I just realized that I didn't cover the Face Unlock! :( for some reason only the black phone from the video has it, the gold one doesn't. It works great and it only takes about a second to unlock the phone.
Redskull Lol, That makes no sense! Were both models the same RAM/Storage model maybe one has the update to enable and the other didn't yet?? No clue but trying some logical guessing! lol
This phone was released in the Philippines. And so many reports regarding forced closing apps. Compatibility issues with MIUI, the rest of game though is good.
Hi from Serbia, good (and complete) review, camera samples are great. Decided to buy this after all, was looking for mi a2 lite but this has more power. Thanks
I'll get this phone. At first I wanted the Mi A2 (when released) cuz I love Android One but I guess I'll have to get used to MIUI. But I hope the RN5 doesn't lag in 2-3 years
Great review as always Alex! In regards to the speaker audio quality, that also depends on the audio source quality. For instance if I listen to a particular song on Google Play Music, than play that same song on TH-cam, TH-cam is almost always quiter in most cases for my tests. I also keep Google Play Music settings on high quality. Something to keep in mind for future reviews .
Great review man.. I love MIUI, think it's really clean! That's interesting that it's using a Micro USB rather than USB-C, but I guess that's not too unusual for a budget phone..
Thanks for the review. When holding the phone in your right hand, do you ever accidentally press the power button? Perhaps also when making a call? It's placed where the right thumb is when holding the phone.
Thanks. I can see some advantages to it being placed there, mainly convenience. But also potentially a problem. Or maybe I'm too fussy. It looks a great phone for the price.
Hello there Alex! I have always loved your reviews! In the next 2 days i will be using this phone and hoping i wont regret buying this phone..i trust your reviews by the way :D more power to you!
Oba su odlični smartphone'i, Mate 10 Lite ima malo bolju kameru, ali Redmi Note 5 ima mnogo jaču bateriju i pritom odličnu kameru. Sad zavisi od personalnih preferenci što više tebi odgovara. Ako si onako veliki multimedijalni user u smislu da dosta gledaš video klipove, slušaš muziku, ili igraš igrice ja bih ti definitivno preporučio Redmi Note 5 jer opet je i jeftiniji a kad sve sabereš bolji od Mate 10 lite.
SHARKY Ma poanta je da vec skoro 6 mj.koristim Mate 10 lite,a neki dan sam si narucio i Xiaomi pa neznam koji da ostavim da mi bude primarni telefon ako me shvacas?!Znam da su u biti ista razina,ali da Xiaomi ima vecu bateriju,jaci procesor,i Oreo a mislim da ima i onaj tzv.face unlock ili kako se vec kaze!
Da ako realno sagledaš ipak prednost ide Xiaomi Redmi 5'ici. Ta baterija je zaista odlična, meni potraje 2 puna dana, a dosta gledam klipove po TH-cam'u tako da nećeš pogriješit sigurno. Jako jako dobar smartphone, klasa za sebe što bi rekli mi iz Crne Gore a pritom je i nov novcijat, sa redovnim update i zaista odličnoj cijeni.
Always love your reviews brother!👍 Really can't see how you can go wrong with this... especially for the money. Thanks for all of your much respected, professional, and unbiased truthful reviews.Old time LG stylo 3 user ready to move on.
well im late for sure but this is the best review ive seen of this phone. and indeed i have watched a lot!!!! just picked it up 64g 4g ram for 143€. i think thats a hell of a deal
Great review as usual. This is indeed a darn nice phone for the price! I will be sharing this one on my website later this evening. As promised shared on the site and you also made my list of "Reviewers You can Trust".
Redskull India and Indonesia as far as I'm aware but I heard that it will be coming to the Philippines in June so I'm glad to hear it's spreading even tho it's doing so very slowly. Btw can you do a follow-up review of the redmi 5 plus? Would like to hear how it's been performing since you last reviewed it.
I've heard the quick charge is blocked on other versions of this phone, should I buy a quick charger for this one? I'm planning on getting it for the holidays ^^
Not Quite The Same Device... The india version uses Sony cameras.. The Chinese version uses the better Samsung modules.. But the Chinese version does not have the Theme Engine that sucks.
Hey man, great review! Will admit though still think that Xiaomi's Mi Mix series remains their best phones, just curious will you be reviewing the Ulefone Power 5 at all? Have you seen the battery on that thing!?
I like this phone Redskull could you try reviewing Teclast A10S I want your opinion to see if worth it Please It $100 tablet with 1920x1200 and all reviews are in other language
Typing this on my brand new Redmi Note 5... I keep on completely losing my network signal a few times or so a day. I did some digging online and apparently this is an issue 😐
Nice job fella! I had to cancel my order for this as Hear best kept pushing the dispatch date back every day, I got fed up of waiting after three weeks - shame but there will be other phones in future Have you changed your main camera lens or is it just the new decor in your room. Looks a bit more cinematic contrast/lighting wise. 👍🔥
Great vid! I somehow can't download stuff into my SD card even if I have it in there and the settings set to external storage for music and gallery. Any thoughts?
Redskull ahh thanks xD I actually just found out my SD card is a fake :( I paid way too cheap for a Class 10 SanDisk and it turned out to be a hoax but thanks for replying :)
one of them came with the regular mail and I didn't have to pay anything for that one, and the 2nd one came with DHL and I had to pay $32 on that one for customs
Redskull Thanks for the reply! Would you mind telling me which link was for the one without custom fees? And did you buy any cases of screen protectors for it?
Before anything are all these links safe to use? why is one page more expensive than the other? Last a 13mp rear camra a big diffrence from a 12mp? My camra rn is 13mp so it would be a down grade but idk.
The links I add under each video are from stores that I personally used. Each store ads it's own prices..can't control that. A camera that has more megapixels isn't necessary better than one that has less. It depends on a lot of factors. As a quick example, the Google Pixel XL is using a 12mp sensor
Sorry for being late to comment, nice review as always, greatndevice at a great price I think. Sadly yesterday my phone was stolen and it means I might be watching your videos later than usual.
Pretty bad actually, worse than Cuba in it worst moments I heard from some cubans here, I don't know how much you want to know, let say it's becoming more and more a prison.
we all believe that, also like the 5 before this one, but nothings really happens, I mean, all people think that, want to protest, got killed and everything goes like nothing happen.
Redskull thanks so much! So i have one more question. Between the redmi 5 plus and the redmi 2s ( the one you said You would review soon) and the note 5 plus, how would u rank them?
Great budget phone really worth the money yet again Alex another great video review matey 👍 always get a thumbs up from me. And a retweet Alex 😂 👍👍👍👍👍👊🏻👊🏻
Redskull Thanks for taken time to reply to my question. Too bad, I was going to get this phone as my back-up phone while I'm sending my P2XL into Google for a listen USB-C port.
Redskull i find it quite good in lowlight. At this price point i can't expect anything better. It's really good at this price even better than some other costlier phones.
I just realized that I didn't cover the Face Unlock! :( for some reason only the black phone from the video has it, the gold one doesn't. It works great and it only takes about a second to unlock the phone.
Redskull Lol, That makes no sense! Were both models the same RAM/Storage model maybe one has the update to enable and the other didn't yet?? No clue but trying some logical guessing! lol
Redskull alex, how about
Open camera 4k
Vs
Stock camera 1080p ?
How are the colors ?
Is it the same as the Rn5pro of india ?
That's because its only enabled when your location is set to China or India
Redskull plz add short video about face unlock. Can I get that option for my Mi 5X ,it run with MIUI 9.5 , Android 7.1.2. thank you for the video .
Xiaomi is racist making black superior 😂😂😂
Using this phone for 2 months now and really happy with the experience, great review Alex, loved it!!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with everyone!
Vishal Giri is this ph LTE equipped?
Betty Yeoh yes
Vishal Giri bro
Is your phone global?
@@vishalgiri5166 can you use another launcher in this device sir???
Came for an unbiased detailed review and wasn't disappointed, Cheers Alex👍
Thank you very much!
This phone was released in the Philippines. And so many reports regarding forced closing apps. Compatibility issues with MIUI, the rest of game though is good.
thanks for sharing with everyone
Aww totoo?
Kevin Delos Reyes hindi
AkoTo Marjon fake report thu
and real question is: is it MI6 X worth nearly double price? I know to say something like this, but Mi5 looks really good
Hi from Serbia, good (and complete) review, camera samples are great. Decided to buy this after all, was looking for mi a2 lite but this has more power. Thanks
This is gonna be the better choice! Thanks for watching!
Impressive phone. Gonna be tough to beat for price/performance. Any chance of a giveaway? 🤞
I'll get this phone. At first I wanted the Mi A2 (when released) cuz I love Android One but I guess I'll have to get used to MIUI. But I hope the RN5 doesn't lag in 2-3 years
Valciney Conceição Just get Nova Launcher if you want stock-like android
Try going for zenfone max pro,better for gaming, bigger battery, but slightly weak on the camera.It would work well if you're the gaming type
Your reviews are getting more brushed up as days pass by. It'll help me in my purchasing decision. Kudos to Redskull :D
Thank you very much!
Hell yeah, another budget king done well by the Chinese Rabbit. At $200 with these specs and this good of a camera quality it has no rival.
they make some many models, it's getting hard to keep up!
Congrats on 100k! Keep up the hard work my friend! :)
Thank you very much!
Redskull Yeah no problem! I also appreciate it when u talk about cellular connectivity in the USA. Can u get LTE with this phone in the states?
Hey Alex, What is your opinion about the back camera image quality and stabilization of this phone?
for the face unlock change region to india , and for better pics with less exposure bug update to new version 9.5.13
Thanks for sharing!
also taiwan
Great review as always Alex! In regards to the speaker audio quality, that also depends on the audio source quality. For instance if I listen to a particular song on Google Play Music, than play that same song on TH-cam, TH-cam is almost always quiter in most cases for my tests. I also keep Google Play Music settings on high quality. Something to keep in mind for future reviews .
you are 100% correct and I didn't think about it till you said it!
Redskull do you play the same song on each review?
Great review...thanks.....Absolutely love the photography and videography in your VLOGS!! Great job!
thank you very much for watching!
Excellent Video Buddy You gained a new sub, Your Videos are Great and awesome and love your Way of reviewing products Keep doing the great work !! 👍😊
happy to hear! Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
I'm sorry about this but I just noticed your hair.... Is that a notch? 😁 Kidding aside terrific review!
yeah, that's what it is
19:9 hair ratio :)
Hahaha
Fuck off haha
Hahahahhahahahahahhahahahahashhahahha. Good one. hahahha
Great review man.. I love MIUI, think it's really clean!
That's interesting that it's using a Micro USB rather than USB-C, but I guess that's not too unusual for a budget phone..
I always wonder...how much money are they saving...like $0.20 per device?
If they make usb type c and full metal body on this phone,no one will buy mi6x
yeah but they should have made it usb 2.0 type c for redmi note 5 and usb 3.0 type c for mi6x. Micro usb is a deal breaker for me
Thanks for the review. When holding the phone in your right hand, do you ever accidentally press the power button? Perhaps also when making a call? It's placed where the right thumb is when holding the phone.
I do sometimes
Thanks. I can see some advantages to it being placed there, mainly convenience. But also potentially a problem. Or maybe I'm too fussy. It looks a great phone for the price.
@@sabbatini2372 You will get use to it. I dont press the power button at all considering the way I hold it.
Thanks. You're right. I now have the phone. Amazing device, if a little wide for my hands.
This or Honor Play? For gaming...
I bought it for $225 with US specs and am using here in New York City. So far it has been performing very well. (4/64 gb one)
Do you get 4G connectivity in the US? What carrier are you using?
Im using both AT&T and T-Mobile and am getting LTE on both in NYC.
Man I love your t-shirt! I think this phone gonna be my next phone or I can wait till they improve the camera further.
I think I have the perfect video for you coming tomorrow!
Redskull alright!
You are the most trustable Tech-TH-camr
Thanks for watching!
Great job Alex!
My question to you: After using mi 6x and redmi note 5, which one sounded louder and better?
Thanks
they sound very similar, but I feel the Mi 6X has a bit deeper sound...probably because of the full metallic body
I must say Alex, the video quality of this phone was quite impressive considering the price!
yeah, impressive for sure
If you think mr. What is best phone the NUBIA M2 or REDMI NOTE 5 AI?
Note 5 AI
Ahh thanks for reply..
How is the quality from the ear/headphones ,bass, etc?
great, load and with enough bass for my taste
Redskull thanks.. Tou earned a subscriber. Keep the good work!
Thank you for this incredibly detailed review!! Best review I've seen for any phone. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much for checking it out!
can you take photos with 16:9 ratio? or 18:9? what resolution?
I'm confused to choose between mi note 3 and redmi note 5. Which one is better? Or it would be nice if make a comparison video
note 3
Hello there Alex! I have always loved your reviews! In the next 2 days i will be using this phone and hoping i wont regret buying this phone..i trust your reviews by the way :D more power to you!
you won't regret buying it! Enjoy it!
Thanks for the review! You are one of the best reviewers I've watched.
Best review I've seen for this phone so far
What quick charger u used to charge under 2 hours?
Alex.. which one has the Theme Engine Global? Internaional? or Both??
The Chinese ROM
Which one would you choose?Mate 10 Lite or this and why?Which one is better?
Oba su odlični smartphone'i, Mate 10 Lite ima malo bolju kameru, ali Redmi Note 5 ima mnogo jaču bateriju i pritom odličnu kameru. Sad zavisi od personalnih preferenci što više tebi odgovara.

SHARKY Ide definitivno prednost Xiaomiju,i da cijena je vise nego dobra!
I never got to try the Mate 10 Lite...can't say
watching with my note 5! really awesome
Does this phone has notifications led please?
yes
Always love your reviews brother!👍
Really can't see how you can go wrong with this... especially for the money.
Thanks for all of your much respected, professional, and unbiased truthful reviews.Old time LG stylo 3 user ready to move on.
hey, thank you very much for watching! I think the Stylo 4 is coming out in a few weeks
This phone or samsung j5 2017?
Great review Alex!
BTW does this cellphone work in USA I have T-Mobile SIM card and if would it be 4G or 3G?
It would only work on some 3G bands...not exactly made for the US bands unfortunatley
Yes it does. Get the US specific one. Mine gets LTE on both AT&T and T-Mobile as i use 2 SIM cards.
Should I buy the honor 7x or redmi note 5?
Didn't try the 7X, can't say
well im late for sure but this is the best review ive seen of this phone. and indeed i have watched a lot!!!! just picked it up 64g 4g ram for 143€. i think thats a hell of a deal
Great review as usual. This is indeed a darn nice phone for the price! I will be sharing this one on my website later this evening. As promised shared on the site and you also made my list of "Reviewers You can Trust".
what's your website?
tabletserver.com/wordpress
I really enjoyed your test of the Redmi Note 5. Thank you.
Alex, Who has better camera
Mi a1 or RN5??
Note 5
Redskull Thanks bro.
And one question, Is good lcd and bright?
Great job as usual! You should try reviewing the Asus Zenfone Max Pro m1, It gives the redmi note 5 a run for its money.
i've heard many good things about it...but it's only available in India at the time
Redskull India and Indonesia as far as I'm aware but I heard that it will be coming to the Philippines in June so I'm glad to hear it's spreading even tho it's doing so very slowly. Btw can you do a follow-up review of the redmi 5 plus? Would like to hear how it's been performing since you last reviewed it.
The Zenfone is more expensive and the battery is the only thing better about it than note 5, everything else is much better in Redmi.
It´s a pity that this mob hasn´t got multi-colour LED
I've heard the quick charge is blocked on other versions of this phone, should I buy a quick charger for this one? I'm planning on getting it for the holidays ^^
any 2A charger will work with it
great video ... greetings from Macedonia !
Thanks for checking it out!
hi... what app is that at 9.18 ? thanks... great review, subscribed
hi, that's the gps test app
what's the name of the app? care to share?
is this phone better than the Honor 7x?
Amazing over review Alex keep it up as always
thank you very much!
Which phone has better camera? this one or the mi note 3?
I am gonna say that the Redmi Note 5 is better for daytime pictures but the Note 3 is better for low light pictures
Is this the Note 5 Pro?
I'm assuming there's only one model with the Snapdragon 636 and the other Note 5's are Snapdragon 625?
So confusing...
yes, this is known as the Redmi Note 5 Pro in India and the Redmi Note 5 anywhere else in the world. Same phone, but different name based on location
Not Quite The Same Device... The india version uses Sony cameras.. The Chinese version uses the better Samsung modules.. But the Chinese version does not have the Theme Engine that sucks.
change your region to india and you will have themes store and face unlock
This still the best for under 200? looking for 4gb/64gb model
it is the best for the price
Better camera? Redmi note 5 or nubia m2;
Note 5
You touch every points of this phone Gps or sensors game's to camera Great review
Thank you very much for watching!
Very nice review, very clear. Can you compare it to Redmi S2 (Can you review it as well) Thanks!
i'm getting the S2 in a couple of days. I will than
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Support Aptx HD Y/N ?
Awesome Review👌
Thank you very much!
Which is the best note 5 pro or note 5 ai ?
they are the same phone, but named differently for different markets
Hey man, great review! Will admit though still think that Xiaomi's Mi Mix series remains their best phones, just curious will you be reviewing the Ulefone Power 5 at all? Have you seen the battery on that thing!?
I was supposed to get it this week but I'm not sure what happened to it... hopefully soon
Awesome review and very detailed !
NOTE 5 Does it have auto focus?
yes
@@RedskullPro🎉🎉
Great Review! i am still happy with my redmi 5 plus. camera isn't special but its ok as i use canon eos 1300d for photos
the redmi 5 is still a great phone !
make comparison between redmi 5 plus and redmi note 5 :) will be interesting
i love the area in which you live. surroundings are very beautiful. from where you are bro?
Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
Great Alex as always gw 🔥🔥🔥
thank you very much for checking it out!
Great review sir planning to get soon the 3/32gb version
nice! It's a great phone!
The audio bitrate is low. Is it possible to record with better quality using a different app ?
it's not...you get the same sound no matter what app you use
This phone support quick charge ?
it does, QC 2.0
Thanks for the review. I have finally decided to purchase this mobile phone.
great choice!
You are the best smartphone reviewer!
some days :) Thanks for watching man!
Great review!! Subscribed immediately :)
awesome, happy to hear! Welcome to the channel!
I like this phone
Redskull could you try reviewing Teclast A10S I want your opinion to see if worth it
Please
It $100 tablet with 1920x1200 and all reviews are in other language
i'll see if I can get my hands on it quick enough
Typing this on my brand new Redmi Note 5... I keep on completely losing my network signal a few times or so a day. I did some digging online and apparently this is an issue 😐
Great video! Very professional video.
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus and Redmi note 5 wish one do i buy please?
Nice job fella! I had to cancel my order for this as Hear best kept pushing the dispatch date back every day, I got fed up of waiting after three weeks - shame but there will be other phones in future
Have you changed your main camera lens or is it just the new decor in your room. Looks a bit more cinematic contrast/lighting wise.
👍🔥
same camera and lens...just have been playing with some lights...
Redskull Looks good dude 👍
Do you think you'll get the Nokia 7 Plus?
No...i don't think I will :(
Is it worth it? Yes it is
Is this thing can shoot 4K? Yes you can via open camera app
Is it beast? Yes Definitely
Great vid! I somehow can't download stuff into my SD card even if I have it in there and the settings set to external storage for music and gallery. Any thoughts?
it depends on the app you are using. You could move the files on the sd card after you download them on the internal storage
Redskull ahh thanks xD I actually just found out my SD card is a fake :( I paid way too cheap for a Class 10 SanDisk and it turned out to be a hoax but thanks for replying :)
Nice one again....... I still prefer the mi 6x!.......... with love from Nigeria, Victor.
same here
it's waterproof???
no
Hey, since you live in Canada...did you have to pay duty fees on your Note 5?
one of them came with the regular mail and I didn't have to pay anything for that one, and the 2nd one came with DHL and I had to pay $32 on that one for customs
Redskull Thanks for the reply! Would you mind telling me which link was for the one without custom fees? And did you buy any cases of screen protectors for it?
Before anything are all these links safe to use? why is one page more expensive than the other? Last a 13mp rear camra a big diffrence from a 12mp? My camra rn is 13mp so it would be a down grade but idk.
The links I add under each video are from stores that I personally used. Each store ads it's own prices..can't control that. A camera that has more megapixels isn't necessary better than one that has less. It depends on a lot of factors. As a quick example, the Google Pixel XL is using a 12mp sensor
Redskull I have another question, if i buy this phone can i add data to this phone with my phone company or how does that work?
Good review mate. Thanks.
hey man, thanks for checking it out!!
Sorry for being late to comment, nice review as always, greatndevice at a great price I think.
Sadly yesterday my phone was stolen and it means I might be watching your videos later than usual.
how is the situation in Venezuela?
Pretty bad actually, worse than Cuba in it worst moments I heard from some cubans here, I don't know how much you want to know, let say it's becoming more and more a prison.
yeah, I was watching the news... those elections were probably rigged
we all believe that, also like the 5 before this one, but nothings really happens, I mean, all people think that, want to protest, got killed and everything goes like nothing happen.
Excelent review, good work!!
Thank you very much for watching!
So it doesn't have "Double tap to wake" or it has it...? Didn't quite understand you there.
It has
it has it
Is it worth it paying the extra for this one or getting the xiaomi redmi 5 plus?
better cpu, better cameras, I would try to get the Note 5
Redskull thanks so much! So i have one more question. Between the redmi 5 plus and the redmi 2s ( the one you said You would review soon) and the note 5 plus, how would u rank them?
Great budget phone really worth the money yet again Alex another great video review matey 👍 always get a thumbs up from me. And a retweet Alex 😂 👍👍👍👍👍👊🏻👊🏻
thanks man! no re-tweet here :D
Redskull there are on twitter buddy 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
redskull ur the best!
Thanks! You are also the best for watching!!
The SIM tray in 0:47 2 x Nano SIM card and 1 TF card can be inserted at the same time. Is this TRUE?
the 2nd sim tray that you have seen in the video was from the Mi 6X. The redmi Note 5 can take eith two sim cards or a sim card and an sd card.
That is written on the GEARBEST selling page.
Great review is that already Global Version?
the gold one was running the global rom, the black one the Chinese rom
Do you know if this phone work on Freedom Mobile in Canada?
it will not work with freedom :(
Redskull
Thanks for taken time to reply to my question. Too bad, I was going to get this phone as my back-up phone while I'm sending my P2XL into Google for a listen USB-C port.
Awesome video the review is also super i like it . The design of the phone is super
thank you very much!
Thankyou ..I like the note 5 but been watching reviews on the Asus which same chipset SNP 636 but I prefer stock android btw
I've heard good things about that phone but I don't think I will be able to get it
*I am using Redmi Note 5 Pro and camera is really Awesome !* ❤️
how do you find it in low light...i find it very hit and miss... some pictures turn out good...some not so much
Redskull i find it quite good in lowlight. At this price point i can't expect anything better. It's really good at this price even better than some other costlier phones.
You are using the pro, alex reviewed the Chinese variant
Yosk Even the pro is also too good.
Nice video man u get my sub =)
thank you very much!
