Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera - User Reviews

  • Yes! To all your questions.

  • miui 11.0.3 update is now availiable

  • eMMC 5.0

  • Was this phone still worth on this year ? I only play light games, spend a lot of time on social media, stream Youtube videos . And does it support MIUI 11 ? I'll someone would reply . Thank you !

  • what do you think about miui 10.3.2.0 PEIMIXM, does it have the same problem as Miui 10.3.1.0?

  • Yaaa me too, my phone is set to dark mode and set the turn off light screen to 30 seconds to make phone stay turn on for long time, to reduce a burn ini. Many people says IPS not burn in, but i had on my phone, and it's real.

  • Is anyone having major issue with the video camera? It is way too dark to capture video at night. I am using Malaysian set Redmi Note 5 AI with 10.3.2.0 PEIMIXM

  • UFS or eMMC storage?

  • Bought because I dropped my Redmi 4X in water and the Australian GST was about to kick in. Dropped out of my pocket while seated and cracked the screen a couple of days after receiving. However the cracking was relatively minor and I kept using the phone. The LED is a nicer colour compared to the 4X. The camera shoots good video thanks to the stabilisation, and pictured thanks to the dual rear cameras. The size and screen ratio is very popular however ultimately I found the lighter and smaller 16:9 4X a better phone for me to use. Not a fan of the on-screen software 3 main buttons, ironically the smaller 16:9 4X with hardware buttons below the screen displayed video slightly smaller than the 18:9 Note 5. The hardware is decent although the performance seems similar to the 4X (I don't play 3D games). This has a good enough CPU to run google camera but I haven't bothered trying to install it yet. Needless to say Xiaomi pack in a lot of hardware for the money and we get to play around with "mid range" features and laugh at the people who insist on selling out a grand everytime they buy a phone.

  • Bro i have this phone for like year and a half and i can say that this screen is cheap and has burn in effect

  • I noticed slowing down only when comparing miui 9 to 10, no slowing down between individual miui 10 updates. Try changing animation scales (3 different scales) from 1.0x to 0.5x under developer options.

  • My phone is currently on 10.3.1.0 OEIMIXM version. It's feeling like the functions have slowed a bit. Would you recommend to update to 10.3.2.0 PEIMIXM ??

  • A little

  • does the 10.3.2.0 PEIMIXM update have battery drain issue??

  • I had the same issue but it was resolved by using the display with very low brightness for 2 days...

  • yes, any white text/background which stays minutes in my screen stays there for several hours

  • Just a rumor, it wont burn because its not an AMOLED screen.. it speaks more than it's price.

  • Heard lots of complaint of burnt lcd and ghost image due to cheap lcd.

  • xiaomi redmi note 5 mhl?

  • I am also using this device from June 2018 No any issues still now No any battery drainage issues and running pie Smoothly Overa all better build quality and camera beast Mobile worth the price

  • Mine is Pie at 10.3.1 stable (PEIMIXM)

  • I have been using it since October 2018. I didn't have any issues with the phone. I had my display replaced by them then the problem started. It's not only cellular data but over wifi connection also.

  • I think it's your network issues and not the phone... I've been using note 5 since December 2018 and I have no issues with it

  • Have anyone of you faced sound issue while talking? I have to speak louder for the other party to hear while talking. But its works okay while using loud speaker or earphone...

  • Yes

  • What camera app you recommend for more photo / video options (like: resolutions, specifications, etc...)?

  • Really?

  • It depends on what you prefer. You will definitely see less battery life on miui 10...

  • Guys don't make fun out of me I am still running 9.5.19 Do u recommend me to update to 10.3.3 Or to stay on my current ROM I have a decent SOT But with a laggy fullscreen gesture animations Thanks

  • Why are you guys having pie update? My latest update Miui 10.3.1 OIEMIXM stable only has oreo.

  • Yes it's the same. Only differences are the cameras.

  • You don't give prices?Where is the price?Please give us at least discontinued price of mobiles.

  • Hello. I just updated note 5 ai to global beta 9.6.27. During my use there is no battery drain issue. Pubg is also smooth (I use gfx tools set it to balanced ultra fps).

  • I think u need to install manually...i don't receive any updates either and i heard 10.3.2 has battery drain issue..will wait for another update..

  • Has the update 10.3.2.0 been released in Malaysia? It's been a while since my ai has been updated , last one was the pie... I'm still waiting for this update, they screwed up the battery drain and pubg mobile lagging on low settings, stuttering/ CPU throttling lagging in high temperature due to the pie update.they need to fix this.

  • This phone can be upgraded to MIUI 10 and Stable Android Pie.

  • No i do not have any issues at all that's why i am really surprised. I was prepared to face issues because of the comments posted. But my phone is blazing fast now and gets 2 day battery with medium usage.. Before i upgraded though i reset my phone to its original state wiping everything then i updated its Miui version. Maybe that's what helped me.

  • Still I'm lovin' it.

  • is the battery model of redmi note 5 ai the same as redmi note 5 pro? i plan to replace the battery of my phone

  • Yup I have done that and battery life still the same...

  • Go to your settings and put off wifi and bluetooth scanning, you will see good changes in your battery life.

  • I have battery bug issue

  • New update 10.3.2.0 is available.. 505 mb..

  • Your not having battery issues and lte connection problem..…?

  • The lastest version upgrade 10.3.1 Oreo stable is amazingly good.Took away the device freezing issue i had and overall improves the phone's performance. I never thought that this would be a good update since you all said that the patch was terrible, but mine was awesome. I will stick to this version until there's a massive stable and reliable upgrade for redmi note 5.

  • Been using the phone for 7 months bought the phone here in CEBU SM No issues for now Battery life is still good Planning to upgrade don't know what phone yet ^_^

  • Now you can buy redmi note 7 at a same price 😢

  • Mi A2*

  • If you want better Chipset (CPU + GPU) and little bit better camera then go for Mi A3... Otherwise Rrdmi Note 5 AI is all rounder without any compromises... In short, you should go for RN5 AI

  • which one is much better. note 5 ai or mi A2?

  • Considering to downgrade from miui 10.3.1 pie to 9.5.19 oreo.

  • Good phone for its price. Screen on time close to 11 hours. Currently using Havoc mod by mr yacha. Quite stable, just a few bugs . Custom ROMs can keep this device alive for a long time.

  • It had otg support from the very beginning. May be its just you who didnt had. Lol. I used it many times . Rn5ai. However dont buy any Xiaomi products anymore. They just dont care about customers now. Only focus is to sell sell sell. Releasing new models too fast and not fixing old mobiles bugs or anything. They will just break your mobiles by pushing stable updates and force to buy there new. Too bad. The quality has gone

  • *are

  • A very bad phone. After 10 months of usage i encountered unresponsive touches sometimes it won't respond up to 5 seconds. I did not even update the os it is still the stock miui 9.5.13 global

  • rn5 is still good as rn7 ... search on xda for agni kernel : it will boost the sd636 as a sd660 with no overheat. rn5 is notchless (good for me), and has metal back.

  • I still use 8.1 Oreo MIUI 9.5.17.0 and everything is still working normally.

  • Battery drain too much during standby. After update only can get 5hr of sot frm 100-30%. Never get this little sot with any previous rom. Very disappointed

  • I charged it 100%. After that I unplugged, made sure nothing is running on the background, WiFi, Data, Bluetooth off. GPS still running. Got 2 sims on 4G standby and then left the phone aside for 10 hours. After 10 hours, came back to check I have 89% of battery. Check Power Idle: 27.5% Check Cell standby: 27.2% WTF this Pie update!

  • Redmi Note 5 AI does support OTG and RN7 is better...

  • Lte band 5 (850)not supported.

  • is redmi note 5 supports usb-otg since it's not indicate on this specs. or Which is better, rn5 or rn7?

  • I did it last night. Now everything is ok.

  • Redmi note 5 pro and redmi note 5 AI is same . They both have same name WHYRED . Go here and learn first on youtube or XDA how to install a custom rom . .

  • Well if you really curious about it then go ahead and update your phone maybe the update in your region doesn't have any significant problems.

  • But my 10.3.1 i received is in oreo before the pie update..and it didn't show pie update in the changelog...

  • I don't see a custom rom for Note 5 AI dual camera on XDA. For 5 Pro and 5 Plus yes, but not 5 AI Dual camera. Can you point me to the link?

  • My advice wait for next update because i'm very frustrated with my phone right now mostly because weak signal reception, slow and unstable internet + poor battery life. But there's also some slight lag when opening apps and i got forced close when using some third party apps like "Hedge Camera app" I send feedback using the "feedback" option in the setting every day hoping they will fix the problems as soon as possible.

  • Currently running on miui10.2.1 Is it worth to upgrade to 10.3.1.0.OEIMIXM ?

  • I noticed that Global ver of Pie 9.0 has slight battery drain issue and weak reception, sudden slow 4G LTE download speed and sometimes signal lost completely for a long period of time. This is no better than Oreo 8.1...

  • Mine is Global so far here's the problems that i got for Android Pie update. 1. Signal reception is weak, internet connections slow and unstable. 2. The battery drains faster than Android Oreo. 3. There's always slight lag when opening apps. 4. Occasionally some third party apps got forced close.

  • Please, is yours global version or Chinese

  • After updated to Pie 9.0, I noticed that my internet speed has become slow and unstable. Tried to contact Xiaomi through email, still no feedback to date...

  • Sorry but i only root or mess around with my phone after they stopped the support for my phone for now i'll wait the official fix from Xiaomi. By doing that it allows me to know how good they are when it comes providing services to their customers.

  • Yes i have the same problem like you, the internet connection is slow and unstable.

  • after update on android 9 pie everything work ok.......

  • Does anyone else have problem with slow internet after the Android 9.0 (MIUI 10.3.1.0 PEIMIXM) update. I'm sometimes unable to connect to internet after this update.

  • unlock your bootloader and install pixel experience for whyred from xda

  • The Android 9.0 (MIUI 10.3.1.0 PEIMIXM) on this phone is sucks ot drains the battery faster than Android Oreo, there's also slight lag when opening apps. I also don't see any improvements in camera still pretty much useless in low light, i hope they can add some kind of night mode that actually works in low light.

  • Hi everyone.. Guys, which one do you think is better Redmi k20 OR Realme x ?? Thanks

  • Just did the update to Pie (10.3.1.0/ PEIMIXM) and my Redmi Note5 4/64 is now really really slow now & battery drains faster. I would NOT recommend to do this upgrade. Regarding storage I have 28GB available from 64GB & clearing RAM will not make any improvements. Let's hope the next update will have a fix for this & will be available soon. My phone is really really slow now & a absolute pain to use at the moment.

  • I have no difference and i have used the phone over a year a bit. I dont feel anything have changed. Hard to find what features this android pie come with this phone. As in youtube titles are in English but open up the video it's either really fast speaking Indian in English or Hindu or what ever. It's really shibirish that cant understand a thing and that youtube is full of that only.

  • Performance is ok But the the battery drains a little bit faster than 8.2

  • Performance is ok But the battery drains little bit faster than 8.1 oreo

  • Something went wrong with 2nd 4G sim. After I updated to Pie, the 2nd sim slot, full bar but the 4G internet speed becomes slower. Whereas my Mi Max 2(China set) has no issue at all using the 2nd sim slot, full bar but the 4G internet speed is as usual. Are you having the same issue with your Note 5 AI too?

  • i don't understand why people keep using miui on their phones !!! i always switch to a custom rom (aosp or lineageos)

  • miui sucks, install a custom rom. google it on xda

  • unlock your bootloader, install twro then look for pixel experience rom or lineageOS for whyred on xda miui sucks !

  • No it doesn't

  • Google play store is not working well on pie stable update...

  • How's the battery drain after updating to Pie? Or is 8.1 still better?

  • Does the android 9 slow performance or drain battery faster???

  • I have updated my device But there is no any changes except that dark mood I expected to install Google camera but I couldn't Useless update with 1.6gb Give us 4k recording Google camera support Best bettery life This thing will be a good update. Dear xiaomi I am your diehard lover But now a days ......

  • Just updated to android P for those whose been facing low frame rate vid for IG issue it has been solved and theres dark mode setting...and that's the changes I've noticed in android P

  • I agree with you. However, the new Android 9 update fixes that issue. I believe something happened to my screen especially with a proper colour and contrast.

  • I switched from Meizu M3 Note to this phone, and the biggest disappointment is the display. The contrast is simply bad, no matter of the settings. Even with the biggest contrast set, white is simply not white enough. I put both phones one by each other, and the difference is huge in the contrast and picture quality. This is particularly bad when I am using the phone in the car for navigation etc, I am still not sure if I will rather keep the older Meizu (which also has some flaws). I bought to my wife Xiaomi A2 Lite and I have to say that it is much better, the display contrast is ok and the picture is then much better.

  • Nothing special,only dark mode in settings has change.still no 4k video,no any improvements in camera,no themes,face unlock in euro countries..i used to recommend xiaomi to friends but now in so many updates and nothing change dramatically in basic things i say no more xiaomi phones..they make fun of us..sell your mobiles in asia and india then..

  • Is there some list of what was changed with the Android 9 on it and what region need to be set on phone to have face unlock in the settings ? Not that i want that face unlock but still would be nice if i dont need to change region for it to have it. I would look videos for it on youtube but i am too noob to find any videos in youtube that is in English language. All titles are in english and then click on a video and listen that India people talk either ultra fast in english where the speech chibrish or just in India. I dont know how to block India region in youtube so i can find info videos in there where i can understand whats in the speech in these videos.

  • For my use i charge my phone every after 3-4 days. Your some really heavy user if it last you only 8 hours. out of 10 before. I would like to see some list of changes that 9 come with. As the update had no info other then just Android 9 and that was it.

  • Lots of bugs to fix, mostly visual, in this pie update. We'll see how it behaves, in next few days.

  • Brag Rights given! xD

  • Yes bro do it I updated mine 2 hours ago and after that I played to see how it was and it didn't show me any glitch .I listened to 6 musics and chated with my girlfriend and lost only 2%

  • What's the pie update like... Should i update mine

  • Hello .Should I do the new update ??Please reply😇😇

  • MIUI V10.3.1.0.PEIMXM 1.6GB finaly for xiaomi redmi note 5 ai

  • Can you instal Google-camera now ? Pie update should provide that?

  • Updated to 10.3.1 but the drawback is that battery drains fast

  • Dont download the latest pie update,its full of bugs,even it is a stable version..touch not responsive,cant applied theme,network became idle (the updown arrow disappear),screen auto brightness very slow to detect bright and low light and the last one battery drain.before update 100% to 10% is 12 hours with normal usage like social media only,now 100 to% 10% is 8 hours only..

  • yes it has got pie update in both chinese and global version

  • Hi everyone, Redmi k 20 Or realme x Which one do you recommend? Thank in advance.

  • Is global version geting android pie?

  • I got the update in the updater app today but did not install that time. Checked after 1 or 2 hours and the update was gone.

  • android 9 pie stable its publish from yesterday 30 may 2019 & its on way & will come to each country one by one

  • Anyone updated to 10.3.1? Any improvements? Would like to hear the feedback from y'all..

  • Dear xiaomi We warmly expecting these improvements from your updates 1. Built in 4k video recording 2. Google lense on camera 3. Updated miui And finally give us android 9 pie. If you give this all in your update It eill be a good deal

  • No any big improvements Updated for security patch

  • Thanks you guys for your response.. Actually, I have a question do you think Chinese cellphones companies like xiaomi would be affected regarding that American's companies cutdown supporting Huawei? Thanks

  • Anyone updated to 10.3.1? Any improvements? Would like to hear the feedback from y'all..

  • I would recommend Samsung or LG alternative devices

  • and for europe NO face unlock shame on you xiaomi

  • new miui 10.3.1.0 but still no android 9 on horizont

  • Redmi note 7 or Realme 3 Pro

  • Hi everyone Actually, I want to upgrade my xiaomi redmi note 5 Al and at the same time I super love this phone. I would like to ask redmi's 5 fans which phone do you recommend to upgrade for? Your advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks 😊

  • Any idea when Android Pie coming to Redmi Note 5 AI Msia set?

  • No issue with my Msia AI set. Outside 4G full bar. In apartment 2 to 3 bars. Worst is underground no line at all.

  • change the network provider type

  • I think you should resolve this with your network provider

  • My data connection is not working.The network is showing 3G,calls & messages working fine.But the data is not getting on.Is it device's problem? Anyone can give solution??

  • Mine is set to Indonesia and face unlock available

  • what are you talking about? It has face unlock since it was launched. All you have to do is set the region to india

  • Thats why i have set region to India.

  • Using this device for 7 months still no any issue in wifi reception

  • CHange your region to india or hongkong You will get the face unlock feature

  • Anyone know when they will release the face unlock feature? Apparently, they have the hardware to support this feature (especially in the Note 5 pro India Version)? N

  • I saw some camera review after update and the cam results bit yellow than MIUI 9 I guess I'm keeping my MIUI 9.5

  • yes its miui bug i m facing the same problem

  • bro its not touch issue its miui bug camera is slow in this bug wait for a new update

  • Nothing special after the Miui 10 launched. It was better in Miui 9 but im afraid to "brick" my phone :D

  • I have a Miui 10.2.2.0 stable version and i cant use 1080p 60fps. It makes video quality darker but at 1080p anf 30fps its all good. Specially when filming indoors.

  • Anyone faces wifi disconnect issue? My wifi keep disconnect every 10 seconds, is annoying...

  • I faced touch issue...when u take pic and touch downward to see pic ...it doest response on touch...

  • Yes

  • It can record at 1080p in 60 fps

  • Planning to buy SanDisk micro SD card 128GB. Do you think I should go for A2 Extreme or A2 Extreme Pro?

  • how is the camera after the 10.2.2.0 update??

  • I had that problem too

  • anyone here facing touch issue?

  • Xiaomi released a beta for android pie.

  • its normal don't worry

  • My phone have hitting prob in charge time for original charger! what I can do ? plz advise!!! note: I not update my phone !

  • Is it upgradeable to android pie?

  • BOM for most Android phones range from $70 to $300. iPhone X around $370. iPhones might be overpriced, but Apple puts good components in their phones, not parts from so-called 'low tier suppliers'.

  • Yes that's the reason why iPhone BOM is lower than most android smartphones

  • this feature is available since cm11 days !

  • Well I am changing it with honour 10 Lite

  • FInally recieced the security patch update for march

  • android pie beta soon yeah

  • Mine to have zero issues i'm very satisfied with this phone // using it since 6 months

  • Dear xiaomi Where is the security patch update for february

  • Hey I got this phone and someone stole it. I'm trying to get the IMEI number on the box but can only find IMEI1 and IMED when in fact this phone was dual SIM. Can anyone help in getting the IMEI2?

  • Mine has zero of those issues

  • O-film supplies front camera modules for iPhone 8 and iPhone X. Low tier supplier?

  • So Qualcomm makes bad SoCs huh?

  • Every single phone i had previously had that integrated, so that it automatically controlled media volume, WHEN media actually is playing. The decision to control media by DEFAULT is something i cannot understand. If you are not playing media, you should have control over ringtone volume. This came with miui 10, on miui 9 it was fine

  • Changing media volume instead of Ring volume is more better and convenient... Most frequently used thing is media, not ringtone

  • Ever heard of faulty units?? Mine again has no such image retention issues

  • And how do you know it's low tier components?? How come my Redmi Note 5 has been super reliable for months with absolutely no issues and camera has been fantastic and i am a fussy photographer. You clearly have no evidence to back up your statements just what some review states in some charts. So what??

  • This is a phone you can get for well under 200$! Of course, it's not gonna be perfect. My only complaint are the sketchy updates, and no useful feedback from users about those updates. And, the ridiculous decision to make the volume buttons control media volume, instead of ringtone volume... why!?

  • I've seen much more expensive phones that have problems with bluetooth, wifi and other issues ( some Sony models for example), while my Redmi Note 5 AI have never had such problems - it even has better battery , infrared sensor , and yes the camera sensor is from Samsung - makes very good photos and even 4k videos!

  • Wrong about what? Most parts in Redmi Note 5 Ai comes from low tier supplier with questionable QC. Most of their software features are just copy paste from another brands. My Xiaomi Mi4C can take better photos/videos in low light or in HDR mode. And here you go image retention on my Redmi Note 5 AI :

  • Both Senchao (Panel) and Ofilm (camera module) are low tier supplier they make cheap components with questionable QC. If you want to know what image sensor your phone use just look at the camera hardware S5K... (Samsung sensor), IMX... (Sony sensor) and OV... (Omnivision sensor. The only thing good is the Hynix memory because they make DRAM and Flash memory with great quality.

  • hi I had bought this Redmi Note 5A , taking photos is excellent but when try to download this brand is not recognised .. Very Sad a lot of nice photos ..now cannot download.....

  • You're wrong, my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is absolutely perfect after months of use

  • The display panel on mine is - Shenchao td4310 and I've never had any problem with it - and I like its colors and brightness very much! I does not have any image retention or other flaw! Camera is great (it is ofilm - according to its engeneer menu). Memory is Hynix LPDDR4. The phone is almost perfect for its price - the only thing that is not so good is its front selfie camera, but I don't need selfies, although I have made several and they were not bad at all.

  • Both of you typical closed minded fanboy who call other people who disagree with you stupid. The reason why Xiaomi can make this phone pretty cheap is because some of the components they use are low quality or from some unknown supplier and they also don't do to much effort on R&D or optimization. For example the LCD panel on my Redmi Note 5 AI comes from Tianma and i already got image retention/presistance from watching youtube video for about 15 minutes. On paper the camera looks great 12MP Samsung Isocell sensor with 1.4 micron and F1.9 lens but in reality the camera on my Mi4C even with smaller sensor, less pixel size and just F2.0 lens perform better in low light and HDR mode. It also capture very low quality photos/videos when using popular apps like Whatsapp and instagram. And most features on MIUI are just copy paste from another brands. Yeah the phone i great but if you open your mind and look into it you'll understand why it can be so cheap and why some users complaining.

  • Hello everyone, I have faced an issue with my redmi note 5 recently. I got a problem when I try to switch off the device or reboot it, it could not turn on directly! The logo of MI shows and goes for 5 to 6 times then finally the device opened!! Please, If anyone have an idea about this problem, kindly let me know... Thanks

  • This phone is amazing in this price and everything is great like Gaming, battery, etc especially back camera is stunning but the front Camera overexposing the images... Background is too white and you can't see the background because of whiteness... I'm talking about indoors pictures but outdoors... You should test first stupids... By changing Auto Exposure settings to Frame Average, it's pretty much better now... Try it first then comment

  • Yes, this phone is very good, even may be the best for its price! It's perfect for me - great camera, 4000 mah battery, very good display, the phone is fast and very reliable! Those who write bad things about it are stupid people!!!

  • I love this phone. Those who are saying bad comments on this phone have low life. They wanted very nice camera, very nice screen, long battery, fast charging etc. But this is the only phone they can afford to buy.

  • I also had a thin line like a scratch on the screen the next day I bought the phone!! It's the device's problem. They gave a new phone changing that. You should contact them from where you bought.

  • Front Camera is almost worst in this phone from the start, 95% pictures are overexposed especially background is always overexposed (whiten)... Expect front camera, phone is just superb!

  • After my set update is very hot.The front camera picture is pretty white, I mean my front cameras pictures being very bad,.

  • In short, it's just a gimmick

  • i wish i can instal camera to api for google cam

  • Hello, i am unable to find AI option in camera, anyone who can guide me on it? I am using note 5 AI dual variant 4gb/64gb global.

  • In my Redmi Note 5 AI I'm seeing a thin black horizontal line from top to bottom. But the thing is it hasn't ever fall from my hand or hasn't bumped into anything. Not sure whether it is the display's problem or the protector's that is installed over the display.

  • For video call you can use Google Duo it has better quality than any other app, but if you need to upload just use natibe camera app or other camera app and then upload it to instagram or whatsapp. For live streaming on whatsapp/instagram i don't have any solution.

  • that's mean you have updated your phone just uninstall game and install that again it happened with me too if you update your phone you will face this again

  • I recently update to official global 10.2.1.0 rom, and noticed all these problem with overheating, and battery draining. I solved these issues by doing a hard reset, After booting and setup, I turn on developer mode, and switch off miui optimizsation, this will change the resolution to 360 dp, I then switch it back to default 392 dp in smallest width. So far I've been getting better performance and battery life

  • Hello, I am recently having a problem in the phone. When I open pubg game and login with facebook, the game shutsdown automatically . On the contrary, I can't play online game with both Wi-Fi and data. When I try to play online game with Wi-Fi or data it shows can't connect to internet but I have a high speed Wi-Fi and 4G data, with online game and PUBG all runs well such as Youtube and facebook runs smoothly . Egerly waiting for feedback from you guys. Hope you all will be help full.

  • never use fast charger if you want a long battery. fast charger = battery killer

  • Has anyone noticed that after updated Note 5 AI to MIUI 10.2.1.0 the camera quality got worse? Is Xiaomi deliberately trying to lower its quality so to convince people to buy Redmi Note 7?😡

  • remove the battery and put a new one

  • I am having the same problem. After the update it takes forever for my phone to charge. Please advise of any remedy.

  • I have this phone from 7 month and I haven't face any issues .In my opinion this is the best phone under 200$.I would like fortnite mobile on this phone.

  • After 9 months , anyone get battery life or performance issues ? Please tell me what is the problem with this smartphone after long time use it .

  • I'm noticing that fast charging isn't working. I mean it takes 3 minutes per percent. Anyone else facing same issue after update MIUI 10.2.0???

  • we need night mode xiaomi...

  • Yeah you are correct my friend I am also suffering with this problem Xiaomi need to consider this

  • am using 3gb variant , phone is excellent but only front cam quality during video calling is worst..on Whatsapp or on any other app its worst... appreciate if someone has solution for improving broadcasting from front camera with good quality.

  • I have this mobile phone from 2 months the 3/32 variant and is very good. Up to 2 days of battery, fast charge, good camera, never lags, for the price and specs it's a good choice. I have a question: why the front camera when I use Facebook messenger in video call is blurry??? Please give me solution!!!

  • Hello! I just want to ask somethink :) Why power on off battery sever slider just gone away in the newsest update of the phone. BTW Great phone, well working battery and pretty good camera! :)

  • Forget default Music app. Download 'Musicolet' from playstore. It's far better, smaller in size and ad free.

  • Now REDMI I also have a request to make please do this for us. Your music player interface is not very helpful in searching for song to play. When we open your music interface you have RECENT, FAVOURITE and PLAYLIST. BUT THIS IS BETTER ALL SONGS, ALBULM, ARTIST, AND PLAYLIST is far better please do it so for us. We beg you. This way it's simpler to search for the songs you want to play.

  • Oh no Brother, the camera of this phone does not equal that Of Redmi Note 7 at all, actually the camera of this phone is good but not to the extent of the Note 7. In some of the latest review on YouTube there is camera comparisms between Galaxy not 9 and Redmi Note 7. The fact. Is most of the picture from the Galaxy Note 9 look better but there were few pictures from the 48 MP camera that looked better. Please go the and see it for yourselves. Also is not true you can not shoot pictures with the 48 MP. In the camera interface you go to pro mode and the option to choose the 48 MP is right there on the top of the camera. It makes very good pictures. Go and check on YouTube. Thank you.

  • Hello Redmi, I am using this phone currently. In the file and in the gallery there was no move files you can only copy things and it was giving me uneasiness. I complained a couple of times and they fixed that for me in their next update. Thank you Xiaomi, am grateful. Now I always listen to music with earphone can you bring an update that can help increase the volume and the bass and bit? Please do that for use and lastly give us ANDROID PIE UPDATE .Thank you.

  • Hello! I just want to ask somethink :) Why power on off battery sever slider just gone away in the newsest update of the phone. BTW Great phone, well working battery and pretty good camera! :)

  • Hey guys... My phone gets really hot(58oC) while playing HD games like PES... Pls is there a quick fix to this.. Am still on miui 9.5.17.. The chipsets is supposed to handle such games without producing much heat

  • What about recording quality ?? Is it better in miui 10?? Please tell me

  • Camera quality got worse after the 10.2.1.0 update.

  • Did anyone got update?

  • I think its better to use a screen protector, specially if you don't use mobile cover.I personally find the phone a bit slippery without cover!!

  • what are the good sides anybody experienced in the latest update??

  • Is it safe to use RedmiNote5 without a screen protector?

  • Redmi Note 7 vs Redmi Note 5 Camera Comparison - Redmi note 5 Ai good This Will Surprise You!

  • The F1.9 lens and camera sensor with 1.4 micron pixel size may sounds great on paper but in reality my Xiaomi Mi4C with F2.0 and 1.12 micron pixel size took better photos and videos than my Redmi Note 5 AI especially in HDR mpde and low light. Redmi Note 7 has wider aperture lens and at 12MP it will have the similar sensitivity to image sensor with 1.6 micron pixel size + according to the news the night mode will comes to Redmi Note 7. So if you need better camera buy Redmi Note 7

  • Updated..Imo the battery life reduced compare to 10.0.2, getting around 7hr sot only from 100% to 30%.

  • Hello. It has a good camera hardware with 1.9 aperture and 1.4 pixel size. I believe it can take basically better pictures than Redmi Note 7's interpolated 48MP camera. Am I correct? Thanks.

  • Best National Phone so far. 😍

  • not reading my finger print, keeps wanting to try again!!, even after reboot to factory default...

  • I updated to 10.2.1.0 stable ROM and now my mobile internet keeps dropping every 30 seconds! Anyone else experiencing this?

  • everything works without a problem, for me....

  • @cuorisoty

  • Best so far, performance is good, battery with gaming about 7-8 SOT. Google maps crashing, but overall it is ok. Camera is same

  • Anyone updated to the latest 10.2.1 stable rom? How's the overall performance and battery life?

  • Because based on my own experiences 3GB of RAM is not great for multi tasking. And when app/game developers add more features most of the time it will use more RAM. Soo.. That's why i suggest everyone who want to use their phone for more than 2 years to get any phone with 4GB of RAM and SD600 series so they can get enjoyable experience with their phone.

  • Because you have to keep in mind that applications get upgrades and use more RAM in order to get more options. At this point, 3 GB of RAM is enough, but considering two years in advance without 4 GB you can not expect a good user experience.

  • Why you need 4GB to last 2 years ? Why isnt 3GB enough for it ? This phone isnt made for gaming as first priority so you dont need that 1000GB of ram now days we have on phones.

  • Let me try to answer yur questions. 1. Yes it can last for more than 2 years especially if you get the one with 4GB of RAM. 2. So far i don't have any problem with overheating but if you don't have good 4G reception while playing heavy games/apps the phone will get warm. 3. The battery is good i can play PUBG with 20% left for more than 30 minutes and finish the game at about 10% (but if you have bad signal receptions it will drain the battery significantly). 4. Have the 3GB version and the maximum setting i can get is Medium but my friend with 4GB of RAM can get High. To be honest with you if you looking to use the phone for mpre than 2 years i suggest you to get phone with at least SD600 series + 4GB of RAM and USB type C.

  • I have had it for something 8 months or even 9 and i dont see why cant it last over 2 years. And there are news that this phone will get Android 9 Pie too as they soon start to test it and looking users who want to test it.

  • Hi, please tell me if this phone is meant to last. I want to buy it but I really need it to stay fine for at least 2 years... I will appreciate if users can share their positive/negative experiences with this device. Thank you.

  • i hv beard android p is rolling out for this phone with 10.3 update

  • Note 5 AI >>>>>> J6

  • 1. Can I expect this phone to with fine for more than 2 years? 2. Anyone experience heating issues? 3. How good is its battery (gaming & non gaming)? 4. What graphics can it run PUBG smoothly on?

  • Is there even a chance we get Pie on this phone ? This 10.2 UI change again and i dont like it that much. Hard to see how much battery is left now when the number is in the battery icon

  • I got my last 10.2 update and im wondering if xiaomi will ever put 2160 p video in that phone wich it shame not to have and also im very dissapointed why they dont support themes and face unlock in cyprus and greece and have to change our region to appear..

  • after updating 10.2 battery lasts shorter during browsing or usage mobile.but standby a bit longer.

  • Well recently I have done the new update of 10.2 I have to say it is the rubbish update I never seen battery time gets very low specially when you are playing games more over Wi-Fi is continuously disconnecting and even charging time is on the higher side

  • Note 5 ai is better

  • Hahaha Samsung... what a joke

  • Samsung j6 or note 5 Ai

  • used 7 month ago miui 10.2.1.0 , very good battery last longer

  • Xiaomi redmi note 5 Reasons: Bigger screen, no notch, faster, i think it's a lil bit slimmer, better camera. Xiaomi mi a2 lite Reasons: Android One

  • Great phone

  • Today I got an update of 10.2 but unfortunately I did not download it now its not showing me the update even I am trying to find it but its not showing me the new update will it come again?

  • Don't listen to Legit. Been using this phone since August and I love it. MUI 10 works fine, no issues. Camera is working fine with all known Social Network apps with no issues Been using Waze since then and regular user - Once per day or more and GPS takes about 5s to lock position. Fast and Accurate. So guys. Buy this phone since you can have the 4Gb/64Gb for less than 200€ in Europe!

  • I doubt it's from the camera. For me i noticed when ever i use any app that access the camera it always lower's the resolution and quality of the picture or video

  • Did someone get 10.2 update....?

  • Of course the speaker would stop playing when someone is calling you

  • My Redmi Note 5 AI recently got an update and it turned MIUI 10 with Android Oreo 8.0.1

  • Go get a new phone ASAP. You are the only one complaining

  • the speaker of my Note 5 Xiaomi Redmi stops during the call

  • I didn't

  • Did someone get new update?

  • 9.5.22.0 to 10.2 Should i upgrade ? i want good camera quality and battery life !

  • For those who are thinking of buying this device, maybe think twice. I mean, its a great phone. Great hardware. Been using this for the past 10 months. And lets just say that, this might be the last xiaomi phone (been a fan since 1st redmi note). Pros Great hardware. Capable of doing what is intended to. Great camera. I mean, realll goooood. Friends are super impressed with the camera output. Battery can last almost a day for a heavy user like me. Able to handle heavy multitask with very little lag. Gaming is fine. Face unlock is awesome. Fingerprint scanner is blazing fast. Second space feature is very convenient for discreet people *cough* Cons Software is very unstable. I blame everything on the software itself. Laggy camera, sometimes it takes more than 10 secs just snap photo. This bugs me the most. Noticable lag while switching apps (only when heavily used) Miui 9 used to have beautify feature during video calls (whatsapp/wechat), but with miui 10, the feature is no longer there. Hard to lock gps on certain apps like grabcar. Waze and maps working fine. Overheated sometimes. Only when youre using too much. Whatsapp notification delay almost all the time. Had to install dns switch to solve this. Conclusion, its a great phone, great hardware. Miui is just super unstable. I might flash custom rom to do this phone justice. Sure, a lot of people argue that there is a workaround for everything. Frankly, im getting tired having to opt for workaround so that the phone can function normally as it should. Its the same thing with every xiaomi model. For once, i would like to use a phone that can perform as good as what stated in paper without having to tweak here and there. Will continue using this phone, but this is my last xiaomi phone.

  • You are the only one telling that.

  • I am highly disappointed with the video recording capabilities of this phone, but I'm pleased with it's photography

  • But the AI has a better micron pixel size

  • The MI A2 is better because of these reasons: Higher/Better camera, will get the updates the quickest! Better CPU/GPU but there is one downside! The battery! 4000mAh is better than the 3080 mAh battery but because of the chipset and the fresh non-touched OS! The MI A2 is still better phone! Hope this helped! :) have a nice day.

  • I have this phone and in my opinion, the rear camera is a downgrade from the redmi note 5 pro. I can say this when looking and comparing at the reviewed picture. The detail in 5 pro is far more superior than the 5 ai one. I suppose this is because the xiaomi paying more on it developer to create AI software for bokeh effect in the single selfie camera

  • Mi A 2

  • Hello guys.. Please help me to choose which one are better this phone or Xiaomi Mi A2 ? Please give me a reason.. Thank you..

  • My phone has screen cover and protector. It fell from 6 inch high on its back and guess what the glass cracked. I recommend a good 360 protection cover. I am satisfied with it's camera, battery, gaming performance etc.

  • It depends on your budget, Honor 8x is a great deal... Pocophone is also great in performance

  • Hi guys,, Please, if I want to upgrade my xiaomi redmi note 5, what should I buy!? If you have an idea, could you please write it for me! Thanks

  • I am using 3gb variant , phone is excellent but only front cam quality during video calling is worst..on Whatsapp or on any other app its worst... appreciate if someone has solution for improving broadcasting from front camera with good quality.

  • Can someone tell me the endurance of the phone when playing heavy games ( sorry for bad eng)

  • This phone is really an excellent phone but the problem is the chipset because nowadays we have some very fast chipsets like helio p60 P70 which is far more better than this 636 so I feel in redmi 7 Pro show me should go with helio P70 because sometimes I feel that this phone is not so fast as it should be one more thing that Touch Response of the phone is is not silky smooth due to SD 636 so I hope this new P70 will fix it up

  • Install "Open Camera" , go to settings- video settings - video resolution and select - 4K Ultra HD . In the same menu - select Enable Video Stabilization ! And of course shoot the video with the same program- Open Camera! I've seen comparison between photos made with Redmi Note 5 AI and with Honor 8x - and those made with Note 5 AI were obviously better!

  • How do I get 4k videos on my redmi note 5ai?

  • Also - the phone makes very good ( really good) 4k videos with "Open camera" (the app) for example!!!

  • Redmi Note 5 AI - especially after the last upgrade to 10.0.6.0 great photos and very good camera quality - simply top for that price ,even surprisingly good photos!! I have the phone for 3 months and I would say - buy it ( the global version) you would not be disappointed! Honor 8x is more expensive and with weaker battery - I wouldn't buy a phone with less than 4000 mah today!!!

  • Honor 8x is the best buy... Otherwise realme 2 pro

  • Hi guys....how durable is the redmi note5 Ai Screen and calibrator?... Has anyone had issues with cracked screens?

  • SD 660 is slightly better performance and is known for batt consumption. This in combination with low 3500mAh, the math is done fast

  • Redmi note 6 pro cheap than realme 2 but the Spec below realme 2 Realme 2 pro strong performance but expensive

  • hye guys.. please help me.. which one are better.. I'm a heavy user.. 1.Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera. 2.Huawei Y9 (2019) 3.Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (Redmi 6 Pro) 4.Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro. 5.Realme 2 Pro

  • how to update?

  • Well my phone got 1.6 GB update and its Global stable version moreover I can share screenshot to confirm you did anybody get 1.6 GB update?

  • Update is about 163MB (maybe 167MB..) for Note 5 AI, or Global version, not 1,6GB. BUT if someone update phone from 9.5.x.x MIUI to MIUI 10 (any version include 10.0.6.0).. then is about 1.6GB Anyway security patch is now from November 2018.. with this update.

  • Well in Indian variant this update is 167 MB but in this AI variant this update its nearly 1.6 GB so i wanna ask but what's the reason of this big update

  • I just get today this morning my update to 10.0.6 and im very pleased with that.now the camera back has much more details,and much more contrast,and the video in 60fp is not dark now with good results...

  • They say that the latest version has auto brightness problem.

  • updating mi ui to 10.0.6 version...is better or not guys????coz 10.0.4 having problem in screen lock...automatically the phone shut off when 1st time open the phone after charging..plz help...tnx

  • My phone stay on miui 10.0.1 without receiving latest update. Does anyone have idea what is going on?

  • 10.0.6.0 not yet available

  • True

  • Note 5 AI have better camera quality (in low light) compared to Note 5 Pro fro Indian market. Note 6 Pro have identical back camera, like Note 5 AI Global version, or China version)..

  • Redmi Note 5 AI: QC 3.0 Redmi Note 5 Pro: QC 2.0

  • Are you ok?? Read my opinion again... I'm taking about Redmi Note 5 AI and Redmi Note 6 Pro... Not about Resmi Note 5 Pro...

  • Note 5 pro have Sony sensor while Ai 've Samsung sensor, so cameras produce significant difference while comparing meticulously. Ai is Chinese version of Note 5, cheaper than Note 5 pro.

  • Miui 10.02 update made camera awesome but now on 10.04 its not good....

  • Guys, is this phone a 3.0 or 2.0 quick charge? gsmarean said 3.0 but seller said is 2.0

  • Both Remi Note 5 AI and Redmi Note 6 Pro has same camera optics and the results are almost same... In some situations Redmi note 5 AI is better and in some situations redmi note 6 Pro is better... There is AI feature in Redmi note 6 pro which is purely software based... The major change between redmi note 5 ai and redmi note 6 pro is the display and front camera... nothing else

  • This phone has excellent network connectivities (wifi and mobile data). Im very satisfied with it.

  • The redmi note 6 pro has better camera quality than 5. Everything else are the same.. And oh by the way the notch sucks lol xD

  • I'm currently on miui 10.0.1 and have not received latest update ,no matter how many times I check for update. Meanwhile ,other are using 10.0.4 . What's the problem?

  • pls. help guys why does my Redmi note 5 in standby mode a couple minutes it's not been use it turn it off the phone automatically?I already check all the setting...and also after I update from 9 to mi ui 10.4 version...same problem again...it turns off the phone in standby mode...pls help tnx....

  • I have this mobile phone from 2 months the 4/64 variant and is very good. Up to 2 days of battery, fast charge, good camera, never lags, for the price and specs it's a good choice, I came from iPhone 5s which I needed to carry always my charger in pocket. Now my soul is in peace :p I have only 2 questions : why the front camera when I use Facebook messenger is blurry, and is the Note 5 AI eligible for the PIE ?

  • wow..what a miracle

  • Will New update bring super slow motion and night shots for this phone?

  • In terms of processor speed, primarily. But Redmi Note 5 AI/Pro's newer Snapdragon 636 chipset beats the Redmi 5 Plus' Snapdragon 625 in terms of RAM speed, graphics processing, download speed, and charging. Overall, Redmi Note 5 AI performs better.

  • The only diference is that redmi note 6 has dual camera on front, but i guess that there is no flash on front side, but note 5 has single front camera and flashlight. About RAM, in terms of user experience i think that 3gb is minimum for todays android phones, but 4gb is more than enough for regular user :), for me with 4gb on redmi note 5 everything is running smooth.

  • Redmi note 6 pro or redmi note 5 ai? I think the specs are the same so I wanna ask the users' opinion about this device... I kinda dont like the notch in the 6 pro tho it's really not a big deal. Also, is there a big difference between the 4gb and 6gb ram in terms of performance? What can you say about the camera differences of note 6 pro and this? Thank you for your answers, really torn between these two as both has sd card slot and 3.5mm jack which is what I need and an ir blaster, too.

  • Yes, it has

  • Today I was shocked to to compare this phone with redmi 5 plus because redmi 5 plus is faster than redmi 5 Pro

  • Hey, does this model have guro eis stabilization for the camera?

  • Which update?

  • Use some force for plugging in... Done

  • what is the mean by y9 2018...do u mean huawei y9 2018...pls ans me

  • It will be, after MIUI update. Note 6 Pro have AI button in camera app.

  • Guys , less than a week i bought redmi note 5. Today i tried to use earplugs and it doesnt plug on properly. Help to solve this problem, please. Mozambique.

  • Just go on y9 2018

  • No at all. It has dual band wifi connection 2.4, 5G. As well as with network coverage.

  • Guys can someone tell me is there any option of AI in front camera or in back camera because this phone is using even the name of a i phone but I couldn't find any option of AI and both cameras

  • guys iam very confused which phone should i buy either redmi note 5 ai or huawei y9(2018).plz give me advice

  • does this phone any network or wifo connection issue???

  • Wow. After I upgraded to miui 10 the camera gradually improved.

  • I have Note 4, and in the last 20 days Note 5. No way that Note 4 camera, or video, or sound from recorded video(s) is better, than in Note 5. Front and back cameras is better in Note 5 AI.. Try look at settings of camera, disabe beauty mod or somethink like that, because (for the price) camera in this phone is really good, better than in Note 4, especially in low light conditions.

  • I bought this phone to upgrade my xiaomi redmi note 4.but unfortunately I'm very disappointed especially with the camera. My xiaomi redmi note 4 take great photo compared to this one. I tried to adjust the setting as per advised by someone here. But the results of my photos looks like a painting. Is there any possibility that it will become better? I can't return it already. Thanks

  • Yes

  • BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Will this phone get android p?

  • 9-10 soT (if brightnes is set to manual and under 40%). Battery life is same with MIUI 10 as it was with 9, but (that what i do) hard reset after upgrade to 10 is required. Im on 10.0.4.0 and battery life is the same as it was with 10.0.2.0, bit phone is more fluid with 4.0..

  • For face unlock, change region to India, Hong Kong, France.. Etc. About theme store, don't know why your country is not supported, because i think, all countrys have theme store (with MIUI 9 and 10). Try restart your phone and try again.

  • Curently, I have this phone and I'm glade. Im satisfated with this price. I buy't on march 2018 from pcgarage.ro with 1100 RON (236 euro), global version. I still waiting from "unlock face" software. Don't have Theme apps in global version; just in indian version (I switch country name from Romania to India and i see appear icon Themes). But I can install a lot of themes from google play (themes for samsung, apple, etc), and a lot of free apps.

  • what is the screen on time in 10.0.2 in normal usase

  • Yup thats right. Poco launcher has a clean look and also has an app drawer.

  • How to access LTE. I have the sim and everything with my service provider but it's only showing H+.

  • No issues at all with 10.0.4. Those who are complaining. Use your brain dont update your phone. Why keep updating your phone if you already knew it will get worst. This already the third update I guess and you complained with 9.6. Then complain again in 10.. 0 then 10.4.

  • I was sceptical for al those updates but after 10.0.4 update the performance has really been improved. More RAM is available ca. 13% ~= 400MB. but the layout shitty.. very thick and cheap

  • Maybe you sould try factory reset, thats what i was do. Mine works ok, no lags, no slow-downs, battery is good, camera is same as it was with 10.1, and 10.2. It gets job done, but nothing amazing (for the price). To be hones MIUI is not better tan MIUI 9, is not worse, but not better either, maybe new slider for brightness is more practical, but, thats it.

  • I've updated the system to MIUI 10.0.4.0. And the result is terrible. The camera is just the same as before, becoming worse, though, many lags which we can say not even smoother process. This is the most regrettable update i've ever made. Can I roll it back to previous version? HELP!!

  • Previous Update : Antutu Benchmark Scores : 115350 . GeekBench 4 : Single Core Score-1337 , Multi-Core Score-4932 . MIUI 10.0.4.0 Update : Antutu Benchmark Scores : 114726 . GeekBench 4 : Single Core Score-1341 , Multi-Core Score-4889 .

  • 10.0.4.0 + Poco Launcher and this fone is like a rocket and battery is amazing. This fone beats my previous LG G5.

  • For me, it's more smooth. The camera is now very clear. Also, the battery now last a little bit longer..

  • For Me a bit smoother

  • What is the present performence after updating MIUI 10.0.4.0..........?

  • downloading 10.0.4.0 :)

  • Did you mean "Which one do you prefer ? Xiaomi redmi note 5 or Lenovo K5 pro? For me the latter because it have dedicated Micro SD slot not hybrid simcard/micro sd slot like the former. The latter also lighter than the former, 165g to 181g. But if your main concern is camera than the former is better than latter and the former also have a IR blaster which can be used as remote controll replacement for electronic equipment. If you picks the former my advice is dont updated it because MIUI are famous and known for its buggy update which can ruins your phone. Just used as its were out of box and it will be fine.

  • Redmi Note 5 AI/Pro

  • Which one do you offer? Xiaomi redmi note 5 or Lenovo K5 pro?

  • Guys seriously this 12 megapixel camera is one of the best cameras I have ever seen I am seriously impressed with the details the level of details are insane too much clarity in the pictures

  • Also wants to thank you for this tip, now front camera is really good, with saturatred colors

  • Thanks man . No problem . Enjoy this Budget king Device . :)

  • ESim is here. MIUI 10.0.3.0

  • Bro u r great, told settings worked. I was very disappointed wth front cam and now happy with that after settings.

  • I got today Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (Global version, or AI) 3/32GB version. On first boot in phone was MIUI 9 (9.5.6.0 and security patch from 01.03.2018). After chek for update, MIUI 10 (10.0.2.0) is available. To be honest, MIUI 10 is little faster, have differente notification bar (similar to Android Pie). So here is some pros and cons MIUI 10 vs MIUI 9 (i was Resdmi 5, also Redmi 5 Plus user with MIUI 9 (9.5.13, to 9.6.4.0). Pros: little faster, fingerprint unlock have same speed Cons: It seems that battery will last shorter (now is first cycle of charging, but it seems that MIUI 10 consumes about 15% more battery, than MIUI 9 (in Redmi 5 Plus, with same resolution, and sam screen size, and same 4000mah battery). I guess MIUI 10 needs still optimizations for battery life, everything else is ok, cameras (front and back) is way better than 5 and 5 Plus. Notice: after update phone was reset to factory settings, so fp scener is fast, no heating, etc.

  • i m also from pakistan . Yup Still not recieve October security update . We will definitely get Pie Update.

  • Any news about Pie update?

  • I didn't receive October and November security updates yet. I'm from Pakistan. Did anyone get it anywhere?

  • Go to front camera setting . ANTI-BANDING : 60 HZ . AUTO EXPOSURE SETTING : Frame centered . Contrast , saturation and sharpness are set to HIGH . And remember Use HDR . Now u will not dissappoint . :)

  • Basically the front camera is not so sharp but the fact is the rear camera is excellent with lot of details and excellent Colour contrast moreover the battery time of this phone is excellent I like this phone very much this is pure of value of money

  • This phone is awesome from camera to performance can't complain!!!

  • I tested my phone on every miui and the issue of the front camera is same...

  • Yeah I'm facing the same issue on front camera... It's even worse then my previous phone Huawei P9 Lite (8MP front)... In daylights, pictures became overexposed and in indoors, lack of details...

  • for 150-160$, it's good enough, also i heard that after MIUI 10 update in this model, cameras (back and front>) is little worse, than before.. So, try to flash MIUI 9.5.19.0, or 9.6.4.0 for better camera resultat(s);

  • I am using this right now :D and this is so awesome! the camera is too good, the speakers and the processor no heat no logs.,..... 5 for this!

  • What are the features of update 10.0.2.0

  • Yes the rear camera shots are coming like oil painting Front camera good

  • Well I am pretty satisfied with this phone because if you compare this phone with honour 8X which is almost double in price honour 8X does not provide you eiS and secondly it lacks fast charging so the charging time is nearly 3 hours both of these things are basics in these days. So that is why I love xiaomi redmi 5 Pro... and about the camera detail I think 12 megapixel camera of redmi 5 Pro is far better than honour 8X because the details after zooming the pic is stunning mostly people asking the pictures are plasticy.. guys there is a limitations of 12 megapixel so that is why the pixel size is only 12

  • Im happy with this phone. I didnt experience any lag or camera issues. SATISFIED

  • You must be mistaking this for a mid range or flagship smartphone, learn to think thoroughly first before you criticize. Idk whats going on with your devices but the photos taken by mine seems ok.

  • Same here bro...........!

  • Help......! Can anyone give me the link of MIUI 9.6.4.0 global stable ROM for this Redmi note 5 AI....? I am from Bangladesh. Please help me.........!

  • This phones rear camera is not good at all, after taking a picture and zoom it, it's look like oil painting. Front cam is good in daylight. When using the camera phone get heated up quickly and drain the battery. Not happy with the phones camera..

  • Alright, i am using note 5 AI , not happy with its front cam. In low light it gives not a clear picture while in daylight it captures extra bright photo.

  • Yes, code name for this phone (also for Note 5 Pro = India) is Whyred.

  • Help please it is true that The code name of this device whyred for custom Rom

  • I confused about the code name of this device to install custom Rom The code name of the device called whyred or not Please help

  • lol not with my redmi note 5 global. Everything is working fine..

  • Don't buy Xiaomi as the WiFi direct in all Xiaomi devices didn't work also it didn't appear the waiting calls and it's battery will be very hot all time

  • I was write for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI and Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Global version, it's the same phone. Of course, Xiaomi Note 5 Pro is differente, it is on the (Indian) market since february, comes with Nougat out of box, have 20 Sony front camera (AL/Global is 13mp OmniVision, but some says its better because of aperture or something like that. At least it was until MIUI 10 update..).. Xiaomi really messed with names, just look at Redmi 5 Plus, that phone is Redmi Note 5 (in India)..

  • Nope :/

  • Difference exists bro, note 5 pro has 20mp selfie cam while note 5 ai has 13mp selfie cam.

  • Note 5 pro has 20mp selfie cam and note 5 ai has 13mp front cam, this is only main difference.

  • What's different between Note 5 Ai and Note 5 Pro???

  • I don't have anymore Redmi 5, or Redmi 5 Plus, still waiting Note 5 from aliexpress. And in my case, that only apear with MIUI 9.6.3.0 in Redmi 5, for MIUI 10 and Note 5 i don't know, yet.

  • How is the issue now? Do you still experience it? I am skeptical to take this to service center.

  • I was have same problem on Redmi 5 back in july this year, and it was on 9.6.3.0,, and also on 9.6.4.0.. So this is something with MIUI thing, maybe broken côde or something like that, and they just copy/paste in newer builds.. ;)

  • Ok, thanks for info. So.. 9.5.4.0, then 9.5.6.0, then, 9.5.13.0, then 9.5.19.0, and thats a last of MIUI 9.5 (with june security patch). Next is 9.6.3.0 (July patch), and i think, last from MIUI 9.6 (for this device) is 9.6.5.0, after that is MIUI 10 (10.0.1.0)

  • Its a same phone, Xiaomi Note 5 AI does not exist, only Xiaomi Resmi Note 5 Pro (for Indian market and it was on Nougat out of box), and this one, Xiaomi Note 5 (Global version). Why GSMArena calls this phone artifical intelligence, who knows, maybe for those stuff in cameras.

  • Sorry, device comes with Miui 9.5.4.0 and the miui 9.5 is the best rom... I was confused with letter 4... Hope this helps

  • Don't know why I'm facing the same problem... Sometimes when I try to lock the phone, It locks and unlocks at a single click... With single click, it's responding 2 times...

  • does 10.0.2.0 update support screen recording with system sound??

  • Ohh im using a redmi note 5 global version which comes with 9.5.13 miui rom. Since i cant find a global version here in gsmarena so i stayed here. But i do think the specs of global and ai are the same

  • When will Xaomi Redmi Note 5 Ai get android P update

  • I experienced an issue lately with the power button. Sometimes it is unresponsive or too much sensitive. It causes me to press the power button twice or thrice in order to lock/unlock the screen.

  • But like i wrote, this phone ships with 9.5.6.0 and 8.1 Oreo out of box, i dont think we can downgrade under 9.5.6.0, even new, unused phone :)

  • Thanks for info.

  • Miui 9.6 and below versions are better compared to miui 10.0.2 when it comes to battery life and camera aspects, although miui 10 has a lot of new features..

  • I am using it pakistan region, anyone recieved its face unlock option update?

  • Miui 9.4 (I think miui 9.4.6) is the best rom in terms of battery backup and camera quality with 2x portrait mode...

  • So.. what is a best MIUI 9 version for battery life for this phone? 9.5.6.0 (the one that comes with new Note 5 ai, security patch is from 01.03.2018), or 9.5.0.19, or 9.6.3.0 (with june sp).

  • What's the problem with in update 10.2 because all is giving good feedback about the last update ?

  • Friends..........Is it possible to get back MIUI 9.6 from 10.2...? If possible , then please give me the instruction.........!

  • Bro ,it's already available on play store .

  • Can u give me the link of pixel icon pack?

  • Thanks man , installed the poco launcher and the pixel icon pack now my phone looks gorgeous!

  • Hey man. Also a Nigerian. Am thinking about getting the phone. Please what do you think about the weight of the phone. Is it too heavy or not and does it gets overheated while using data connection

  • Very good phone but i have issues with the cameras when focusing on the object the background became washed out

  • To those who are still running their devices on Miui 9.5 or 9.6 don't upgrade yet if you want a long lasting battery life. Even with the latest Miui 10.0.2 the battery still drains faster compared to 9.5 or 9.6 Miui versions..

  • Of youre planning to but this phone. It a fantastic phone. Been using it about 4 months now. Few issues here and there but regular updates solves the issues . YOU MUST INSTALL A SCREEN GUARD ON THIS DEVICS! Forgive my emphasis but this phones screen is the worst I've seen with xiaomi and I've used quite a few. The phone barely dropped from my hands and theirs already a crack on it. I'm in Nigeria so no service center to replace my screen and will have to order for a new screen that will take a while to receive and at a high cost. Great phone buy they could have done better with the screen .

  • Can you show how to enable that guide? Please it will be of a lot of help

  • MIUI 10.0.1 had a performance problem that I faced but 10.0.2 solved it . Phone becomes very smooth . Battery life is now superb. But....... the fingerprint scanner is still slow.........!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks. Im going to use it, because i ordered this phone couple days back. I was using Redmi 5, later Resmi 5 Plus, and on those phones, battery life was a pretty good (with MIUI 9.5 and 9.6.3.0), and, thats why i asked difference between MIUI 9 vs MIUI 10 in battery life, and other stuff. Thank you again for information. I must say, there are really helpful people here on GSMArena, and also on MIUI forum for Xiaomi phones.

  • yeah .But 10.0.1 solved that problem for me .now its okay . One more thing if you are using the phone or going to use it someday install the poco launcher on it and apply the pixel icon pack .It looks awesome and super easy to use .

  • To India, or Hong Kong, same goes for face unlock. Maybe thats Xiaomi primary market, and because of that first gets more options (and better sound). Problem is, if we chose, for example India, we cant use MI acc via phone number, (In EU) because first 3 numbers is for India region and mobile providers.

  • Thank you for information. So, MIUI 10.0.2.0 is good for battery. I have one more question. I read on MIUI forum for this model (or Note 5 Pro = India), that, after update to MIUI 10, fingerprint response is slower, also that in some users, cpu all 8 cores stuck at max all the time. Do you have some of those problem in your phone?

  • Now its my final update 10.02...it has solved everything...fast and amazing battery and sharp cam ever...i will not do any more update

  • Miui 10.0.1 had a performance problem that I faced but 10.0.2 solved it . Phone becomes very smooth . Loving it.

  • I order yesterday Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI from aliexpress, can someone tell me with what version of MIUI 9 comes out of box (9.5.0.19 or newer)? Also, what version of MIUI os is the best for battery life in this model, does works good on MIUI 10 (10.0.1.0 or 10.0.2.0), thanks

  • Basically this phone has 24 bit hifi dac.... But in china low volume is used... So they restricted in specific regions... But india people love music so much.... Its simple

  • It really works by changing the region to India. But how do you explain this?

  • Ali you are right after new update miui 10,02 ...battery got insane timings...it get double as compare to miui 10.01

  • mirror over chrome cast 2 freezing after conecting, any solution for this problem (redmi note 5 ai) chrome cast is with last update

  • Where is your location pls?

  • Well my hv stable version ...now after 10.2 ...it has got massive battery time...ever than before....front cam has been improved...

  • When did you get the update? Is it the global version or china version? My phone is currently on MIUI 10.0.1.0 version, battery drains fast & heats up.

  • After new update ...miui 10.2...battery timing has been excellent...no drain ...its the best

  • Changing region to india will make double the sound via headphone s...its true i hv done it

  • That was a smart move because MIUI updates frequently comes with bugs and it will ruins the phones. This move can be apply to all Xiaomi MIUI phone.

  • I bought it a few days ago and loving it best phone in mid-range great performance really satisfied by redmi note 5 ai

  • lol, work super

  • This phone didn't support WiFi direct and the MIUI system is worst than Samsung software I was disappointed with this phone

  • Issue still remains... Change you phone's region to India or HongKong for better audio from headphone jack

  • Same here im on MIUI 9.5.13.0 stable. I really searched for a lot reviews before deciding to upgrade and as what i have seen so far there are plenty of bugs on the new updates so i did not upgrade at all. The battery really lasts long and the camera qualities are decent. I've been already using this for few months and im still loving it 😃

  • What about low headphone volume ??? Is it solved in last MIUI update or not ?

  • hi it is quick charge 2.0 confirmed by my tests bye

  • Ya my also same problem

  • I'm on my 5 months of using this phone now, I do nothing with this phone aside from playing games and editing videos, daily browsing and streaming. Since I got the phone I never updated it, it is on MIUI 9.5.6.0. No heating problems, play for a long period. I use it to play Asphalt 9 it only takes exactly 10% of battery for an hour. It doesn't support quick charge, it charges for about more than 2hours from 20-100%. Other than that, I can use it very well, I don't know about the bugs but the Camera and everything is fine. My only complaint about it is the headphone volume is very weak, weak radio signal. But the battery is very good, I don't plan to upgrade it as I read MIUI greater than 9.5 has weaker battery life.

  • Yes..

  • hi all. is that true that xiaomi want do that cchinese version xiaomi phones mustbe didnt work in other countries? my chinese, in china installed global version.. from ali.. i bought

  • I noticed that when i updated to miui 10 front camera not that clear, its heating when phone is charging, and battery drains fast, and then there's some problems with the touch. there"s some lag. Hope thay will be able to fix this problems. or can i go back to miui 9.6?

  • As far I know miui10 update was supposed to have system sound option in screen recording!! but it's still the same with mic & mute even after the update!! is it my device's prblm??

  • Yeah! Patiently waiting...coz am enjoying my redmi note 5 AI.

  • well it is expected, i mean it is the first version of miui 10. same like when miui 9 released the first version has some issues. just wait for the monthly update

  • After MIUI 10 update full screen gestures is very Laggy, not smooth at all. Please kindly update and improve performance Xiaomi.

  • I've just buy this phone last week ( 3GB RAM / 32 GAB INTERNAL ) with MIUI 9.6. But yesterday I update to MIUI 10 Stable but it make camera performance poor especially for selfie camera. Rear camera still work best for new MIUI . I also notice battery drained fast after update to MIUI 10. Honestly I dislike this MIUI 10 layout design and I'm prefer MIUI 9.6 design. Hope Xiaomi team will provide for more better MIUI soon.

  • miui 10.0.1.0 is heating and unstable. miui 9.6.4.0 more better although have a little bugs. by the way, when we can get update without bugs/problem guys? xiaomi bad for software.

  • Overall this phone is amazing... Redmi Note 5 Pro/AI, Realme 2 Pro (Not 6GB variant) and Poco F1 are the best value for money... You can buy any without thinking...

  • I am using it.... Its not that bad

  • How is the overall perfomance of this phone?? I am planning to buy this phone but I doubt about the front camera. Is it good? Is it fine to buy this phone now??

  • Lack of details, but not bad

  • My phone is running on Oreo 8.1 (miui 10)

  • Oreo 8.1 is already available from 2 months in Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI (global version).

  • I heard that the front camera is not good?

  • oreo 8.0 to 8.1 better.. This 8.1 update version will be available?

  • My Redmi Note 5 Al (global verzion) battery was better than the MIUI 9.6 version I received on my phone. I bought a new one with that version and upgraded to MIUI 10 and I just made a mistake. The camera is also worse at MIUI 10. I hope this is going to be corrected for some upcoming update, what do you think? Or is there a possibility to return the MIUI version 9.6?

  • Not sure. But we definitely need an update really soon. Front camera is not good at all after the last update.

  • agree, they broke the update. Will they update on android pie?

  • Hard Reset (first backup files), and after that it will be same, or snappier than with MIUI 9.6

  • im using it for 5 months now...things i noticed so far a month after miui 10 update...phone heats up a lot when charging as compared to miui 9...front camera now isnt good...if you plan on getting this phone...have a screen protector installed...5 months of use and my screen has some visible scratches...more scratches than my motorola nexus 6 more than 3 yrs with no screen protector.

  • My phone auto updated to MIUI 10 from 9.6. The front camera pictures don't have good detail at all. Picture quality of front camera is really bad after MIUI 10 update.

  • When will they post a new update? miui10 is not so good right now

  • I am using this phone for 1 week. My opinion is that it good phone, but with compare to samsumg their display quality really great. My last samsung phone was j7 pro, it was provided me two sim card slot and dedicated sd card slot. it has limitations. this fornt camera doesn't capture good picture and in the night it is blinking.

  • Maybe your eyes are too problematic~ XD

  • Maybe his eyes was defect~ :v

  • So, you said if we buy it from the other online store it means dat phone fake?! Are you kidding me?? :v

  • Me too~ Sometimes in some color backgroud it has image retention~ Just like my LG V20.. I dunno why it happening..

  • Which one is true? QuickCharge 2.0 or QuickCharge 3.0? Redmi Note 5 AI on the official Xiaomi website of Indonesia says that this phone only supports QuickCharge 2.0, but in GSMarena said it was QuickCharge 3.0.. I use a Mi 5 charger that supports QuickCharge 3.0, it still feels slow charging.. Only the logo that displays the QuickCharge logo but still it makes no difference using the standard charger from the sales package..

  • Where is the step detector?

  • yes it does

  • I can but with GFX tool... It can easily run hd graphics but due to poor software optimization, it only limited to balanced graphics...

  • Hello does this phone support PUBG mobile in HD graphics

  • i have a probleme!! my redmi note 5 can't save the new contact in my sim card, and an error massage apear another probleme is that the list of the contact of my card sim is not find and it show me that i have no contact in my sim card...please help me😢

  • Ive been using this phone for almost a month now (Global version 4GB/64GB) and i have to say its a really great phone , i didnt regret buying it at all !! its too good for the price , and here's my opinion about it . Pros : - Build quality : its solid and feels premium in the hands - Cameras : both cameras are amazing they take sharp beautiful phtos full of details - Performance : its amazing , phone is so fast and snappy , no lag at all , it can handle anything Battery life : im in love with this battery , i use this phone every day from 8 am until 11pm and i always get 35% or 40 % left its amazing !! - Speaker : it produce a loud sound with an acceptable quality Cons : the things i didnt like about this phone are 2 : 1st is the design , dont get me wrong , this phone is so beautiful but its flat and very slippery , im always scared if it falls of my hands , i use it very very carefuly , i wish they have done something about it, this phone is hard to handle with one hand 2nd : the sofware !!! tis is the biggest problem with this phone and other XIAOMI phones , i hate the MIUI , they always updating it to fix bugs but they create other problems or remove cool feaures , plus you cant remove system apps like the default music/video player or the browser , its so frustrating , especiall after what they did with the last update MIUI 10 , the camera isnt good like it used to be and almost all themes arent compatible ... Conclusion: This phone is definitely worth buying especially for its price , its getting so cheap now on eglobalcentral its 166$ theres nothing wrong with it it works perfect , i just wish they take more care about the software and stop updating it too much

  • That's because this phone has 4,000 mah battery capacity. Those phones that charge only for 1 and a half hour have only about 3k+ mah battery.

  • MIUI 9.5 is by far the best in terms of battery efficiency up to now.

  • I have problem with themes.it doesnt open and it says no available connection.am i the only who has this?

  • I love my phone, mister. I really do. Everyday tasks, with Snapdragon 636, blazing fast, no problem at all. Battery? no problem. It gets better after 2 or 3 days after the MIUI10 update. Daylight and low light shots? Very good. 1080p 30fps with EIS? Crisp and beautiful. The ONLY drawback is its 1080p 60fps. Its supersmooth but the video is dark. I just want to know IF everybody faces the same problem. I don't complaint much. Hopefully, there will be another minor update to fix this issue. Other than that, this phone, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera, is superb.

  • Not yet... Only updates can fix this

  • Yeah it is sufficient But the fhd 1080p@60fps is too dark compared to thed fhd 1080p@30fps Is there any settings to get clear video

  • After upgrading to MIUI 10, the phone works well, but the battery runs faster and gets warmer. The longest battery life was MIUI 9.5. What to do?

  • Anyone facing the issue the display screen of Redmi Note 5 will auto dim when watching FB video? (not happen when watching Youtube) Any setting or solution to fix this?

  • after miui 10 phone really smooth but battery decreased

  • He is not lying mister... I'm also facing these problems indoor video 1080p at 60fps is too dark and battery life is decreased after miui 10... But overall after miui 10 phone becomes very good and smooth

  • there is a slow motion video option, although limited to 720p at 120fps which is the limit of snapdragon 636 slo-mo capability

  • is there any way to update the music app only to previous version? the new version in miui10 is bothering!!

  • OMG that update didnt give you anything but sorrow and agony. Then reset it back to factory setting if mui9is better for you. And don't ever update your phone nextime.

  • What about the slow motion

  • Back portrait is awesome and front is only software based so, don't expect too much but it's fine... In good lighting it's good

  • Same issues

  • Guys please help, my Redmi Note 5 cant get Miui 10 updates, im currently on Miui 9.6 Stable. So what will be the reason for it.. Thanks in Advance

  • I just updated to the latest MIUI 10. The Full HD 60fps recording is bad, it looks dark. Battery life is not very good compared to previous version. What happened? Mixed feeling.

  • How is the picture quality of both back camera & front camera?

  • YAaahhhhhhhh Display setting tap to wireless display

  • I'm on miui 9.5.19.0 Ican't download miui 10 update, after a while it stop and start from 0% again showing this " something went wrong, please try again later". Another thing .. I can't find the message alert repeat option.. and what about vibration can i change its intensity?? Please someone help ❤️❤️­🙏

  • Why hesitate? I couldnt find any faults after upgrading to mui 10. As in zero negative comments. If you believe those trolls here. All you get is agony

  • Guys, I really need your help. I receives an update for MIUI V10.0.1.0.OEIMIFH Stable. So, how was the update? I heard that the battery drained quickly as compared to MIUI9. Please, can someone here give us your review regarding the MIUI10 update, especially Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera. I'm from Malaysia.

  • use jet audio if you love high volume music ...tweak sm jet settings and it will doubled the audio level

  • anyone facing image retention problem on redmi note 5 Ai

  • I bought it from shopee. Battery performance has gotten a lot better after a couple of weeks. Battery drain rate is acceptable now. Only issues left are theme incompatible and earphone jack output volume still low, even after switch region to Hong Kong.

  • Everything looks great in miui 10 except camera ...its opening time is too long and still sm lags in camera

  • Sure, go ahead and update it. my phone has no problem running it and the experience is also smoother :)

  • miui 10 update is good. im satisfied when i using that latest update

  • ooh :(

  • is your mobile official or unofficial one??

  • i bought this phone yesterday and it's on 9.5.13.0 version.I'm confused whether to update to miui10 or not!! many said they are facing prblms with battery & camera!! I like my current version.will there be any prblm if i don't update?

  • So almost 20 GB free space available right?

  • 22 GB only too short

  • about 10gb used

  • Screem mirroring is possible with this phone?

  • How much free space in 3/32 GB version?

  • Thanks a lot sir.

  • No...

  • In short if you want better multitasking then go for 4GB variant otherwise 3GB is enough for daily task... Heavy apps like games will reload in 3GB variant if you'll resume them after some time...

  • What's the best? AI or PRO?

  • Did someone get another update?

  • 64 GB, 4/6 GB RAM or 32 GB, 3 GB RAM? Any problems in work rate by the "32 GB, 3 GB RAM"-model than the one with 64 GB, 4/6 GB RAM? Is it worth to pay little money for the variant with 32 GB, 3 GB RAM or it will be mistake?

  • Ok thanks.after upgrade my phone in miui 10 i have some issues with themes.it doesnt open in new themes..it says your connection failed,but i am connected proberly.does anyone else facing the same problems?

  • Android 9 update not expected for standard Note 5 Redmi Note 5 AI is eligible for Android 9 (having launched with Android 8.1 pre-installed)

  • Probably not, since redmi phones usually get only one Android version update.

  • Redmi Note 5 Ai camera is tad better than the Pro version. AI version is for China and Global while Pro is only for India market.

  • until now it's not clear on me, whats the difference between Redmi Note 5 AI and Redmi Note 5 pro please tell me Thanks.

  • I think it was charger problems

  • I have no problem so far with MIUI 10. The battery even lasts longer than MIUI9.

  • I am not facing any problem like that .

  • Battery consumes significantly faster after upgrade to MIUI 10.0.1. It reduced from 100 to 50++ over 9 hours for moderate usage. Previous version 9.6.4 would've remain 70 to 80% for the same amount of usage

  • Does anyone knows if that phone will get andoid p;because as i read its not sure

  • No...

  • does this phone have any touch or screen issue.???

  • Search "region" in the phone's settings...

  • MIUI 10 has no issues so far

  • I changed to HK but the vol level is still the same as before.

  • In Settings->Additional Settings->Region

  • Hai all mi user, just want to know.. Is there any battery issue after updated to miui 10? Thank you.

  • Is there any option to change region?

  • For better loud audio, change phone's region to India or Hong Kong..

  • Yes i observed charging time is a bit high..after update...but everything is now improved

  • hi all. i have updated to miui 10. now charging the battery is like 9-33% it took 2 hours. please help

  • Everything is good except for the headphone jack volume output. Volume is very low even at 80%, which never happen on my previous redmi note 3 pro. Recently upgraded from miui 9 to miui 10 but issue is not solved. Now I wish I can downgrade back to miui 9 coz miui 10 consume battery a little bit faster and almost incompatible with all theme in theme store

  • Yes it is. Got update 2 days ago.

  • China version of this mobile can support Global LTE 4G support or not ???

  • ...even at night lol. Bruh u need to get ur eyes checked by the iPhone doctor

  • Battery timig is still fine but as compare to miui 9, it decreased...

  • Your phone is faulty, there is not an issue like that... display is too bright to see even under hot sun and minimum brightness can be also too low to nights... so everything related that is pretty good in miui 9 and even in miui 10...

  • This phone has crtical disadvantage which brightness, it's impossible to see under 50% even at night, and at 100% at sunlight you could hardly see the screen, I want to buy this phone but this disadvant. makes me confused about that, So is it hardware issue or software, if it's software, is it solved in MIUI 10 or not ? Thanks in advance

  • Is MUIU 10 is available on redmi note 5 AI (chinese)?

  • the rear camera's on Mi 8 Lite, Redmi Note 6 Pro & Redmi Note 5 AI are the exact same

  • Huawei is okay, they are most likely offer competitive price with great features. But just one things, Huawei it self collects its user's personal data for suspicious use. This has been claimed by Mark which he was confess that Facebook secretly has somewhat collaboration with Huawei regarding user personal data for unknown reason. As samsung go for their flagship only. Entry level and midrange from samsung are horrible quality with overpriced. Though my J3pro 2017 still fine.. haha

  • Was it true that the screen rotation, compass and GPS are broken?

  • I m still on miui 9.6.4 stable update...when will i get 10

  • Is 9.6.4 stable rom better than 9.6.3 in terms of battery life and overall baterry life?

  • I got MIUI 10.0.1.0 yesterday for this model and i am in Europe. Thats a MIUI 10 Global version and not beta

  • Try to reset phone settings or factory reset...

  • i just bought RN5AI..my bluetooth is always on and i can't turn it off.. any solution on how to fix this? my MIUI version is 9.5.6.0.. i did not update it yet..

  • Hey guys, tiny problem here but it matters to me, the printing option of this phone in the settings is a bit buggy, it can never detect my printer at home and office printer either through WiFi or usb OTG. But if I print directly from a webpage it immediately prints. Problem is on this Reddit thread:

  • Dude someone told me the same, and I said hell no, this is a Xiaomi, phone is superb even kinda water resistant, I don't know how, but phone spend all night wet and dripping in water and plugged into charger, when I picked it up, it was still working smooth, just speaker a bit em... like bad, after I made sure it was dry it recovered after an hour, only thing that got affected was fast charging, when I plugged it to a QC3.0 charger, it just charge normally, not QC anymore. Still amazing phone for the price.

  • Me too. Everybody when he see my phone first says wow you got iphone x. I have being using it for 3 week and everything is wow.I tried to find any problem but there isn't. I recommend everybody to leave Samsung Huawei and whatever and to come to the new world of xiaomi. When you use xiaomi phone you think it's not an andoid phone.my next phone will be xiaomi too.

  • Im using this phone for 2 weeks now, its a beast , everything is perfect, i got it at a very low price on eglobalcentral Europe, 170 € for the 64GB 4GB Global version... its so smooth and fast , i got no complains at all

  • Can someone explain why the display on this phone is so dark, I mean dim? I have to put on the maximum to see, and even than it's not enough? Is it hardware issue?

  • no problem on my device

  • clear your RAM. probably a bitchy background app

  • When you got this update9.6.5?

  • I have 4gb 64gb global version. It's almost 4 months so far so good. But I experienced some heating while charging. According to the CPU-Z app, when it connected to the charger, heat is raising extra 8C. Is that only for me or everyone? Is that normal? I don't have much experience in mobile phones. Especially not with Xiaomi. So I charge only 20 mins and then I disconnect from the charger so it can cool down.

  • I agreed

  • 9.6.4

  • YES

  • I didn't find any problem .

  • I am useing MIUI 9.6.5 my location is in Bangladesh

  • no but u can use mi fit band and sync with ur phone.

  • The best phone that i ever use in this price range. My location is in bangladesh, but can't use face unlock, but if i change my location to india than i can use face unlock. How can i fix that?

  • Is there a step counter on this phone?

  • 9.5 is good

  • When will we get..9.6.5

  • Yes...

  • this 5 ai has usb-otg ?

  • How can I stop Android update I don't want to update it but usually after a few days it would happen. And there is know any options for make disable system update. Please if you know any other way or app let me know. Thanks

  • I heard there were some camera issues & sound problem while using earphone, are those problems solved yet with updates? or are those hardware problem?

  • Already checked on Aliexpress and they are only selling the global version.

  • yes it is. and dont mistaken with the PRO version. better get this version. for the price, this is the best, my daily driver beside the pixel and htcu11+, because of the dual sims really help me.

  • thanks

  • in china and india you may called it note 5 ai. in my country and neighborhood country this phone is called redmi note 5 pro. its basically the same phone with your note 5 pro with the camera is the only different thing. sorry if i get you misunderstand.

  • Is this phone worth buying?

  • Do not update to 9.6... 9.5.19 is far better l, I did this mistake

  • Just change your country/ region to India or Hong Kong/ US. Let me kow if it worked.

  • Look at AliExpress, maybe you can find it there

  • Which miui is better in terms of battery life 9.5.19 or 9.6.4 ?...i am currently on 9.5.19

  • can't download /change the screen themes. anyone knows solution?

  • I'm in Kenya. Where can I buy the version with support for band 28 (700Mhz) outside of Taiwan?

  • Soon

  • When will we get miui 10 update?

  • You are spouting nonsense. This ai is different from the pro variant they differ in camera aspect in which note 5 ai is much better

  • Note 5 began to support bluetooth aptx standart in 9.6.3 upgrade also.

  • No it is a safety question for preventing hearing damage. just confirm and you can 3 levels higher

  • i have this device but its having the global rom but its CHINA version device unlocked boot loader is there any issues in this plz do the need full because i am facing small issue in whats app back up it says that i am in roaming and it ask me to connect to WIFI but other this are working properly and the box also is writen in chines also mannual

  • I want to buy this phone. The review says that the audio quality is low when headphones are plugged. Is this a hardware issue or can this be resolved by software update, or by downloading an app on playstore?

  • i am using this mobile for one month front camera is working fine but when i switch to rear camera the interface not same like as natural it is like a blury and the potrait mode hanging for 6 seconds please give me a solition sorry for my bad english

  • Hi, yes agree the font camera is good , but when you use video calling with the third party app, like facebook , whatapp , skype... than you will quality of that video/image how is it while do video calling... I am own this this device ...

  • Yes, I have tested with Huawei Quick Charger 9v 2a... When QC 3.0 is detected you'll see circle around the charging sign which is on the left side of battery sign...

  • Is this phone really supports Quick charge 3.0 Please confirm by those who have tested with USB tester...???

  • If you want to stop the sneaky 4% battery drainage overnight, turn off the automatic data sync. Then you'll see the battery level is fatlined

  • I'm facing the same blurry issue in front camera and it overexposed the images...

  • Idk about that thin line on screen but about the auto-rotate, when you mark the option auto rotate will go off, when its unmarked it will be on. Thats just how it works

  • this phone is basically the redmi note 5 pro because the naming in India and China is messed up. and it has the best camera on its price range, none of its competitor can compete in camera area and with the 1.9 aperture and 1.44pixel size the low light result is amazing for a budget device. also it has the same dual pixel autofocus like galaxy S7, so autofocus is very fast and most your photo wont be blurry. it also has the best stabilization for its price. see the reviews on youtube for more proof on the camera result.

  • amazing image for its budget, dont trust other negative comment about the camera. this phone has dual pixel af, and this is the phone that has the best camera for its price range and insane stabilization. go to youtube for more reviews

  • Imag produce so urgly and blurry

  • This device has front camera bug while doing video calling with Skype face book and another social app . I am not sure if other face the same problem. I am on latest version 9.

  • Buy chinese rom instead of global😁

  • Agreed, just received 9.6.4.0 this morning.

  • How can i get update actually ? for me the last update is 9.6.3 :(

  • I'm not lying global beta wihout google play install which is chinese rom already got the update yesterday

  • It's beta, not stable... Stop lying

  • After updated to miui 10 stable rom theres no longer camera issue and theres boost in phone performance and battery also last longer than usual

  • go for the Note 5 Ai good UI and design

  • Chipset are the same. Redmi has better cam and Asus has better accu. If ur a heavy gamer you should go for the Asus, although the 4000mAh is a heavy duter too. I personally like the full screen gesture of Xiaomi and was a deal breaker for me

  • Hi guys, I'm confused which should I buy, asus max pro m1 or note 5 ai.. pls tell me the reason. Thanks

  • but bro say between note 5 pro and AI compare and what is best between this

  • Top !

  • MP doesnt matter what AI do is just help/improve bokeh effects and ai beauty mode. If you really need good selfie camera that bad go any Vivo or Nova 3i. But for me the camera already done their job.

  • Whoaah after updated into 9.6.3.0 (global rom) no more issues low volume on earphones. Now its superb!

  • No

  • Thanks for the info, yeah definitely wanted the picture in picture option, I hate when I get a message while at youtube and I have to pause just to get it, its so frustrating, and the split screen option is not viable since make youtube screen so small, cannot watch properly

  • Mine is working great after update, no major changes but definitely smoother than 9.5... Picture in picture is available

  • you ll find 5 differences the cameras focus the android ver. Network body Color price

  • No I have 15 GB storage free . But I restarted the phone now and it works

  • Redmi Note 5 Dual Camera AI has slightly better rear camera specs (bigger pixel size and aperture), but I doubt you'll notice big difference in real world pictures. I would also look at LTE specifications - wherever you come from, you'll need the phone to be compatible with specific 4G bands for your country. Note 5 Pro has somewhat limited LTE coverage. 32/64GB thing is just a matter of your storage needs, whether you make a lot of videos/pictures and how many apps you want to have.

  • Check your storage if full and clear data of camera app...

  • Hello . My xiaomi isn't taking any more videos . Please can anyone help me ?

  • Redmi note 5 AI has little bit better cameras, quick charge 3.0 and oreo out of the box... Redmi note 5 AI comes in 3gb/32gb, 4gb/64gb, 6gb/64gb while redmi note 5 pro comes in 4gb/64gb, 6gb/64gb... Redmi note 5 pro specific for India and Redmi note 5 AI is Chinese and global...

  • not all xiaomi but all REDMI lines

  • Can someone help me? I'm very confused about the Redmi Note 5 models.. What are the diferences between the Note 5 Pro and the Note 5 AI? Which one has the better camera? I also saw that those models have 32GB ROM or 64GM, is there as better one? I'm really confused about the existant models of this phone. Please help!

  • Your welcome

  • Ok thx bruh

  • I just bought Redmi Note 5 AI with version 9.5.13 but have 3 issue which I see alot of people complain about 1. Auto Rotate not working 2. Compass not working 3. recording video not working Anyone found the solution?

  • To go phones and press and hold recent button, call settings will be opened now go to incoming call Settings and turn off... Done

  • How do I turn off the flashlight by incoming calls?

  • Huawei is also Chinese brand and P20 pro is the world's best camera phone, oppo is also Chinese which has great selfie cameras and oneplus is a sub brand of oppo wo don't don't blame on Chinese products... For you knowledge redmi note 5 AI has superior rear camera than Galaxy S7 Edge... As I told you my phone's front camera has no clearity if you take pictures from near but if you will take picture from a distance, it has clearity, I think it's not focung on near objects thats why pictures becomes blurry type... Is there any solution or is it a hardware problem?? Or this is normal for everyone??

  • I write from this phone. Camera don't have clarity like Samsung or anothers good phones. It's normal. Never can compare Mercedes-Benz with FIAT or DACIA Logan. If Xiaomi is japanesse, it's good; but it's chinese. I buy this phone for big display, large battery, RAM and for 64gb memory; but not for camera. All Xiaomi brands don't have a good camera.

  • Front camera is so smooth, lack of details... like it's not focusing on the near object... Camera doesn't capturing details... All fine when you take felfie from the distance... Is this a hardware problem??

  • This cam can beat s8 xperia all series and iphone 8 and even s9 in some sinarios...tremendous cam

  • as per my test, on global rom the face unlock works only if you choose India as your region, tried many other regions but the face unlock setting disappears

  • How fast is the charging time using qc charger comapre to stock charger?

  • do you mean galaxy s8?

  • Yes it does support QC 2.0 and 3.0 both... For QC 3.0 you need Quick charger 9v 2a

  • I hv used mate 10 and s8 and now using this ...i hv to say that this has one of the best camera i hv ever seen in my life...superb ....moreover i can play wwe 13 on dolphin at 30 to 24fps ....excellent...no word for this beauty

  • Does the AI model support QC 2.0 n QC3.0? Is there any differences using stock charger n qc charger?

  • Don't go for the ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 as it has issues such as a sloppy fingerprint scanner and ping.

  • Yes it does but if you change your region to india

  • Mine came with it (China version)

  • Depend what you need. Neck to neck to 3/32GB and 4/64GB. XN5 AI is the overall better package. It does support QC3.0, IR blaster, dual band WiFi. It only loose out on 4000mah battery, hybrid sim slot, and maybe MIUI itself, which is not a lose point either. ASUS Zenfone Max Pro will be the enthusiast phone, which true triple slot sim slot, which is dual sim 4G standby together with independent micro sd card slot, 5000mah bigger battery, and pure Android (not exactly vanila)

  • Does it have Face unlock already? or none yet?

  • Yes, mostly referring to camera functions and face unlock.

  • Why is it called AI? Does it stand for artificial intelligence?

  • Yeah it should be normal

  • Yes

  • miui global 9.5 | stable 9.5.19.0 (oeimifa)

  • Which global stable version u hv guys......?

  • is there an ir blaster on this phone?

  • Good point on the pixel size, it's usually more important than pixel count for image quality.

  • It is normal for the battery to consume 6% per hour of surfing the internet .. even though the power saving mode and flight mode are activated??

  • Thank you! I tried Camera MX which captures more details than it's own stock camera app...

  • You will get some miui update soon. Install them, your problem will be solved

  • Redmi Note 5 AI best choise

  • In my own opinion, Pro Max 1 has higher battery storage at 5000mah and is slight bigger than Note 5 AI. Pro Max 1 doesn't have Gorilla Glass protection while Noted 5 AI has. They are likely similar in regards with the specifications. There's a big difference when it comes to the price. In my case, I bought Redmi Note 5 AI. No regrets, I love it!

  • I just bought this phone yesterday and front camera is caputring soft images without beauty mode, there is no details image is blurry type soft... Is this fault or not?? Help fast

  • be sure max pro m1

  • I'll fully confused between XN5 Ai and zenphone max pro m1.please give me a suggestion

  • Thank you very much for your reply. I'm ok with the LTE bands. But when they flash global rom into the Chinese varient phone, will it cause problems due to some incompatibility with the rom? Like force stopping of some apps, camera problems etc.? OR after flashing the global rom into Chinese varient phone, will it be as similar as the global version phone? If so, I can buy Chinese version with global rom instead of the global version to save some bucks. Regards

  • @Ruba89: Global ROM usually means it is intended for for use in China. It does not have FDD-LTE band 4 and 20 used by your country's providers. It may prevent you being able to use LTE in your country. Find "Global Version Introduction Why Do We Choose Global Version Redmi 4X Xiaomi Mi A1 Redmi Note 4 Redmi 5 Plus" in Aliexpress or go to this Aliexpress explanation page showing the difference between versions:

  • Hi guys. AliExpress is selling redmi note 5 AI two versions on there website. One is Redmi note 5 AI GLOBAL version (yes not pro version. Earlier I thought the only global version is the redmi note 5 PRO) and the redmi note 5 AI Chinese version with official global rom. Are there any difference guys? Any compatibility issues? Because RN5 AI China one with global rom is bit cheaper to buy. Thanks

  • On Pro vs. AI cameras Note Pro cameras Main: 12 MP, f/2.2, 1.25µm, PDAF 5 MP, f/2.0, 1.12µm, depth sensor Selfie: 20 MP, f/2.2, 1/2.8", 1µm Note AI cameras Main: 12 MP, f/1.9, 1.4µm, dual pixel PDAF 5 MP, f/2.0, 1.25µm, depth sensor Selfie: 13 MP, f/2.0, 1.12µm Despite the larger Pro's selfie camera pixel count (20 vs 13 MP), AI's selfie camera would likely produce better pictures because of the larger pixel size (1.12 µm vs 1 µm). Larger pixel size produce less noise and can capture more light, giving advantage when taking pictures in the dark. AI also have a larger max. aperture (f/2.0 vs f/2.2 - in aperture terms: smaller number = larger aperture) which allows more light in. That's another advantage for taking picture where there is less light available. The same goes for the main cameras, with AI having larger pixel sizes and max. apertures for both the 12MP and 5MP cameras. It also also dual pixel PDAF, which is more reliable in tracking movements compared to standard PDAF.

  • After 5 days use this phone here is my personal opinion: Pros: 1)Superb phone for its price! Great performances for midrange games. Has testing Asphalt 9, Asphalt Offroad, Mobile Legend and PUBG Mobile. Heavy graphic still got 30fps without stutter. 2)The batteries durable is also a BEAST! 3)Camera is beautiful although it is not the best. 4)Default installed apps are useful. No unnecessary or stupid apps are installed. 5)Overall Im enjoyed using this device! Cons: 1)Default media apps from Xiomi are very disappointed. Need to use other alternatives media apps like Rocket Players to mp3. Same goes for to other Xiomi media like video player. 2)Video editing apps are too plain and less features. Same goes to my J3 Pro 2017 but my J3 Pro do better video editing than Redmi Note 5 AI. More worst is Xiomi is suggesting to install Kine Master for pro editing, which must manually installed through Play Store which offered very less features and very low quality export, yet keep show adds. Xiomi should make agreement or corporation with KineMaster (also other video cutting apps) to make video editing pros tool installed. But too bad this will end up increase the price for this cheap budget beast. :( 3)Camera Pro mode aren't pro at all. Very less, less, and LESS PRO tool! Just offering 2 edit features are not pro at all. My silly Oppo Neo 5s offer more better on Pro mode. Also my J3 Pro. 4)Sound are not high enough through earphone even at max volume and with Xiomi sound enhancement turned all. Overyall as stated im enjoying my phone, for now. Will update my review and opinion later.

  • xiaomi note 5 Ai selfie win compare to mi 8, mi A2a and redmi 6

  • Change the region setting into India (you might need setup clock manually).

  • From what I have used for Xiaomi phone before which also support QC 3.0 (such as Mi Max, Mi Max 2), Xiaomi takes a conservative approach on QC. The potential of QC 3.0 or QC 2.0 are at maximum 18W, but Xiaomi limit the maximum wattages to only 15W only, then when battery is charged over 60%, it limits the QC to only 10W, then after 80%, it limit to only 5W, which is the same to normal charging speed. Yes, this doesn't actually speed up the overall charging time, but with QC, at least before battery is up to 60%, it actually charge much faster than normal charging, but after that, it will start to slow down. This approach I think is to reduce overheat while charging, and also protect the battery. So, QC 3.0 or QC 2.0 still worth to invest if you want really quick charge the phone to quickly charge up around 60%. I also did tested the Qualcomm QC charger from very cheap non-branded charger up to those very expensive brand from Anker, Aukey, Tronsmart, LDNIO, UGreen, Adaptive Charger from Samsung, Xiaomi power bank that support QC, car charger with QC 3.0, all perform similarly regardless of brand and price. So just buy the cheap one will do. The original charging cable from Xiaomi in the box already support QC. Or can buy any branded micro usb cable such as from LDNIO, Pineng, Remax, and Pisen.

  • Even if QC 3 doesn't seems to charge it quicker, I cannot see any real difference, battery is so big, it doesn't matter, I'm used to charge it overnight, so even if I forget to plug it it at night, I know I will have enough juice left for the next day no problem.

  • I have the 3GB version, and so far I don't face any issue, I would say if you multitask a lot then you might want more ram, but I get to do my stuff enough with 3GB, I use around 2-3 apps at the same time, and I don't feel any slowdown or anything, however I have not tried playing PUGB so far on the device, but I don't feel I will have any issue with it. Also since phone can take a SD card then there is not real difference between 32GB and 64GB.

  • Yes I luv the 4000mAh batts too. In standby the percentage just stays constant. Normally QC has effect on lower percentage and when it gets fully charged, it's slows down very hard, coming together with the stock charging. but if you say it takes 2hrs overall then it's useless to buy the 3.0

  • Thx. good to know I don't have to buy the QC 4.0

  • Does the xaomi redmi note 5 ai 3gb ram 32gb rom face problem with performance because of the 3gb ram?

  • It has a dual cam, but for camera purposes I would take a Mi A2.

  • It's the global version, so you can use it in EU!

  • Is there FACE unlock feature?

  • Well I have a QC 3 charger from a Leeco device and I tried for several days, however I don't see any difference, it takes the same, around 2 hours for a full charge, but battery life is awesome, after a full charge, i give it around 3-4 hours of watching videos online, then standby for 8h while i go to work, at night watch online videos for 1-2 hours and still got like 40% on the same charge, could still use it for another day, if give it light usage.

  • yes the chipset itself support QC 4.0 but vendors must buy dedicated circuit & license from Qualcomm to use that technology, that's meaning more cost. Even Qualcomm's chip is very popular in vendors & Android world but for now just one device is known to support QC 4.0, that's Razer Phone

  • Yes this is the Global version

  • Anyone knows if the Quick Charge 3.0 works on this device? SD636 should support QC 4.0 though

  • can i use this phone in Europe?

  • If I not mistaken Redmi Note 5 pro is made and only for India. But I could be wrong. Note 5 pro got 20mp pic, should be produce better images. Try look gsmarena page about redmi note 5 pro instead.

  • I mean "(not pro)". Sorry for typo though.

  • Never know about Redmi 5 pro things, but I believe Mi A2 has better camera and performances. And yes this Redmi Note AI (note pro) do have portraits mode. I dont known about Apple's portraits quality but Im so satisfied with portraits mode from Redmi Note 5 AI.

  • Yea theres global room. Im using it right now.

  • How can you tell the model for Taiwan that also has LTE bands 2 and 4?

  • Is xiaomi note 5 ai global ROM??without note 5 pro I want to know only note 5 ai

  • anybody got miui 9.6.2.0 in Bangladesh?

  • What's good everybody?? I want a good phone but my main choose is the CAMERA QUALITY which phone do you suggest me ? I have looked up to Mi A2 , Note 5 pro, Note 5 pro dual camera or other ? By the way does this phone have a portrait mode like iphone etc??

  • Great camera, huge battery, fast processor etc... Really good value for money!

  • If you choose j6, it means you buy only the brand samsung. note5 has bigger screen biger battery, better cameras, better Bluetooth, more sensors, metal body, much better chipset and gpu.

  • no Philippines in the LTE connection?

  • Samsung j6 and xiaomi note 5 AI which is best for bangladesh.

  • I mean "redmi note 5 pro" sory..

  • Can anyone tell me which one is better "redmi note 5 AI dual cam" or "redmi note 4 pro" ? Why?

  • Can i update miui10 on my mi note 5 ai device??

  • good news ANDROID P UPDATE Official (Xiaomi Note 5 /PRO) will getting Android P

  • Iphone se has better performance, whereas note 5 has much better camera, battery life and has bigger screen Personally i'd definitely go for note 5 because i don't like IOS (Note that iphone se is 2 years old)

  • Yes, it will, I have one working perfectly for more than 2 months now, so go ahead and buy it you won't regret it.

  • Do it has gmail contact sync??or gmail sms resote from backup..how to i find out

  • From which country you are?

  • Xiaomi redmi note 5. No doubt.

  • Just got updated to 9.6.2.0 global stable. It's for system optimization and bug fix.

  • will the RN5 AI work perfectly in Nigeria please anyone

  • redmi note 5 AI dual camera or iphone se?

  • Hi! Can anyone tell me if the font CAN be changed in this phone whether it's on GLOBAL or CHINESE ROM? Thanks!!!

  • I agree with the speaker issue playing in Landscape view, my fingers tend to block the speaker (right side) but overall gaming experience is great, no overheating or lag issue.

  • change to hong kong also can

  • yes sure. I have tried mouse, keyboard and usb

  • Just change your region to India then the face unlock will appear at the settings

  • Do anyone get AI scene detection in camera on the global rom?

  • I just realized that the change in placement of the front camera from the right in RN3/RN4 to the left in RN5 actually makes a significant difference in selfie posture. Holding the camera with the right hand (using volume button as snapper) and looking at the camera, the posture would be chin-up with RN3/RN4, but now it's chin-down with RN5, which sucks! Xiaomi fixed what ain't broke, and now it's broke.

  • 2 mate 10 lite = 1 Note 5 (Twice as powerful, better camera and almost twice the battery timing) Now you choose Thank me later

  • Are you mad? Mate 10 lite is nowhere near to this beast.. Let me tell you why 1- Note 5 Snapdragon 636 is 2 times more powerful than crap kirin 2- Better battery 3- Much better camera almost flagship level with Ai 4- A much better display And so many things

  • does it support with USB OTG?

  • Thank u. Till which version I can update without getting affected by anti rollback

  • View 10 should be your first priority. Then RN5 AI and then Samsung Note 5.

  • Stable miui 10 ?!

  • I also want to know

  • Huawei 10 lite gat a better screen display.. Xiaomi note 5 gat a better battery.. both phones are great.. chose anyone

  • Plz tell ne which to buy..Honor View 10,Galaxy Note 5 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro

  • Yup note 5 ai is also affected unfortunately

  • Should I update this phone to MIUI V9.5.19.0.OEIMIFA /Stable 448M

  • Should I update this phone to MIUI V9.5.19.0.OEIMIFA

  • I don't know about you guys, but I think xiaomi cheaped out on the build quality of the redmi note 5 pro(India variant) as compared to the dual ai camera(global version). The note 5 pro screen completely shatters and become unusable after a drop from chest height while the global variant does not. Also if the fingerprint scanner on the note 5 pro is badly scratched, it will not detect fingerprints anymore, different story in the global version, it still recognizes fingerprints even if you scratch it with knife or keys. I don't know, is this true? The zenfone max pro build quality as far as I know is similar between Indian and global variants. Meaning to say it survives a drop from chest height, no case or screen protector.

  • My opinion about this phone after buy and use it Perfomance=9/10.very good.no lag,no heating issues, don't Have any problem. Camera=9.5/10.can beat oppo,vivo and also iphone.the Is just amazing and I didn't expect this. Battery=9/10.I can use it from morning to midnight with one Charge.very satisfied. Speaker=7.5/10.not very clear but it's okay to me Price=10/10.very very affordable with what you get. Overall=9.5/10.please buy this phone.it is amazing midrange Phone.

  • thanks

  • When battery will indicate its 100% then remove charger. No more extra time.

  • today I bought my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera . how many hours should I let it in charge for the first time ? please response soon

  • Someone please help me. Note 5 pro is affected with anti rollback. Does the global version of Note 5 AI has the same problem?

  • Does 9.5.19 has anti roll back feature?

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is better: - Newer, faster and more power-efficient processor and GPU. - Considerably bigger battery - More updates (since it was released after the Mate 10 Lite) - More value for money

  • Agree that the availability in countries differ. But Note 5 AI Dual Camera is better than Note 5 Pro in terms of Camera Apertures both main & selfie. Also the Android Versions. Rest all same.

  • Hello. Huawei Mate 10 lite or Xiaomj Note 5 ?? Who is better pls?

  • I have Note 5 AI (global version), but the camera it's not better (12+5 & 13). You should buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro.

  • great smartphone in a simple budget.

  • 6gb or 3/4gb ram? which is correct?

  • Anybody facing issues with the screen ? Like the deadpixels problem , ghosting problem , sometimes unresponsive touch ?

  • Reading this comment use Xiaomi Redmi Note 3g, i have been used this phone for 3 years, good job xiaomi

  • Redmi Note 5 AI have brighter rear camera lens @ 1.9 aperture

  • no note 5 pro has 20 mp selfie and ai has 13 mp selfie main camera is the same

  • AI is better in camera

  • Mine is not. When u play games or run camera keeping on mobile data it can be heat.

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI dual camera or Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ? Which should I buy ?

  • This is actually the same phone as Note 5 Pro in India. Note 5 AI Dual Camera is just name change for China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, & Thailand market only.

  • This phone have heating problem?

  • Go for it. I have bought it and I am so happy that I choose this one over competitors. Once you use this brand you will forget trying other brands.

  • Where is face unlock option? already i have recived miui 9.5.19. anybody got face unlock?

  • Already have dude

  • Got this phone .. wanted to know about when is face unlock arriving for this phone

  • Is this a good purchase? I'm between this one, Nokia 6.1 or Huawei Mate 10 Lite

  • sure snapdragon 636 support project treble to enable for android 9.0 update

  • Xiaomi does not enable project treble tho

  • Good Updates. july 21 2018 i was updated , working fine!

  • Update OTA 9.5.19 fix all problem. Don't update OTA 9.5.17 many problem i got notification this is unofficial ROM ini screen monitor and can't delete that issue, after update OTA 9.5.19.0 fix all problem hahaha.. thanks Xiaomi team.

  • Update OTA 9.5.19 fix all problem. Don't update OTA 9.5.17 many problem i got notification this time unofficial 😂🤣

  • turn on full screen option

  • how im buy thish phone - it available in india - it not available in india so which date launching

  • I have the redmi note 5 gl.edition and i can say is very good phone.before that phone i had huawei p10 lite and i gave it to my wife..p10 lite and after receiving oreo update,comparing on camera pictures with my redmi has more intensively colors than my phone and in front camera gets more details for 8 mp camera.i am impressed with the quality pics of that phone

  • Yep no problems, there was even an update after that one and so far everything is great.

  • I bought this last night and this is the best midrange phone so far. Color black looks so sexy. I wonder if anyone who updated the OTA 9.5.19 update experienced no problems?

  • Maybe in term of warranty? or google installer package or connectivity? otherwise it’s totally good

  • any idea or other issue on china version ?

  • Only headphone jack quality con ...low voice otherwise it has no cons

  • Bought the phone yesterday. I'm really impressed with it's performance.Audio through headphone is below average but I'm hopeful about xiaomi that upcoming update will solve it . Everything is okay but I think note 5 pro is better on rear camera but almost same .It's still a good device for the price . Really a worthy phone to buy .

  • if you want to buy it cheaper then go for chinese version (install google playstore manually)

  • which is better Global version or China ??

  • I'd love to buy the Taiwanese version since it covers the LTE networks my country uses. Can anyone help me finding the version name? For instance, the global version is M14803E7SH

  • I have xiaomi redmi note 5 ai dual camera 3g ram 32 rom global version i don't play games a lot and is enough for me, picture quality is very good the rear camera takes stunning photos in low light and also true the day, front camera also takes really good photos two the days and low light is very vivid and true colors portrait mode is good, loud speaker is very good but when using headphones is low, display is gorgeous snapdragon 636 is very fast, if you have a xiaomi redmi note 3 pro is it good to upgrade to xiaomi redmi note 5 ai dual camera but if you have xiaomi redmi note 4x dont rush, i have been using from redmi note series from note 3 and note 4x and note 5 is the best smartphone of this year Pros: very good camera Loud speaker Good display full screen without notch Cons: Low sound in headphones

  • sure snapdragon 636 support project treble to enable for android 9.0 update

  • Yes it does with chinese rom but idk what is the feature because it only said optimize system stability and fixed bug the size was 1.6gb tho

  • No me i have 17 u do you have the 22?

  • Have anyone updated this to miui 9.5.22.0?

  • Hey guys is this a project treble phone?

  • Funny coz the buttons tile is included in the toggle but I can't make it to work like in the note 5 pro. Maybe, coz note 5 ai has a newer os out of the box and they are pushing the gestures nav, I think.

  • I think the Chinese version has the 6g ram variant while the global ROM has Google apps installed

  • Which is the better one global or Chinese version?

  • What can I choose the difference from Redmi Note 5 PRO?

  • Hey guys,in note 5 pro there is a soft button hide option for on sreen navigation button, but i cannot find it in my note 5 ai. what about yours? pls reply users of note 5 ai.

  • All I can say is, if you have 9.5.17.0 stable in the updater, install it right away. It has greatly improved my phone's battery performance.

  • This feature is region dependent. Sadly I also don't have it. Though you can enable it, by changing the region in settings. By doing so, it will automatically downloads apps specific to that region.

  • I think you should. Btw, I got mine updated to the latest 9.5.17.0 stable via the updater and what I really noticed is it's improved battery performance. Wish miui 10 is now available via the updater. Don't know how to flash, anyway, hehe.

  • It's the cream of the crop among the redmi note 5 series, for now. (Is there a newest version in the series?)

  • Mine works all the time. But an app force closes from time to time. I don't know why. And the screen has a little scratches here and there though it's sealed when I bought it. I wonder what happened to gorilla glass on this phone.

  • why this phone exist??

  • Good phone,work as it's supposed to,with no problems at all.

  • Is it available in India?

  • Yes.

  • The only problem I encountered in this phone is the unresponsive touchscreen like sometimes it doesn't register the touches and when scrolling instead of a scroll it will tap many times in a sliding direction and I think it gets worse every time but overall phone is good

  • Note 5 ai

  • if you're asking if it is GOOD, yes it is. even better with some of the more expensive phones (not flagship).

  • actually i have both the j7 pro (free from my carrier) and redmi note5 ai. (and mi max). i use the three of them everyday before. but now my choice are note5 ai and mi max only (though i am planning to replace my mi max with max 3) and gave my j7 pro to my wife as this redmi note 5 ai is just better most of the time, even in terms of software. but this is just an opinion from an owner of the two phones.

  • for those who are asking about the camera of this phone, rear and front cams are great and one of the bests among its category and price range. even my friends let me take our group photos especially during night outs, even though they have a more expensive phones. Just don't expect a flagship quality because it is not. you have to shell more money for that. i've been using mine for 2 months already and so far i have not encountered any problems yet.

  • does this device supports usb OTG?

  • I had my old LG Nexus 5 for three and a half years, fell from my pocket and my hands while standing numerous times, and screen never broke. I have this Xaomi for 13 days, it fell out of my pocket today, while sitting, for the first time, and there is a line from the power button to the proximity sensor. I've been keeping it in default case, which is even thicker then the one I've been keeping my old one in, but it's obviously useless.

  • Note 5 AI camera is better Bt portrait mode is not a 100% working Front camera portrait is good Bt rear is not good

  • Hi. Who have this model. Written quick charge 3.0. How minutes need for full charge. 0-100% or 5-95%?? With quick charge 3.0 or quick charge 2.0 charger (original furm not 3-4$)

  • I have been using this phone for 07 days.till now, the phone is just fine for the price. Front and rear camera are very good, good display, great battery, miui running fast and smooth, fast fingerprint, audio department would have been better but its ok. Good job xiaomi.

  • Hi can someone who owns this phone testify for the camera? Is it good?

  • How do you know that? Can you substantiate?

  • It will not fix...becoz it has no 24bit audio chip....

  • Just got mine (blue, 64GB) today. Everything seems quite good except low volume level through 3.5mm jack. I hope Xiaomi will come up with software update to improve the loudness soon.

  • Battery life is great!!!

  • Note 5 Ai is definitely the best choice

  • I just got now the new update 9.5.17.0..

  • Of course j7 pro for you and those who don't know how to differentiate mobiles software processors etc. You know what i mean..

  • Which is better.. note 5 ai or j7 pro vs huawei p10llite?

  • Guys, I got an update called v9.5.17 OEIMIFA.

  • Its a perfect mobile...except in audio deparment..it has no 24 bit audio chip ...so for music lover ..its a curse...

  • Global edition..

  • I dont have any problems, the phone is fantastic for the price

  • Full screen gesture is too poor when u swipe for home menu and recent app. Auto rotation doesnt work sometimes Specially in gaming and mx player. Automatically it rotates though it is off. Sometimes some softwares crash suddenly Do u face these problems? As per as i know this phone is made only for china There is no official global rom for this phone. Xda forum has a global version 9.5.13.0 for this phone. I dont know what is going on with my phone I m not happy with it

  • how is the battery life .does it have battery life like mi a1?

  • is it global rom or chinese rom?

  • Anyone who uses this device please share me how is its camera?? Does it capture clear and crisp picture? I'm thinking to but this. Thank you.

  • I have this phone one month now and im very excited..espesialy now i got my new update, 9.5.14.0 with battery increasing 8 hours more,and with new futures in camera.camera is awsome,it gets very clean and detail pictures duri ng the day,even the night is very good and espesialy when you use flash.in front camera is very good too,and the flash in front helps you get excellent pics in the dark.very nice and big screen with gorilla,very fast,nice themes,face unlock,finger print unlock,all the time updates,i got already 2,what else do you need.it is my first xiaomi phone,and definately not the last.

  • Oppo F7 is better in spite of the fact that i own note 5 Al. But oppo F7 is a lot more expensive so i had to buy note 5 AI Besides there is no big difference between those two phones.

  • Anyone facing problems in full screen gestures? Like it doesn't work if you want to go to home or see recent menu all the time.

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI .

  • What do you need for? Gaming and battery life or camera? If gaming and battery life choose Xiaomi If prefer camera choose oppo. My friend use oppo for gaming is pretty good too. But battery life... You know exactly what I mean

  • Redmi note 5 ai or oppo f7. Help me guys please.

  • This, or Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1? Both are very good budget phones with almost similar spec. Any comments please? Ty

  • The Redmi note 5 will be much better because of new and better technology

  • Should I update to 9.5.13 or let it still on 9.5.6?

  • like what kind of social media bro? IG? FB? TWITTER? well even if you run those 3 at the same time...the processor will just chew it.. ;) coz even games on high fps this phone is still capable of running it day to day!!!

  • for performance surely iphone 6 then the rest goes to note 5 :)

  • Is the 636 processor worth it for social media compared to the 660?

  • whats better xiaomi note 5 ai or iphone 6s plus|? pls thank you

  • Your getting a better camera on the AI variant, Pro variant is for India

  • you can compare both phones side by side and check by yourself.

  • Someone can give me answer please?? I wan to buy a redmi note 5.. But what a different redmi note 5 pro and redmi note 5 a.i?? Which one is better??

  • AI

  • I had buy this phone and in my opinion,it has a problem speaker that is not very clear while watching YouTube.But other than that,this phone is awesome.

  • Which one is better Note 5 AI VS Note 5 Pro ?

  • Isn't it of different class ? Mi# vs Note#

  • What's the difference between standard Note 5 vs Note 5 Pro ? How much faster is the Pro by % wise ? Wondering if it's worth paying for higher price. Main use is for multi-tasking. Not so concerned with camera.

  • Do you think this model is better than Huawei P20 lite and Mate 10 lite? Do you believe Redmi Note 5 will last long in terms of years, like 3 or more years? I don't like to switch to new phone every 2 years.

  • ultra fast, the fastest fingerprint unlock among other phone that i've tried

  • Best choice to replace my old mi4!

  • thank you so much

  • Which is best redmi note 5AI or Oppo F7?? Please clarify. Thanks in adv.

  • thanks

  • Do anyone know the difference between 4G+ netcom edition and full netcom edition of note 5 ai??

  • fast enough for me, not like redmi 4 prime or 4x :)

  • Very fast and always on

  • Is its finger print reader always on and how fast,pls users reply?

  • Does Redmi Note 5 already support 3CA? Please help answer...

  • Nope. It doesn't

  • true but useless

  • Does this phone has NFC?

  • Anyone know how to use bokeyh mode in this phone?

  • About 9-10h, depands on your use. On heavy usage 7-8h

  • Anyone can tell SOT when using this phone

  • Just google "redmi note 5 unlock bootloader" and you will find some pretty good guides. It is not as hard as it seems.

  • I gotta say, i'm not Mi fans but when i bought this phone, its really worth it. I bought the 6GB ram version which cost around $267. Noted that Ai version is NEWER than the Redmi Note 5 PRO which release in previously

  • Is it true?

  • maybe an isolated case or factory defect. better ask for replacement of defective product rather than encouraging everyone not to buy this phone. i have mine with no issue about this screen retentionl

  • note 5 ai is much better indeed.

  • you can't actually lock your phone using fingerprint. it is use to unlock your phone and other apps.

  • Hi guys i just bought this phone...the problem is i cant lock my phone with finger print but i can unlock it with finger print can u guys please tell me why or my finger print is faulty.

  • I buy this phone 1 month ago and i can say that is almost perfect.camera back is awesome,very clear pictures and during the night too.the front camera its good too but not as the main one. dual flash is very good.screen and touch its nice because of the gorila glass,big screen,nice themes,face unlock and fingerprint only if you choose india area.( live in cyprus)..the only disadvantage i found is the audio of music.scratching a little bit and you have to reduce the volume.it has 64gb rom and 4 g ram .in conclusion is much better than phones like p20 lite,lg q7,huawei mate 10 lite,that are much more expensives than this phone.

  • I got stressed how to unlock this thing?

  • It comes with locked bootloader by default. After unlocking, there is an "UNLOCKED" sign every time you restart your phone.

  • Where can we take Miui 10

  • Only for Indian region...

  • Of course Redmi Note 5 Ai

  • Redmi Note 5 Ai battery temperature low that good. i excited Redmi Note 5 Ai android 9.0

  • Guys plz help me..I buy this version of this phone..I has Android 8 and miui 9.5 but I dont found Face ID..Has this version Face ID

  • Liar. This phone's max temp is 40° under heavy usage in hot weather. 😋

  • Redmi 5 ai bro. You can check in google Snapdragon 636 vs kirin 659- Sd636 wins. then also check Adreno509 vs mali t830 mp2. Adreno509 wins.

  • For me xiaomi

  • which phone is better Huawei P20lite or Xiaomi Redmi Note5 AI Dual ?

  • Some camera specs, os... Differ...

  • Hey man is this true? I was planning to buy my first Xiaomi Note phone but concerned with quality / durability.

  • Obviously a I due to its cam sharpness

  • Hi. Now already written quick charge 3.0 is that near right specifications? First was written quick charge 2.0 5v 2a

  • Redmi note 5 ai or nova 2i? Which is better?

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera or Xiaomi Redmi S2 ????

  • Do not buy, I repeat do not buy, I have the phone for barely 2 months and the LCD screen is already suffering severe image retention and burn in. Not to talk about the heating and all the other problems. Now I'm stuck with an inoperable phone

  • so far so good...just a question though...how to know if your redmi note 5 AI has a locked or unlocked bootloader?

  • Does it support qc 3.0?

  • depent on you want watermark or not on camera settings

  • good support 4k on google camera

  • My mi4 game over.I want buy this model as soon as possible.

  • Does photos realy have watermarks?

  • do anybody use google camera in Note 5 AI. Is it better for stock camera???

  • Could be a recently installed (third-party) app. This happened to me on another phone. Otherwise, it seems that MIUI 9 is pretty good at keeping background apps in check. During standby, my battery usage plot is completely flat (i.e. with SIM 1 & 2 radio switched off in 'Testing' menu)

  • Please, can any body tell me what's the difference between Xiaomi resmi 5 Al and Xiaomi Redmond 5 M1803E7SG ?!!

  • One thing about this phone i just dont understand. In order for face id to work you need to set your region to India. Why the hell i need to do that. Why is there a security system in a phone when it's region based. I have pattern to open and cant find a way to make the pattern dots bigger so they would be easier to see on the sun light. Right now i miss few tries to open cause i need to go with the some what location where is that pattern cause i cant see the dots.

  • I own this device since a week ago. the sound is pretty decent, nice and crisp. I use samsung headset to hear the music during daily routine. basicly, the sound is quite good :)

  • pls turn off mobile data, if u already did that then i dunno.

  • I think redmi note 5

  • I also have an aging Redmi Note 3 Pro, and am seriously considering replacing it with this Redmi Note 5 AI. I am also considering the Mi A1.

  • Fast charging is supported. Check YouTube reviews by Chris of Tech Tablets for details.

  • Does it dual 4G VoLTE?

  • Please help me. Everyone is saying headphone sound is not loud enough. I listen to a lot of music. I want to know how bad it is. Please tell me in detail.

  • Cat 12

  • Its a 4000 mAh battery, the fact that it charges in the same time as a Samsung Galaxy S7 with 3000 mAh battery is pretty good.

  • If your concern is the software then go for A1 Other than that go for note 5 AI

  • How to use 9.5.6.0? Currently i'm using 9.5.13.0

  • this phone note 5 AI wil get miui 10 !!!!

  • I mean 1hr 30mins 20 to 100%

  • Use global 9.5.6.0

  • Fast charging not supported. 20 to 100% is 1hr 30%. But battery life is very long, it's like 5000mah, unlike other 4000mah but short.

  • Yew

  • Guys please tell me. Which one is the better device between the two. 1. Xiaomi mi A1 2. Xiaomi redmi note 5 (AI dual camera version).
