MIUI 10 update There was a problem with the imo video call not clear Plzzzzzz
Great video as always! Have you taken a look at the one mix yoga 7inch tablet or the GPD pocket 2?
They are a bit expensive but might be interesting for the channel.
@@bonnome2 no plans to sorry
Excellent review. Your phone reviews are the best on TH-cam in terms of info etc.
Can you recommend some docks for the phones you review eg. 9:18 is that any good? I see many docks but not many that fit the phone exactly right.
The apps appeared because you set the region to india
So you can't get face unlock without putting up with ads?
There is Indonesia,Hong Kong... Try those they dont have a lot of bloatware
Ah really that was the reason? Thank you. Still shouldn't have happened.
@@Techtablets mi India is quite a bit different than mi global....
Yeah that's true, it happened to me true 😓
All of those "bloat" are actually very popular apps in India.
Did you set region to India?
Xiaomi in India is investing in startups. They probably invested in Dailyhunt. It's a newsapp.
PhonePe is the payment app of Flipkart , who is an authorised distributor to Xiaomi Online in India.
so thats why. I changed my region to india to get the face unlock feature and got those icons too.
@@julskechap yes exactly. They have a partnership that needs them to install the app if the phone is bought. So don't know if it should still be counted as bloat...
As I was upgrading the firmware of a 4X in TWRP, there was a half gig cust partition full of apks. Googling it, they say it is for region specific apps. My guess is, you may have triggered the installation of them when you switched to the indian region.
Yeah, I thought the same thing.
Those apps came because of the region change u did to use face unlock. Those are Indian specific apps.
>its not an upgrade
>lists a few upgrades
Great reviews! Have this phone now! For me, I love it! It is absolutely AWESOME..Especially the four cameras and stabilized video...Fantastic gaming on my NBA 2K18 and Ashphalt...COOL!!!
Found your reviews and they have been excellent and very helpful in deciding between the Redmi Note 5, Note 6 Pro and Mi Max 3. The Note 6 pro does have 3G B4 frequency support where the Note 5 does not. This matters to me as I travel to the US. I'd appreciate more comparative discussion on that international aspect as well as comparative performance of the GPS reception between phones and a rating. Also when setting the "remove notch" setting within the Note 6 pro does this effectively square the screen off under the notch for all running apps or do you still miss part of the screen where the notch is despite the setting being enabled?
*I hope this will be launched as Redmi Note 6 in China and India & a Redmi Note 6 Pro with different processor will be launched in India & China exclusively*
You did a very detailed review. Thank you very much. Do you know perhaps if this phone supports the Galileo GNSS ? Some sites like GSMarena says it does some others say it does not.
Great review like always, Chris! Will you be ordering and reviewing Honor 8X? Thank you
Dear bro
I watched your two reviews today. I just want to buy a phone and thats why i am watching a lot reviews. I am watching reviews since morning. But your reviews are different. Your reviews are honest. I am from India.
A disappointment to be honest. Xiaomi from 2 years back would've thrown in a SD670 or even a 710 for a similar price. It's still a good value yes, but not really an upgrade from the old one, or a game changer in any way.
Ya, 670 or 710 would both have better efficiency and power
660 should be suffice.
They give the best quality-price phone and are you complain about that? I would prefer they gift the mi 8 but is a company...
But, mi8 se, for example, it's at 250 dollars in AliExpress, is not big the price difference (the note 5 is less than 170 dollars)
@@coquequique250600 I'm not complaining, I'm saying it's not a good upgrade from the Redmi Note 5. Also, there are arguably better value for money phones out there like the ZenFone Max Pro ($150) and Realme 2 Pro (SD660 at $190), but sadly they're only available in Asian countries at least for now, and either cannot be imported or overpriced. My point being Xiaomi definitely could have done better.
@@coquequique250600 the reason I agreed with 670 and 710 it's because 660 it's basically 636 with slight overclock while 670 and 710 have different configuration 2big + 6 little and use newer architecture and have awesome camera processing unit and is 10nm vs 14nm
And yes it's greedy but with pocophone everything changes,
Also right now realme pro 2 is better phone than this.
Thank you for another good test. I keep my RN5. Since MIUI 10, Redmi Note 5 offers video in 1080 px, 60 fps with stabilization. I tested Snap Camera HDR: amazing, especially in low-light video! Try it out.
The bigger screen is actually making a big difference. Also the camera is noticeably better than N5.
Front camera is much sharper, for for those that need it and dont haev th RD5 it's worth gettng for the better front camera.
@@Techtablets I mean the back camera is better as well, there are comparisons N6 vs N5 on TH-cam
@@ekklesiast RN6 only seems to have better dynamic range in video than RN5ai. Saturation on photos taken was compromised in RN6 than of RN5ai. Brighter though.
what's the song's name that u play on 16:00? sounds like it is come from a music library, I couldn't find it with shazam and soundhound.
This was a really great video!!
I would like to ask that if a i have an older phone (redmi note 4) is the redmi note 6 pro worth to buy or should i go for a redmi note 5 instead? (In my country there's like 10 dollars difference in price)
I always Love your very detailed Review Videos. Keep up the good work.
El mejor análisis completo que he visto hasta ahora :)
Will you review the Xiaomi Gaming laptop with the Intel 8750h? Great reviews as always. :)
You've always have a very detailed review and pros & cons of the devices, which is why I love this channel XD, greetings from Indonesia ;)
Crisp photos. Beautiful environment you live in! What country & city do you live?
So, iv actually a redmi note 3, you think that this model is a good upgrade ? thx for your video.
Excellent review as always. I’d be curious to know if Malwarebytes finds anything questionable on the phone. That auto installing bloat ware is very concerning. I wonder too, if it will reinstall again.
It was because I changed the region it auto installed bloatware for that region.
TechTablets.com Good to know. Thanks!
which one do you recommend to buy: redmi note 6 pro or redmi note 5? The price from where i can purchase it is the same...
If you choose between that two which one you choose? Please help me, beacuse I'm planing to buy this month but still dont know which one between RN5 or RN6 I'm going buy. I need your honest answer please. Thank you..
Chris please review the Realme 2 Pro and let's see if that's a better choice over these lowend phones.
Have you gotten the 4K video working yet?
Best reviews out there! Thanks for the great work bro!
Looks good. Was waiting for a bigger upgrade though.
Have you noticed Xiaomi pushing more ads through MIUI?
Greg Dalton go for mi 8 lite
Miui, is a mess ads every its peculiar that Xiaomi's doing this in system apps
I think those apps magically appear because you changed the region. I changed mine to Hong Kong and two apps were auto installed. For different regions, Xiaomi have different apps targeted at those markets. HKG region will get the Mi Store app.
I have a important question. Since the metal back is rounded does that mean the sides are made from plastic? If so that's a downgrade
When you change the location to India those apps show up automatically.
Hey Chris, happy sunday.
Are you going to review the honor 8x max?
Thank you
Great phone and also good value for money I paid it only $ 228 4/64 variant
Does your phone have the notch issue? Look closely check if the screen lines up properly with the notch. I've seen another review where there's unused screen on left/right of notch, it just doesn't fit right.
Thanks Chris, great video.
When he set the region to India, the preloaded apps in the Indian Rom installed on it's own. That's what happened.
the call quality is best in redmi note 6 pro or 5 pro ? plz i want a honest answer before i buy one of them
Hey Chris,
The xiaomi bloatware apps appear because you set the region to India. If you set region to some Europe country these apps remain hidden because of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I have seen the same on my redmi note 3 pro
Also the face unlock seems to be just "picture" unlock. In your test, i believe if you would scan just your face it would not unlock because the mic setup wouldn't be there.
Although I love reading this toxic comment section (lul) I do believe this phone is a minor upgrade to the note 5/5 pro. Front camera is noticeably better in terms of quality and exposure and the rear one looks mildly better if not the same. Screen is larger with a higher resolution and although an LCD, it seems to be quite good (Trying to avoid referring to the Notch...). The design looks more elegant and, as you mentioned, the phone has a better grip to it thanks to the plastic, although, there is of course a higher plastic to metal ratio now. I rarely tend to check my notification LED and a duller one won't be the end of the world (For me at least). I mean seeing as the antutu score is also close to 116.000 this phone is amazing for its price. If you already have an note 5/5 pro, no you shouldn't upgrade to this phone. But if you are between buying the note 6 pro and the note 5/5 pro I'd recommend you buy the 6 pro. After all the Notch can be hidden in the display settings.
good review as always, the only problem i'm facing with xiaomi is the amount of phones they launch every month, it is crazy u don't even have time to enjoy your phone and already another one is launched, that will affect the costumers if they try to sell the phone.
anyway u can play pubg with high settings if u use an app named GFX tool.
New day, now Xiaomi phone (Well almost) Yes too many releases from them.
Does the screen area next to the notch, does it show notifications in the notch area?
Can I ask a question about what Iam going to buy? Uhhmm. Which I should buy? Huawei Nova 3i or Redmi note 6 pro?
Great work dude thanks
I stay with my redmi note 5 and i love it! Im not going to upgrade with that ugly notch design.
I'm note 5 pro too
You can remove notch from settings.
Me too
Yup. Still with my Redmi Note 5. Notches are a fucking nuisance
can you move out the home and return button with the redmi note 5 ?
Awesome review. But we need more portrait photo with back and front camera in both low and daylight condition. Thanks
Thanks for your consistently high quality reviews. I have the Note5 whyred and since miui 10 the screen seems noticeably brighter. This is giving much better sunlight performance. I definitely will not be changing!
Should I go with RN6 or RN5? I don't own any of those 2 but I'm really confused right now
i didn't got what you said about playing PUBG, if i disable "notch" in settings, will i be able to see the portion of the game that was hidden due to the notch?
does the zoomed pictures are from a secondary camera optical zoom?
can you enable the small apps notification icons in the notification bar near the clock, like in other Xiaomi phones
Good video thank you.
But why they had so big notch and not same as the pocoF1 infra red face unlock ?
For you on photos vidéos the RN6 Pro is better than the pocoF1 ? Or pocoF1 is better ? Thank you.
Cant watch videos on full hd on poco 720 max
You were testing a 3GB RAM version, no wonder 4K+EIS didn't work. But it should have worked without EIS enabled.
Chris, thank you for this nice review.
Yeah upgrade,
NOTCH UPGRADE
adi irfan You paid $5 more for extra front camera + notch, can't expect much this year, Xiaomi will milk the 636 until it got replaced like the old 625.
+Face unlock
-Notifications
Thanks Xiaomi, very fucking useful!
BTW techtablets, please make a review with Google Camera new port that works in all xiaomi Snapdragon 845. In your review some of those were bad? like mix 2s etc, please make a comparison! :)
Would you recommend this over the Redmi 5 plus?
Excellent video as always!!!
Can you do a comparison between this and the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite (4GB/64GB)
And also the Huawei Nova 3i
Please, it would be amazing!
Thank you! :)
P.S. Which would you recommend for the best "bang for your buck" phone!?
hey !! , if i have xiaomi mi a1 is worth it to buy the redmi note 6 pro ??
Thanks like always for great review. Now I know i will go with Redmi Note 5 !!! That notch!!! :(
Speaking of notches are you going to review the A2 lite?
They were like oh yeah, I guess the iPhone X has a notch, let's add that and leave everything else the same.
Nice Video As Always Sir....But Please Can U Test The Mi 8 Lite?
Great review, but not really an upgrade to the RN5. The only ➕ to it is the nudge n the curved line at the back
This or the note 5 ai? I can't choose. I'm planning to buy a new phone.
Actually, the stock app camera has an upgrade in manual modes. You should try it
You can set up region in Singapore to unlock face unlock feature so you won't get bloatware apps from India.
Nice Review
Thanks for sharing Chris
Nooo. I just bought my Redmi note 5 64gb :(. Is it worth switching?
Is there any chance to get a review of honor play...it looks kinda interesting for sub-300€ phone.
Hey mate, does it have a front face flash like the RN5 ?
Nice review as usual, thank you.
What's that dock you have the phone on ? I assume it charges it via UISB ? I'm looking for one for my Redmi Note 5.
Oh it's just a stand.
let me tell you. the bloatware comes from the region settings. Try change your region back to india or indonesia, china etc, they will install several apps acording to that country.
Great video!
What’s the song at 15:41?
Song name ? 15:55 ???
I have Redmi4x 3GB/32GB Rom. It's worth a change in Redmi Note 6 Pro?
I'm 100% glad they're keeping the micro-usb. I understand flagships should have usb-c cause that's the ''future'' but for the average consumer like me there's no reason to not have micro-usb, everyone still uses it.
Love the redmi note series, my main phone since the note 2!
Loving the new 4K format 👌👍
New? I've been recording in 4k since 2015 :)
if you please some users said that it has a problem with connecting to wifi and do you think it's better or huawi y9 2019 please try to reply on me
I bought Redmi Note 5 4/64 because it was without notch. Not a reason for upgrade. But I like how they upgraded backside. Its not that ugly as that on Note 5.
I like it the redmi note 5ai, you dont have to deal with that unproportional screen, notch is just a hype and not really a function...
does note 5ai records 4k videos ?
this is a very good phone considering the price. just a slight price increase from the previous model
Thanks for your review Sir!
I prefer to have rn5ai.
Good choice its very solid.
the bloatware apps came when u changed the region they are standard with India as they have deals with those apps
they are not random appearing out of nowhere you changed the region midway
Right, just didn't expect that.
The curve of metal and plastic of back looks like the one on my g5 plus (and that's actually a good thing as it really looks nice)
Song name ??? 15:55 ???
can you do comparison between the camera of redmi note 5 and poco F1 ??? Really hope that you'll do it
This or regular Redmi 7? (Not note 7)
Should I go for the RN5 or RN6 pro?
If you can do a full review for honor 8x, it would be much appreciated
Good thing there is only tiny difference, I just bought note 5 ai instead of note 6 because i hate the notch, also selfie isn't my thing
Perfect comparison so keep this way and I subscribe you 👏🤝
Bro do you have the shadowing on the notch? I have one on my mi 8 lite
Unique review congratulations 🎊
Does it comes with dual sim card and sd card slot?
12:50 does the hiding the notch on the pocophone do the same effects?
thanks! my go to review site !
Are you gonna review anytime soon Xiaomi MI8 lite please?
Nice review. 👍
The reason why bloatwares were added is because you changed your Region to India. Some regions automatically add their apps. 😊
