Steve usb is it good for gaming? And if u play hard games straight how many hours that redmi 5 plus play pls reply becoz im planning to buy redmi 5 plus
Damn, a very good compact review. This is the first time literally, i commenting that i feel the review is out weighting the phone, the best review in my opinion so far. Nevertheless, i want that phone!
Great review, thanks! You really explain all the features well.I was particularly interested in the sound quality, and from the review it sounds good enough. Thanks for ur help.
Just bought Redmi 5 Plus phone and I am loving it...!!! Super long Battery, and 9/10 marks for it's screen quality and performance, the Only problem with Redmi 5 Plus Phone is that, there is no Option of changing "Font Style" of the phone, and for the ppl who buy phones only for "Selfie" this Phone isn't that good...Other than that, 8/10 Marks for the whole Phone from my side.
Mi make such good phones here in UK tricky to get still but once you try one you get so much for your money Memory,battery life, build quality and the fastest finger unlock ever Ram too hats off to you as you always review them over the years and look at how much better they have become ACE! 👍
It's a nice phone. I bought one for my grandma, it's quick and the battery is great. I have an OnePlus 5T. If the xiaomi had amoled and oxygen OS it'd super nice
Good review! 👍I like the way you go over the specs, picture quality etc. and a nice even flow when you speak. Keeps it interesting the entire time. Oh, and please don't loose your accent...🙂
My Redmi Note 4X (thanks for your review on that one, helped me choose that phone in the first place) recently died to water damage, and I'm looking for a replacement/upgrade. (I had to work in torrential rain all day, apparently my rain jacket wouldn't prevent water getting IN to my pockets, but the lining was waterproof, so my phone was fully submerged in water for several hours) It's currently between this, the Mi 5X, Umidigi S2, the Honor 7X, and the Zopo Flash X1/2, (although all the media I can find on that is Indian, so maybe not). While Xiaomi products have been of consistently high quality, this seems kinda... _underwhelming,_ so I dunno...
the problem with 18:9 aspect ratio is that it's not widely supported. Watching videos on youtube are not fun since the majority of videos on youtube are made with 16:9 ratio. Well, we can zoom it on 18:9 screen but certainly we'll lose quality and some parts of the video. Beside, most apps still not support 18:9 aspect ratio so that is also another disappointment. Remember that TV contents are all 16:9 and it's universal. So if entertainment and media is a big deal for you, 18:9 won't be fun experience. Still, 18:9 aspect ratio is very new and I hope it will be supported more and more as time goes by.
that was back in the day...now all the apps are supported for the 18:9 screens. TH-cam videos aren't and you are right if you zoom in you loose some quality and also cut the top and bottom off
Como siempre Alex, un excelente video, gracias por compartirlo. Estoy esperando que salga una version con fcc-id y con frecuenta 4g 2100/1700 es decir banda 4. Tu crees que teniendo un redmi note 3 pro , vale la pena cambiar a este telefono?
Or just throw that cash at it. I've found it for 264 dollars in EU where I live and this really looks like a great deal. I used to own Redmi 1s (2014) which was priced similarly. I wish the phone looked like this back then. :-)
Hey Alex, love your reviews. have a question on the phone. Where did you buy it from? I ordered mine from Gearbest, but I'm afraid it might have the ugly screen curvature problem pointed out in the c4etech review of the 5 plus. Yours doesn't seem to have this problem, though.
Usually i buy black phones, but I've grown a bit tired, so I opted for rose gold, so I've come to terms with seeing the besels, it's that imperfection in the corners I'm scared of. Guess I'll wait and see
Yeah, no idea why that's happening. Some phone companies refuse to use USB C on some of their phones, for some reason. I wonder if there's any downside to USB C or if it's just laziness.
I am considering either this or the umidigi c note 2 wich also has great specs and reviews . By the way have they corrected the bad audio quality when recording ?
Hey man, unfortunately the 4G bands don't match the 4G bands. They usually release a global version a few months after the Chinese launch, and those would work.
Thank you Alex. I appreciate your response--fairly quick! ...What about the Meizu 7pro 7. What I'm looking for is a mid-range Amoled display (1080p) at least, that can work in the US 4G LTE, T-Mobile/Straight talk.
if you want a better camera and prefer stock android Mi A1, if you want better battery life and a somewhat cooler looking phone this one

Hi, can you try downloading a video editing app on this phone? Like kinemaster? Just wondering what is the highest resulotion you can import and export on this phone? Looking for video editing phone or tablet in budget. No budget for a laptop. Pls help me bro. Want to step up my vlogging content. Already have a action cam but the problem is my phone only handle 720p in import and export using the kinemaster app.
But why? Its so so so hot and in winter you can ski and start snow fights with snow balls literally on your street without having to drive 9 hours or so, which is what i have to do :(
Have you got any info about MI MAX 3 ? Now I am using MI MAX 1st. version more than a year and it is still a very good phone I think. It's a shame they do not make Android 8 for it. :(
it's very normal, most phones from China won't work on Wind aka Freedom, as it doesn't have the necessary bands. It will work on any other canadian network.
Dear tell me & give ur idea, bcz i hv iph-X jailbroken. I also like android set but do not want expensive android set. Or give me ur advice where i hv to switch ios to android, i am very confuse some time when i see android sets. But i hv bought many time android sets unfortunatly i sold them within one one week. Now what i do in ur great openion???
I'm currently using Redmi 4 Prime, won't be upgrading in a while let's see if the Redmi 5 Prime/Note is released and worth the upgrade or will be waiting for the Redmi 6!
As I have a 4x, I'll say no thanks. I don't see the improvement enough to buy another phone. The camera STILL not having any ois really stands out. I do like what Miui is doing though in terms of stock android.
aaaa...it's a very old one...i think i got in like 6 years ago... it goes in the cd player slot....but i don't remember how it's called... it's very old
Just received the 8.1 Oreo update a few days ago. I hope everyone will receive it soon, if they already haven't.
Thanks for sharing
There's a 4GB/64GB version now too, which seems amazing.
there is, 4gb ram would make a difference for sure
That was a nice review. Love how you reply to almost all comments and care about your viewers. You'll go 100K subs real soon.
thanks, i'm glad you liked it :) Yeah, i try to reply to most comments. Hopefully 100K by April!
Hi Alex please tell me which should i choose Honor 7x or wait for Redmi note 5
Watching on redmi 5plus 😁
Nice! How do you like it?

You're an underrated reviewer my friend..great job..continue doing it..

Meizu m6 note or this? What do you think?
Very good one! And not only the vid but the phone too! What is the keyboard in the background at 2:50 ?
thanks, that is actually a super cheap keyboard that i have been using for almost 2 years: geni.us/Cv8GkQ

i'm happy to hear! Thanks for watching! It's a great phone indeed
Amazing review Alex
thank you for watching it!!
Great review Alex. I've a question... How to get those multitasking gestures you were using
+Fauzan ul Hasan hi, I'm not sure what multitasking gestures you are referring to...?
Redskull you were changing apps with just a swipe
hows the performance of this phone now, since the day you used it?
Great review, thanks! You really explain all the features well.I was particularly interested in the sound quality, and from the review it sounds good enough. Thanks for ur help.
Thanks for checking it out!
Just a little upgrade from Note 4 !
Manjit Sarma yeah basically it's an 18:9 redmi note 4
Anthony Dalamagas yah! 😂
Yeah, not much
Manjit Sarma camera is also better on redmi 5 plus.....
Selfie cam is still crappy 🤣
I will stick to my 4x right now..
What about comparing lenovo k8 and.this 5plus?
Im using redmi 5 plus and its really worth it. Heavy gaming for a budget phone is very good. Very responsive fingerprint.
Just bought Redmi 5 Plus phone and I am loving it...!!! Super long
Battery, and 9/10 marks for it's screen quality and performance, the
Only problem with Redmi 5 Plus Phone is that, there is no Option of
changing "Font Style" of the phone, and for the ppl who buy phones only
for "Selfie" this Phone isn't that good...Other than that, 8/10 Marks
for the whole Phone from my side.

yeah, Xiaomi offers great value...and probably better than most other manufacturers. Thanks for taking the time to check out the video
i want to buy mi a1 or this phone, which one is better?
jenglod tanah both are great depending on if you like android 1 compared to miui which I prefer personal choice re customisation options 👍
I love your notch haircut.
oh no...this comment again
Redskull You use the IPhone X?
It's a nice phone. I bought one for my grandma, it's quick and the battery is great. I have an OnePlus 5T. If the xiaomi had amoled and oxygen OS it'd super nice
thanks for sharing!
Hello Alex. Which is a better phone between the Redmi 5 Plus & a Cubot X18 Plus?
i am waiting to get the X18 Plus, hopefully this week... i can tell you more than
What model of that smartwatch are you wearing and the orange bracelet came along?
that was the Asus zenwatch 2 and the orange strap came with it
OK! thanks for listening
nice video...and kudos for getting your intro back
i'm glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Bought Redmi Note 4 few months ago, so maybe next generation - 6 series, will be my new one :) Hoping for even better cameras and usb-c :)
yeah, i'm hoping to get all that in the redmi Note 5
Good day Alex. Please give me your opinion on the Redmi 5 plus vs the Elephone s8. Which one is a better buy?
I forgot to mention that the Redmi 5 plus I'm talking about is the 4g ram/ 60gig version. Which is a better buy vs Elephone s8?
redmi 5 plus all the way!
Good review! 👍I like the way you go over the specs, picture quality etc. and a nice even flow when you speak. Keeps it interesting the entire time. Oh, and please don't loose your accent...🙂
i don't think i can loose it no matter what i do :d Lots of people hate it!
Hi, can I know what do you do to get 11 hr sot
the canon camera on the desk in this video, what model is that?? thanks
Canon 1D Mark IV
hi alex, for you what is better phone mi note 3 or huawei honor v10?
i haven't had a chance go try the V10 yet...
may i know what is the latest xiaomi phone up to now?
and may i also know what is the better budget phone in xiaomi brand? i'm planning to buy, i hope you give me ideas which to buy, thanks ☺
Great phone from Xiaomi at a great price.
xiaomi always makes the best budget phones...they competition doesn't really stand a chance

Joshua Richard true!
Here I am 6 years later. How bad this comment has aged eh. We are now living in a world where phones are 20:9 aspect ratio
@@ejcubing3622 im still here and im still correct.. 16:9 is still the standard for most videos on youtube.. what are you smoking at?
@@Bodonism that’s strange. Most video I watch are in 18:9
The magic of miui is that they shut dowm three cores out of 8 cores so that it extend battery life. If you gaming and benchmarking, all core turn on.
MIUI has definitely got better! Thanks for checking out the video!
Como siempre Alex, un excelente video, gracias por compartirlo. Estoy esperando que salga una version con fcc-id y con frecuenta 4g 2100/1700 es decir banda 4. Tu crees que teniendo un redmi note 3 pro , vale la pena cambiar a este telefono?
no, si tienes el Note 3 Pro no hay ningun rason a cambiarlo. A lo mejor el Redmi Note 5 va a ser mejor
Redskull Gracias alex, entonces espero.
4:48 ATC! 😍😍😍 Love from Bangladesh
hey man! Thanks!
Hello how many hours less does the battery last on this compared to the Lenovo p2 Xiaomi mi max 2.
you can gget about 14 hours of screen on time
Excellent review. I appreciate that you mention the phone got quick charge rather than Note 4...
thanks for watching! indeed
is this better than lenovo s5?
Just ordered one of these from Aliexpress for £124.63, an absolute bargain. Thanks for your review. большое спасибо
+nongdarko that is an amazing price! Wow
Nice video Alex. Think I'm going to pick this one up.
it's a pretty nice phone, i don't have anything bad to say about it
Nice rewiew Alex as alwais,keep them comming
thank you! I will for sure!
Hi Alex. I have a doubt.
Which smartphone I should buy.
Remdi 5A. Or 10.orD????????
By the way video was awesome
maybe wait and see how the redmi Note 5 will be. Should be coming out very soon
Redskull no dude under 100 dollars. I think redmi note 5 is a bit expensive
ah... not sure... i think you should look for the redmi Note 4...the prices will probably be dropping very soon
Redskull Yes I was also thinking it.
Or just throw that cash at it. I've found it for 264 dollars in EU where I live and this really looks like a great deal. I used to own Redmi 1s (2014) which was priced similarly. I wish the phone looked like this back then. :-)
Nice Video Alex !! Loved it
happy to hear! I tried to do a couple of thing different in this video
Hey Alex, love your reviews. have a question on the phone. Where did you buy it from? I ordered mine from Gearbest, but I'm afraid it might have the ugly screen curvature problem pointed out in the c4etech review of the 5 plus. Yours doesn't seem to have this problem, though.
This was also coming from Gearbest, but no i don't have that issue
I guess it's harder to see on a black model anyway. Too bad I ordered the white one :o
i'm afraid of white xiaomi phones because they always show the bezeles around the screen :)
Usually i buy black phones, but I've grown a bit tired, so I opted for rose gold, so I've come to terms with seeing the besels, it's that imperfection in the corners I'm scared of. Guess I'll wait and see
Do you have some cases that you would recommend
i didn't use any cases or seen any for it..
Redskull thanks for the response
Seems like a great phone, but I just hate the idea of buying a phone in 2018 without USB c on board.
maybe they will bring that for the Redmi Note 5
Yeah, no idea why that's happening. Some phone companies refuse to use USB C on some of their phones, for some reason. I wonder if there's any downside to USB C or if it's just laziness.
Wow Charging speed is improved in R5 Plus.. Awesome Review Sir..
yeah, charges very quick

Very high quality videos, and helped me pick my new phone, the xiaomi mi a1
Happy to hear! Thanks for watching!
Amazing review bro! Keep it up! 👍
Thank you very much for watching!!
Does it have the same DAC as the Mi A1?
I can't say...but I think the A1 sounded better thru headphones
Hey Alex. Nice vid btw. Gotta ask for your opinion. This or the MiA1?
if you need the better cameras get the A1, if you like the new screen ratio get the 5 Plus. Everything else is the same
Redskull regarding the 5 Plus though, how is the Miui on China Rom? Is it full of ads and Chinese translations even on English?
I am considering either this or the umidigi c note 2 wich also has great specs and reviews . By the way have they corrected the bad audio quality when recording ?
i've included a 4k sample that has some audio...you can decide for yourself if it's good enough.
if you want a fone that last longer than 1 year...DONT get umidigi...get xiaomi instead
Hello, Alex. I'm new to your channel... I live in the US and was wondering if this device is compatible with T-Mobile/Straight talk
Hey man, unfortunately the 4G bands don't match the 4G bands. They usually release a global version a few months after the Chinese launch, and those would work.

what should i buy? umi digi s2 lite 64gb or redmi 5 plus ? witch is better on photos, internet, battery life, quality of the screen? ty
redmi 5 Plus
TY FOR YOUR ANSWER !
Great review as usual. But why only 360 resolution on this video?
it's a 5GB 4K video file...but TH-cam seems to be extremely slow at processing the video :(
Great review Alex....I trying to decide between this phone or the Mi A1. Your thoughts?

Good review.
Not many mention about sound quality through headphone jack
i think the headphone jack is very important mostly if you travel anywhere :)
Hi Alex. Very good review, nice job. Can you do review for Nubia m2?
i'm trying to get it!
I love the snow. It's just so beautiful and also makes great photos :D
haha! I love the summer!
But why? Its so so so hot and in winter you can ski and start snow fights with snow balls literally on your street without having to drive 9 hours or so, which is what i have to do :(

Thanks for this review Alex..I like it..👍👍👍
glad to hear! Thanks for watching!
Hello, 5GHz Wifi connectivity is available in Redmi 5 Plus? Thansk for the info :)
hey, yes it supports 2.4 & 5ghz bands
yeah, works good. The range on the 5ghz network isn't the greatest but it's quite normal
Have you got any info about MI MAX 3 ? Now I am using MI MAX 1st. version more than a year and it is still a very good phone I think. It's a shame they do not make Android 8 for it. :(
Very nice review man. I think you have a nice channel.
Thank you very much for watching!
Nice review mate!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it!
I bought the phone. But it doesn't work on my network. Which is freedom mobile here in Vancouver. How come?
it's very normal, most phones from China won't work on Wind aka Freedom, as it doesn't have the necessary bands. It will work on any other canadian network.
Absolutely agreed with you bro , the phone is amazing especially for that price point .

infrared?
What music at 2:47?
i honestly don't remember...it was random when i was recording
Great video man! Really enjoyed it :D
happy to hear, thanks for taking the time to check it out
I'm getting this phone. Its really a good phone I'm shock with the price & how good it is !
it is a very good phone indeed! Thanks for watching!
ALEXI or anyone tell me...what model smartphone in left side in duration 1.03?
Does google playstore is preinstalled?
no, i had to pre-install it myself
You make the phone look really good at what it offers
i like budget phones from xiaomi...i think they offer excellent value
this or meizu m6 note in ur opinion judging overall including everything
yeah, this might become as popular budget device as redmi 4X and Note 4X, great video bro!!
unless the Redmi Note 5 will be much better
Can i get 4G on both sims? Or which phone has that capability?
I only tried one, can’t confirm
Does it any lag on facebooking...?
a bit
Facebook lags on most of the phones
4:48 love from Bangladesh. ^_^
good catch!!
Does the phone work Whit metro pcs?
no, the bands aren't compatible with US carriers. The Xiaomi Mi A1 works with some US carriers
Redskull which ones
This or an S7 Edge? I see you read comments on older videos so please tell me your opinion
I would get the S7 Edge

Should I buy xiaomi mi a1/5x or 5plus? Please help me decide

if you are used to iOS it's not gonna be that easy to switch
Redskull ok Sir u r right i agree with u.
Is it better than the Leeco Le Max ?
the leecoo will be faster but i would still get this over that one
Redskull Sry , messed up writing. I meaned Max 2
Which phone should I get out of the Redmi Note 4, Redmi 5 Plus, Honor 7x?

Redskull thanks!!!
Great phone with affordable price and with upgraded Note4 specs
Thanks for checking it out!!
But note 4 is better, MUCH better housing, note 5 using note 3 housing, with many plastics.
When in India any idea....
no idea :(
