Hi everyone. My name is Rahul. Recently I am using redmi note 5 pro since 10 days. I came to know every aspect of this phone. I will be telling only genuine review about what I experienced with this phone. I will be discussing pros and cons.
P R O S:
This mobile has an excellent build quality. take any mi phone. the looks of this phone will attract everyone. this is all metal body. I also noticed that this phone has 2 curves at he back which will be very useful for holding. I know that this phone comes with corning gorilla glass. but the company didnt mention which version of corning gorilla glass it is.
another pro of this phone is it has 18:9 aspect ratio. if you compare this phone with older xiaomi phones, the older phones has 16:9 aspect ratio. I also noticed this phone has empty space at the bottom. I felt that mi company need to increase this space for display for better viewing experience. it has ips full hd display so you should not worry about the view of this phone in sunlight. dayview of this phone is amazing.
next pro is the variants. it has dual varients. 4gb+64gb and 6gb+64gb. in 4gb model you get around 2.1gb free and in 64gb you get approx 52.9 gb free .it also has otg support. I kept pendrive, and it worked on this phone. I also kept mouse, keyboard to this mobile and it worked pretty good. but when I kept harddisk, theis phone didnt respond. then I installed es file explorer from play store and it recognized.
lets talk about the call quality. I didnt notice any network lagging on this phone. and if you talk about the speaker, even though it has only one speaker, but it will not disapoint you. this speaker is very loud. I watched movies comfortably with this speaker. the speaker is too loud. I am not facing any problem with speaker. this phone also has notification light.
this phone runs on miui9. when I first opened this phone, this phone comes with miui9.2.4.
NEXT PRO IS SNAPDRAGON 636. this phone has excellent gaming experience. I didnt face any lags while playing games. snapdragon 636 in a 14, 00rs phone is amazing. but if you arer game lovers, then you should try motoz2force, oneplus5t which has snapdragon 845. this phone has minor lags but overall gaming is good. lets talk about heating issue. while playing games, this phone has temp of about 39-40c. I didnt notice any overheating issue in this mobile. the next advantage is the battery life. this phone has 4000mah battery. I noticed that this phone easily gives 1 and half day battery life with full charge.
I also noticed that the fingerprint in this phone is amazing. I mean this phone unlocks in a blink of eye. fingerprint is working excellent in this phone. this phone also comes with an ir blaster. this ir blaster is used to control any electronic devices. for ex: tv and ac.
another pro is the camera. this phone has 12mp primary camera with f2.2 aperture. this is great for taking photos.it also has secondary 5mp f2.0 aperture camera. I didnt notice any over exposure of colours. in night time front cam is working good. the mi company says that front cam has 4 pixels combine and form 1 superpixel to take great photos.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING IS PLEASE PUT SCREEN GUARD TO THIS PHONE. the reason is though it is a corning glass but I noticed some scratches in this mobile. C O N S:
there are few cons in this mobile.
I didnt like the design of this phone. from the front side of this phone it is great. but form the back side it is looking common . I mean if you look at mia1 you see antenna bands are shifted completely top. but this phone has regular antenna bands like redmi note 4.
another con is this phone doesnt come usb-c cable. nowadays every phone comes with usb-c cable. but tjis phone still comes with microusb cable.
another con is the ram usage. this phone is not keeping the information. when I used 6-7 apps, and again open them they are reloading, which I doesnt like.
another con is this phone doesnt come with android oreo. yes this phone still runs on android7.1.1 nougat.
another con which I observed is this phone face unlock speed is too slow. even though recently mi company gave an update for face lock, but when compared to oneplus and huawei honor, this phone face unlock speed is very very slow.
another con I observed is not recording 4k videos. this phone only records at 1080p video and video quality also not good.
overall my opinion about this phone is good. you can buy as this is cheaper when compared to other mobiles.
