Sifus,
Is it better to get Redmi5 (3gb+32gb) or Redmi5+ (4gb+64gb)? Is the difference in price worth it in terms or specs? More concerned about battery life and lag issues. Not that heavy a user of apps but then again, all these apps seem to be hogging, updating and taking up a lot of storage space. Currently using old Redmi2 (1gb+8gb) which is running out of space. |

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.

QUOTE(QWERTYUIOP12 @ Feb 6 2018, 09:36 PM) You stated yourself you are not a heavy user 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...  If with 16+2gb RAM people can still 'survive', why 32+ 3gb RAM cannot ? What you need is a good management  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 |

QUOTE(QWERTYUIOP12 @ Feb 6 2018, 10:11 PM) Ah, yes, I noticed that too. Thanks for the advice. Yeah, getting too expensive a phone also no point unless use for a minimum of 3+ years.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. |

QUOTE(Emo_Boy @ Feb 7 2018, 03:45 PM) my RN4 left 3GB internal storage...nowadays fewdays the apps get update... Cukup cos' I always:really tak cukup la...at least 64GB 1. Block all updates until the app say cannot use, then I let it update 2. I uninstall all the 'crap' that I don't use. 3. I never download all the videos that people kindly 'share' with me unless it's really important. 4. Periodically delete and flush all the garbage accumulated down the toilet. Otherwise, only 8gb internal... how to survive bro? OS already take like 2.5, left 5.5gb... and I need at least 1gb spare space to allow the bloody Xiaomi update file to unpack and load |

QUOTE(andrewhtf @ Feb 7 2018, 04:20 PM) that's what i have been doing with my 1st gen moto G. but after a while other issue crop up, apps lag/hang/force close by itself and i dowan to go factory reset it, so i got myself this redmi and gonna move everything over. once done baru i factory reset and sell it off. Yes, it's a fine line. Getting too much ram and internal memory, might not be value for money, unless use in excess of 3 years. I think 3gb+32gb is somewhat enough so long as not playing a lot of games. And ensure the OS moves all the songs and videos to the external SD card. |

What's the major difference between Redmi 5 vs Redmi 5 plus if both are 3g, 32gb? Apart from the screen?
Can't decide between the two and not sure if the price difference is worth it... Used to smaller size phone. |

Wifi Single band vs Dual band (Redmi 5 lus) LED Flash Single tone vs Dual tone (redmi 5 plus) SoC Snapdragon 450 vs Snapdragon 625 (redmi 5 plus) Overall, Redmi 5 plus is better in terms of value. 1, 4, can understand what does 2 and 3 do? |
