quality Really Good Miui 10.[I hope Xiaomi Fixed The Problem]-4.7/5

kier

i updated to MIUI 10 and i notice that the reading of fingerprint is so slow. it was delay to 1 second than MIUI9. and i hate it. it seems its not fast enough. unlocking my phone and taking a picture is delay by 1 second. i hope xiaomi will fix this delay problem in their next update.

This phone is faster than my redmi 5 Pro unfortunately i compared it with my phone I think it's due to some good Optimisation

i bought this phone 2 weeks ago and im very satisfied from his performance!strong baterry midrange camera ir blaster jack for earphones and clear sound quality strong wifi reception!well done hardware and normal price!xiaomi gives you many choises in models and good quality of software i thought!selling them for two years now i am impressed!although after the last update in 10.0.4.0 batery drains quickly and lose some settings!i think that is matter of time to fix all themes!

Hasan

Yes. I have been using my phone in 10.0.4.0 since couple of weeks. It's better than 10.0.2.0 but worse than 9.5. The most important thing is that face lock was available in the version of 10.0.0.0 but it's unavailable at 10.0.4.0.

No. But for a phone this price and specs i forseen it wont last a few years. Why don't you do a master reset

Racy

I owned Redmi 5 plus since Feb 2018. But since last week It no longer work with play store and some apps are ready death. I heard about uncertified device that causes this error. Any one have this problem? Pls share.

Anonymous

Why don't you perform some simple test on the camera on those display units or at least do so before you make payment? Yes the cpu is of older version but don't you know that before you buy? If you already know you are a power user then i doubt any brand or model is capable of sustaining your requirements on the battery. Me too and i am also still looking for that phone.

Anonymous

No not really, I have this phone since start of March and the phone is worse that I thought. The camera is crappy, the proccessor is really old and overall it is not a very good package. Even the battery which is considered as one of its upsides cannot carry me through an all day usage. I would consider myself a power user but this didnt hold up very well

Pelle

This phone is a excellent choice,if you want a phone with a very good camera,very fast reaction on anything you are doing on it,apps,games etc.I would say that this phone are just as good as many very expensive phones,like Galaxy s8 etc.These phones may have lots of apps for camera etc,but what do you really need ?? It's well worth the money,and you will get a lot of things on this phone,that comes on the very expensive phones,so all in all this phone is a very good choice :)

Pelle

Then there has to be something wrong with your phone,the sound is very loud on this phone,maybe you should try to use another sound,and turn the volume up a lot ?

Devioth

Should they release android 9.0 for this smartphone because I have it and it's a good smartphone!

The sound is too low on calls. I always have to use earphones. It was not like this before. Is there any fix to this?

I got this phone in July. I guess I'm one of these unlucky ones with this phone. There was nothing wrong until middle of August; then I noticed screen lift on the right side. This messes up playing games and typing. Also there's heating problem lately, I guess it's because of an app (I haven't figured it out) Overall this phone is beautiful; it's smooth for regular use. I'm thinking of buying a new phone, specifically Mi A2 Lite. Would it be good replacement for Redmi 5 Plus?

Can you tell me which is better for gaming, Redmi note 5 pro or Redmi note 5(Redmi 5 plus)? reply please!!!

Of course. As the name suggests. We never assume they are the same

Have in mind that according to Xiaomi's site, Note 5 and 5 Plus are different phones. For example, the former has a dual back camera while the latter just one. Check their specs:

Good spec but sadly, I can't play most games (like Asphalt 8 and 9) on High settings (which stuttering very badly and un-smooth graphics). I don't know why (the AnTuTu scores is 75000+, very bad).

I am on MIUI 10 10.0.2.0 stable version and updated to Oreo. Issue: While kept on charge, the connection frequently breaks and reconnects again. Will this affect the battery charge cycle or battery life. It's kinda irritating and was not a case before updating to MIUI 10. Does anyone have information if the bug free update would roll out soon? Thanks.

Redmi 5+ has Snapdragon 625, single camera and better display. Redmi Note 5 Al Dual Camera has better chipset - Snapdragon 636, better cameras (rear dual cam) and darker display.

You may try switching between the SIM ports. Do a master reset or change to a new SIM card. You may also switch on/off the airplane mode to avoid doing the phone restart. If you got this after the new MIUI 10 updates then the only thing you can do is wait

Great specifications: - it's faster - long battery life (3-4 days) POOR QUALITY: - SAR values are huge. - the display broke at first 60 cms fall - the cover protection from the box doesn't provide a good protection. It is too flexible and instead to protect the edge it moves back

Yes. The battery feels to be draining faster than before.

What do you mean with that? In Medium it gives you 16fps on average, or do you mean it takes 16 - your average fps, which is???

Usual Review Guy

When I play pubg with medium graphics (This phone just gave me low and medium graphics in the setting)..it lags about 16fps but playable..So I just play with low setting without any problem and no lag issue at all..But there is no high or ultra settings so I can't tell how the performance with that graphics..

Well I don't use it on nougat but I can tell you Oreo is great and even if you don't care about the camera I will tell y2 is better than note 5. Or if you don't love y2 go for the redmi 5plus.

I'm using pubg gfx tools by some XDA developer. With that HDR+ is available.

I'm using 5+ for a month and man for the price it's really worth it. Moving from one apps to another when you have more than 5 open is super easy but sometimes it take time to move but it's not often. The battery is good I mean I love play game and I play games like darkness rises and pubg (with hd seetings) and I can make 2 or 3 party and back home with my phone not even at 25%. About camera and video in journey they are decent for a 160€ phone you can make nice pics with it but in low light is not that good but still decent same for the video on 4K , stabilisation is good. So for me if you want move for this phone is really worth it for the price.

There is no official date right now but I hope it'll be before 2019

Redmi 5 has hd + display which has 223ppi whc consumes less battery but redmi 5plus had fhd+ display which has403ppi which consumes more battery Which one you want - hd+ or fhd+ ??

Redmi Note 5 got snapdragon 636 not the 625, you can check that on their official site

I think you mean to say Note 5 Pro. Go for Note 5 Pro as it has more advance processor. Hence better for the gamers. Battery life on Mi Phones is amazing hence I dont feel you will need a powerbank unless you travel for 2-3 days at a stretch without charging your phone. Nova 3 is more expensive than Note 5 Pro, even if I consider Note 5 Pro 6GB variant, its much economical then Nova 3. Go for Note 5 Pro for better camera & performance.

Leon

What about the note 5 plus would you advice me to buy

Anonymous

u advice personally best for me to because...personally I play games and I don't want to have power bank with me all the time, again how is the speed in regards to opening one application while u have more than 5 application running still...how is the camera and the video performance last and not list is it a first charger how how long don't s take to fully charge ?.. Is it worth changing coming from infinix note 4pro which I'm using currently please help a bro here

Ok. But the camera cant beat iphone. I was using iphone 5 before and the camera way better than this. AND the reason i changed to xiaomi is because i prefer phone for gaming. For selfie, no 😊

Tovar

Okay, Thank I think redmi note will be better then

Appy Singh

If you are looking for good camera in same budget, Go for Redmi Y2 or if you can increase your budget, nothing like Redmi Note 5 Pro / Mi A2. Performance wise Redmi Note 5 is better but Y2 has better wide angle selfie which is missing on Redmi Note 5

Tovar

Hello please am about to buy this device I want to know if there's any different with the camera after miui 10 update

There is about 1-2 hours of SOT difference depend usage.

Redmi note 5 battery - 4000mah Redmi 5 battery - 3300mah but Redmi note 5 battery standby time - 17 days Redmi 5 battery standby time - 31 days. Which is better? 4000mah or 31 days.

If i were you go for note 5 because price difference is small

how about the chipsets they're using? I was thinking of going for Redmi5 however Redmi Note 5 looks promising and also can upgrade to android Oreo

Anonymous

Redmi 5 only have 3/32gb Redmi Note 5 have 4/64gb If you compare both with 3/32 gb not much difference

Sen

Comparing Redmi5 and Redmi note5, which is better compare to the usage, performance and battery life when gaming(offline). I'm looking for cheaper but has superb usage. I don't care about the cameras since I don't pictures that much. i'm also seeing that the redmi5 is not upgradable to android oreo.

after update miui 9.6.5 i got problem charging stuck at 97% .... any solution to solve? but it does not affect daily usage .. battery still long lasting

User

I bought Redmi Note 5 3GB, 32GB version few months ago. Then I realised I should have bought the Note 5 Pro 4GB, 64GB version instead! Better processor, more RAM, and headphone jack is at the bottom! Since I installed a lot of apps on the Note 5 and used Second space too, the phone is laggy sometimes. And whenever I fast forward a youtube video, it will pause for 2-3 seconds to load. This is quite bad, compared to my back-up phone iPhone 6 which shows no pause when fast forward youtube video! Overall, the Note 5 is still a decent phone with great battery, lots of features (second space, dual app, dual screen, etc.), decent camera (especially the 9.6.5.0 version changes the camera UI to be better, much easier to switch from taking photos to taking videos!). 9.6.50 also brings Face unlock feature which is kind of fun! Maybe next time when I upgrade I will choose a Note 5 Pro successor instead!

About the same , i upgraded it to oreo and its really good experience.

For 151 euro that i got it its a great phone , you get so much phone for just 150 euro , if you are on a tight budget i would 100% recommend.I just upgraded it to android oreo with the last patch and it works amaizing . The 3gb ram option that i have is really good, i would say not to upgrade to the 4gb ram since it really is not that much of a difference (you will get 64gb rom but you can just buy an sd card for really cheap these days)i mean if you have that extra money its your choise after all , as i said i got the 3gb ram option and its perfect.Besides the specs the build quality is really good , but i would say that the phone is a bit slippery but you get a case with it so its ok.Overrall its a good phone and a great one considering its valiue.

Hello.. I hope some of you guys can help me. Im very dissapointed on my redmi 5 plus nowadays. Ok first of all. I bought this phone on May 17, 2018, got it on May 19, 2018. So its been 3 months on since i bought this. Now my concern is, everytime i play PUBG mobile, there are times that its unresponsive, like i cant literally control my character AT ALL. So i always lock the screen then go back to the game again, but its still unresponsive for like 5 seconds or more. Then its fine again till it happened again sometime. Even on the other app or games, its still occuring. Anyone have the same problem as mine? Hope u guys can help me. ;(

Outdoor, camera is pretty good. Indoor, suffers a lot because of small lens. As a matter of fact, you lie, a lot. Greetings.

DrStrange

For its price I wouldn't complain even if the camera is bad and god knows what about the screen glass quality (they never mentioned what gorilla glass version they used but for a cheap xiaomi phone it could be either v1 or v2) but $180 for a snapdragon 625 phone equipped with a massive 4000mAh Li-Po battery and 6-inch 2160p display is a very good deal.

I installed Global Beta ROM on this one. I like the UI, Camera seems it stops sometimes while switching mode. Couldnt find the Bokeh mode as of now as promised by Xiaomi. Overall a good change, specially the tomes, notifications & overall look. Only thing one needs to make sure is back up data before going to any Beta ROM as it does erase your data on the internal storage of the phone

Redmi 5 Plus SOT - 31 July 2018 Description:- First of all I am using MIUI-10 Official built with no customization and no root, its all original. During this SOT 5 hour of calling (call recorder always on) while Bluetooth headset was connected during call only and wifi permanently on, mostly I do call, whatsapp, camera, insta, browsing and youtubing, wifi location is always on, dual sim always on , during this SOT data or 4G internet was off only wifi always on, all type of touch and type vibrations are always on, brightness was always on automatic mode , rotation sometimes on and sometimes off, ringtone is always on with vibration on call, I mostly receive from 15 to 25 calls daily with a lot of texting. I am also very much into software’s (no gaming) and have nearly 38 software’s installed on my default miui10 rom.thr is also a battery eating software that is called flashon-call.. it keeps on flashing front and back torch lights while call is coming as a visual notifier. Well thr is so many more to state but I guess that’s enough now i am writing the images stats down..... 1- Mobile UP Time = 40hr 40min 45sec 2- Screen On Time = 08hr 44min 14sec 3- Remaining Batt = 5%

Guys i really need your suggestion here, I was going to buy a new phone and i have a samsung brand and want to replace it. Right now i am eyeing for this Zenfone Max pro way back from the first time it releases. Although that 6gb Ram and 64 gb of rom is a very hard to find in the physical and online store on my country or i was not looking hard enough. Despite of its massive battery of 5000 mah. i do also checked the performance of its camera, and it is not quite what i expected... Right now I am checking for other brands of phones that has that same performance that the Zenfone Max Pro has with, a battery lifespan but atleast with decent performance of camera. This one's comes in mind and what do you think of this phone. Zenfone Max Pro (6gb Ram, 64gb Rom) - hard to find item in my country Redmi Note 5 Pro - also hard to find item in my country Redmi Note 5 (Redmi 5 plus) Mi A2 Lite (Redmi 6 Pro) If you have something in mind that i do not know, please free to share that information thanks in advance

Here is my review, I've been using the phone since February, its awesome overall but i had problems with the mic and the camera at night. The mic can catch sound when youre near the device ( if you use it to record a conversation, i won't recommend it). The camera is okay, but the quality of the photo is not as good as it would be in the morning. BUT, The camera is superb in the morning, for playing mobile games, i downloaded a lot of games, the battery doesnt heat after i played around 1-2 hrs. and it doesnt lagg. Im super impressed with the mobile functions, everything i needed is in the phone.

I used to be redmi die hard fans , their high cp value always attracted me (pay less for higher spec), but xiaomi and snap dragon really disappointed me too much. I used to had a redmi note 3 (snap dragon 650) last few month , and then it gps became not working (only 10% success rate to get connected ) and i thought is my phone faulty so i changed to asus zenfone 4 max pro (snapdragon 425), i straight away notice that it still same problem on the fresh new set , gps not working (telco is umobile malaysia), this time i suspect is telco problem , i tried change other telco(maxis), still the same . used for 1 week i decided to change to another new phone , redmi 5 plus (note 5), gps is really crucial for my works , i am grab car driver . but who know . what the heck, it end up still the same , fresh unit with gps not working!! trust me , i really tried thousand way to solve it like download agps app , airplane mode etc , all rubbish which not working. this time not only the gps not working , the call history also got problem (it will hang and wait about 30 sec to display the caller history and saved contact ) I gave up , i fed up so much with snap dragon, the dream about usa chipset quality is better become broken. this time i bought huawei with own processor kirin 960(honor 8pro ) , first day tested , all perfect awesome, gps connected in 5 sec ,tried longer for 1 week , speedy and responsive , no regret to prove that , i bought another low end samsung which using own exynos processor for my spare phone , also working perfectly! what a bloody hell experience, i wont believe usa chip is better anymore , snapdragon and qualcom product will be permanent banned in my life , do you guys encounter same problem here ? the gps not working and call history contact lag and delayed display(10-15s)

Xiaomi seems to give updates for a long time, however its for its MIUI not for android, indeed it sends updates, however not the same as Nokia, since almost all Nokia devices are android one, meaning they will get pretty fast updates for around 2 years after they are launch, don't discard Xiaomi yet, since even if they don't update the Android version as fast as Nokia they give you way better stuff for you money, a $180 device from Xiaomi will cost around with the same specs as a Nokia device that cost around $50 more.

I am currently using Samsung Galaxy J2 2015. as my mobile is outdated with almost three years of usage, i am willing to buy a new Android mobile. before using Samsung I used a Micromax Android mobile from 2012 to 2015. I chosen Micromax Android mobile for it's low price and good offerings at that time. after that I chosen Samsung Galaxy J2 because I thought that I will get a new Android version through software update but I never got that on this mobile. bought that mobile with android version 5.1.1 and will ending the usage with the same android version 5.1.1. so now I want to borrow a new Android mobile which will give new Android version through software update. I heard that Xiaomi and Nokia both provides new Android version through software update. so I am willing to buy one phone from one of this 2 companies. now I want to know which company will be best and which android mobile will be best for my full filling my willingness. thank you in advance for helping me.

You need hardware calibration for the screen freeze issue

i have been using using this mobile since january. i encountered these problems when i updated to their latest updated versions. lately battery consumption is becoming bad. touch screen sometimes not responding. im not an average user. i dont use it for calls or text since day one. i game a lot, heavy graphic-intensive games and watch a lot of youtube. and i can tell that after their updates the performance declined. i dont use the unit when charging, doesnt let the battery overcharge or let it go down to 20%, so the battery is fine. if you read the forums in xiaomi page you will see that its not just 2 or 3 users that are having these problems. i know. im a frequent user of their forums.

nut

i work just fine in the first month i bought it...but now my screen started to lose control. I can see the screen showing the image, but I can't make any touches on the device and it won't respond, and the only way to fix this is by locking the screen and unlocking it again. And it won't permanently solve the problem as well. It still occurs randomly between uses.and I can't control it until I lock the screen and unlock it again. And I've tried disassembled it and reconnecting the screen ribbon cable and it still occurs.

BeroNacci

Lol of course not, also it's about what is your favourite games. If you need a phone for high end games like Fortnite, mobile legends, etc.... Your minimum for smooth experience will be OnePlus 5 or mi 6 or every phone have snapdragon 810 or higher.

No issues. Battery life seems the same (like in 9.5.12.0) but ram managment is better now. In 9.5.12.0 was about 1.4,1.5gb free, now is 1.8,1.9gb (in 3/32gb version 5 Plus).

Do not get persuaded by the bigger battery of 4x, it drains faster and has heating issue, too. Do not advice unless you have used the phone yourself.

Is the V9.5.12.0 update for Redmi 5 Plus based on Nougat or Oreo

Web

hey guys will this receive an oreo update? im choosing this over the note5 because of cheaper price

ItsMeivan

I updated mine (V 9.5.12.0), so far it isn't giving me any problem . it solved some bugs that it had in the older versions.

ItsMeivan

I'm using a tempered glass that pretty much cover the entire front of the screen . It hasn't given me any problems .

anonymous

Thanks, are you using a tempered glass that fits corner to corner with cut outs or the tempered glass thats slightly smaller? and the phone cover doesn't interfere with the glass on the edges? Thanks again

ItsMeivan

The silicon case from behind is the same height as the camera bump , and from front it's abit higher , i have a screen protector on mine and it's perfect for it . it protects it from scratches and i think even like half a meter drop , but if you want better protection buy another case . 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 .

Anonymous

Hi everyone, I bought this phone yesterday. So far it's OK. It shows new updates to install.... Should I install them or do they ruin the performance?? Please advice and thanks to yo all!

anonymous

does the silicon case provided with the phone provide enough protection for the camera and screen; Is it slightly raised so either glass on screen or camera will be protected from daily use? 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.

ItsMeivan

since 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 .

ItsMeivan

i use the standard charger that came with the phone .

ItsMeivan

i 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.

OK and thank you. I am eagerly waiting to buy a redmi mobile. will buy this or the note 5 pro version very soon.

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

ItsMeivan

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 .

ItsMeivan

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 .

For those who have been using this device for a few months now, how would you rate your experience with the device? (- Hows the overall condition holding up against daily use? - any issues that appeared over time? - how good is the screen and camera glass, easily scratched or not?)

I am thinking of buying this phone. How is the phone handling games and multitasking? Also how's the camera (because I like to take pictures with my phone)?

DigN4Bones

One thing I can tell you, is that my advice is to avoid the Sony Xperia XA1-Ultra. I loved mine at first, but after about 2 or 3 months it began taking longer and longer to charge, and having less and less battery life. By 6 months it would no longer charge at all. The end of the charger will not keep contact with the internal battery, and Sony is not selling replacement batteries. Looking back at newer and updated reviews, I am seeing many others reporting the same problem. Hope that helps.

Mi a1 has a better camera than the 5 plus and the same internal specifications. Hope I helped you.

the.one

hello this phone handles those jobs you need perfectly, you wont have any problem, but its wiser to go for redmi note 5 ai, you only pay a little extra, for better camera and better soc, the difference is only 30$ and it worth it US has many telecom companies and they use different bands for their services, so you have to check your telecom to see what bands they are on, and check with the phones supported bands,

i like ths phone than my s7 edge 32 gb. price more cheap. battery very good. can survive a day or more. with fast charging feature. performance ok. can play pubg so its ok for me. memory 64 gb. its enough for me. with game installed more than 5. i added 32 gb memory card for image and video. internal memory still have 40++ gb. but the best is the price. compare to the s7 edge. more than 50% cheaper. only lack is camera. but for gamer its ok. rarely use camera.

Xiaomi needs to launch a updated version with dual camera and at least sd630 to keep up with the competition. It's not a good deal anymore.

go to miui download page and download the full rom, move the zip file to your phone storage then from setting/about phone/system update tap on choose update package then tell the phone the path to the file you saved, it should update your phone

when you try to connect with your car, does it ask if its phone or media device? if yes, connect with media, go to setting/bluetooth remove all paired devices and make a new connection with your car then under the paired devices list, click the arrow next to your car's name, check if phone audio and media audio are enabled (they have to be) this is based on my previous experience, my current car has no bluetooth cant test the options

Hi, I have a problem with bluetooth connection. I have connected phone MI 5 Plus with my toyota yaris car. I can hear the ring, when somebody calls me, but I can't hear the person. I went to Toyota service today. There we have connected another phone to my car and made a call to its number. The connection was excellent. The lady there told me that I can leave a car for diagnosis. She also told me that their client had similar problem with his phone (other than mi). He contacted the company and they sent an update to his phone and solved the problem. How could I solve my problem, as it is important for me to have connected my phone to my car. Thanks, Elina

If you consider the looks and display then go for redmi 5 plus except that everything is better in mi a1 camera software sound.

Yesterday night i bought Redmi 5 Plus 4GB RAM and 64GB storage fast charging and long battery backup, i am happy with Redmi 5 Plus but disappointed with Rear and Front camera it's look like VGA or lowest quality cam. and i think this is not 4GB RAM smartphone because it's slow like 2GB Ram device. i would recommend for low budget seekers only Gamers & Heavy users stay away from this device.

Interesting feedback, so the change of region affects the rom characteristics but hardware, bandwidths all remain unchanged. I see many are complaining about the battery on the last update (and not to update), so say for example if one does not install the update, can one upgrade to oreo directly once released or must each update be installed before oreo? Speaking of oreo, any news if this device will support Project Treble? Thanks again :)

People say miui 9.5.4.0 has bug and reduce battery performance a lot. Is it true?

you welcome 😉 you are somehow right, doesn't matter where you buy or live, if you are on global rom you will get the same update, BUT, the arrival of update time is different from a region to region, beside that, some regions get some exclusive content from the same rom, for example, in my region I don't get wallpaper carousal, but if I change my region to India it appears, some other apps too, without downloading anything, those apps are already on the phone but will be hidden if the region is changed.

Just for info. In my country (Indonesia) the Redmi 5 plus is different from Redmi Note 5. The Redmi Note 5 is using Snapdragon 636 (14 nm) and have dual camera on its back, while the Redmi 5 Plus using Snapdragon 625 (14nm) and have only single camera on its back. You can see it on mi store indonesia.

Battle Hero

My advise to all Xiaomi phone user doesnt matter what model, never ever update your phone except for OS version upgrades. This MIUI updates will ruins your phone potential, before update your phone battery can last for 2 or 3 day after it will last for 1 and the half, this happen because MIUI updates always come with bugs and the bugs wont go away even you do factory reset. I used Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 for 2 years, at first the battery can last for 2 or 3 day after update now it can last for 1 day only. I really regret updating my phone so if U want to use Xiaomi phone and want to keep it potential the best is not update when the update appear.

Battle Hero

Agreed. Hello GSMArena I think U should fix the name of this phone, it should be Redmi 5 Plus (Redmi Note 5 India) because at the global market beside India this phone is known as Redmi 5 Plus not Redmi Note 5. Redmi Note 5 for global market is Redmi Note 5 China/AI its do have a similar specs with Redmi Note 5 Pro but with minor differences on camera specs and OS versions.

hello 1- I have lots of online shopping experience, almost on any site, but aliexpress is my favorite, i trust them more than amazon, everything is clear, i buy with my credit card, any problem they will solve it, they wont pay your money to the seller, until you are satisfied. Idk how long it will take to Albania, usually between 15-25 days 2- currently there is no phone can compete with this one, when you think of value for money this phone is the best. everything perfect, just the camera is not that much amazing 3- it depends on your usage, what is your current phone's storage? for me 32/3 is enough for my daily usage, some people do play games or want to save lots of music so they need 64gb, price difference is not much, 180$ for 64/4 is good investment, you wont regret buying this phone

Leenuch

Order from AliExpress takes only 2 weeks to get the phone. Great phone with reasonable price. 4/64 is recommended.

What sort of games? Graphic intensive?

Been using this phone for 4 weeks now: Pros: good gaming experience due to big screen (18:9) fast finger print sensor (the moment i place my finger there, phone unlock immediately) can enable swipe gestures and remove soft keys (full screen without buttons below) can enable dual app (duplicate the same app in another separate data) battery last long (stream drama up to 8hrs used up less than 50% battery) front flash selfie light Cons: mostly videos not 18:9 supported ( will have extra black screen at the sides) Camera is bad, most of the pictures i took are blur even tho it is clear in the screen these are what i can think of at the moment..

Yes it can play Rules Of Survival, you can play it in High settings, you can even play it in Excellent settings but its a bit laggy and can bother you while playing ROS because you will be having trouble aiming with that laggy thing so I would recommend High settings. If you play other games other than ROS in this phone, trust me you will enjoy it. There's no lag issues. Definitely recommend it for budget gaming phone especially when it comes with 4000mAh battery that can last up to 9hours of intense gaming. If you just use it for daily use I mean you're not a heavy user, it can last for a long time.

Which phone is better in overall performence Redmi 5 plus or huawei Y9 (2018) ?

L0shmi

I have this phone for couple of weeks. I am thrilled with battery usage. Fingerprint works as a charm, unlocks phone in a ms. Very good screen and nice aluminium body reminds me at iPhone 6 Very fast an fluid system, I haven't experienced any lags or bugs even I have installed tens of apps and this is one of priority to me. Things that could be better: Charging battery could be faster. If you choose to use phone without buttons - back swipe should work batter.This is why I choose to go back with buttons. Camera is better in premium models. Still it's definitely good enough. Overall very stable phone with premium design lot of features, very custamazible For 165$ definitely must have, I don't see any competition near it.

shak33l3

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.

Hi im deciding between redmi 5 plus and mi a1.First can i ask is there alot of letteboxing issue with the screen like for example some app dont support the 18:9 so it show black bar will appear.im a guy who like to play mobile game and watch video.i also prioritize support from dev.

Harish

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 purchased this phone just 2 days earlier. Previously i was using Mate 10 lite. I just wanted to share with all of you that this is one of the best phones i have ever used. It is far better than Mate 10 lite. Battery timing is excellent and can be used for 2 days on wifi and data. Camera is much better than Mate 10 lite. I liked it. Charging time is not much faster as it take 2 hours to get full charged with 2V normal charger. I will try 3V charger to test faster charging.

specs are the same with redmi 4 prime

AnonD-749804

So, no more Redmi Notes eh? The Redmi 5 Plus should clearly have been the Note 5, a successor of the Redmi Note 4, but Xiaomi wanted a fresh start. The fifth generation is trying to shake things up and the new look obviously called for a new name. So, Xiaomi retired the Note brand promoting the Plus from a mere qualifier to a proper name. The phablet lives on regardless, and goes all-in with a wide 6" screen.

AnonD-749293

This phone is really amazing. I normally would go for high end phone, but due to low usage, I decided to switch to a simple phone. Lo and behold, this phone is greater than I think. 1) The 18:9 5.99inch screen is beautiful, color is accurate. The last Android I used was Samsung S8, the screen tends to be slightly contrasty and vivid. Redmi 5 screen however is comfortable for viewing. 2) Battery is a must-mention. I am not worried of low battery anymore. Watching video and lots of reading takes me about 20-40% only. 3) Loud speaker. Good for music 4) Xiaomi theme makes customization easy. No need for Nova Launcher anymore. 5) the Iphone X effect. I love it without the navigation button on screen, I use the Full screen display. 6) Camera is not as bad as many mentioned. Still usable for me, You can try to install Open Camera for better picture quality. 7) Fingerprint to unlock, blazing fast and sensitive. This is definitely a steal. You won't regret.

front camera will slightly disappoint you, otherwise rear one is ip to the mark. if you're planning to buy a phone under 10k then must go for this, otherwise if you can afford a little more then must go for note 5pro, if you want better camera, otherwise it's the best one.

AnonD-14481

I am in love with this phone. Really superb. Amazing phone. I chose this mobile because of my budget constraints. I thought this mobile maybe an average one with low specs because of the cheap price but I was wrong and Iam amazed after using it for 1month. I chose the option of 'increased contrast' in display settings and, my God! the colours have high contrast that the colours sometimes seem like that of amoled especially while playing high end HD games. The blacks are deep. I wouldn't expect this kind of quality screen even at double the price. Really even at such a cheap price, the display is just amazing. PLUS the screen is so sharp and crisp, really I fell in love with the screen. The processor is also very powerful. I played some high end graphics games on this phone and the gameplay is so fluid. Really a capable CPU and GPU. Beautiful performance. And the battery capacity is such a add to this already amazing phone. The screen to body ratio of this phone is higher than that of Galaxy A8 Plus which costs 3 times of this phone and even the weight is low compared to Galaxy A8 Plus although Mi Note 5 features a bigger battery. The speech to text feature of this phone works great with Indian accent. I have used many phones before but all of them at the most had only 60 to 70% accuracy in voice recognition but this phone is above 90% in voice recognition and I have forgotten to type after getting this phone. Amazing. 4G and volte is working great on this phone with my jio Sim and the cellular reception is just great. The camera clicks decent images, and IR blaster is really cool and very useful. And all this I am getting at a price for which I cannot imagine to buy even a basic phone of Samsung. Thanks to XIOMI for making such a great phone. Having great time with this phone.

Color shifting is indeed minimal, but it easily gets darker even on minimal angle. But I agree, for the money quality is more than adequate. I only wish they didn't mess the polarization that way.

you are right, the differences are not that obvious, the processor of redmi 5 got great number in benchmarks too. being a bit smaller and 23g lighter is not bad trade for that small performance difference.

definitely redmi 5 plus, the L1 is very low spec phone, you cant compare that entry level mobile with this phone, that phone has very bad processor, with battery life half this phone.

redmi 5 plus , its a excellent phone for listen music , even in the pass i use 8 gb ram sony m4 , int the past I am suprise the speed is fast when i m a musician student that listen music, the only problem of this phoneis easy to corrupt, other than that just go for it, its worth to buy this phone .

definitely note 5 plus better than a1 ... better battery and display...the dual cameras on a1 is not that gud

Neria Gs

Its about preference, not much differences to be honest, but id go with the Redmi 5 plus just because of the form factor. Much more sleek. In terms of performance, it would be . about the same. Features like the dual camera on the MI A1 dont work that well.. so no big trade off.

AnonD-747068

I just got it few days ago and Im impressed by its battery. 12-13hrs OST from 100-1%. This included more demanding games and camera test, the whole experience. my main phone galaxy alpha does 5hrs OST In better scenarios, otherwise 3-4hr if gaming. Speaking of, Alpha has 720p screen and something like xrally killed it, stutter and low fps idk looked like 5-10fps, while on this snapdragon 625 it ran great at much higher resolution, even at high settings. Camera is good too, galaxy alpha had one of better back in the days, still has sometimes, but this one seems even more defined and clear. Size well, imo tiny bit too much.. if it were ~150mm max it would be perfect. Gui is great too, very tweakable, was pleasantly surprised there.. I now have a mix of S8 ui + default ios imitation.. looks like a perfect combo :D Desing is ok too, shame they skipped on those ends.. would be nicer full aluminium body. Imo well worth its money.

Thank you very much for your reply and your help my dear friend. The only reason I'm also interested in Redmi 5 is because it is a smaller phone and I prefer smaller phones, i know it doesn't have the same processor and the screen not full hd with lower resolution but in person the difference isn't super obvious (at least for me that I'm not a super user in phones :p). I also like Note 4x sigh.. picking a phone is very complicated nowadays. Thanks again friend!!!

among your 3 candidates, if you read the new detailed review of mate 10 lite here on gsmarena, you will know how bad performance it has, that review has a hidden message which is almost too obvious "DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE" for redmi 5 plus, cant find any bad review, i bought 3 of this phone, because its 1 fukin unbelievable phone, excellent in all aspects for this price range, im not a photographer, i use camera very rarely, but i found it takes very good detailed photo, but you better compare cameras with compare tools which available on this site, in other parts redmi 5 plus is a true winner, very sharp and bright screen, excellent battery life, decent processor... this phone has one of the best speakers, extremely loud and clear, don't know where you heard otherwise, even the review on this site clearly mention how good it is. the redmi 5 is its little brother which has no advantage over + version.

Yep phone is good but 3gb RAM version is more vfm and by the way more free ram is always not better miui is heavy it just caches your apps for later access...

Hi I am from India and I am using this phone for the last one week and I am more than happy & very much impressed with this Masterpiece. Being low priced, I thought that the quality maybe low but I was plesantly surprised to find everything is just good quality - be it the build quality, the screen etc. I was using Lenovo Vibe P1 and I must say the looks of this phone is Miles ahead of my previous phone. The bezels are really very narrow around and in fact this phone is of the same size of my last phone which had 5.5 inch screen. When I first saw Galaxy S8 I was blown away by the looks but this phone resembles S8 very much and I must say I am really blown away by the looks of this phone really a great phone for a great price. But I advice to go for the 4 GB variant as MIUI is very heavyweight and consuming nearly 2 GB of the 3 GB of RAM. My last phone which had only 2 GB ram, I used to get around 1.2GB of free ram on this phone I am getting only around 1.2 - 1.3 GB of RAM when idle. There are 3gb phones I have seen which get 1.8 free RAM when idle and this is really bothering me.
