Review on πŸ“± Black Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Global Smartphone - 6/128 GB by Adam Woniak ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what I needed, it's a great buy, I recommend it.

Five stars if measured against the competition; four stars otherwise. Chinese modifications with unlocked bootloaders and no requirement for band 20 in 2022 are the best option for advanced users. There's a good probability of dropping it, the aluminum is slick, the camera will rub on the edges, and it's dangerous to set the screen down, therefore a cover, or at least a silicone piece as a gift, is necessary.

Pros
  • The construction is solid; there is no flex or noise from creaking. With ddrl3 memory, it's a lot quicker than the 625 snaps it can achieve. Greater battery life than even the most powerful 6k smartphone. The firmware is well optimized and packed with useful features. I noticed no issues with the display's visual quality.
Cons
  • The design is terrible, and the speaker and 3.5 mm connector at the bottom are incredibly inconvenient additions. The back is made of slick, scratchy aluminum. If your camera sticks out, you can either push it down or beef it up with some extras, such 4500 mAh batteries. The SD card should not determine the fate of two sim cards, thus why not make the tray a little thicker? Problems with the program itself: They stifled the audio in both loudness and frequency range; the equalizer couldn't rescue me from the muddy bass, so I had to root the device and manually adjust the settings. Added a plethora of useless programs that require root access to uninstall. Additionally, advertisements were embedded into all of the common software. In version 10 of miyuay, the feature that automatically launches Google when you swipe up cannot be disabled. The camera had low frame rates at first, and now you couldn't stand to wait for 4K, so you can just get another one by downloading it.
