It's not infallible, but the Redmi Note 5 is a great all-rounder and will be hard to beat under £200. It benefits from a very good and well-sized screen, and has a decent camera and usable performance.

A big screen and a low price are paired with decent battery life, usable performance and an enhanced dual-camera in the Redmi Note 5. There are some drawbacks, such as the old Micro-USB port, lack of Quick Charge support and partly plastic build, but in other respects budget phones don't come much better than this.

Odd naming convention and the ensuing availability and model confusion aside, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera makes for a nice upgrade over the original Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. Of course, that's one way of looking at things. This new development and Xiaomi's apparent desire to discourage any easy differentiation within its lineup do beg the question of whether the AI Dual Cam should have been the original and only release.

This latest Redmi Note device changes that, and I still find it quite hard to believe you can get such a capable smartphone for less than RM1,000.

All in all,using the Redmi Note 5 has been a pleasant experience for me although admittedly, there are still some parts that needs improvement. For a mid-range phone though, it has good specs and it proves that it has great camera abilities for its price-range.

In an open letter, Xiaomi Founder, Chairman and CEO Lei Jun said that their mission is to “build amazing products with honest prices.” Looks like it’s a good formula as the Redmi Note 5 offers good mid-range specs like the large high-resolution screen, Snapdragon 636 chipset, great battery life, and premium build, all for just Php11,990. This is certainly not the best mid-range smartphone in the market though, as there are better devices out there if you have the budget. But if you’re looking for the best bang-for-the-buck, this is it.

The Redmi Note 5 isn’t perfect, no matter what Xiaomi diehards tell you: image quality from its dual-cameras are good but aren’t amazing, and that charging time is pretty slow for a device of its caliber. But if we’re honest, those are mostly nitpicking in an overall solid phone. Big battery means it’ll take a while before you completely drain it, a notchless display is heaven sent for the notch haters plus the addition of the SD 636 chipset means the phone is capable of demolishing any and all apps with ease.

If you are a Redmi Note 4 owner, the Redmi Note 5 would be a nominal upgrade, you will fancy the new 18:9 display, the other aspects are identical to the predecessor. It seems Xiaomi wanted to cater for its higher variant Redmi Note 5 Pro, Rupees 2,000 more and you get a dual-camera powerhouse with a great selfie camera. Upgrading your Redmi Note 4 to Redmi Note 5 Pro is rather essential.

Xiaomi's success story, in India, is well worth a study. You can maybe do a documentary film on it. There will be so much to learn, and experience, and to get inspired. The Redmi Note 4 is a major part of that success story. It's done wonders for Xiaomi, and the smartphone market in India. Which is where, its successor becomes all the more important. The Redmi Note 5 has some big shoes to fill, and it does where it can, mostly because it keeps (intact) all the things that made the Redmi Note 4 so (very) likeable, and tries to add a modern twist to it, courtesy its near bezel-less design.

To conclude, the Redmi Note 5 is a modest update to the Redmi Note 4. The smartphone does come with the latest display trend, which gives some good performance. The battery is impressive, but that’s it. The user interface has its fair share of hits and misses and the camera can be considered as a downgrade from Redmi Note 4. So, if you are existing Redmi Note 4 users and want to upgrade, then we suggest you should shed some extra bucks and go for the Redmi Note 5 Pro as it makes much more sense.

The Redmi Note 5 ticks all the right boxes and offers a great package at a great price. For the very first time in years, Xiaomi has competition breathing down its neck. The Redmi Note 5 is no longer the budget king. That honor, punnily enough, goes to the Honor 9 Lite.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is a good smartphone in the price bracket of Rs 9,999. However, the smartphone is surely not the right upgrade for those who have Redmi Note 4. As, apart from larger display and some tweaks in the design there is nothing new that the phone offers when compared to Redmi Note 4. Apart from this, we also feel that the device faces tough competition from the company’s Redmi Note 5 Pro which comes with a starting price tag of Rs 13,999 and offers better specifications and dual rear camera setup. However, for buyers with a budget of Rs 10,000, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is a good bet. However, anyone who has even slightly higher budget should go for Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Overall, Redmi Note 5 is a well-packaged smartphone. While there are a few areas of improvement but looking at the price point, Redmi Note 5 is worth our recommendation. Redmi Note 5 may not have the same premium look and feel like Honor 9 Lite, but its performance prowess gives an edge over the competition.

The great Redmi Note 4, now has a successor and the device is priced at Rs. 9,999 for the 3 GB/ 32 GB variant and Rs 11,999 for the 4 GB/ 64 GB variant. This means the smartphone goes in the market with very stiff competition around it.

Xiaomi has been quite innovative with its Redmi Note series. The Redmi Note 3 (Review) showed us how powerful a phone could while still remaining affordable, and the Redmi Note 4 (Review) impressed us for being power efficient as well. Xiaomi seems to have played it safe with the Redmi Note 5, and it feels like a Redmi Note 4 with a better screen and lower price to keep up with the times, which is not a bad thing at all. It takes a solid foundation and improves on it, giving Xiaomi another good all-rounder. With a starting price of Rs 9,999, the Redmi Note 5 offers tremendous value for money. Those with a higher budget who want a little more in terms of features and power can take a look at the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

On the software side, the Redmi Note 5 would have a greater advantage with the Oreo-out-of-the-box update, but sadly, it is still based on Android N with MIUI 9 on top. Phones in this range have started offering Android Oreo, Honor 9 Lite to name one.

Redmi Note 5 is a 2018 smartphone with a Full View display, though it doesn’t have dual cameras. For some users, especially those on Redmi Note 4, the new phone might seem like an upgrade given the processor is the same and the major change is the display. Still Xiaomi has made improvements to the rear camera.

Simply by looking at the spec sheet, the Redmi Note 5 can be said to be a Redmi Note 4 disguised under a brighter, taller 18:9 display. But spec-sheets rarely tell the full story. Despite having the same hardware, a lower entry-point in terms of pricing means the same hardware is now more affordable, which will allow Xiaomi to welcome more users to its ecosystem. More importantly, those same users will not be left disappointsed.

The Redmi Note 5 is not perfect – the camera still misses the beat – but it is a well-rounded package that one wouldn’t hesitate to recommend – especially if one needs a big screen and long battery life. Packed in a neat chassis, the smartphone performs great and is a compelling smartphone that gets a direct entry into any best-of lists.

这是比较大的智能手机尺寸,也十分常见。
大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
