Nobody is talking about the redmi 5 on this thread...i'm planning to get it but i've not seen any review here..can someone pls advice me

It is a good device, battery life is excellent. Camera is average, make sure you get the 3/32gb variant .

Price is crazy, could as well get a glo mifi and still save some cash.

When you flood the market with so many phones, you are bound to be conflicted and confused with pricing. The 4/64gb of the redmi 6 pro is same price as the 4/64gb of the redmi note 5. Smh.

Please how genuine is this fellow?

Has anyone patronized him here before? Any testimonials?

Yup, severally. He is legit.

Elslim:

Nah it's not because it's a xiaomi thread, he should use gsm arena comparison tool. The redmi note 5 wins.

If there is any naija tech YouTuber I respect , it is definitely fisayo. His contents are dope and guy knows his onions.

Androidone is a good move by Infinix. Well done.

Elslim:
loool.... resellers price nah. normal Ali stunts. give am just 30days+ d real price go manifest

At the end of the day when all the prices stabilise, the difference between the redmi 5 plus, redmi note 5 and redmi 6 pro can't be more than $10-$30. Crazy.

Elslim:

These resellers are confused.

This one weak me ooo.

ddjay:
oga,r u saying that u bought from amazon and shipped through jumia..

How can I buy from Amazon and ship through Jumia?

I said I employed the services of a shipper. Hian.

MasterZee:
Please, which of these Xiaomi is best for a budget of 45-65k?

Redmi 5 plus, redmi s2 or add little money and get the redmi note 5. It's the best within that budget.

fados4sure:
Of course you know better that phones with Chinese ROM don't have Google Play Store & can't accept it except you flash the ROM

Your assertions that all phones shipped from abroad don't have playstore is wrong.

fados4sure:
You can't install play store

Untrue.

Lexusgs430:
Because 4050mah don spoil them + the fear of DISCO playing NEPA, is too real.....

4000mah on a chopset like sd625 ? BIG yes. 4000mah on MTK6580? NO.

Gptech:
From reviews it's obvious the Redmi 5 plus only beats the Redmi s2 in two areas-bigger battery and FHD screen. The Redmi s2 seems to be a better value for money, way better cameras, far better sound output, and the 3000mah battery is looking to be on par with the 4000mah battery of the Redmi note 3 pro.

And a dedicated sd slot. Idk why people think 3000mah in a sd625 device will be poor.

Slot and 3chub have to pay import tax, workers, facility etc while the shipped from abroad products are in the warehouse of the OEM/seller thereby boycotting import tax and the likes.

Nokia 7 plus sells for around 135k in slot but I got it for #102k on Amazon via buying and shipping through a seller (would have paid like $120 more on import tax and shipping). Price difference is really crazy.

That's really crazy money but lei Jun has paid his dues. Well deserved.

eleojo23:
Yeah...but they could have just included it on the global version...

It's not as easy as you think, it requires money and lot of them for licensing fee, specified antenna and generally the markets these phones are targeted. No point throwing more cash in these areas where the band is little of no use to the targeted markets.

4llerbuntu:
Well.....

On the pack it says 'Global version'

But it actually shows up as Note 5 Pro online.

The model number is also the AI version when I googled it.


Interestingly, it's on Android 8.1 out of the box too.

Loving the device though. So slick.

If you are looking to cop one I suggest you quickly get one from macbeyland and bypass the 4 weeks waiting thingy for real. This device is too sweet for long thing.


Next stop is the mi 8 explorer. If you know, you know

Yeah you got the one with more bands, ntek should work on it. Try dustmalik's method.

Watch out for sweet deals on Xiaomi powerbank 2c 20000mah

Hamush?

You be boss na.

rationalist007:
For Those that have patronised dem do nairaland reseller deliver to your location or to the post office

It depends on the arrangement you have with them, post office or it can be waybilled to you after the item lands.

4llerbuntu:
Ugh. Just my luck. LTE bands..<<<<<<<<<

But what you bought is the redmi note 5.

drmuchin:
Are you residing within Eastern Region? I am not fully convinced!

Gptech, who send you message?


Oga you mentioned him and he answered you based on his experience with the seller, why not buy the item in your local shop then as you are not convinced?

Stormyweather:
so your note 5a prime is worth 60k abi? It's even used sef.
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom

I wanted to quote him until I saw your response, he should be looking to add at least 30k. lolll.

4llerbuntu:
���. Maka why not

You wicked ooo.

eleojo23:
And they included Glo's band 28 on that one!

These Xiaomi guys sef..

Seems that's the most popular band in Taiwan, no point launching a phone that doesn't support that band.

GrandMufti:
I'm also interested o. Those ali guys dey dull

Amazon go soon get only be say the price go dey scary. There is a seller on amazon that ships from taiwan, so I guess it is a matter of time.
