MY USER EXPERIENCE/OPINION ON THE REDMI NOTE 5
.
After using redmi note 5 for a few days.. Here are my thoughts!
It's a pretty phone (i got the rose gold). The battery backup is amazing. I am a heavy user, yet it takes me through the entire day (on 3g network), and i would still have 25-30% battery left by the time i get home.
.
.
The camera is good also.I love the fact that the front camera has a flash to take great photos at night.
It has some amazing features which makes for an overall user experience enjoyable.
.
.
Now, to what i want everyone to be aware of (because people just come here, say "I am now a proud owner of xiaomi..." and boom! Off they go, without dropping any review to help prospective buyers decide if its what they want.
.
.
Before anyone comes for me, asking if am expecting flagship features on a $130 device, take a few moments to ponder on all i will point out here.
.
.
1.There are a lot of ads in the phone's system apps.. Themes, wallpaper, fole manager, music app, video app, security etc.It's like MTN, it's everywhere you go on the phone. I had to read up a thread on the miui forum on how to turn off ads.
.
.
Now that's really low from xiaomi! I have used devices, from the high end flagships to feature phones, never have i encountered ads in the stock music player or other system apps.Like the phone has already been paid for, so why the ads? Even apps with pro versions gives the user an ad free experience after paying.
.
.
One day xiaomi may roll out an update and you find the option to turn off ads missing, then what next? The user gets stuck with a phone that has ads everywhere.
.
.
2.The audio output when using earphones is beyond poor on my device. This isn't an issue of "change your headphone. I am an audiophile so I don't slack on buying good earphones. As soon as music is turned on, through the speakers or headphones..
.
.

I can observe that there is no clarity. The voice of the singers come off as croaky and muffled,with a lot of noise. I tried my senheisser mx 365 earphone, a langsdom headphone, a sony headphone and lastly zealot sparkle.. It was the same. I went on miui forum, a lot of people were having the same issue even as far back as march.
.
.
The mi audio enhancer/equalizer is of no use. It seems to normalize a bit after you have listened to music with it for a while. Still you can't get that crispy clearness. I recently got a tecno torchlight phone that uses memory card for N3800.
.
.
I transfered some songs there and the audio output was clearer and way better than the xiaomi redmi note 5.That's a big let down because i listen to music daily. I have sent a feedback to xiaomi, and included audio logs report. I doubt if they will ever address that issue.

.
.
I am hoping it's something an update can fix, I am on Miui 10 right now, but i am not even ready to update the device for fear of the unknown.
.
3.The updates rolled out have bugs. Even the "stable versions" are not so stable. You update to a new version.
.
.
You discover your camera functions differently, pictures are unclear, some functions have disappeared, volume is low or your battery drains fast. With the issues relating to updates i read about, i am not even sure i want to update my device to avoid saying "had i known"!
.
.
4.It doesn't display glo network messages fully. When i dial
*127*0# to check data, on gionee m6 and samsung S8,the pop up message from Glo about my data balance is displayed fully. I never experience any issue with that using those phones. On the Redmi note 5 , the message is slashed and just one third of it is displayed with the heading "class zero message".. I run two to three data plans concurrently, glo night plan, weekend plan and normal monthly..
.
.
I don't get to see my balance for about two of them , just the active one shows whoke d remaining is slashed out. I placed my sim on other phones and i got tbe full message, so i know it's a xiaomi issue.
.
5.The stock music player doesn't play .wma files, and the stock video player doesn't play. mkv files
.
.
These have been my observations so far.. Ita pretty phone, battery lasts long and the pictures are pretty decent for the price. The audio clarity issue is a big turn off. I won't be using this phone for long because of that.

Why would Xiaomi add flash charge technology to a device and then put a charger that doesn't charge fast.

It's like offering someone a fork to drink Sweet garri with cashew nuts.

ProFuhrer:
When Infinix has been adding fast chargers for medium phones.

eightsin:


Does gcam work on MTK?

nwaobitex:
e weak me o
I actually thought the stock charger was a fast charger
The post just enlightened me

scotweezy:

This isn't entirely correct. Their flash chargers are rated higher than 5V-2A.
That picture below is from a link on Nairaland here:

First of, it's wrong to generalize. Reference to "all you tweak gospel spreaders". Asides today, I've never persuaded anyone to tweak on this thread. So, let's put this matter to rest and allow people do what suits them. The ones who choose to follow the tweaking path will always have someone to guide them on here or on xda.

Guys...whatsup?

Please who can assist me with Miuipro for Mido??

Preferrably for November... I appreciate...

@Gptech @GrandMufty...pls assist...

fibonacci2526:



They mean the same technically, it's just brands and their different naming plus different technologies used. Eg you have the dash(warp) charge for OnePlus, VOOC charge for oppo/vivo/realme, Super charge for Huawei etc

GrandMufti:


Fast charger or quick charger?

Gptech:

I tire sef, many ppl never still kw d difference.

GrandMufti:


Fast charger or quick charger?

2kurupt:



When proper OEMs are doing Dash charge & Qualcomm Quick Charge.

He is definitely referring to those chargers that damage people's phone batteries. Probably the reason Tecno and infinix devices are prone to charging port & battery damages.

traecey:
@queenfav I think the audio ish is with miui10.... I use a baseus earpiece and I'm on miui 9.5 and my audio is clear... I wonder why an update rather than make something better would make it worse..... Maybe I should just stay on this 9.5 jeje o

And truly the phone is really a great buy and xiaomi is such a nice product, all the tech guys in my office just keep saying it's Tight.... The camera is nice, face unlock is fast, fingerprint is fast.

Gptech:

That's true, someone here actually confirmed his stock Xiaomi 5v/2A charger fast charges his Infinix phone.

scotweezy:

Well, this is an anomaly. Maybe that particular model doesn't support flash charge and the charger that came with the phone is lowly rated, thereby making the phone charge faster when the Xiaomi 5V/2A charger was used.
Everything I stated above might be wrong though. The person can help clear our doubts.

Gptech:

So many of una na audiophile, where Princetom1 .

saint2ace:



This is so on point, I think Nigerians should start researching what works for their phones instead of feeling every fast charger will work for them. Most Infinix stock chargers only work with MTK pump express, while some QC chargers seem slow on MTK phones.

Getting a charger that can do all on a budget might not really be practical as u'll be spending a bundle if you want an all encompassing charger.

So the secret to a good charge procedure is to get what works for you under it preferred budget. Don't look for a charger that does everything but look for what works for you.

But if you have the extra cash then have fun and get an all in one charger. Even though I feel it might be obsolete when a new technology surfaces. My 2 Kobo...,

traecey:
yes o, audio is life bro.... I do almost everything with music, if not that I have to listen to people ehn, music all day long o.

Me I care about camera, audio and battery.

Gptech:
Make I find trouble small, @queenfav, na one of d reasons some persons like to root their phones b dat. I always use my Redmi note 4x dey oppress, anywhere I go, last one na to intimidate a Galaxy note 5 user. When the guy hear sound with Dolby Atmos (ZTE AXON), in collabo with my uiisii earpiece, e nr like im phone again . Some persons nr care about camera, but sound. Abeg make anybody nr quote me on how to do any of these here ooo, those na for d other thread.


Meanwhile, great review there, blike u go soon get ur own channel too .

Please help

IKON360:
queenfav, downgrade and see. Like an older rom

There are actually Chargers on Aliexpress that support multiple fast charging technology on the cheap if you know where to look
