[@Umairbaig923]

I watch the video on Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus. Phone is a very good ❤️ ( I am a Poland)

[@Bodonism]

if this phone had a usb type-c and dual camera, it would be the perfect phone for the whole of 2018

[@xlukas93]

Try Xiaomi Mi A1 or Xiaomi Mi 5x - basically the same phone with dual camera and usb-c, with better but a bit smaller display

[@Bodonism]

believe it or not, i bought mi a1 for my mom... but mi a1 dont have 18:9 aspect ratio.. thats why i think redmi 5 plus would be a great phone if it had type-c and dual camera

[@motunrayoolusegun]

Joshua Richard for this price point? Nope.

[@bbc6rgf57ytty5yxyw5gt]

Why do you prefer 18:9?

[@Bodonism]

Tuntun AyaTosin why? it almost the same price as miA1

[@boot665]

hi tecline like your reviews. my redmi 4a broken so I got the 5 plus... as avrege user 4a is the best.. light weight, size perfect.. mybe less features but who cares... I wish they fix him I ssitch back🤘

[@youraacapistrano4914]

linus which would you recommend redmi 5 plus redmi 7 or realme 3?

[@azazeru_ch]

Gonna buy this phone this month . Thanks for the review, it look solid and well-made with good spec for heavy user like me xD

[@Abduu9x]

If you have the money Go with the Pixel 2 XL wanna save some then The 1+5T is best and for the best Budget phone Get Redmi 5Plus Thanks for the great review

[@mrd8005]

I wouldn't get this Redmi 5 Plus cuz there's the Xiaomi Mi A1 or the Infamous Budget King from 1-2 years ago The Moto G5 Plus.

[@NirojLama-ip8zy]

Nice video...I have some questions? Can you tell me...64gb 4k SD memory card redmi 5 plus can support or not..🤔

[@dengoodej4399]

What is better phone? Xiomi A2 Lite? Or Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus? Or Huawei Y7? Need suggestions thanks :-)

[@artdogg50]

Just received the 8.1 Oreo update a few days ago. Hopefully everyone will be getting it if they already haven't yet.

[@andreicatalinjoita9485]

The update is on xiaomi redmi 5 plus ?

[@artdogg50]

@@andreicatalinjoita9485 A little late, but yes.

[@tmalanam]

This phone is supports fast changing 3.0(I tested it)

[@badshahop9732]

Does it have inbuilt screen recorder which records game sounds?

[@jefftragheit]

I honestly don't see this beating the Huawei Honor 7x for US phone people. It's not a bad device, but considering it's the same price and the Honor is available in retail stores...with planned oreo... It's just not as nice an option.

[@haywoodjblome4768]

You can buy the redmi 5 plus 32gb/3gb for around 140$ and the 64gb/4gb for 180/170$. I don't know how much the honor costs but I doubt it beats that

[@Koooles]

Where I like Honor 7x (64GB)is 260 Euros, while Redmi 5+(64GB) is only 170, so almost 100 difference.

[@lauris147147]

Hey, Linus, your videos are informative and accurate as always! May I ask are you from Lithuania or was it a trip? As I see you were in Belmontas.

[@jarltheawesome2959]

Thanks I bought it in black color and 4gb ram and 64gb ram helped me decide Soo I got it for a really low price from a real Mi store

[@ohlongjohnson003er3]

Just wondering. ... which one would be better, this phone or the samsung j5 ?

[@jarodyoel2985]

When you review it . I always like it because you tell what i really to know about this phone ..

[@oskars884]

does it have a quick charge of the battery?

[@bash786ali7]

Hi Linus , as usual your reviews are excellent. Would you recommend the 5+ over the note 4 . I mean there similar in specs , apart from the 18:9 ratio for the screen. Does the 5+ have a head phone jack ? ... thanks as always 😎

[@TechLineHD]

Thanks a lot! Yes, I would take the 5+ mainly because of the better camera! Yes, it has the headset jack

[@ianbanta9187]

TechLineHD which phone will last longer (life span of the phone not the SoT)? Thanks

[@memyselfi7031]

im using that same phone.. does it support bluetooth gamepad?

[@shad8x936]

Great video. But it definitely wont be best 2018 budget smartphone. Not with such outdated SoC as Snapdragon 625, Xiaomi has to stop slapping it into every budget device, there are so many newer, better options.

[@parthnyk2099]

They should atleast give 626

[@bithigamer]

Shad8x SD 625 is still a killer performing chipset,so why would bother going with newer chipset,even if they would go with SD 630, performance would also be similar as SD 625.....so no big deal at all.....At least for now,redmi 5 plus is easily the best budget phone.....honor 7x is good,but the performance of 7x is not consistent and the gaming performance is poor compared to SD 625 devices.....and the 7x's battery life is not as great as redmi 5 plus either.....

[@abutaleb4232]

Max there's hardly any difference between the two... SD630 is a glorified over clocked Sd625. SD 625 is also tested and proven, and don't forget it's a redmi phone not a redmi note- it's kind of a surprise to see SD600 series chip here... All be it the king of mid-range chip at that! Plus Nokia 6 still boasts 16:9 display, and it's a shame... Once you see/use a 18:9 phone it's really hard to go back!

[@Ferrero1990]

The redmi plus is the sucessor of the Redmi Note 4, so that's the reason they put the 625 instead of the 425/435.

[@Ferrero1990]

Redmi Note 5 pro? SD 636, dual camera. Still a shame that they don't add NFC and most phones still don't support B20 (or they removed support, case Mi Note 3 compared with Mi Note 2) for 4G since they're are trying to expand their market to eastern countries (they opened a physical store in Spain)

[@jirehlauganas4493]

This or the A1? Huhu im confused send help planning to buy this weekend

[@yourhighny2547]

Can you compare this to Ulefone's Power 3S and which is better? Just an insight would be good. Thx

[@TechLineHD]

Hey! Redmi 5 Plus is better and I can easily recommend it over the Power 3s

[@rztrzt]

How does the camera compare to the meizu m6 note, especially at night time?

[@danilove701]

Linus which one will you recommend? REDMI 5 PLUS or MEIZU M6?

[@mrd8005]

DANI LOVE Redmi 5 Plus All The Way. Unless, Redmi 5 Plus Vs. Xiaomi Mi A1 Vs. Moto G5 Plus? Then, it's kinda tough.

[@akilbarboni4198]

redmi 5 plus if was m6 note than m6 note definitly best camera for the price

[@ArthurShopenhauer]

Thanks for review men. Are you from Lithuania?

[@supermario560]

i am tempted to buy either redmi 5 or redmi 5 plus, but i'll wait some more for another xiaomi phone with usb c. great review as always, linus.

[@TechLineHD]

Thanks a lot, man!

[@reg8297]

What size screen is this and is sound quality good with calls and KZbin

[@Hazebabyy]

Im going to buy a new phone. Can you guys help me choosing from Huawei P10 lite or this one? Im so confused.

[@Pkalox]

im thinking of getting the 3gb model with 32gb storage is the ram management good because i heard bad things about it

[@Vista318]

Having a redmi 4x must say, anyone should love the upgrade to this phone. My 4x is amazing, and this is better. The price is crazy low for what you get. Great review!!

[@TechLineHD]

Thank you! Nice to hear that!

[@ianbanta9187]

What should I buy in 2018? 4x or this and why?

[@absoleet]

Did you take the night photos using a tripod? And how does the camera in low light/night compare with the Redmi 4x?

[@TechLineHD]

No, didn't use a tripod. I use it only for my professional camera, not smartphones as this is how the majority of users use their phones. Low light quality is a lot better than the Redmi 4X

Good review. But just wanna ask. Do you think i could vlog on this phone? Or do you have any phone recommendation with this price range that good for vlogging? Where i can record a decent video and can edit to it. Thank you

[@TechLineHD]

Thanks! Yes, you can but you can't expect great quality from a budget phone. I recommend the Nubia M2 for better photos and videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3rSd4qjlL6Dars

[@robertlevison1919]

would you prefer the cubot p20 to the redmi 5 plus ?

For the overall experience which is better between Redmi 4X & Redmi 5 Plus? Thank you.

[@artdogg50]

diecastArts Probably the Redmi 5 Plus, but not by a lot.

[@roupw303]

Cannot decide Redmi S2 Or Redmi 5plus... S2 camera spec seems better but how come 5plus photo are nicer? Which I should I buy? Using for camera, video, GPS... Thanks

[@TechLineHD]

redmi 5 plus is a better choice for your needs and it's a much more premium phone overall. The S2 feels cheap, its display has poor viewing angles etc.

[@roupw303]

Thank you very much!

[@excelc.nnamdi290]

Is there a portrait mode in the camera options?

[@dengoodej4399]

Does it have case?

[@abdulhamidkasyfi9446]

3gb is best for gaming?

[@MitoTrefalt]

Hello. Great review! I am glad you mentioned the update, that was made, to make this phone even better. Is it possible that you please compare the battery life of the Redmi 5 Plus vs Redmi Note 4x? They are pretty similar, but I would really like to know which one has a better battery, even if there is only 1h screen on time difference. Does anyone else have any experience? Thank you.

[@TechLineHD]

Thanks! Sorry, I don't have the Redmi Note 4x anymore

[@qiskkaide5637]

Someone help me out! I'm really loving this phone and feel like I want to get one, but I'm really wondering if this phone is good with gaming high graphics? Like Critical Ops or ROS for example. Help a girl out!

[@prottoyariyan1461]

The performence is great with some microstutters that you wont notice. The only downside is that it takes a shit ton of time to load a heavy game.

[@troy5568]

ROS - play it on near max graphical settings with High FPS Mode on and it will be handled like a beast. SD625 can't handle Ultra though, but that setting is not really that much better than, say Excellent, which provides superior performance overall. I'm also planning on getting this phone soon enough!

[@qiskkaide5637]

Johnny Sins Aw thank you! And good luck! I'm definitely getting one soon now that I know it can handle high graphic games!

[@skefee4304]

Hey Linus. Is it smart move to sell my used Samsung A5 2017 for this phone (brand new) ? I know that my A5 prob. Have better camera but it seems that Redmi 5+ have better performance and stuff. What do you think? Thanks!

[@TechLineHD]

Hey! I actually suggest you considering the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 if you want to sell your Samsung A5 2017.

[@skefee4304]

@@TechLineHD but between these two you suggest me to keep A5 '17? Thanks for answer! :)

[@carliotu]

Should I buy this xiaomi redmi 5 plus or the one plus 3 ??

[@tedarcher9120]

Zulficar hamid depends on what you like better,amoled or ips. Redmi 5 plus has the best ips display i ever seen

[@mrd8005]

Personally I'd get the Xiaomi Mi A1 rather than this. I mean surely it's about $20-$50 dollars more Expensive than this Redmi 5 Plus. But you get a Dual Camera Sensor (That's surprisingly pretty Good), USB Type-C, better Look/Design, Android 8.0 Oreo and a Pure Stock Android. I mean, surely you lose a bit of Battery Life cuz it's 3080 mAh, Fingerprint Sensor (as of now) is a bit slow (but should be fixed in Software Update), No 18:9 Display and the USB Type-C is just a a Standard 1.0 Version of it. But I'd still get that or the Infamous Budget King from almost 1-2 years ago The Moto G5 Plus (Not the G5S Plus) cuz it's almost has the same specs as this Redmi 5 Plus (only missing the MiUI and 18:9 Display) at a lower Price.
