I ❤ my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. Very good 6" screen. Great 4000 mAh battery. Good Snapdragon 625 CPU. Good Adreno 506 GPU. Blazing fast fingerprint sensor. MIUI 10 is awesome. Android Oreo 8.1.

[@josepaolobartolome9014]

is it still god afte a months of using?

[@coqui1550]

@@josepaolobartolome9014: Yes of course. It's not a high-end phone, but a very good mid-range mobile, especially for the price.

[@kodaph]

Its now 135 US$, at some markets online if your good at looking.. I am waiting for mine to come... cant wait

[@kodaph]

@@coqui1550 I have been choosing between Note 5ai and 5plus, but recently some users experience hiccups heating issues in SD636, fast drain that's why I go SD625. I slash off the list Note 4X, due to its not updated MIUI still stuck at Marshmallow, though its also SD625, also it has an older looking design 16:9 aspect ratio similar back desgin. Practically, (as of this post) Redmi Note 5ai and Redmi 5 plus are almost at the same price but SD625 wins my heart in all aspects as I am dont play games in phone, not much of a selfie guy, I am more on phone effeciency, that serves just every online task I throw at the phone and Redmi 5 Plus is the clear bet. Effectivity is vastly differs from efficiency.

[@Shattered65]

Redmi 5 Plus does support QC 3.0 It does not come with a QC 3.0 charger but it does support QC 3.0. Note that the Redmi 5 does not support QC....

[@HKdagreat]

Does that mean if it charges using a higher amp charger, as opposed to the stock one, it will charge quicker?

[@Shattered65]

HKdagreat Yes

[@tukkura131291]

Yup. I charge it with a QC Charger, it works

[@aleksandarjoksimovic5208]

Can I use QC Charger of Samsung A720 ?

[@Shattered65]

Aleksandar Joksimovic if that is a Qualcomm QuickCharge compatible charger then yes

[@TaoufiqLak2]

2:18 I correct this to you, the phone does supports QC3.0, the problem is that the travel adapter given in the box simply doesn't support it.

[@sieve5]

I'm using this phone on a Wal-Mart family mobile plan and it's working like a champ. I'm wanting to go to stock android but other than having facebook preinstalled there wasn't anything I had to uninstall from the camera. The biggest thing that bugs me about this thing is the fact that It's just an absolute unit. I got it to replace my iPhone 4s that I had for seven years. Great phone, held up to a full road trip of google maps + soundcloud, 8 hours.

[@ijazh6790]

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X and think MIUI is great. Only thing that annoys are a few Chinese apps that I can't get rid of. However compared to Samsung phones there's hardly any bloat and it works better than touchwiz.

[@dragongamer6264]

I just got mine in and am surprised at how much I'm liking it. I ordered the international version off of Amazon and was worried that it wouldn't work properly in the US. It has only 4g support on MetroPCS and Mint Mobile but I've had no connectivity issues. About the camera, I'd highly recommend installing Open Camera. It has all of the features of the MI Camera app and then some. Also, I've noticed a bit of delay when unlocking and sometimes the screen is overly sensitive. But of course, I'm using Nova Launcher instead of the default UI and that could explain why there's delay

Like your review, in depth, offering more than just cameras and ram. Not overly demanding and keeping it in line with the segment The product belongs in. If you did a comparison between the 5 and 5 plus, would have been better. All in all, grear review and yes, jack should be at the bottom.

[@bayusetiawan4661]

Also will these phone work with O2 network? If you could assist I'd be truly grateful...cheers! :)

[@ASBYT]

+Steve Gustavo Hernandez Rodriguez the 5 plus has an upgraded 625 Snapdragon, however many feel the performance is very similar to the note 3 pros 650. However an extra GB of ram, newer OS and a better design on the 5 plus, would make it my pick 👍

this or the mi a1??? any opinion? 🤔🤔🤔

[@youraacapistrano4914]

bro which would you recommend realme 3 or redmi 5 plus

[@gdmoc]

Btw, how is the camera if you compare to the redmi note x4? Got improved?

[@hydrochlor]

If you bought the global one. That is not the global one if it was it would be a label that says CE behind it. There is no global version with MIUI 9.2.0.2 there is only a Chinese version for that. So you're running the china rom but with multiple languages. I bought my one from Ali Express and it got an unofficially changed MIUI rom. So I flashed the original one. So don't expect many updates cause it is supposed to be on 9.5 right now. The phone didn't have a global release yet when it was released. But it came after 1 and a half month that's why 9.2.0.2 global edition doesn't exist. Cause Xiaomi had already done a new stable update for the global edition. So many sellers wanted a global release but they couldn't wait and the sellers we're hungry for money so they flashed it with China rom with multiple packages. Sorry but you're Redmi 5 plus is not the global edition. It's china.

[@darkynot6624]

Dani mine is global version..written right side box..my mi 5 plus MEG7 written at the back of phone means its global..u can check at mi 5 plus miui forum. Miui moderator mention it thou..

[@hydrochlor]

Yeah. You can do that too to check if it is.

[@aLIEz0808]

Dani yup, you are right. The logo of Xiaomi in the box should be written in English if it is a global version. I have mine and it is written in English.

I have the Redmi Note 4 MTK version, the only difference is screen ratio, and android version. No incentive for upgrade for me. Want to wait for the next generations of CPU

[@hmyjayden4652]

ahdoah Hsieh this was redmi 5 (not redmi note 5) it was upgraded version from redmi note 4 in term of screen ratio and others.

[@scorpiopaulius]

I think redmi 5 pro will be worth upgrade, Im planning for it, now I have note 4 SD

[@darkynot6624]

Use custom ROM..xiaomi developer don't care about upgrading the ROM for old devices specially MTK CPU..

[@Sushant9763]

slightly better camera better speaker good display

[@rosario6217]

ahdoah Hsieh Well, MTK is MUCH worse comparing to SD, performance is similar, but SD is much more battery efficient. The biggest difference, anyway, is that SD version comes out of the box with global MIUI and is updated faster and more regularly... has MTK version received MIUI 9.5 based on nougat yet? On SD version I got it at the end of November if I remember correctly. I agree to wait for next gen CPU's though, you can preorder Redmi note 5 pro global version for just 210€ (not dollars), which has great double camera, sd 636, comes with android 8.1 out of the box (Idk if it supports project treble though), has b20/800MHz (which mtk rn4 variant doesn't have) and 4/64 GB. Another option is the Mi 6x/mi A2. They're both great

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

I got one of these last week, is great so far, and it updated automatically OTA to official Xiaomi Oreo android 8 a few days ago. Not noticed any substantial differences yet (maybe an option or 2 more in the camera I'm not sure). Runs fast for me!!!

I know this is probably a bit premature but I have only ever had an android with a replicable battery. So my question is how much would the battery cost to be replaced ?

To bad supported frequencys is a huge problem these days. These dont support the 900 mhz band 8 for 4g which is a total shame and leads to battery drain. Its hard to find a phone that supports all the 2g,3g,4g freq you need.
