Why still got phones come out with 16gb model? Shouldn't 32gb become the standard already?

Is it better to get Redmi 5 or Redmi Note 4? Dont own a Xiaomi phone, so not sure which one is recommended.

should be, unlikely any global rom AP set in Msia yet

anyway not a concern for me, i am still using android 4.4 from 2015 until today.
so even if no update, i can still use android 7.0 for the next 2-3 years, no issue.
they all felt the same anyway. plus i dont tweak or anything, just use the phone for whatsap, fb youtube browsing hotspot and maps only. no play games. no custom roms. so should be ok

Why so hard to just have Google playstore installed? Eventually they still need to have it installed for other countries rite?

Is 32gb space sufficient for R5/R5 Plus? Lets say normal apps installation and few games

If I want to buy a Redmi 5 now, do i still wait or not? Because after reading the last few pages of horror stories, so a bit dilemma.

What weak processor, 450 is only 625 with slightly lower clocks. 2gb ram though definitely not enough but at 499 good phone for old people. I surprised at 499 price, so cheap.

How much space would be left for the 16gb model after minus the OS?

Went to try out Redmi 5 Plus at DirectD 222. Feels good and solid, not too big to hold even on 1 hand. Looking at the storage left, it was about 18gb left out of 25gb space. Might just get the 3gb 32gb model biggrin.gif

because i think huawei smarter.....they put the NAME there instead of blank....'coz side to side compare....R5+ look ugly

I would not want to be constantly reminded that I bought a Huawei by looking at the word everytime I use the phone. So it's a minus for me.

I bought my 3/32GB from Lazada with RM70 discount (some voucher code) so it was 679 from Mi Malaysia official store. Then the 4/64GB one launched the following week cry.gif
