Xiaomi Redmi Y1 (Note 5A) - User Reviews

  • Anyone receive MIUI 11 update ?

  • He insulted the phone. Don’t know what problem he didn’t like from that phone.

  • Wht u mean abt this phn

  • this smartphone is kontol

  • I also experienced the same problem. the battery and also heat up. even though I just opened Google to read the article and immediately heated up and the battery drained. maybe because the processor is based on an old 28nm fabrication.

  • How

  • I have bought this phone September 2017. I'm writing now on 17 June 2019. By far, the only things that I need to commend is the heating up of the phone which is annoying, and battery that starts to shows depletion in terms of maximum charge. I am talking about almost a 2 years old phone. This phone is good when it was new. No complaint at all. Good quality internet/hotspot/calls, good camera (Although not as good as my previous Honor 5A Plus). I guess its time for me to change to another phone, perhaps the Xiomi Pocophone F1 (SD845 processor yaww~!) I'm writing this to give some honor to my current phone. Hehe

  • its very good phone performing v well its front n back camera are owsom.

  • Hi Guys I have bought this phone about a year ago first 11 months it performed like a charm but after that it's started nagging me around according to me it's the worst phone ever launch by mi even it's finger print sensor stopped responding. Plz don't go for it.

  • when is updating miui 10 and oreo 8.1?

  • MIUI 10 not update and pie 9.0🤔

  • Oppo a83

  • For me, it is an average phone..The battery is decent and performance is good. But my camera is kind of blurry and i dont know why 😅. I played some heavy games and run pretty smooth but getting little bit hot at the back of the phone..Well it use average snapdragon chipset. And i still waiting for miui 10😭

  • No update for Oreo. Camera spec high but reality it's jurk. Auto brightness hanging Active noise cancellation to bad, also sometimes not hearing to other person in call. Battery also not good as review shows. Not recommend to buy this jurk. If you searching for budgetary phone go for Samsung J series.

  • Redmi note 5a prime or oppo a83

  • I bought 2 Redmi Note 5A Prime (3gb RAM 32gb internal storage) phones from South Africa and using it in Zimbabwe on NetOne & Econet networks. this phone performs extremely well and the camera quality is superb. is great value for considering its low low price. battery lasts me a full day and my wife takes almost 2 days since she's not that always online. 4G network excellent for downloads, live streaming & video calls

  • Does it upgrade to Android O

  • battery drain up very fast, also not accepting full charge sometime

  • this phone have 2 simcard. the 2simcard at the same time can use 3g?? sorry 4 bad english

  • Anyone complaint about battery performance ? I use this smartphone and battery performance is not good. I think this phone sacrifying processor and battery just for 16MP selfie camera and front flash light. This phone maybe good for selfie lover, but not for other

  • Not getting incoming calls. Tried everything. Will buy a Samsung tomorrow.

  • It's a great phone.... I've been using it for about 2 months and as of now there's no fault in this phone as such. Also the selfie camera is great and the appearance of the phone is too good. Loved it!!

  • GPS is very poor, inaccurate and unreliable. Even the inbuilt system test fails giving a time-out error.

  • Does it get the Android O update

  • Hi I bought this phone red mi y1 ...when 3g/4g network it was working good but when in 2g network it was operating automatically , open anything, when call to the one person automatically it was calling to another person and when i open browser it was opening & closing automatically...started facing problem with 4 months after i bought this phone......finally i changed my phone, i lost in financial(Rs. 11999/-) .. mi owner please give back my money... worst phone....hardly recommend to do not buy this phone.

  • This phone i own and soo far it works just as good as my s6 edge good phone for the budget

  • A terrible problem with audio recording even if audio in video recording.

  • MIUI10 is in testing stage. So far 2 or 3 beta versions have come out, each with its own set of bugs. MIUI10 is not based in OREO, its just a cosmetic change to MIUI9. XIAOMI has recently introduced a security feature called ARB or 'Anti Roll Back', which means you can not revert a upgrade to an earlier one (google XIAOMI ARB). If you upgrade from a stable version of MIUI to an unstable one you can not revert this change. So, by upgrading to MIUI10 you can end up with a crippled or completely inoperative phone and the only solution is to wait for XIAOMI to sort the problem or if you're in a hurry, buy a new phone. If you look at MIUI forum, you will notice that many users are now 'trapped' in buggy versions of MIUI10 without the possibility of restoring their phones to a fully functional status. What's more, XIAOMI invite users to test their beta versions of MIUI10 but does not clearly warn them about the dangers. Maybe its a way for them to sell more phones or are simply toying with their users.

  • Do not over charge any Redmi phone. They have a battery budge problem.

  • Dearest fellow.Redemi Not 4 with SD and android 7 is much more better that Y1 in all dimensions which has much more chances of upgrading to android 8 in camera and performance Even you you yourself can compare two in compare section of gsmArena.Good luck.

  • does any one updated to MIUI 10 beta

  • Which phone is better choice redmi note 4 or redmi note 5a prime in terms of performance and camera?

  • Yes I agree, this phone has some nice features, but can you actually do audio or video recordings with reasonable audio quality? A quick google search for 'redmi recording problem' reveals the extension of this issue. It seems that nearly if not all REDMI phones suffer from the same problem.

  • i also using MI Y1 and features are very good.... And Camera or a battery backup is good....

  • Just tell that this phone is good or bad who is currently use.Most of the comments here are giving by senseless person who dont use or buy.

  • Yes, the same here. Its one of the many bugs that persist upgrade after upgrade. Sometimes it happens twice in a row, one has to be patient ....

  • Overall the phone is good, but the camera is so so so bad :/ and the battery lasts only one day. The camera of my old Xiaomi, bought 3 years ago was so much better. Very disappointing. If I knew it, I'd never buy this phone because I need clear photos for my work.

  • I bought one of these about a month ago. At first it looked ok but as I went further deep into its apps and configuration menus I found some serious problems. The major flaw that I found is its inability to record sounds, either with its video or audio recording app's. The recorded sound level is so low that its completely unintelligible. I looked for help in XIAOMI forums and google just to find out that this is a long standing problem in many XIAOMI phones, not just this one. In spite of several firmware updates I received during this last month, the problem still persists. It seems the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to solve it, so if you're planning to video record social events or your children birthday party go and buy a different brand .... unless you're a fan of silent movies. In 4G / LTE a fully charged battery goes flat in less than 6 hours, but in 3G it can last 5 days or more under light use. Overall this phone is 'nice' but for me the sound recording problems are a real show stopper

  • Please give me a list of budget phone with Dual Active SIM phone names.

  • Yea

  • Is this Dual SIM Dual Active phone?

  • People reportedbearely hearing my voice during several phone calls which isn't a interview time issue. I do like this phone BUT Call quality... What's the purpose of a phone if the other side can't hear you..

  • Anyone knows if this phone can play newer Telltale Games like Minecraft Story Mode Season 2, Batman: The Enemy Within and The Walking: Dead A New Frontier?

  • Does any one get miui10 update

  • me too bro.....

  • The second best affordable budget economical midrange smartphone super-phone of 2017after Samsung J7 pro of made in and by China !! Happily both have no ugliest hybrid !!Justice Rights only follows moral guidelines for majority of unprivileged people...Whether gsmArena dare release it or not !! Thanks all.

Does not function if the angle is changed -> This problem is faced by multiple users of the same model, I know of 2. The speaker is not good 3. Takes time to switch from one application to another

  • i bought this phone 5A note Prime 4 /64 GB, i love it works fine and smooth

  • Sound proble!!! When I call with anyone they can't understand properly!!! So don't buy this phone please.

  • Is there have oreo upgrade for south asia? This is very good phone. It save your money. But sometimes is restarting without eny reason. Few times did it.

  • 3/32gb variant is value for money. if want to buy 4/64gb then go for redmi 5 or note 5/ 5 pro.

  • why my battery drain so fast?

  • Can This phone run PUBG?

  • Does the Redmi Note 5A (not Prime) 2/16 has microphone issues during call?

  • why i cant delete my pics/vids/files etc on my sd card ?

  • can't believe they saved expenses over that - so many smart cards work on NFC nowadays...

  • 1.why prices too much differ from the open market. 2.plz add infinix mobiles in phone fin der. 3. the features which we put in phone finder should be reflected as highlighted in the search results after opening the particular phone.

  • how is your opinion generally about this phone, I want to buy 64gb/4gb version. Does the mic works ok?

  • redmi 4. beacuase processor is compare to y1

  • Before you say that the spec is wrong, you need to see first that you are looking at the right phone mode. Due to local market issue releases, Xiaomi Redmi Y1 is indeed Note 5A Prime

  • Which would you guys recommend should I buy? Xiaomi Redmi Y1 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x 32gb?

  • redmi y1 or oppo a71 (2018)??? which is better?

  • The only solution is to unlock the bootloader, root the phone and: 1. With solid explorer go to root /system/build.prop Open in SE text editor. Find and change these two lines this way: ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false Save and reboot your phone. This will switch off the buggy noise cancelation which causes audio problems during calls. You will have to repeat it after a big update or ROM change.

  • Battery life better in the Xiaomi.eu ROM. Do not install xposed

  • For camera fix - unlock bootloader and root phone, install camera 2 api zip from 4pda, use open camera app. For calls issue calibrate proximity sensor with app from Google play.

  • my battery drains too fast.. i even charge everyday do u have to update to 9 version? im still using the 8 version of MUI

  • hi..which 1 is better, redmi 4a (2/32) or redmi note 5a (2/16)

  • I have the same problem ....:/

  • do this phone can perform multi-tasking screen?

  • The real Redmi Note 5.

  • I have it more then a month, MIUI 9.2.3.0, Android 7.1.2. Works perfectly. Rear camera not the best one during night but good enough for me. Front camera good. Battery last 3 days with average use. Very impressed with phone.

  • Please help. I had bought this phone last week. This phone is having mic issue. That is other person in the call can't hear my voice properly. Almost all the callers are complaining me that they can't hear my voice properly. Please anyone help.

  • Hi, Do you now what is the SAR for the specific device? I am interested to buy the device but I need to know the SAR. Thank you

  • gps searching...its already in high acurancy...help me please

  • for real ?

  • bad phone restart during caling bad touch in camera app bad front and rear camera Small battry

  • For this smartphone i need full view display,12+5mp or 13mp camera (rear) and 8mp or 5mp camera with flash (front), 2gb ram 16gb internal storage, dedicated sd card slot, gyro sensor, fingerprint, compass and other sensor, infrared part, remote support, otg support, 4000mah battery, fast charging and price about 110 EUR

  • Yes...of course note 5A prime

  • I got the Prime version with 32gb and 3gb RAM with global miui 8 that updated to 9, for a few months now. I am so glad I did. It's true that the screen should be 1080 but I guess that would raise the price significantly but in a normal everyday use, you will not mind. No lagging until now, 3 miui updates so far and very happy with the primary camera. What I love is the audio settings for the handsfree. Don't expect much from the front camera. If you are a selfie junkie you will be disappointed. It's a cheap phone that will not disappoint you

  • Have you checked your camera settings? Please do so

  • Today I receive my Redmi Note 5a Looks like technical data here is wrong compared to official site ( ) It is not octa core it is quad core based phone. Memory is 2/16GB. Snapdragon 425 quad-core 1.4GHz max with Adreno 308 500MHz . Pretty nice phone. I buy it after I read specification here on GSM Arena. Worth the money you pay for it. Maybe Xiaomi should give free silicone protection for it in a package and make more better manual :)

  • I have own buy a y1 this week.I am totally disappointment with its front 16 mp camera at night.It seems like 5 mp camera and the picture quality is very bad,blur, dark image at night.At this price range lenovo k8 plus is quite better than y1.

  • No you will get in Xiaomi MI6, Mix 2, Oneplus 5t, Samsung S8, Note 8, Htc U11, Honor View 10

  • Is this have dslr camera

  • Excellent for selfies.Front camera is 16 not 5.

  • Check your settings.How can they delete automatically

  • Yes

  • All my pics getting deleted by itself.. pls help to solve this..

  • Is this phone have selfie flash camera or not...????

  • Yes, you can install a hybrid Sim holder which costs Rs 130 online and you can use 2sims and sd card simultaneously

  • but it doesn't have a dedicated slot for sd card

  • I have one problem, the phone will not ring, as if it is completely embedded, and in the settings normally sounds and vibration, I did not hear the alarm when it sounded.

  • Do a factory reset, you are having a corrupt application somewhere. Did you download any application? Delete it at once

  • if you mean redmi note 4 (battery 4100 mah) then its better device than note 5a

  • check for any software updates...

  • I feel really happy using this handset...........

  • my redmi y1 phone is only 17 days old .my mobile phone automatically switch off again and again

  • Check your settings

  • If mi given finger print beside the remote it could be best .

  • my redmi y1 update 9.2.1.0 and dose'n work fingerprint sensor why, plz help me any reply plz plz

  • Cheap and good.Nice work Xiaomi.

  • What about battery I confused between note 4 and note 5a?

  • of course note 5A or redmi 5A. 4A is now old.

  • Xiaomi redmi 4A or Xiaomi redmi note5A?

  • Is this phone worth it to buy? Which one is better, redmi note 5A or 5A prime? Thank you.

  • Doesnt have fingerprint.

  • I just bought redmi note 5a prime. At malaysia. This model far good than my old samsung J1 ace. But for me this redmi note 5a prime not so good enough. Its camera is bad. And the battery so fast drowning. Batery is not enough.. the price is good. Not so expensive. So far, it is recomended if you are not selfi or cameraman and you alwaya bring powerbank. So this should be nice

  • back cemra is very bad..not take clear pic.. always bluar..

  • yes man this phone has IR blaster

  • Which phone is better. Between Redmi y1 or Redmi 5A

  • As someone else said, there is indeed a notification led and it is working properly. Just keep in mind it is monochrome (white) and not multicolored (as in some other devices that you can even change the color depending on the app that notifies you, the person made the missed call you just had etc). Don't know why it is white though and no other color, it isn't that powerful to be used as a front camera flash for photos (interesting as a thought though) :)

  • Is this phone contains ir blaster

  • mi Y1 has a notification blinking led even front flash ?? i wanna buy dis phone but i doubt it has no notification blinking led, it has only a front flash ??

  • it has upper left corner beside front camera

  • Yes it has led, left from the ear speaker. It's only white color.

  • i want to know about mi Y1.., it has a notification led or not

  • J7 Pro has 1080p screen vs. 720p of the 4x. It has a lot to do with the graphics.

  • go for the 3gb /32 gb version its best and low price u have also sd card slot .....think of it go wise

  • Xiaomi has got no retailer store or the so called outlet in Philippines. Just order one through Shopee or Lazada. - ty

  • Back camera quality is very poor. And when using flash there are light spots in the corner of picture everytime.

  • Woow.. that's a amazing phone.. that I have used

  • happy new year! I'm planning to buy this unit, where can I find your outlet in the Philippines or factory outlet?

  • I have redmi note 4x (sd 625 3/32) for about 6 months The device is almost perfect I think it's just a little heavy, but the battery is endless (updated with miui 9 android 7.0) My daughter uses a redmi4x, perfect too, the hardware features seem very similar to note 5a prime apart from the display and battery On the other hand there are some improvements on the selfie camera and and the feature "2 sim + sd" the gorilla glass The performance of the redmi4x is very good, see you ... I hope I have been helpful. Bye , happy 2018

  • ops

  • ah ... right, what i mean is redmi note 5a prime (3gb ram, 32gb rom). And I just looking for a cell phone around 3gb ram and 32gb rom because that was enough for me. thx for your opinion btw :)

  • Redmi 5a and redmi note4 does not belong in the same group, you should compare and decide between redmi note4 and redmi 5 prime. If you want performance get a redmi note4, if you want save budget get a redmi note 5a, if you have more budget and want great performance, get redmi 5 prime

  • In malaysia, redmi note 5a does not have fingerprint, its on redmi note 5a prime. Overall experience is good. Big screen, lightweight, smooth except the charging time took 3 hours and the wifi frequently disconnected on its own. I dont know if it my unit problem or software problem. Can anyone tell me your wifi connectivity?

  • Best phone

  • Only ppi is less 265.all are ok

  • There is no "Prime", it is just to indicate that the model is the higher version which has 3/4gb of ram. It's easier to understand this way: In india, there is redmi Y1 and Y1 lite. The high specs version has sd 435, 3/4 gigs of ram and a fingerprint sensor. The lite version has snapdragon 425, 2gb of ram and no fp sensor. In china, they only name it "5A" and no specific naming between the lower (sd 425) and higher (sd 435) specs.

  • it is a volte set or not?

  • Hi, everyone! is there Google Play apps. on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime ? Thanks

  • I can't tell you how good Note 5A is, But there is one thing i am very sure is, That Redmi 4x 3gb are far more better than J7 pro, Which i own both, It's based on my gaming experience, Which i found that Redmi 4x can maxed out the graphics setting on Mobile Legends, when J7 pro even with a mid setting still got some issues, From what i experienced I am assuming that Note 5A are definitely better than J7 pro, In fact Note 5A is the upgraded version of Redmi 4x

  • i do not want any chinese characters on my phone pad. sure i would love to learn about chinese characters but having them mixed on the langauge here and having no option to remove them is so bad cause i have a bad big finger which strikes a two letter wide. i dont want to download a language pack.

  • What do you think of the battery and does it take more time to charge than usual??

  • I have this phone now and it works great.

  • Dual use of zim

  • please release REDMI y1 in total black colour

  • when rosegold version will arrive

  • Even though it's not GorillaGlass, Xiaomi does use some kind of reinforced glass for the Redmi Note series, which does a pretty good job, everyone that's used one or reviewed one more thoroughly agrees. I generally watched my Redmi Note 2, but I occasionally carried it with my keys and I dropped it no less than a dozen times (I'm clumsy) and the front glass is still perfectly fine.

  • Battery is low....But Redmi-4 insted of this...its better for 10001

  • Redmi note 4 is good but it doesn't have gorilla glass protection...it's a big defect

  • dual sim 4G standby or not?

  • How is the battery?

  • got notification light?

  • I think it's very poor to compare other redmi phones' 4100 mah battery

  • it has front flash but not metal body

  • how is the battery quality in compare to redmi note 4???

  • back camera is very poor.. don’t buy it waste of money.. and bettry backup also poorback camera is very poor.. don’t buy it waste of money.. and bettry backup also poor

  • 236 ppi . Can it play full hd videos (1600*2048) without lagge

  • Yes

  • It has front camera flash.

  • It has a heating problem??

  • His ficturr is too good first use then belive

  • Does it have IR Blaster and Fast Charging? And can you get rid of that chinese/japanese language stuff (such as bloatware apps,if any?)

  • I bought the 32bg version two days ago. It has excellent value for money. It is fast, the cameras are very good also. In general you will not regret it. It also updated to MIUI 9. Keep in mind that it's a cheap phone though. The screen is very good even though ideally for 5.5" should be full HD. I like that the main camera can shoot time lapse video. I don't mind that the buttons on the screen don't light up, but they should be more visible. I had to turn on the option for pulsating notification light for every app individually. Maybe I couldn't find a general option for that. IDK. I don't care that is plastic all over. With a clear case the phone looks great. Like metal. You won't regret it if you can't afford an expensive phone.

  • redmi y1 better than redmi note 4

  • Check your time and date setting, check your internet connection and if you have a Gmail account then you can delete it, clear the cache of Google play store and other Google sites. Wait for a few minutes and log in again.

  • Check your settings and especially the internet connection. Nothing to worry about it.

  • just purchased redmi y1 but got sign in problem , i tried to sign in google account or play store it shows " couldn't sighn in , and there was a problem communicating with google servers. " try again later, this massage comes but not able to sign in, even after too many attempts of reset mobile

  • Yes it has

  • Face unlocking is there since Galaxy Nexus s (2011) on Android os..

  • No front flash in this phone

  • Better pay Rs 100 more and buy Redmi Note 4. This phone is just for selfie fans, for everything else Redmi Note 4 is a way better device.

  • mi3 was top of the line, this one is entry level, what did you expect?

  • How was the front camera of this phone? Because I'm planning to upgrade my Xiaomi Redmi 3 pro. Thanks!

  • Does it have front flash? Or any xiaomi phone have it ?

  • does it have notification led

  • 236 actually, Bro, I hope it´s a lie, cause 236 ppi is ridiculous, my mi3 has 441 ppi and this new guya with this ppi? so disapointing. Idk.

  • It support face unlocking like iphone

  • How is camera and Battery backup of this mobile. Display 267 ppi is it good ?

  • Always install the latest version of MIUI. It helps in smooth usage of the phone

  • as it having very lite weight sleek design plus.more camera and memory cadd slot

  • if you leave the jio net full day thsn also it last full day till 12am

  • yes buddy

  • Hey buddy.. tell me which MIUI version is install in ur redmi y1..??9 or 8.. my phone has old version of miui.. plz tell me plz.

  • Yaaaaa

  • Yes, It has VoLTE & LTE both.

  • yes it has otg connectivity

  • Use the compare feature of gsmarena and see it yourself.

  • is this phone had OTG connection

  • is there any problem if we use other brand earphones for this mobile? like mi note 4 does not support other brand earphones and it damages the earphones as well. does it support other earphone?

  • What about its battery backup ?

  • How is this better than Redmi Note 4?

  • DSLR photos click by this phone ?????

  • redmi y1 support otg or not. pl tell me

  • I owned and bought a REDMI NOTE 4X last June and now I saw this one!!!!! Unfortunately its not available in LAZADA yet :( **Philippines**

  • luckily got Y1 or flash sale , never expected i will get it. suits best for me. good selfie camera , ok battery and big screen

  • Yes, it supports otg

  • Metal body.....? Front flash...?

  • Mi A1

  • u can choose to redmi y1 because comparision is like that so go for it

  • Oppo and Vivo has no place to go, Redmi y1 is simply for selfie lovers and in 140 euros. Oppo and Vivo phone with good selfie camera starts at 240 euros.

  • 8999RS for Redmi y1 14999RS for Nokia 6. Mi A1 is far better than Nokia 6 for 15k

  • stupid this mobile price is 138$ correct your general knowledge first... Redmi Y1 138$ for 3GB RAM 32GB Memory Nokia 6 230$ for 3GB RAM 32GB Memory

  • Is Redmi Y1 support otg or not?

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (MediaTek) all the way

  • Well maybe. But its like when your Apple X falls and you have to pay 550 for a repair of your back panel. Also makes you think no more apple. Rather have cheap good reliable phone than top on the market for a top price. But when it breaks easily sometimes without your help :-) And you have to pay a lot for a repair you would think twice if you wanna buy new super expensive phone again.

  • OTG - of course.

  • The battery life is very good, I mean I play games a lot, I use Snaphat. Facebook etc. If you use the phone for social media all day, you can use it about 2 days. If you play games and you are on the social media, the usage is about 1 day. I can say that I'm very glad. Don't have problems with the battery for almost 2 mounths!

  • Redmi note 4x. Better processor, better screen resolution.

  • Well explained and xiaomi's is simply not cheap.. you need two Y1 to make it last for about 2 years (280$) or u can just buy a nokia 6 (230$)

  • Redmi y1 has Pros: Better camera New miui updates Thin & light weight Low price Cons: Processer could have been slightly better (625 in place of 435) Display is not full hd

  • Redmi note 4 or redmi Y1?

  • The under 200$ Xiaomi model are in most cases a good choice but I wouldn't recommend you the above 200-250$ models.That's were Xiaomi is most disappointing. If you pay 100$-200$ for a phone and that phone breakdowns easily or doesn't get upgraded it's ok because it's a 100$-200$ phone and you don't expect much from it BUT if you pay 300$-500$ for a Xiaomi phone and that phone breakdowns fast or doesn't get upgraded you might think differently about Xiaomi.

  • Indeed Xiaomi is finally starting to update some older devices to Android 7 but no word about Android 8. No Oreo plans whatsoever, it's astonishing how far behind they are regarding updates.

  • No hybrid slot first time in mi

  • this should be a dream phone if the just did 1080p display and sd625 processor the battery is fine 3080mah with 13mprear and 16mp front But its not this is just a Budget phone not midrange :(

  • is this phone can update oreo android version and sim slots like hybrid before ?

  • No

  • No

  • 91.6% screen to body ratio? Really..

  • Comment on it's battery drainage pls

  • November 8th 12PM You can buy from amazon.in and mi.com/in

  • Please say release date....

  • The screen to body ratio is wrong, it's better than that of the S8 and iPhone X even :v

  • dude MIUI 9 just got released a few days ago,give them a break.

  • Its PPI is wrong. Redmi Y1 having 267PPI

  • redmi y1

  • Thanks... But People reported many faults/problems in Nokia 3. The only thing I'm afraid of Nokia.

  • It' amezing....

  • If you could combine the Nokia software support with the Xiaomi hardware you would get a decent device. Unfortunately Xiaomi's software support is awful.

  • 140 eur for 32 gb version huge battery and 3 gb ram wow like a dream come true. Add 20 more and you have an extra ram and double disk space. Xiaomi is the miost selling brand in the world like nokia in past 20 years ago. This phone is more than amazing for its price. Wonder when apple gonna start making so good phones for so low price. For a phones assembled in china they ask 1000+ eur. Shame for Apple. Xiaomi is the Dominator on the phone Market.

  • metal body??????

  • Nokia 2 or Redmi y1?

  • Bad news for oppo and Vivo,

  • VoLTE supported

  • yes

  • yes, but only 1 at a time.

  • Any schedule for Android 8? Xiaomi is notorious for NOT upgrading it's models.

  • Is available in india in silver colour ?????

  • S infrared remote is installed

  • S I have redmi note 5A same specifications of y1 2 sim slot and 1 Microsd slot

  • 4 G supported?

  • Is it dedicated slots for 2sim and 1 memory card?

  • rear camara should be 16 mp

  • whether its lte or volte?

  • Bigger screen but lesser pixels, disappointing display. Why not 300+ pixels per inch. I'm damn sure that the display would disappoint at this size of screen. 5.5" screen deserves Full HD resolution. Bad deal at 8999/-

  • very low

  • Is both SIM's Support VoLTE ?

  • Pixel per inches is very poor i.e.236 it should be apporx 401ppi...so picture qualuty would not be good...it will very normal..as a redmi 4..

  • Ppi is pixel per inch this one is bigger so its normal.

  • Lite is the decoy for selling more Y1

  • Seems like an amazing product for the 70%

  • Does this phone have infrared remote?

  • Y1 236 ppi and Y1 lite 267 ppi. R u kiddin...

  • I doubt about the below specs looking at the phone image. Seems to be around 75% s2b ratio 5.5 inches, 106.7 cm2 (~91.6% screen-to-body ratio)

  • how to purch mobil

  • Primary 13 MP, f/2.2, phase detection autofocus, LED flash Secondary 16 MP, f/2.0, 1080p (Selfie Phone)

  • yes it is ... Corning Gorilla Glass 3

  • Bad Battery Xiaomi now !

  • superb Gorilla Glass 3 Dual Sim Card Slot + Expandable Memory Slot ( Total 3 Slot )

  • Sales starting at 8th November 12 PM (amazon India)

  • With this price, we cannot expect more.

  • If we need SD 625, then we have to pay more. With this price, this is good, I think.

  • first Redmi phone with Gorilla Glass

  • superb

  • is there anyone here have a problem with battery? my battery drain so fast

  • I want to know , when using the internet and playing game that redmi note 5 a prime is good or get heating ???

  • It is the same model mi is launching in india on 2 nov

  • yes it is.. its a better version of the glass, i cracked mine in the corner,and its working just fine

  • 2017 5,5" but only 236 ppi oh no...

  • is this gorilla glass or not? any body please inform me.

  • is this gorilla glass or not? any body please inform me.

  • How soon ??

  • why processor is so old. why not snapdragon 650

  • Dual camera?

  • my friend for 140,150 euros this phone is perfect

  • Of course it has USB On-The-Go (OTG)

  • USB on the go or not?

  • redmi note 5A prime processor snapdragon 435 is not a good. It should be snapdragon 500 to 625.

  • Pls convey us about internal storage and when it will come in market

  • India low price & best mobile

  • redmi note 5a prime.. the letter "A" stand for affordable.. so the spec suits to it price range.

  • Sorry, but I was in China and I bought it from the official Xiaomi's store :).

  • me also want to buy this phone but i am from india would you help me

  • Hahaha Ask Samsung. They have j7 neo, j7 2017, j7 2016, j7 pro, j7, j7 prime

  • I bought this phone from China. I live in Europe. I think that the phone is great for the price, I have it from 9 days and I'm very happy that I bought it! I don't have any bugs, Snapchat is working perfect, Messenger, Facebook and any social webs work perfect on my device! I can play any games on it, very cool! There's only one thing that I don't like - the camera isn't so good, but for the price I think I can handle with that problem. Front camera isn't so bad, you can make pictures with normal quality. Finally, I can say I will buy in future again Xiaomi's product. My opinion is very positive :) And of course, if you have any questions, I will be glad to give you answers :).

  • IPS display but still 720p resolution, snapdragon 435 for 140 euro's hell no! You can get the base variant of the Redmi note 4 at this price with 1080p display and snapdragon 625....

  • Lol ;). How come 400 PPI for 720p with 5x5inch ??????? Is it possible?

  • 140 Euro. Who can complain? Its a steal with IPS display, 400ppi.

  • Not just redmi note will dying slowly because of downgrade from its predecessor but all other xiaomi phone will die too.

  • 26.8% screen-to-body ratio and 401 ppi???

  • WTF?Why all the series

  • Did you not notice the 'A'? The a series is always the low budget version if the specific line. Same with the Redmi note 4 and 4A

  • Thats why they need to straighten how they're naming their product and not just squeeze in anything with lower spec inbetween.

  • Hahah i laugh at who doesnt know the models... 'x' A means it will has lower specs than the original redmi. Note 5.. They think it is redmi note 5 lol Redmi note 5 will be launched soon

  • Check again the size and resolution.

  • Redmi note 5a= redmi 4a with lower battery

  • lunching date in indian market ples replay guyees I am wait this device

  • MIUI isnt on beta right now?

  • Its not Note series its more like 4a or 5a just wearing name Note like some lite Note version course..Redmi Note 5 will be another much better phone

  • It doesn't mean it is better

  • This is redmi note 5a dude, not redmi note 5

  • Are you fuc*ing kidding us, xiaomi ? GET YOUR EFFING PRODUCT LINE NAMING STRAIGHT. After redmi note 2 3 4 , now 5 with LOWERED SPEC ?? SERIOUSLY ?? ARE YOU EVEN ?? OMFG, after mi6 with no headphone jack , now another ass clown product !

  • Because of xiaomi note devices are mid range devices but redmi series are entry level devices. They used 625 in redmi note 4 because of 14nm finfet technology. It's 20% more efficient than 652.

  • zz downgrade the camera.. and hv ur snapdragn upgrade instead.. dont mind hving a low quality cam. Hahahaaha

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - Snapdragon 652 Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 - Snapdragon 625 Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 - Snapdragon 435 lol Xiaomi you gone bad

  • Im not happy at all i have redmi note 4 and i expected the redmi note 5 will have bezzle less display :( this is verry bad from xiaomi i will sure change my order to another phone bezzle less for reasonable price like elephone s8 ;)

  • No IR blast but may be full chance of BLAST like.......4

  • 5a is cheapest device ... all xiaomi devices with A are CHEAPER than regular

  • always downgrade, redmi note will dying slowly!!

  • If Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (not 5A) isn't better than Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (snapdragon 652), Xiaomi just officially became a joke ... IMO

  • Let's hope this is not the true successor of Redmi Note Series. There is some hope since the start price point of Note 5A is quite lower. Xiaomi will need to release the true successor of Note 4X with better spec and price/performance value.

  • 1 Oct

  • This is such a major disappointment. Check out why:

  • When launch mi 5A prime in India.

  • Looking at the specs I'd say that it's rather expensive even in comparison with other budget Redmi models like the Note 4/4X and considering that it will probably be stuck on the Android version that it initially comes with like almost all Xiaomi devices I don't see why would anyone buy this at this price.

  • also no nfc

  • nice one

  • battery should be at least 4000 mah... xiaomi is definitely going backwards... otherwise specifications are awesome and sales of this device is going to break all records of previous redmi devices

  • going backward

  • Would be nice if xiaomi has had time to change the 3 capacitive signs, i mean they got boring all along with still the same...

  • Yes indeed like redmi 4A in redmi 4 series but lot of people cannot accept the specs. I know this is not Redmi Note 5 prime model.

  • does it have ir blast????

  • Is anyone not realizing that this is the lower entry version model of the note 5? There's a reason why it has the A next to the 5

  • Where 4100 mAH???? What happened Xiaomi???? Come On !

  • Redmi Note 5A come with weaker chipset Snapdragon 435 and with this development the proper Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Mi Max 3(always follow suit Redmi Note series chipset) the best it can get is SD 630 never be SD660 and maybe Redmi series will get SD 2XX in future. After Hugo Barra leave Xiaomi, the new phone they produce always come with weaker chipset except for Mi 6.

  • come on guys, don't expect too much from cheap phone, they are actually just a tool to get the job done, xiaomi make good effort with 16MP front camera to compete oppo line up with their outdated mediatek soc

  • i have redmi note 3 pro & chipset better than this model why?

  • Indeed

  • Agree..

  • Looks like an OPPO F1s with following changes Snapdragon 435 instead of Mediatek 6750 (same with GPU) Rear Mounted Finger Print scanner Xiaomi MIUI Skin instead of ColorOS So why we will prefer to buy a year old handset ???

  • **not really a downgrade

  • OK guys enough, Calm down! this is really a downgrade by Xiaomi again this phone is a Redmi Note 5A it does contain the letter "A" which you have to put in your mind that it is an entry level phone. ok? An entry level phone that has a size of 5.5 display. It's specs is a little bit lower than the Midrange phones like x4note/x4 and the much more awaited xiaomi note 5.

  • it's sucks. battery and processor is very low

  • it should include some chicken an fries so,, oh wait also a new PS4 and a Bentley car!!!

  • I want this model

  • only front camera is improved/good...except nothing is great...battery should 4000mah with fast charge then good...why xiomi downgrade its succesor....if sn 653 or 630 then best... i need specification of redmi note 5 #amoled display 5.7inch 1080p #RAM 2gb/3gb/4gb varient with 16/32/64gb rom with dedicated memory #camera 13mp/13mp both flash with f2.O #BATTERY 4500mah with fast chage within 2.2hr 0%to 100% #SNAPDRAGON 630/660 with 2ghz #FINGERPRINT #ALL SENSORS #GORRILLA GLASS with 2.5d curve #8mm & 170gm # android 7.1 with android o update later #dual speaker in bottom price 2/16GB @ 10K # 3/32GB @ 12K # 4/64GB @ 14K then sure kill the budget under 15k

  • This phone is good and new look And Amazing App

  • The 435 is a 28nm chipset while the 625 is 14nm, I'm pretty sure that the 625 consume less power than the 435, why would Xiaomi decide to reduce the battery from 4100 to 3080mAh? Honestly I don't understand.

  • Xiaomi is going expensive

  • Any news on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (i.e. non "A" version)?

  • Have Any Idea About Price

  • It is there for higher end specs.

  • 1080x1920 pixels is not correct. It's 1280X720

  • It's the latest redmi phone it should be 6GB ram variant 64Gb storage for 9 thousand and 8GB ram 128GB storage for 12 thousand and atleast 5000Mah battery and also 20 megapixels camera

  • Xiaomi is going decreasing the processors when successor is coming.......

  • Pretty stupid decision

  • price maybe

  • What the reason to reduce 4100mah to 3080mah

  • Bad CPU snapdragon 430 should expect 652

  • please tell redmi note 5 exact release date....

  • Pros: -Great p/p. -2 Sims or 1 with MicroSD card. -Longer update for both OS and UI support than other brand. -Great built quality. Cons: -LCD screen. -Average camera quality. -Average battery for it's screen size. (Lower than old generations) -Didn't have good accessories come with the package. -Charger's adapter is 5V-2A (Predicted) with won't give you full Quick Charge 3.0 potential.

  • Redime note 4 guys is worst phn my phn which was having screen garud ,back cover still the screen broke just slipped from y hand on ground not only mine but around 3 of my frnds too ..kindly check of the screen is gorilla glass else you'll wasting your money..

  • Doesn't matter. people still going to buy it

  • What is the release date?

  • Redmi note 5 and redmi note 5a are totally different spec

  • Xiaomi is going downhill. Recent phone releases have less than 4100mAh batteries in the name of slimmer phones. So much for Xiaomi's battery advantage over other phones. The Redmi 4/4x/4 Prime and Redmi Note 4/4x phones will be the last of their kind to have excellent 4100mAh batteries. Buy them while you still can because they will be the last 5.0" and 5.5" phones to have superb, long-lasting 4100mAh batteries.

  • Xiaomi note 5A release on 21 Aug 2017 dude

  • release asap pls

  • i am very excited for mi note 5

  • I am eagerly waiting for this

  • Its allerged launched a month after redmi note 5a.....so mayve redmi note 5 will be launch on 16 September....

  • I'm waiting with you

  • a big yes!

  • You think so? It would be great if it will be released this month

  • I hope so dude, I'll be waiting for this. And I hope It's worth the wait.

  • when would this redmi note 5 going to phil?

  • Hope it's come with sd660 and front mounted fingerprint and the camera too. Release date = when? August / September .

  • hi , I Am from nepal.. I think this information is not true.. bcoz xiaomi smartphones has compulsory IR blaster. see the pic above mentioned... it show finger print scanner is in back side but information show that's it is front mounted. although the battery power is decreased - it doesn't matter bcoz if the screen quality is upgraded then it consumes less power which long lasts like Redmi note 4 or more. until it gets released we can't sure what are its features... so keep calm n wait... hope note5 will be better than earlier..

  • otg saportet phone?????

  • How to com in market in mi note 5 date give me

  • Best phone

  • You can only get these specs only on a smartphone ranging above 30000 and xiaomi offers only good phones with average money range and you cannot get these specs with 15k price range

  • Dont believe on this specifications guys These are not true The Mi note 5 will come with android 7 nougat And other specifications are also wrong So dont trust on this

  • It's good it support quick charging. Hope this good smartphone will be released soon.

  • They even use different fingerprint sensors by the same model ie redmi note 3. The scanners are good however just not immune to grease / wet like xiaomi's latest flagships. Most reviews are impressed with the scanners used however in the note 3 for the price. A soft backed case is ideal lightly rubbing the finger on this 1st once or twice if its wet or greasy should solve the issue almost perfectly in the event your hands may be a bit smudgy. Xiaomi is doing some impressive work in most their models when contrasted with the price of the devices.

  • i want to purchase the redmi note 5.But battery should be above more then 4000mah.

  • historically you have to get them shipped from china (which isn't as bad as it sounds if you buy from decent sites like gearbest) also check if the 4g works in your area before you buy but tbh theyre normally good at covering most places. But yeah once you get the phone you're on your own, won't get able to get help from any phone shops unless its a general problem as none of them deal with the phones, if you're ok with that though the phones i've had from them are quality for the price, only issue is a weak camera.

  • im bored with the touchscreen, it would be better the touchsreen at the under middle front like samsun, hope redmi note 5 or 5x will get the new fingerprint. if just the same fingerprint and model as redmi 3s, redmi note 3, redmi note 4 why should i buy?

  • Can't see this being sold in Europe right? I'm pretty sure you have to import these in the UK and they come with no support?

  • And also SD 835 plus 2.5 D Super Amoled screen...ha.ha..for $ 160.. Ha

  • When will this phone come to market?

  • Its a bloody sub 180$ phone. Its insane for its price.

  • its bad. Please 6GB ram + QHD 5.7" screen + 4100mah + NFC + Stereo speakers.

  • are u blind? its easy to comparing 2k vs fhd.

  • Xiaomi sucks, still using Android 6 marshmallow. What a piece of junk.

  • Why rear finger?

  • Yeah, and make the price jump from 200$ to 400$... by the way, what the difference does the 2k make compared to 1080p ? NONE... even 2K drain the life out of the battery. so turning this good affordable phone into a try-hard gimmick and make mid-range customers lose interest.

  • the most bad thing with xiaomi is bright/dead pixel in their phone. lets see if issue is still come with this new.

  • yes I prefer rear finger sensor rather than front mounted.

  • dual cams is gimmick. one camera with bigger sensor and bigger lens is better.

  • Disappointed.. Its should have 5.7" QHD, 6GB ram, 5000mah, stereo speakers, and nfc.

  • Xiaomi offer affordable smartphone with the best hardware specification.

  • Implement OIS and 1080p @60 fps already to stand apart from the rest because it's getting mediocre

  • Maybe in January 2018 because redmi note 4 was released in January 2017 and the redmi note 3 was released in january 2016 but the redmi note 2 was released in August 2015 and maybe that explain the leaks that starr to appear early this year.that means it can be released in August or September

  • No news on the release date but follow timeline, should be August. You can buy redmi note 4 if seller doing clearance sale.

  • This model uses an appealing chipset. If and when you guy(s) get one, let us know what you do and don't like about it.

  • When this phone will be available?i need that 13 mp front camera and quick charge

  • when launch rn5???please

  • Eagerly waiting for you note 5, Need to upgrade outlook design in thickness specially.

  • NFC ?

  • Please don't be so greedy since xiaomi offers us best specs available for that price range…

  • wait for the redmi note 5.

  • When it'll be launched. Should I purchase redmi note 4 OR wait for Redmi Note 5?

  • Redmi line is for mid-end/low-end. Don't expect to much. The specifications is more than enough for mid/low price range.

  • Sorry but personally I think Xiaomi should've left Redmi series out of USB type C port and remain using Micro USB. Having no extra tiny stuff like converter is way better than having one. Such a hassle. Also, I think maybe it's time for Xiaomi to step up their game by offering dual stereo loud speakers and AMOLED 2k and 5.7 inch and gorrila glass 5 and DxOMark collaboration. Beat Nokia 5/6 in terms of the most affordable, the cheapest, yet value for money smartphone.

  • xiaomi should launch redmi note 5 with dual rear camera. because dual camera is next generation of smartphones

  • Yes, the list continues, it also has USB type - C, and otg ( USB on- the- go ) and FM radio as well. Great staff, Great great staff there. I now see why Xioami some time came first in Chinese in sales department.

  • i hope xiaomi release source code for RN5 like RN3.. so we can get many development and many ton of custom rom, kernel etc like RN3 i used..

  • Pin 3790mAh with QC 3.0

  • Please. Launch this smartphone fast. Note 4 cam is 13. But this ones good

  • Now this is what I mean latest snapdragon 660, Micro SD Card up to 256gb, 32gb 3/4gb, 64gb 4gb, 16mp back camera, 13mp front camera, 24-bit/192khz audio, Infrared pot, fast charging 3.0, battery 3790 mAh all for 180 Euros. It will win all phones hands down in it's price category in all rounder performance. I know Huawei can challenge but they will leave many things out. This is in price brackets of €300 phones. If the price is indeed true then this would surely be hot hot cake and no phone can context.

  • Wow, wow, wow! This is crazy men! This will be the top most phone I have ever seen in this price tag €180 wow! What is included in this phone makes it the best in it's price category.

  • It's OK actually given it spot quick charge and makes the phone lighter

  • i hope it will be soon launch in srilanka

  • please keep battery capacity 4100mah in redmi note 5

  • I hope soon release in indonesia,

  • When Note 5 launches for Sri Lanka?

  • Custom rom does support old processor

  • SD 80X Doesnt support to android 7. Dont lying.

  • How old are u? Since bigger phone is for big hand. Try 5" or 4.5" screen for kids hand.

  • Guys relax,about marshmallow,i know xiaomi will release it with nougat,its just rumours,again i know the battery will be above or 4000mAh,as we ar used to other note series,am happy the fingerprint is front mounted,i have short thick fingers en the rear mounted one is unreachable for me considering its a 5.5 inch,again snapdragon 660 is great,check its specs at Qualcomn website or yu can rate it with oppo R11 which has that sOc

  • xiomi disappointss again. it should atleast have the following: android 7.0 4000mAh battery rear touch unlock

  • If Snapdragon 660 than this will be best flagship phone but snapdragon 630 this will be loose side of this phone

  • Mi3 its top of the range line, Redmi Note 3 its not. RN3 is 2 years old and never been updated.. haha

  • How will price of redmi note 5 &release date?

  • why android 6 & miui 8 ?

  • agree ... three thumbs up

  • It's not official just yet so shut up

  • Same old same old just another boring specs phone by Xiaomi lol its Marshmallow

  • this is sh*t... cmon xiaomi... "NOTE mean bigger" 5.7 QHD screen and 5000mah is better

  • Redmi note 4 WOW amazing

  • I wish for this too

  • Xiaomi doesn't update? Are you sure? My mi3 is android 7.0

  • I'm using Redmi Note 3 for more than a year now, it's an awesome phone.. Didn't upgrade to Redmi Note 4 this year because Redmi Note 4 wasn't a big upgrade over the Redmi Note 3. I guess many Redmi Note 3 users also didn't upgrade either because of the same reasons. I wish the Redmi Note 5 has these features - 1 - 5.5 inch full HD display 2 - 16 MP Dual Camera with f1.7 Aperture 3 - 8 MP Front Camera with Flash 4 - Snapdragon 660 Processor (I don't want Snapdragon 630) 5 - 3GB RAM with 32 GB ROM. 4GB RAM with 64 GB ROM. 4 GB RAM with 128 GB ROM. 6 - Dual SIM with Separate SD Card Slot. 7 - Stereo Speakers on the bottom 8 - 4500 mAh battery Please don't disappoint us, Xiaomi.

  • Seriously Android 6.0

  • Finger scanner at front means its flop, keep the legacy. All the vary best Redmi note 5.

  • Ya agreed. Sucks Xiaomi

  • I bet you it will be equipped with SD 630 instead of SD 660.

  • u get latest security patches and plenty of features in the miui ecosystem which are note even on android 7.0. Besides, it does get constant incremental updates.

  • Xiaomi doesnt do updates on these phones, it will stay on 6.0 forever!!!!

  • I want this phone come with 4200 mah battery and rear fingerprint scanner

  • O wow snapdrogan 660 kryo cores adreno 512 gpu the mid range powerhouse superbb

  • I don't really mind if the battery is a little downgraded 3790 mah it's good enough and if it gets Qualcomm quick charge + USB type c + Snapdragon 660 + 16/13 MP camera in 180 euro price this would be a mid range killer

  • Snapdragon 660....that's the deal...just waiting for this phone available...

  • is it having 2.5D glass? and the side edged camera is good for it or not?

  • Not possible that they will be using Snapdragon 660. If they do that then they will be slapping themselves for the soc they used for Mi Mix which is a higher variant of their product line.

  • Since it's not officially announced yet, hopefully the spec will be upgraded instead of downgraded compare with the predecessor.

  • Hope they keep 660 snapdragon. For 180 eur it will be dominator on phone market i am pretty sure of it. Its a great phone i love it straight away.

  • Yeah...quick charge incoming

  • can't wait to grab it !

  • Agreed. The most possible chipset for Redmi Note 5 is Snapdragon 630.

  • hope the support for hi-res audio is true.....

  • Just improve both read and front camera and this phone will be sick as heck

  • Based on these preliminary specs, it would have been better to come out of the box with Nougat 7.0 (better 7.1.1) instead of 6.0 Marshmallow, and with 4GB/64GB as standard, and yes hopefully it will be launched with the SD660 (and not SD630, although it's not bad for the segment). But no matter what, we know from the previous experience, that most probably, it will be a very good value for money phone.

  • getting boring with 5.5 inch display

  • Waiting

  • Hello mi user Xiaomi won't give you Snapdragon 660 in redmi note 5 surely they will use SD630 that's it

  • Can't Wait to Grab it.....

  • Can't Wait to Grab it.....

  • And Bluetooth 5

  • It will be nougat 7
