I browsed youtube videos and most of them said mi a1 is the same price as note 5 pro, plus both are 4gb ...
But in msia the note 5 3gb is more expensive than a1 4gb.
Front camera for note 5 india is 20mb, ours is 13mb.

Interesting facts

Depending on what features you considered most important to you like multitasking performance, battery, gaming, camera, plain android, lightning fast n accurate finger print unlock, GPS face recognition unlock, EIS, dual wifi, speaker...etc.

cuz RN5, M1 pro, Nova 2i, honor 7x, honor 8, etc all similar price points but have diff pros, cons, plus issues,

note 5 is much better of course more expensive ours is also better camera than india. Please note in india redmi note 5=redmi 5+, maybe you confuse the two.

Paradise,

You got the wrong facts fren. You just going to confuse the poor guy further. India's RN5 is called RN5 Pro (for India only), NOT Redmi5+ (this is the older model). In Malaysia we get the RN5 international version, aka RN5 China version, aka RN5 AI.

redmi 5+(sd625) is called redmi note 5 in india... That's what I mean you confused my sentence...

Ok, sorry can be easily mistaken. Just that over here we don't usually refer RN5 India version as redmi 5+ because will confuse with the older version of redmi 5 & redmi 5A series etc

Mine so far no issue.

My Android System is at less than 4% (3.4% to be exact).

Android System power consumption also depending on how many apps running on the background. Try to kill/clear all apps when idle or before sleep if you don't set to auto kill. Next morning then do comparison, sure see drop.

noob here

what does that mean ?
*
It means the latest RN5 update has VOLTE capability included. However VOLTE capability also depended on telco capability or whether the telco you use provided that capbility. In Malaysia like Umobile has it. If you don't know what is VOLTE, google it...basically it means voice call using internet (don't incurred normal voice call charges).

i nv use VoLTE b4, but i dont think it is free.
coz u r using their framework to connect to another telco.

traditionally voice channel is limited to 8bit quality,
if u wan more bit, voice channel unable to provide u... tat y they use data channel in LTE.

so what does 8bit audio or more mean...
8bit - suitable to carry human voice data
16bit - music... voice+treble+bass like ur mp3 quality
24bit - music + more background sound... eg singer stepping on the floor sound (aka dancing) is recorded

in conclusion, if u r using VoLTE.. ur spouse will know whether u r cheating or not... they hear everything in background.

Sorry I mean no additional charges to your voice call for using VOLTE. But since most ppl already have unlimited voice call plan anyway (Umobile as low as RM30-prepaid plan), so basically is 'free' for using VOLTE for clear voice calls advantage.

On the cheating part, errr can't comment whether VOLTE's is more pro or con towards that scenario lar.... tongue.gif

I think what they meant is stock android (Pure android)?

I suggest you try hands on in physical Mi Store if possible, play with the phone see whether you can get used to it or not.

I think the latest Nova model from Huawei is the Nova 3i.

Stock android and pure android are 2 different things.

Stock android (normally refer as near stock android) refer to lightly skinned android by manufacturer meaning only added basic additional features or not heavily bloated hence the term near stock android.

Pure android meaning like it's name, pure android version from Google. Pure clean android without any additional features or skinned UI from manufacturers. But whether that particular model is pure android + Project Treble or not is another separate subset of pure android version. If is in project treble model, we get the advantage of faster and more android version upgrades + security patches updates (manufacturers normally only provide 1 Android OS upgrade e.g. Nougat to Oreo for stock android) as Google releases over time.
