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 sold more than 9.6 million units of it. It was crazy. Redmi Note 4 became the go-to phone for anyone looking to purchase a smartphone under-Rs 13,000 and its popularity spiked in leaps and bounds.

Impressive 18:9 display; Great battery life; Camera creates good pictures; Value for money

No USB Type-C; Dated design

The Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus offers a modern 18:9 display format with small bezels, a good voice quality, a great speaker, a high-quality case, and decent performance values. However, you should not expect too much from the camera and the battery life.

great speaker; good voice quality; hardly any bloatware; bright screen with good color reproduction; fairly powerful performance; high-quality case

problems with the GPS receiver in some apps; slow WLAN; no Android 8 (yet; high power consumption in parts; mediocre battery life

With the same internals, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is just as powerful as its predecessor, only with a brighter screen and a slightly better camera. It's the old Redmi Note 4 disguised under a taller univisium display.

Stellar battery life; Bright 18:9 display; Good camera

Recycled design; Android 7.1.2 Nougat; Recycled hardware

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.

So, no more Redmi Notes, eh Or so we thought until Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi 5 Plus in India calling it the Redmi Note 5. The Redmi 5 Plus certainly looked like a proper successor of the Redmi Note 4 so we're glad the company's lineup naming is back at making sense.

Xiaomi , which is now the top smartphone vendor in India, has officially launched the Redmi Note 5 in India at a starting price of Rs 9 ,999 for the 3GB RAM and 32GB variant, while the 4GB RAM and 64GB version will be priced at Rs 11,999.

Xiaomi serves up the big-screen experience on a shoestring

Amazing screen; good camera; fast fingerprint scanner

No NFC; no waterproofing

While there are plenty of good reasons to stick with locally-certified and available smartphones, the rise of online tech resellers in recent years has made it easier and easier - and more and more tempting - to experiment with smartphone brands that aren't usually available for Australian...

Great battery; Solid performance

Weak camera; Subject to the usual drawbacks of importing a phone

It is very good in all aspects. I am moving from IPhone to this and didn't feel any difference. In fact, the battery life is way longer than iPhone, and the price is half of the same specs iPhone. Go with it and show iPhone the doors.b
