[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] Totone56:
Just so people know, although i don't have this device anymore, just a warning :

The first three months, i had absolutely amazing battery life, around 12h SOT with 48h standby.

The following months, the battery started to die. By this i mean i couldn't get more than 6/7h SOT, and standby drain was around 1.5/2% per hour, whichever ROM and kernel i was using.

I tried everything, Stock, Custom ROMS, even re-locking it and flashing the ROM it came with, so it's a direct comparaison with the day i bought the phone.

The battery life i was getting wasn't bad, but still, way worse than only a few months before, without any reason.

To sum it up : The battery lost around 50% capacity in 6 months, without abuse or heavy usage (I'm a really light user, and it never went below 20% charge). Few people with Global Redmi Note 5's told me they experienced the same.

Just remember why these phones are so cheap.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] Geekn0ob:
Same thing happened with me tbh. I've been this phone for more then 6 months now average SOT is 6 hours.. I am also a light user..very disappointed..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] Totone56:
A friend who works is this domain (physics, properties of materials, ect) warned me about this. When i bought the phone he told me they probably cheap out on battery quality to bring the price down, and he predicted this exact behaviour :silly: At least, the first few months, the battery is awesome.

Wierd thing : I get 48H standby with around 8h SOT with my current phone (And way better idle drain when not used, 0.25% per hour with everything on) in spite of it having a Snapdragon 845 and a 3300 mah battery. So better than a 2 month old Redmi 5 Plus, with way more powerful hardware and a smaller battery.

Seems like capacity isn't the whole story :D

12 hours is the maximum i got in AOSP EXTENDED with zucc kernel

After one year, i still get 10-11 hrs screen on time, you have to take care for li-po batteries, otherwise your battery going to die too much early.

1) Dont use device while charging

2) Take off from the charger after battery reaches to %100, dont leave it whole nightat the charger.

3) Do not let the battery level fall below 10%
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] die or die:

[Mogul, XV6800 General] fastrat350:
Okay I have Mygig radio system in my Jeep Wrangler and just got the VR and Uconnect(bluetooth) enabled, with the mic installed. So I decide to pair up my phone with radio, it pairs fine and everything is recognized, but once paired and try to make or receive a call there is no audio what so ever nor can the callers hear me, its silent on both ends, and I have figured out its not radio, as once I unpair and turn bluetooth, the phone stays MUTE and DEAF, cannot hear ringers, cannot hear opening keyboard sounds, cant hear ring when making calls, cant hear anyone on other end nor can they hear me, as if it goes completly on earpiece and mic on phone. What am I doing wrong, what settings should I have on my bluetooth when to pair?? My phone is running a factory rom, the latest official rom from htc through sprint. Not running any leak version with revA and GPS, just factory. Only mods I have wmwifi router, home customizer, touchflo, htc cube and htc action screen................ Help me please, what settings should be when paired?

Too big and slippery. The back of the phone is good looking but keep falling from my hands. The jelly cover helps keeping it in one piece.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] stole38:
Totally agree with [MENTION=8965893]Pazito[/MENTION] 's statement. The metal feels really fine and cold in the hand but it is SO slippery there is nothing to grip the phone with. So this is the first phone i actually bought cases for (and i hate myself for it). I'm gonna try those pop sockets too , have a feeling they will help.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] britechguy:
Cell strength and 4G LTE throughput are both excellent. The phone is running on the latest version of MIUI (as of a few weeks ago, which I believe is Android 7.0 based. I have heard that another update to MIUI to an Android 8.0 based system [Oreo] is coming soon).

I'm sorry, I know I'm supposed to be rating, but I have a problem, and I need help.

Phone fell in water, and it cellular network reception keeps disappearing every 5 seconds or so. Here in Nigeria, I'm unable to fix it because no hardware spare parts available. What do I do please?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] britechguy:
Your only option is to put the phone somewhere as warm as possible, even hot (not direct heat, I mean like the inside of a car, and not in the sun), for a couple of days to let it dry out THOROUGHLY, including, one hopes, internally. If it doesn't work correctly then your only choice will be a new device. They often will work fine, though, if everything is forced back to bone dry from an extended period in high temperature that can penetrate through to the middle of the device and get water evaporating from there.

Do NOT charge it, either, until this is done.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] protunez123:
Which means I'm a day late and a dollar short. Because I'm already using the phone, but with Wi-Fi. Problem happened about a month ago, I dried it in every way possible before powering it again. Still, cellular network fluctuates. Guess the phone is now toast...? ? ? ?

5/5 so far, phone is amazing for this price.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Real Life Review] onisad:
Based on value, I think it's a solid 4/5, even when factoring in the slightly higher European cost through official retail channels.

This phone really makes you wonder why spend more than 200€, unless you're a heavy gamer or need the latest and greatest Android updates, or the best benchmark scores.

Would be perfect as an Android One device, hence the dropped star, but as it is I can highly recommend the phone to anyone despite MIUI.

I need to go to dveloper option and change and set window animation, transition, animator duration into 0.5x to get the "speed" fast enough for day to day operations.

Can you share screenshots of battery temperature while charging when battery is ~70% and ~95%.

Because my RN5P reaches to 43-44 degrees while charging at ~60-70% and 38-39 degrees when ~95%, then cools down to 34-35 degrees while not charging.
