Try using TECNO Camon X pro and see the awesomeness of a TECNO device. The camera is lit and battery and ram is out of this world

I've no doubt that it'll take u a short while to get uncomfortable with d 5plus. sd 835 to 625 is very significant.

Sell it and buy OnePlus 6 or Xiaomi mi8





Good day

Bro.... What's your price for the Redmi Note 5A 2gb Ram

Just like a friend that wanted to spend 70k plus to purchase Infinix Note 4 pro when he can get meizu m6 note for 50k

I know some people are just too addicted to Tecno , Infinix, item. I have BN there before, but u will never know what u are missing till u get other better value for money brands.

Currently using Redmi 5 plus (my second Xiaomi phone), and I know the difference between Tecno and this phone

Obviously better. but I have an issue with the redmi not having the much needed fast charging feat. Aside being in the office with guaranteed power supply and at home by night I barely get good power supply elsewhere so that means if I have a 2% on Saturday morning outdoors on my redmi it's kaboom till night fall. I'll rather stick with the one plus, my opinion though.

You can always get a good powerbank you know? Xiaomi's 20000mAh powerbank is nice.

I may not have a professional knowledge when it comes to analyzing cell phones. But I believe this whole thread is just full of lies. Some are comparing Samsung and Apple to these Chinese brands, saying their phones are actually better.

Are you trying to tell me that if I bring out a s9 on one hand and the most high-end phone of any of these Chinese brands on the other, they are really objectively no differences with the latter even better? Just look at the link below, listing the specs of the redmi 5 plus and the 2015 s6 edge. Didn't s6 edge beat the redmi 5 plus in all aspects except that of battery life? (Don't know about camera capability tho).

He is very legit, he doesn't have a shop because he doesn't sell phones(brick and mortar). You pay him and he will use your money to order for you. You can as well search his monikers and see testimonies.

Actually it has fast charging, though fast charger is not included. The provided charger is 2 amp charger that takes about 2 hrs 20 mins to charge the 4,000mah battery, but when u use a Qualcomm quick charger it will charge in about 1hr 30mins. I bought the redmi note 5 two days ago and i can confirm that using my Samsung quick charger it charges faster, in fact u will notice from the charging symbol that changes from the normal thunder like symbol to a circular quick charge symbol. Though not as fast as my LG v20 in charging but still fast enough.

Lol, guy is tested and trusted. I called him up on Friday for redmi note 5, told me he doesn't do payment on delivery. I was too busy to do and pick the phone up, sent him money and got phone same day. My first time dealing with him though. And he has been kind too to put me through some problems I had with MIUI like inability to get my Google contacts to sync.

Bros, when it comes to mid rangers or budget phones xiaomi do a good job. But comparing redmi note 5 to Samsung flagship is sacriliage. Yes it beats Samsung flagship in one thing and one thing only which is battery life. Xiaomi know how to optimize Battey, I give that to them. MIUI has a way of killing background apps so they don't run at all for battery optimization, but there's a trade for that. Phone won't be too quick to open apps that have not been opened for a few hours.

I got a redmi note 5 on Friday and I'm impressed, but will I trade it for my LG v20 which is a 2016 flagship? NEVER.. Redmi note 5 is just 2 days old and I already witnessed some hiccups when running many apps and the press the home button, apps take like 1 second to populate on the home screen. I have never ever witnessed this on LG v20 that is almost 1 yr old. Not saying that phone lags, it doesn't lag and I love the build quality, but no way near the best of Samsung phones. Of course it's a mid-range phone, though a very good one. Better than infinix hot s6 and camon x pro. And my LG v20 camera still beats redmi note 5 camera so Galaxy s6 camera would also be better.

Impressive, very impressive, but those comparing it with flagship phones are CRAZY. No way near flagship. MIUI 9.5 still has some bugs. For example today the phone refused to ring out even though it wasn't in silent mode. Ring volume was set to maximum, still didn't ring out when someone calls, notification sounds was working fine. . Not until I restarted it before it came back to normal. And why in the hell will xiaomi unify ring volume and notification volume? I like my notification sounds low and ring volume higher but that is impossible on this phone. Same toggle controls both notification and ringer, so if ur ringer is loud, ur notifications will also be loud and vice versa.

you haven't seen meizu 15 plus, smartisan R1, Huawei p20 Pro and mi 8 EE yet so I think you might wanna take that back... Camon X pro is cool I think that the only tecno phone I actually glance at twice. But a phone without type c and a SD 845 right now is a waste.

If I tell u say that v20 is the first Android phone I've used that gives me piece of mind with ZERO lag factor. I know I might be too critical but I hate it when a phone lags or even stutters a bit. I've used LG g3, lagged, Galaxy s6, lagged with very poor battery. Galaxy S7 edge lagged, ok nfinix hot s, lagged and poor performance. But this v20 takes everything thrown at it like a boss, plus I love that second screen and HiFi quad dac. Also the wide angle second camera is dope.
