Guys, will Redmi 5+ with 3gb RAM and 32gb storage suffice? Not really a heavy user... but just that apps seem to be hogging more and more storage all the time and afraid apps will hang with insufficient RAM.

for secondary phone ...yes... enough for normal usage...

for my suggestion go for 4+64GB you wont regret....the screen is big and beautiful enough for 1K budget phone thumbsup.gif

Since I've no experience in doing this kind of thing, I might just return for refund. Doesnt know that it would end up like this by just simple update.

for redmi 5a onward... Miui phone with fake rom your phone will show unofficial rom & u can't bind the account with fake rom.

the only way is open up the backcover use testpoint method to enter EDL.

Mi trying to prevent 3rd party seller install 3rd party firmware caused your personal info might be hack by thoose seller.

Lesson: Next time, don't buy an AP set until proper global rom is available.

You stated yourself you are not a heavy user tongue.gif

If with 16+2gb RAM people can still 'survive', why 32+ 3gb RAM cannot ? What you need is a good management smile.gif

Point is, the phone is already not sealed upon receiving. The box is already opened. I can assume DirectD had flashed with the unofficial ROM. Which upon update to latest MIUI, it was not able to proceed.

Still can be return for refund within 7 days. just see if any sifu here have any solution.

Actually gt solution , just see u dare to do it or not .use test point mode flash back to china dev rom than request unlock bootloader (normally need wait 360hour), after approval flash again to global stable . if not just send back to directd only

It 'used' to be I was not a heavy user. But then I found out some apps were useful... Uber, Grabcar, then some more apps and some more apps...

Seriously though, these apps keep updating and hogging up space. Xiaomi OS and Google itself also installs a godly amount of apps... I had to block and uninstall most of these bloatware to keep things manageable doh.gif

Ah, yes, I noticed that too.

But if you think your future usage will not change so much than your current usage, no worry.

Even if left only 1gb free of storage , that's still plenty.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, getting too expensive a phone also no point unless use for a minimum of 3+ years.
