You talking about Redmi 5 only?
For Redmi 5 plus still remain 4000 mAh and same processor SD625.

Redmi 5 is upgrade for Redmi 4x but still, jumping from 5 to 5.7" is too big.

I believe Redmi note 5 will be released at higher price later.

20 megapixel front camera??

ada budget top up another RM150-200 get Mi Note 3 lagi power

Hi guys.

Just got my Redmi 5 Plus official Xiaomi Malaysia set few days back.
Have been using this device as a secondary phone to complement my daily driver iPhone X.

Snapped this photo while I was testing the camera at the shop.


First impressions: -

Packaging
First and foremost, I love the new box design! Also, its great that Xiaomi is even bundling a factory-fitted matte screen protector on the phone itself right out of the box. Even a nice black-translucent silicone case is included with embossed wordings 'Designed by Mi' on the case itself.

Screen
Very impressive for a sub-RM800 device. Great colours and sharpness. No complaints. I turn on Reading Mode permanently and set Contrast to 'Standard' for better colour-saturation. As this is one of the newer Xiaomi phones that use the 18:9 display ratio, it really gives a big difference compared to older Xiaomi 16:9 devices like the Redmi Note 4, and Mi Max 2. I mainly love how YouTube videos look in wide-screen mode. The curved cut-off corners also make it look very nice like many other recent 18:9 display ratio phones.

Battery Life
Totally awesome. I tested this on 4G outdoors on data-roaming (as I'm currently not in Malaysia) and I am still able to get 8-9 hours Screen-On-Time (SOT) before the battery hits 20%. Even though a fast-charger is not included, the phone does support fast charging with a QC2.0/3.0 charger. The cable supplied is also fast-charge compatible too. 

Performance
Even though the SnapDragon 625 SoC (System On Chip) is quite old, the performance is still really good on the Redmi 5 Plus running on MIUI version 9. The interface is pretty snappy and there are no lags of slowdowns while navigating. I noticed some slow loading times only when playing certain graphic-intensive games.

Design and Build Quality
The phone feels truly solid in the hand. The extra tall design (due to the new 18:9 ratio display) makes it look stunning and premium. Furthermore, since Xiaomi has ditched the capacitive navigation buttons at the bottom (which cheapens the look of previous Xiaomi phones) and went for on-screen buttons in the display itself, it gives the Redmi 5 Plus a more streamlined look.

Camera
Not having OIS is really a deal-breaker here. You need to keep your hands super steady if you want to capture photos indoors as the camera shutter itself is not very fast to compensate for the lack of OIS. However, aside from OIS, the camera produces some really nice photos with great colour output, and it is much better than many other previous Xiaomi devices (higher end ones included). I believe Xiaomi has did some vast improvement in the camera software processing algorithm recently.

Conclusion
Excellent value for money at RM749 with official Xiaomi Malaysia warranty. My experience with this phone has been enjoyable thus far. Highly recommended!
