For China phone review, I prefer to watch Chinese review. Sometimes western reviewers may not familiar with China phone, so they may have no idea what they are talking about.

I watched a lot reviews directly from its origin China, I can guarantee you that redmi note 5 China variant does support QC 3.0.

Yup, can see a lot of Indian users complaining about this haha

Haha. What to do? China is the origin of redmi, of course they would keep the good stuff to themselves. At first, I did envy that India Since they got the phone first. But now after the China variant launch, no need to envy liao. China variant FTW! Just hope that the one that bring into our market is the China variant.

I doubt that.

- bitter Redmi 4 Prime user.

When it first launched at India, i started researching of buying from India website and use a forwarder to ship to Malaysia. All those research went to drain when Xiaomi announced China variant.

have you bought your redmi note 5 ai yet?

or going to wait it to settle awhile first. since it just arrive today

I've ordered mine but not from local importers. Let's see how fast it will arrive lol.

Initial energy stats:
"We were able to achieve a good battery rating for this unit since its a Snapdragon (Qualcomm is known for their battery efficiency), we lasted a day on normal usage without hitting the charging port or power bank. PC Mark Battery Stress Test rated it at 14 hours 1 minute SOT, which is quite impressive already for a new SoC in the market, this is 2 hours more than the Redmi Note 5 Pro which lasted for 12 hours on the same battery stress test. Now we have tested the charging time, we were able to charge from 20% to 100% within 1 hour and 39 minutes as we monitored it closely while charging. The maximum ampere that we have achieved is 2510mAh on a QC 3.0 charger supplied with the Mi 6, therefore this debunks the claim that this unit supports QC 3.0 charging."

Lots of sample pix in this initial review too....

Conclusion :For 4,000mAh energy supply having 14 hours SoT is really impressive by looking at Snap636 over Snap625.... even my LeMoto P2 which has 5,100mAh only can get 17 hours for the same PC Mark Battery Stress Test...

Gaming review too...

the china one is better spec?

Looks likely.

with qc3.0 surely will charge faster

i read qc3 will break ur battery even faster 😅

nowadays your phone hardly survive more than 3 years...

Small price to pay for saving time. Which is more important? Time or RM50 (battery replacement)? If you really want to save your battery, best way is to charge it up to 85% only.

AliExpress has big offer today

If that's the case, then change to Note 6. Lol.

You're wrong nowadays we have many activities than previous.
Try to uninstall WhatsApp and see how the battery life.

636 should be less battery life than 625 but of course more powerful. Also the screen larger.

my whatsapp consume very little power on my current phone, mostly is games and android system
