maclawrence02: Good evening everyone. Pls I'm new here, I've been reading the comments here on this thread, so far I've been really impressed by when level of phones and specs that xaiomi is offering, that was why I waisted no time when I saw a fairly used mi note 4 lte (that's the model I saw) at a reasonable price (30k) but so far I have a feeling that the phone I bought is a fake or clone cos everything seems different from the reviews I've been reading about expecially performance wise, the specs says 3gig ram and 64gig internal memory but the phone lags a lot when I'm playing games or browsing photos on Facebook. I have a 32gig backup from the memory card of my previous phone that was stolen (infinite note 3) when I tried to transfer the files to the mi note by it got to 4gig surprisingly the phone started showing not enough memory. The camera quality is very poor and the video records 3gp format. I just want to be sure if I got the wrong phone or if there is something I'm not doing right. Pls I'm waiting.
Please share the about section of the phone. Mi note 4? Cos there is no Xiaomi phone known as mi note 4.

Small packet is untrackable to nigeria, you will get a call from the PO once it lands.
ajog1: I have read several reviews done by other pro-reviewers outside this space and compared to those guys who are paid well to create a good buzz; the earlier referred review by that chairman could make for one of the most succinct and real reviews out there except for the overly similar names xioami keeps giving her phones-imagine if he takes the game to the next level. Mind you-I no dey make any localized comparison oh
Thanks for the compliment, am just a lady who loves techs and cars. Simple.
NoDulling4here: Honestly the redmi note 5 pro (aka redmi note 5 in china) has crossed the line of budget phone) That is a flagship by Nigerian standards
noobody: Loool,i expected such pettiness,not at all surprised or shocked, Since mr ITK,jack of all trades,master of none,the ignorant fool, didnt do the reivew first, He wud be filled with notin but hatred and disdain,

Gptech: Your love for black sha, no wonder dem go still dey confuse ur gender . U don put 6D screen guard on dat one too abi? Considering your Nova launcher ish, even wen u customise notification panel from miui theme app, na still white e dey give out?
ajog1: Ain't you making the other pro reviewers reel in fear of how you could likely get them off their game? Ehm! Nice one chairman. BTW, is it a unit of the redmi note 5/pro or redmi 5 plus you have got on hand?
So I have used the Redmi 5 as my daily driver for the past 48hrs and all have got good vibes with it. You wouldn't know it's a 720p resolution as colours reproduction and viewing angles aren't that bad tbh. The phone is much more compact ,narrower than my oneplus 5 and I could use it conveniently with one hand which was a surprise given how small my hands are. lolll.
Battery life is surprisingly good for a 3300mah capacity and I got a 7hr SOT on a my first full battery cycle even when I left Lagos and move to another state with terrible network,it still did fairly well. I used it for social medias, browsing, office mails, streamed videos. The idle time is also good as I lost only 2% battery overnight.
Camera quality isn't bad too, really took some nice pictures but for the sake of privacy wouldn't be able to upload any on here.The details are sharp and all when you zoom in.
Sd450 is really good, coming from a device with sd835 I was pleasantly surprised at how much it fared. Though occasionally it lags when using Twitter but it really did well with its snappiness being a "entrylevel-budget" chipset.
CONS;
I found out that the device doesn't play well with Nova launcher as the navigation bar was still white after using it as my default launcher so I was forced to remain with the system launcher.
No quick reply for the Redmi 5 yet but hopefully we get the 9.5x update soon.
If you are on a budget and you like compact devices, would advise you to go for this device. I really like what xiaomi did with this one and for it's price,it's a winner in my book.
Shabib: You've done that on many occasions, bro. Many
If anyone's jumping to conclusions, that'll be you. The thing I don't really understand is why people will come down here to listen to someone who never upgraded before when they can just check the reviews from the MIUI forum.
Answering every questions is not yours to do. You're also a newbie with Xiaomi.
