I have ordered the redmi note 5 AI 4/64gb global version on aliexpress. It should get to me in 2 weeks time hopefully (I can't wait for it to land). But I understand it doesn't come with tempered glass. Can I get one from any trusted dealer here?

Thanks for your honest opinion. Could you state the reason for your choice? I mean, what are those areas in which the Z5 triumphs the Note 5.

Anticipating your response. wink

VARIANTS

The Lenovo Z5 is available in two variants: 6gb ram with 64gb memory, and 6gb ram with 128gb memory.

The Redmi Note 5 Pro is available in three variants: 3gb ram with 32gb memory, 4gb ram with 64gb memory and 6gb ram with 64gb memory.

To perfectly compare both, you'll need to look at their 6gb ram with 64gb memory variants.

PRICE

The 3gb ram variant of the Note 5 is
cheaper than the z5 but the 6gb ram variant is more expensive or around the same price as the z5. I think it's more expensive though.

CAMERA

The note 5 has 12+5 mp rear cameras while the z5 has 16+8 mp rear cameras. The z5 has better picture quality and takes better pictures in low light conditions than the note 5.

The note 5 has a 13 mp (not 20 mp as is often said) front camera while the z5 has a 8 mp front camera. I read somewhere that the z5 does not have front flash. I don't need it anyway so I don't mind

The z5 has Artificial Intelligence (AI) in its front and rear cameras while the note 5 only has AI in its rear camera.

FEEL

The z5 has a more premium feel. It has a notch and is covered in gorilla glass 3 in its front and back.

The note 5 looks like your regular Android phone. While it has small bezels, it's not as small as the z5.

The note 5 only has gorilla glass in its front but not its rear. The gorilla glass model is unnamed and there are speculations that it's not even gorilla glass.

COLOURS

The z5 is available in three colors: one is black and the other two are shades of blue. The blue colors are very dope and cost about $10 more than the black.

The note 5 is only available in the regular black, blue and gold colors.

USB

Z5 has USB 3.0 while note 5 has USB 2.0.

FAST CHARGING

Both support fast charging but only the z5 comes with a fast charger. You'll need to buy a Qualcomm certified fast charger for the note 5.

RELEASE

The z5 is newer than the note 5. It was released earlier this month while the note 5 was released in February. The note 6 will even be released anytime soon -- probably around September. This means the note 5 is about to become "outdated".

BATTERY

The note 5 is the winner here. It has a bigger 4000 mAh battery compared to the z5's 3300 mAh battery.

SIMILARITIES

SCREEN

The z5 has a 6.2" screen while the note 5 has a 5.99" screen. Both are curved around the edges though the note 5 seems to have a steeper curve.

The z5 has a higher screen resolution than the note 5. But that doesn't make much difference since the z5's larger screen made it end up with a pixel per inch (PPI) of 403, just like the note 5.

OTHER SIMILARITIES

Both support dual SIM and memory cards but you'll need to sacrifice the second sim slot to use a memory card.

They both have the earphone jacks but none comes with an earphone. They also have the same processors and come with free pouches.

They also have their own user interfaces, ZUI for the z5 and MIUI for note 5. I don't know which is better but I don't mind. They're both Android anyway.

Redmi note 5 6/64gb doesnt have a global version variant,it was only released with the china rom,which is not bad,cos it wud come installed with google play service,and as well,you can always install the global rom by your self.

Delivery is 7 working days or less,comes with 2 tempered glass freebies,2 cases,1 eu adapter and 1 earpiece wink

I learnt that too, sir.

The other variants (3+32 and 4+64) have a global version.


Please what is the major advantage of global rom version over china rom version?

The data are in two categories, which are:
16GB = 48GB , 3 month (N3000)

42GB = 126GB , 3 month. (N5000)

100GB = 300GB, 3 month (N9000)


Well I know you must be confuse by this are little so I will explain to you guys how the data plan works.

Let says you decided to purchased the 16GB own package. So you will be given 16GB worth of data from the first month. And it will auto renew itself without doing anything for the next two month which means.

It will be adding up the 16GB consequently for the remaining two months making it 16GB × 3= 48GB for 3 months.

Remember if it not necessarily you used up the 16GB for the following because it will add to your existing data you have left.

Let's say you have use 10GB remaining 6Gb the next month it will add automatically making it 22GB.

So that does apply for the 42GB own making it 42G × 3= 126GB consequently for 3 month.

Maximum waiting time to get yours activated is 24 hour thou it might not be up to that if you're patience enough.

If you're interested in our data plan, don't hesitate to contact me.

Do I need a new SIM for this to work?

Apparently customs and nipost are now working together, I bought 2 redmi note 5 and they arrived together. One was immediately sent to my post office while the other was held back for 2 days at the airport. Upon arrival it came with custom slip, I was asked to pay N16470 as custom duty. They said the actual cost of the phone was N92000(how they arrived at this i don't know). Well I have left the phone for them, they should return it. I made some enquiries and I was made to understand that customs have started checking the small packets too, they were only checking parcels before, that a secular was sent out 2 months ago.

Your seller is the cause he declared it as cellphone

Please what is the major advantage of global rom version over china rom version?
China ROM
1. China specific applications installed
2. Quick updates and release
3. Stable and official ROM for all Redmi device
4. Lacking Google tools

Global ROM
1. Pre-installed Google tools
2. No China related applications installed e.g typical example, change region to India, immediately some apps will appear. From this, you will know what I mean
3. All languages available
4. Stable and international ROM for Xiaomi. Updates only come to Global ROM after China ROM has been updated

Based on my research. Asides these two, we have additional two.

Modified : I used note 4x, before its global rom became the norm, note 4x with global rom, note 4 (global version), note 5(global version) and presently using note 5 Chinese version running the Chinese rom and waiting for Max 3 wink
Hands-on now, the differences are relative, not absolute as usually painted but cumulatively, both are same but what do i know? undecided no be to sell what buyers want and collect my money?? cheesy

More research
https://www.doncaprio.com/xiaomi-global-rom-vs-china-rom-why-im-using-the-china-rom/

Cons of China ROM
1. No bloatware on the global ROM. Any app you can't use is a bloatware. Most comes with annoying notification badges that pops up now and then. Some can't be uninstalled, some when uninstalled can cause the ROM to be unstable or reduces performance of the phone.

2. The translation isn't always complete on the China ROM, even when you choose English language as default, some part of the UI might still display in Chinese.

3. Google apps are not pre-installed on the ROM, no Gmail, Google Voice assistant, Google maps, etc. But then, you can still install them.

4. You can't be sure you are not being watched with China ROM. Asked the Americans.

Also take note, China ROM + Chinese IP address = free music streaming. How true is this? grin cool
