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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

There aren't really that many similar devices available for the same price as this one. However, you need simply purchase Eurotest (global version) or PCT (to which we confidently add another $3,000–$4,000 for customs). Ban all Asians! I don't know where everyone has been hiding, but there are some minor but extremely annoying downsides to the case. In particular, there is no adaptive brightness option; no matter what I did, the screen brightness was always reduced to an unreadable level. The brightness is something I always have to adjust by myself. Without this vital component, adaptation simply cannot occur. A very uncomfortable little notification LED, but at least now it comes in green and red as well as the previous color, white. Doubtful cost-cutting, too. There doesn't seem to be any good reason for God to equip modern phones with the obsolete micro usb, minus. 3.5 mm jack on the underside, which makes sense but is unfamiliar. The company's position toward government workers is transparent, but the inclusion of a useless infrared port and the omission of a near-field communication (NFC) module, which would have increased sales without breaking the bank, are major drawbacks. Unlike the overwhelming majority of reviewers, I found the camera to be quite mundane and unremarkable. It's unclear why manufacturers are opting to color the backs of smartphones but sticking with white front panels; this seems like poor taste. So the top is red and black because of it. It's true that there are far too many alerts and commercials for the average user to ignore. The gadget is helpful for everyone, unless you have a problem with such minor issues. The battery life is satisfactory, the performance is excellent, the hardware is quite nice, especially if you take 4/64, the screen transmits not awful colors, and most importantly, the earpiece is rather loud throughout the entire duration of usage. At home, I've had a few instances where the connection dropped, but that's on the operator. I would recommend spending this much, or somewhat more, without any sort of backup plan.

Pros
  • Value for money, speed, not a bad screen (but there is one minus, see drawbacks), not a bad camera, looks, build quality, 5.99-inch diagonal, no miserable edge, very loud conversational and external speakers, double tap to unlock, a cover is included, and there is a lot of fine tuning in the shell. Stick of memory. A solid plus, FM radio and much more, with an unpleasant but.
Cons
  • All the benefits of the screen are nullified by the adjustable brightness setting (see comment), and there is only a single color LED. For more on the nitpicky details, as well as the color selections with a white front panel, read the remark.
