Review on Xiaomi Redmi Note smartphone 5 3/32 GB Global, black by Jnis teins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

This is the 4 xiaomi phone I am dealing with. The results are: 1. Redmi Note 3 Pro - nocomplaints, great phone, works now 2. Redmi Note 4 ran out of battery in 1.5 days without use - xiaomi fix the problem with phone falling asleep () in its miui OS for 2 years, it seems like it didn’t I bothered, I had to fix it myself by flashing it, losing the warranty along the way. The phone broke down a year after purchase without the possibility of repair (something happened to the board) 3. Mi Max 2 - everything is fine 4. (this review) Redmi Note 5 - A small battery drain (discharges in 4 days without use, these phones can live much longer - I have RN3, Mi Max 2 lived up to 2 weeks without recharging) - important for me, because. I use my phone more for calls, I don’t really want to charge it often. - With moderate use, lived for 3 days (in total, several hours of browser, instant messengers, calls) - Bugs in the software (quiet sound in headphones) In general, I got the following impression about the phones of thiscompany: 1. Xiaomi makes phones that are great in terms of features, they are a pleasure to use (when everything works as expected); 2. But is not serious about the quality of the software and does not fix significant problems; 3. There is a risk of hardware failure (ofcomurse, Icomuld be unlucky, but I should not ignore this event) I took this into account when choosing a phone, and, in general, I am satisfied with the choice. But xiaomi has a lot to look forward to. As forcompetitors, at this price it is difficult to find a phone with such characteristics. According to the reviews, only the lenovo z5 looks more interesting - but so far it is not noticeable on sale in 2022.

Pros
  • Pretty powerful hardware for its price, a larger screen compared to Note 3/Note 4 at about the same size. Good autonomy with intensive use of the phone.
Cons
  • Already familiar to xiaomi bugs in the software. This time, a quiet sound and a relatively fast battery drain of a sleeping phone. You can cope with the first one by "moving" somewhere, for example, to Argentina (set the region in the phone). The second is to be patient.
