Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Black Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Global Smartphone - 6/128 GB by Bogdan Dimitrov แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The average product, you can find a better one.

This is the Xiaomi phone model number 4 that I am working with. These are the results: 1. There have been no complaints about the Redmi Note 3 Pro, and it is an excellent phone. 2. The Redmi Note 4's battery died after only 1.5 days of inactivity; Xiaomi had promised to fix the issue with the phone going to sleep () in its MIUI operating system for the past 2 years, but it appears that they haven't bothered; I had to fix it myself by flashing it, which resulted in the loss of the warranty. One year after the purchase, the phone suddenly stopped working and there was no chance of it being repaired (something had occurred to the board). 3. Nothing to worry about with the Mi Max 2 4. (this review) Redmi Note 5 has a minimal battery drain (discharges in 4 days without usage, these phones can live much longer - I have RN3, Mi Max 2 lived up to 2 weeks without recharging), which is significant for me since. Because I use my phone more for making calls, I really don't want to have to charge it too frequently. - It lasted for three days with average use (in total, several hours of browsing the web, using instant messengers, and making phone calls). - There are errors in the software (the volume is low while using headphones). In general, I was left with the following impression of this company's mobile products: 1. Xiaomi manufactures phones that are fantastic in terms of their features, and using one of these phones is a delight (when everything works as intended); 2. On the other hand, it does not take the quality of the software seriously and it does not address major issues; 3. There is a possibility that the hardware would malfunction (of course, I could just be unlucky, but I shouldn't disregard this possibility). When selecting a phone, I made sure to take this into consideration, and all things considered, I am pleased with my decision. However, xiaomi has a lot of exciting things in store for them. When it comes to the competition, it is difficult to find a phone that has similar attributes at this price point. Only the Lenovo Z5 appears to have a more fascinating design, at least according to the reviews, but the company has not yet announced whether or not it will be on sale in 2022.

Pros
  • The hardware is rather powerful considering the pricing, and the screen is significantly larger when compared to the Note 3/Note 4 at around the same size. Even with heavy use, the phone maintains a good level of autonomy.
Cons
  • Already familiar with the vulnerabilities that Xiaomi software has. This time, there was a small sound, and the phone's battery drained rather quickly despite the phone being in silent mode. You can get around the first problem by "moving" somewhere else, such as to Argentina (by changing the region on your phone), and this should help. The second step is to practice some patience.
