That's tragic.

SD820 + 3000mAh running apps optimized for 2018 processors cry

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.

I get what you mean, i used it, it was very good but had the same problem i had with most custom roms now, its like they've added something to source...There is a delay in going back to apps already opened(in memory) after a bit of time.....only bootleggers, du, los, mdroid, posp and firehound dont have this problem.

Talking about stock?

This isn't about learning new stuff though, it's about u being charged by custom.

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by lharstborn(m): 7:44am On Jul 26, 2018
Gurus in the house, Good Morning all. I am looking at ordering a Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus from Gearbest, I just need to know these information please:

1. I want to pay with my atm card, and I noticed I can pay in dollars though there was also an option of paying in Naira. I would prefer paying in dollars because converting the amount charged to Naira is much higher than when I pay in dollars.
2. The shipping options presented to me for getting the phone is SIGNPOST (REGISTERED AIRMAIL), are their services okay and do the deliver as expected?
3. The other items I want order will be shipped via NETHERLANDS REGISTERED (REGISTERED AIRMAIL), also do they deliver items as expected without issues?
4. Lastly, will the items be delivered to my doorstep (the address I provided) and do I need to pay customs and the likes?

Thanks in advance for all pointers and advice.

Why buy there when there are sellers here who offer equal or even cheaper price for the same phone.

Check my price list and consider the Freebies, which your payment there won't get for you.

I nr fit talk jare, gsmarena trashy endurance rating grin. 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.

4hrs to charge Note 4? shocked
Certainly not my own note 4 sha.

Mine takes around that 2hrs+ from 0 to 100.
In fact the charging usually speeds up from around 70% to 100%.
