Auto-correct decided it knew best

lollllllll, who send am? Manually corrected.

Gptech:
Chai!

lollllll, make them add thread derailers.

kekilika:
The Xiaomi thread is a colony in Nairaland. A world on its own. In fact, Nairaland should be renamed Xiaomiland (Osewa would be like ). In this thread, I have observed keenly these 20 types of people.
1.The observers ... Seeing thing but say nothing. Just to read comments is their concern.

2. The Cabal Techs ... The last time someone said cabal, there was fury here. They breath out solutions here.

3. The how much crew ...Always asking how much you bought your device. They have been on this trend for the past 3 months. Uncle, please buy phone.

4. The Testifiers ...Oh... welcome me to the Xiaomi family... Bla bla bla... He is legit

5. The Sellers ... Always quoting and dropping digits. We must sell ooo

6. GSMARENA Believers ... According to the gospel of Redmi note 5 pro... It not the same as Redmi Note 5

7. The CR7 in Aston villa team Crew ... I have a budget of N25000, I need a a Redmi of 5.5 inches screen, 4000mAh battery, 21MP camera, Android 8.1 ...Uncle, na Mi band 3 you dey look for.

8. The ROMers ... Always bragging and excited about how they are porting from Custom OS.

9. The fonters and themers ... Please which font is this? Which theme is that you are using? Just don't screenshot anything for them to see

10. The Confused ... Rooting here, custom recovery here, unlock bootloader... So I can't use Xiaomi unless I do these things?

This is so good. especially the how much crew, cr7 in aston Villa team and gsm arena believers.lollll. Waiting for number 11-20.

Hey guys what is happening to this thread, seems like we ve all abandoned it. @ laudate poshest mickey01 the current new series Iron Lady and Begusarai re quite interesting especially Begusarai. Rooting for Priyom Thakur to be the ruler of Begusarai

Yes but bindiya surely has enough tricks up her sleeve.

Bellalight:
Please please help my ignorance...must you root Redmi 5 plus before you enjoy it? and does it have any major I should know, before buying it? is there another one that beats it and its within price range? Thanks for your answers.

No root isn't compulsory especially if you don't know your way around it. You can enjoy your device as it is.

Maybe you can add a little cash and get the redmi note 5 (3/32gb) better than the redmi 5 plus in performance and also camera.

Gptech:
Let me say it blunt, you are not teachable, you seem to know it all. If you read back your posts, you'll see you already made your choice. YOUR ABOVE COMMENT SAYS IT ALL.

Ohhhhhhu, you get time oooo. You for just leave am na. Shuuuu.

Emmako007:
I want to order on aliexpress, should I change my currency from NGN naira to US dollars? Which one is cheaper?

It doesn't matter if you change the currency to € or $, the amount deducted would be based on the exchange rate of your bank.

IAMJojo:
Hello houx,redmi 5 i saw two different ba3 type,3300Mah n 4000Mah,is dis true?

Redmi 5--3300mah
Redmi 5 plus-4000mah

LEGITLAYO:
I've seen it, and given all permissions I'm supposed to.

If possible set that battery saver to no restriction and then reboot.

amadika:
I'll advice you cancel that order and go for Redmi Note 5 AI.. I'm using both devices. U have more to gain on Note 5 AI

lollllll, the guy go bring gsmarena point to prove you are wrong.

LEGITLAYO:
I did ma'am.
I dunno what the problem is.
I just know my contacts are nowhere to be found and I can't sync em.
The contact sync option is noticeably absent.

It is a separate app on its own,look for it under your apps setting.

LEGITLAYO:
Hello, good morning everyone...
I have a little problem on my device that just arrived.
I can't seem to restore my contacts from Google to the phone, under the sync option In settings, under Google, the sync contacts option isn't there..
I need a way out of this predicament.
Thanks.
Ps: it's China version tho.

Did you download the Google installer from the mi store?If no, do and Grant the contact sync app all the necessary permissions.

I nr fit talk jare, gsmarena trashy endurance rating . Imagine saying the Mi 5 out outperforms Redmi 5. People don't understand that a buggy rom will likely give you a poor result. Many times Gsmarena run reviews on Shop roms too. Again the average Nigerian tend to believe foreigners more in virtually everything, won't blame us though, many times we have betrayed ourselves even for free. If you check Gsmarena's review of the Redmi note 4SD, they said it takes over 4 hours to completely charge the device. I remembered telling someone here that it's not true, because mine took 2.5 hours approximately, but you know who people chose to believe.

Dem sef talk am say they can't guarantee their info is 100%. Na him money jare. We go dey here dey wait for review.

adanny01:
Its also tragic that i asked for this kind of advice before i made the order but yours came only after i ordered.

I made the same observation, however, my research on gsm arena shows that Mi5 has a 92h rating while redmi 5 with SD 450 + 3300mah is behind at 83h battery life on their endurance test.

In fact, i was worried that it may not support OTG, i watched it on youtube supporting OTG. I doubted most of its features for being a 2016 phone, but a comment i read somewhere said "its an old phone but very decent in comparison to what is obtainable today." I did my research on the phone for almost a month and came here for conclusion on the day i planned to order. Xiaomi has promised Android 8.0 for it. The beta is already out.

Please make your research and compare it to the Note 5 suggested here and tell me which wins.

Your money, your choice but sometimes you need to be flexible enough to listen to what other people have to say to make an informed decision. Your basing all your facts on gsmarena shows that you see them as the Lord concerning anything Android. Good luck.

GrandMufti:
That's why he posted it....

kayceelingz:

DavisBloom:
How do pple wait for parcels?

Alixpress?

BeardedTraveler:
Reports have it that there might still be a pro version. It was spotted on Qualcomm's site

Literally no mention/report of that on qualcomm's website for verification and this post below sums it all.

Nastydroid:
Container don land via ifedith


Those concerned about the camera it is not really dope like Samsung own but they tried 8/10

"How much did you get it crew" incoming.

oxygenlove:
its nt our fault... I was once a victim... Xiaomi should learn to keep to one name too....redmi 5 plus(note 5 india) ..note 5AI. note 5 pro ...... Wetin happen....

The iterations will become very familiar once you start using their device and again people should at least take stuff from what people tell them here re the names.

zevous:
Thanks for the quick reply.. Coz I don’t wanna make a mistake. I’m scared because of the video posted here concerning the pro version.. I would rather go for the AI version straight.

There is no pro version in Nigeria!!!!!

zevous:
Please I’m confused.. I’m trying to order note 5 on Jumia but I noticed that tha Black is showing android 7.1.0 while the white is showing 8.0.. please is there a link to get the Black note 5 AI version with android 8.0.. 4gb 64Gb?

The black is also Oreo, should be an error.

Redmi note 5 in a new 6/128gb variant. Dope.

adamix:
Sorry, we are not indians

As him say mark your calendar for a phone that has been launched globally yesterday.lollll.

yak:
Mark your calendar! #MiA2 - 12MP + 20MP dual camera @Android One smartphone is coming to India on 8th August.

You funny sha, phone wey Dem don launch yesterday for Spain.

GrandMufti:
I sure say na the comments there dem dey read pass

And na Indians dey comment pass, na all phones nor good.

GrandMufti:

People take whatever they read on gsmarena as the gospel, even gsmarena has a disclaimer that they can't guarantee all their information is 100% correct.

Gptech:
Not again! Your info is for Indians, Redmi note 5 here is what is called Redmi note 5 AI, it's different from Redmi note 5 ( India)/ Redmi 5 plus which you posted. Check very well, Redmi note 5 we refer to here has dual rear cameras and Snapdragon 636 under the hood.

This issue has been overfloged here.

Oh God, I nor even see your response before I commented. The thing don tire me. You just spoke my mind.

nabeans:
Hmm, so what's happening to that our most recent flymeOS? You know the one that OCD been dey delay you to use...

Time to change again, lollll.

adanny01:
18.9 is the display aspect ratio while what i wrote is the diagonal in inches. I didnt write the inches cos i expect most people of this thread to know. Redmi Note 5 is same phone as Redmi 5 Plus. It is the succeeding model of Note 4 but dumping the the note part of the phone.

Oh God not again, redmi note 5 is not the same phone as redmi 5 plus in this part of the world. We have trashed this over and over again on this thread, I don weak.

If some people nor take advantage of this Jumia slashed prices on the redmi note 5 and redmi 5 plus though, won't get a better deal on these two devices in the nearest future.
