Xiaomi serves up the big-screen experience on a shoestring

Amazing screen; good camera; fast fingerprint scanner

No NFC; no waterproofing

Very nice phone! I'm so impressed about the battery (I had the redmi note 2 like 3 years ago and the battery was so bad!) but the battery here last 2 days when I use my phone a lot and 3 to 4 days when i don't not really use it! Such a nice phone!

Xiaomi's Redmi Note series has long been our value-for-money winner. As a rule of thumb, these phones have offered exceptional performance in their class and are usually paired with an above average display and camera.

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 5 smartphone in India last week. As expected , it is the same Redmi 5 Plus that was introduced in China back in December last year, which is not a huge upgrade except for the full-screen display, camera and the selfie flash.

18:9 Full screen display is good; Good build quality; Good battery life; Decent camera

Same old design; Hybrid Dual SIM might not be preferred by everyone

Phone works good so far. Battery life last the whole day with heavy use of games, plus gps and other browsing task. Camera is a plus, its one of the best camera ive seen on a budget phone. Cant really find anything negative so far
