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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I expected more from buying, but not the worst option.

I've been using this fantastic gadget for a month, and I still can't get enough of it. For the summer of 2022, you should give up hope of finding a phone with a price-to-quality ratio that suits your needs. You should take it; you won't be sorry. After more than a year of use, my initial thoughts have faded: the phone is fine as a dialer and for playing small games every once in a while. But I've decided that this is the only Chinese smartphone I'll ever buy. The program is disgusting. Everything looks to be working normally, however the wi-fi sometimes disconnects, requiring a reboot of the phone, and a particularly repulsive light sensor make it difficult to read. And the MI shell was never my favorite. The experience is ruined by an abundance of advertisements and the inability to uninstall programs. Both the display and the battery life are the sole redeeming features. I'll gladly buy an even more expensive phone from somewhere else than China, though.

Pros
  • The gesture controls were my favorite part; at first they felt strange, but now I can't imagine using the game without them. Autonomy! I put my phone through a lot of use and it stays charged all day. The camera exceeded my expectations; I was able to get perfectly decent shots, even if they were for work. The display is superb, with accurate colors that pop. Create with care! This is not a cheaply made phone; it looks and feels premium.
Cons
  • These are more like suggestions or minor complaints than actual problems: I can't fit two sim cards and memory in my full-sized tray. 2 I'm just not a fan of MIUI. I prefer the clean android experience. 3 Likewise, I've noticed that the phone's automatic brightness adjustment is off; with my previous Samsung galaxy S4, the brightness setting was always just right. 4 Although the included silicone (?) shell helps prevent scratches, the camera's protruding design is still a concern for me.
