I ❤ my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. Very good 6" screen. Great 4000 mAh battery. Good Snapdragon 625 CPU. Good Adreno 506 GPU. Blazing fast fingerprint sensor. MIUI 10 is awesome. Android Oreo 8.1.

"I'd prefer it in the bottom... personal preference". Instantly thought of innuendo bingo. Haha. Good review on a serious note. I am seriously considering this company's next phone as its likely to be around the time my current contract is up
I'm using this phone on a Wal-Mart family mobile plan and it's working like a champ. I'm wanting to go to stock android but other than having facebook preinstalled there wasn't anything I had to uninstall from the camera. The biggest thing that bugs me about this thing is the fact that It's just an absolute unit. I got it to replace my iPhone 4s that I had for seven years. Great phone, held up to a full road trip of google maps + soundcloud, 8 hours.
Why are people still buying phones (Redmi 5 or Honor 7x) with outdated software? Android 7 is approaching 2 years old, there's no excuse for not shipping with Android 8. Always prefer Huawei over Xiaomi anyday due to software
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X and think MIUI is great. Only thing that annoys are a few Chinese apps that I can't get rid of. However compared to Samsung phones there's hardly any bloat and it works better than touchwiz.
Got my new redmi 5 plus..and wow...its pretty amazing..great phone, great build quality,great performance in a budget price..another improve product of xiaomi..good job.....
I just got mine in and am surprised at how much I'm liking it. I ordered the international version off of Amazon and was worried that it wouldn't work properly in the US. It has only 4g support on MetroPCS and Mint Mobile but I've had no connectivity issues. About the camera, I'd highly recommend installing Open Camera. It has all of the features of the MI Camera app and then some. Also, I've noticed a bit of delay when unlocking and sometimes the screen is overly sensitive. But of course, I'm using Nova Launcher instead of the default UI and that could explain why there's delay
no matter what's the specification is... i just can't stop loving the design of the device.. omg.. completely stunning! I'll going to buy this... maybe for sure
I am super happy whit mine don't care for pictures it's all same to me best is battery I play games and minimum is 24h when don't play much keep 48h easy what is best change for me I was have samsung before and charge every 2 h this is like magic
Like your review, in depth, offering more than just cameras and ram. Not overly demanding and keeping it in line with the segment The product belongs in. If you did a comparison between the 5 and 5 plus, would have been better. All in all, grear review and yes, jack should be at the bottom.
Like the phone reviews as my two kids are always on my back for their first phone (might actually get to use mine if i find them one😕) i have a couple of options now so cheers 😃😃😎👍
I got one of these last week, is great so far, and it updated automatically OTA to official Xiaomi Oreo android 8 a few days ago. Not noticed any substantial differences yet (maybe an option or 2 more in the camera I'm not sure). Runs fast for me!!!
Hey, I want to upgrade to Android Oreo too on the 5 plus but I need to know if you experienced any bugs yet. Is the upgrade bug-free and if they're any could you please tell me what they are
@@Moon420 BulllSh... Doing so all my life with Li-ion batteries. Not once had any issue! I don't charge it at night cause it's not needed, i get 2 days of battery life without any issue, using it through the day also as navigation ending with about 30%, and from there it gets to 100% in about hour using QC 3.0

How hot does your Redmi Note 5 get? Mine reaches 40-41°C while charging. And on sitting idly 37-39°C. While gaming Blitz Brigade (3d FPS) it goes 44°C-45°C. And other 3d FPS games it goes around 42-43°C.
I know this is probably a bit premature but I have only ever had an android with a replicable battery. So my question is how much would the battery cost to be replaced ? Is there a manufacturer's customer service office in the UK / London where this can be done ? I suppose having a third party do the change might invalidate any warranty ?
@ASBYT, why don't you turn off "Auto white balance" on your camera (the one you are shooting video with)? During all the video, the white balance changes all the time and it makes no sense when you are making a static video.
i think the jack is better on top so i can put my headphones and put it on my pocket and exercice, and the fast charge isnt necessary it has a 4000 battery atleast for me is lasting all day, the only thing i dont like is the launcher , im used to the pixel launcher but i use google launcher
Great review. You're very thorough, and fucking hi-larious! I'd save my $$$ and get a better one, for sure. I believe my next buy will be the Elephone U Pro which does come stock Android.
That battery is a lot better than the Oneplus 3 then. I can browse the internet with the brightness rather low for about 5 hours approximately. And things like GPRS are off and no TH-cam.
Do you have notification problem with this xiaomi 5 plus ? I hear a problem when using this phone , use whatsap and facebook aps , notification not show up
I like your videos, very informative and honest...probably one of the few tubers that gives their reviews from cstumer point of view.....anyway I'm gonna be looking to buy a new phone this year, I generally use my phone for movies/tv and music I don't care for pics but a good speakers a must, what would you choose for price range 400 to 500 quid?... again good vid
I think the new remote style key board is nice. It's not going to make me get rid of my blue tooth Rii mini key board. It works far too well. However, the new device is still better than the controller that comes standard with every android box. The comment about you looking better in the dark was funny. Thanks for giving me a reason to smile today. Have fun
Does the xiaomi redmi 5 plus allow you to change your Text message notification sound to choose from your music folder being the music I added? Or does it only allow you to change the message notification sound from the pre-installed sound on the phone??? I am particular about this cause I create different sound for my text messages, ringtone and the sound notifications for app's like viber, instagram, yahoo etc
To bad supported frequencys is a huge problem these days. These dont support the 900 mhz band 8 for 4g which is a total shame and leads to battery drain. Its hard to find a phone that supports all the 2g,3g,4g freq you need.

2:18 I correct this to you, the phone does supports QC3.0, the problem is that the travel adapter given in the box simply doesn't support it.
Redmi 5 Plus does support QC 3.0
It does not come with a QC 3.0 charger but it does support QC 3.0.
Note that the Redmi 5 does not support QC....
Does that mean if it charges using a higher amp charger, as opposed to the stock one, it will charge quicker?
HKdagreat Yes
Yup. I charge it with a QC Charger, it works
Can I use QC Charger of Samsung A720 ?
Aleksandar Joksimovic if that is a Qualcomm QuickCharge compatible charger then yes
WOW! This awesome phone us only $220 here! 😲
That is a great price, especially considering the specs!
I got in Spain for just 157€ (32GB/3GB)
i got it for 147€ in the 4/64 Version in Germany via Gearbest
i got it for 138 dollars 3/32 on ali express
You guys should be grateful...because in Malaysia it cost 800

It has fast charging just not fast charger
greek poke fans no it's not because it has micro USB not type C and it doesn't support quick charge or fast charge,
Maninder Singh it's does support...
Maninder Singh well who told you that only type c ports have quick charge
My mistake guys, yes it does support fast charge. I just know now.

Is the 5 plus is 5 note just diffrent name ?
Is it really durable and water proof ?
I just ordered the Xiaomi red rice 5a. Will let you know what i think when I hammer it. BTW--in China it cost (USD) $129.00 delivered.
What should i choose ... I want a decent camera and a gaming one .... S2? or 5 plus?

bro which would you recommend realme 3 or redmi 5 plus

Does the 4000mah Li-Po battery get into any problem? Because I'm planning to buy this phone
Doesnt this phone have quick charge?
Wanted to know if there's any issue with the GPS. Many forums seem to complain about having weak signal while navigating.

Does support qc
Will it work on 3 in the UK?
How is the 4g?
Is it £150? Don't we get charged import tax in the UK?

Can I overnight charge?
Honor 9 lite vs mi note 5 which is awesome
I've just put resurrection remix on it. I don't see why I should get a Samsung ever again. It's my favourite phone. But the display could be better
Can you put the "back" button on the left in MiUI?
