[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] jojolafrite:
the purpose of this thread is to share our feedback, your invitation to buy another phone because you don't like the feedback is pointless and ridiculous

the hardware of this phone is fantastic, great screen, neverending battery, good shape

the MIUI rom is an absolut shame. Everything is locked, you can't remove the useless xiaomi apps, you can't access full developer mod, for instance no root option or no detailed menu for reboot options, this is an absolute nightmare to create a MIUI account, and obviously, the bootloader is locked

In order to unlock the bootloader, you have to create an account on a chinese website, not translated in english. Xiaomi sells phones all over the world, and the account can't be in any other language than chinese. So i'm copy/pasting chinese in google translate to understand. Fantastic feeling as a consumer

update: while unlocking the bootloader is a total struggle, i ended up with Mi Unlock tool saying "couldn't unlock, you have to wait for 360hrs". I have to wait for 14 days for no particular reason. Obviously the reason is that Xiaomi doesn't want you to erase their interface and all the Xiaomi apps that are showing up ads everytime you open them.

Conclusion: you like iOs? Buy this phone. You like Android ? don't buy it. If you're navigating on XDA, then you should like customization, then you will hate this phone. Buy it for your grandma, she'll love it

Coming from Oneplus 3T, Nexus 5,Oneplus One. Of course this phone is much less in term of community development strength.

Nonetheless, as a non-developer. I really don't have any right to request anything as all community development are voluntary.

MIUI is not the UI I like. Stock aosp is the best. But currently, there are no Oreo roms being developed as we can see is not in the case of older devices. So, Oreo roms are the only missing thing stopping me from unlocking my device. Want to be up to date along with stock google UI.

For Indonesian users, go find another phone...

I'm very disappointed with this phone, there is no way to unlock the bootloader even with testpoint.

Very very poor ram management

TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE IDEA OF BUYING THIS 3GB and 4GB MOBILE VARIANTS

I bought 3gb variant, and the multitasking - ram management simply sucks. Yes because the first 2 to 3 apps in the recent apps list were also refreshing while swapping between. This is worse. Its been 2 weeks and I am thinking to sell this. Bought 3gb for the time being until oneplus 6 release. But because this is much worse that I could not even bear this weak ram management till oneplus 6 release
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] b886b:
Before selling the device, try the following setting, 1st tap on the build several times to reveal the developer option, then head to the developer option scroll all the way down and turn off memory optimization and miui optimization. That way u should have better multitasking capability
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] SubwayChamp:
I paid a little more for a 4GB version and really ability to keep many apps in background is good.

How is indicated above MIUI optimization is a task killer to allows user to use faster some less critical apps (with minor RAM usage) and kills apps in the order from which consumption is higher.

But finally RAM optimization depends mostly in how the firmware implements this feature, some kernel correctly tweaked can help on this.

So it´s not a hardware related issue with 3GB it can runs better with some improvements in the software.

I can say the low light photo in RN5 is quite good. But not perfect. At least the noise is minimized and smoothed, you can still see dirtiness on bright wall or complete black area of the photos and blurred edge.

Of course you cant compare it with Gcam HDR+ Enc that took 5 seconds to capture. It's almost like it was not taken using phone.

last week i bought a Redmi 5 Plus 4gb/ 64gb Global then i tried to test charge time and quick charge.. 3-4 times with a qualcomm QC 3.0 charger and another QC 2.0 charger.. The results are similar: all about 2 hour.. the charge time with Xiaomi's own 2A Charger it take about 2 and half hour. i know its good but not so good.. By the way i notice that when test with QC3.0 charger it can not charge with 12V.. (i used a usb tester to see voltage and Current) i just saw 9.30v as max voltage. its behave look like QC2.0 not QC3.0

Snapdragon 625 should be support QC3.0 isnt it?

Are there anyone test quick charge?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] thorday:
I have a QC 2.0 charger,takes about 2 hour to fully charge my R5 phone... don't have tester to measure voltage,but phone doesn't heats up,its around 28 C when charging.Charger does :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] amedian:
all my qc3.0 tests take 2 hours too. i see my qc 3.0 charger work as qc 2.0 charger. maybe my charger not work as qc 3.0 maybe our phone not support qc 3.0 we will see... i will buy a new qc 3.0 charger and i will test it again then i share the results here too.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Real Life Review] amedian:
welll my new charger delivered me from china, so i tested it a few times. its better than my qc2.0 charger and my other qc3 car charger ( i think its not qc3.0 its just qc2.0 ) My new charger is not as good as expected.. charge time is an hour and 45 minutes. .. its mean 15 min better than qc.2.0 ... i saw 10.1v and 1,35 amp on my usb tester, it could be 12v... Anyway we can see that the phone supports qc 3.0 but not at all its need powerfull and good qualty QC3.0 charger, so if you want to buy a QC3 charger i I recommend that you need to research well.

You are not alone. R5 plus and some another xiaomi device, sometimes we see this problem. And there is no software solution. Wipe, mi flash, battery calibrationi root... I tried everything but no luck.

Only solution is;

Remove the back cover (i did it, its not so difficult.)

Remove the battery connector plug

Wait a few seconds

Plug it back.

Thats done. Problem solved.
