just curious  - is 3G RAM suffice for Android use?
what with 4G and now 6G RAM becoming more common. Minimum should be 4G for a stable use?

I have been using my redmi note 5 3gb ram for 6 months now, still very smooth with the latest MIUI update.

If you are using for normal Web browsing, youtube, WhatsApp with occasional gaming (PUBG with basic settings) then it's more than enough.

Thank you for reply. Almost exactly my use except absolutely no gaming at all.

Whatsapp have to for work. Youtube and FB mainly for timepass. So I guess 3G should be enough. Just thought since Android OS is more .. demanding (if that's the right word) then maybe 4G should be minimum what with most brands having their own skin on top.

If you can afford 4gb ram variant, better get 4gb ram for future proof, plus it has more storage 64gb.

Owh, I think it's because I downloaded a bit then I paused due to slow Internet.

Hmm, havent tried rooting on RN5 AI before, i did it on the RN 3 before. Rooting will cause some apps unable to function or launch such as Banking apps ( Public Bank and HSBC ). Not sure about now on RN5 as i've moved on to Mi Mix 3.

Bro, how's the Mi Mix 3? Interested in it when it hits Malaysia officially soon

You can pull down the notification bar and tap on the call recording thing after ending your call.

I'd say it's a really great phone. Even though i'm in China ROM beta, everything is a breeze. No hangs, fast gps lock ,  smooth and everything is a breeze. Phone vibration isn't that strong but somehow i find it very nice and solid compared to other phones.

Thanks for the reply!

How's the battery life? I am kinda used to RN5 4K battery life.

And what about the camera? Especially the front selfie camera. Omg the sliding mechanism must be hnnngh right? biggrin.gif

If me I would keep sliding it up and down lol

I prefer the previous navigation button.

On a better note, seems like battery life improved a bit.

My Redmi Note 5 still working great after 8 months.

Though with just 3gb ram, but still blazing fast like first day.

However, just got Mate 20 today.

From China to China phone lol.

Redmi Note 5 is my first try into Xiaomi, and I can say they really produce good quality phones at really affordable prices.
