Review


Camera vs A1


Feel like 5 Pro slightly sharper and better dynamic with color rendering.
But notice 5 Pro noise control not as good as A1.
Overall still accepted.

India claim the most powerful processor in midrange smartphone, but the downside still comes with micro USB.

Just launched in India. They got 2 variants: Redmi Note 5 & Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Redmi Note 5 basically is Redmi 5 Plus, just change the name only.

Redmi Note 5 Pro is the only one real successor of Redmi Note 4.

Now wait and see what's the price when it comes to here. Probably more than RM1000.

From the live stream, they seems to be emphasizing on the selfie cam performance.

Just follow one variant only then it should be enough. For example, if you like Redmi series, then follow Redmi series only. If you love Redmi Note, then follow Redmi Note series only.

Even if it doesn't comes with fast charging, it doesn't matter as the phone is already very good value for the price with Snapdragon 636 at that price.

I wonder...if I use Samsung fast charger (QC 2.0) to charge Redmi Note 5 Pro, can I get the QC 2.0 speed on it? Sorry for such a silly question. It's been a while I haven't touched Xiaomi phone. My last Xiaomi phones are Mi3 & Redmi Note 2. notworthy.gif

If you can wait of course get Redmi 5 pro.
If can't wait go with Redmi 5 plus instead of Pro, there's no any issue.
Make sure get 4/64 model.

QC2.0 and QC3.0 doesn't differs in terms of charging speed. It's just QC3.0 is have more voltage and amperage steps to have more efficient charging. Both had the same maximum charging wattage so they will charge at the same rate if both are charging at highest possible wattage. However QC2.0 only had 3 steps so if the phone started to heat up excessively, it would lower the wattage significantly but QC3.0 had much more steps so wattage doesn't decrease by much so provided if the temperature is ideal, both should be similar charging time taken.

Saying QC3.0 is faster than QC2.0 is only partially right.

To be frank.... You really think 1.5hrs can fully charge his fellow?
You all really need to dream more... It takes about 2+hrs to do so...
If the fastest charge in the world need 1+hrs to charge those flagship...
Think back logically... QC2.0 will charge it at same speed?

Nah, I would take the Mi Note 3 over the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

The Redmi Note 5 Pro, a phone with Snapdragon 636, micro USB, worse dual camera setup compared to Meizu M6 Note, and no water resistance, when imported to Malaysia will cost a lot and that will the make the phone more expensive compared to the Mi Note 3, a phone with a Snapdragon 660, USB Type C, better dual camera setup(scored 90 marks on DxOMark) and IP67 water resistance.

I think the problem is not whether we can wait or not but whether Mi Malaysia will bring in this model? As you all noticed, even can't get this Pro model in China. laugh.gif

Do you think DirectD going to bring in this? The ROM should be "Global" for Indian market, I think? Then there should not have the faked ROM issue.

It's likely produced in the india factory. If they don't launch this in china, can we even import this? India import no free trade area, higher taxes right?

Still remember mi4i? It was introduced in India as well back then. And then it was brought into Malaysia afterwards. And yes. It's global rom. I am sure redmi note 5 pro will follow this way as well.

Wow... That is amazing... Then no need QC3 and USB-C 3.0 charging... How many percent? GSM arena give it 29% for 30mins.... So it should be more than 1.5hrs... and with the charging slowing down after 80% means it might take about 2hrs...

He means the phone support qc 3.0 it just didn't come with a qc3.0 charger like what apple did.

Nah, I would take the Mi Note 3 over the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

The Redmi Note 5 Pro, a phone with Snapdragon 636, micro USB, worse dual camera setup compared to Meizu M6 Note, and no water resistance, when imported to Malaysia will cost a lot and that will the make the phone more expensive compared  to the Mi Note 3, a phone with a Snapdragon 660, USB Type C, better dual camera setup(scored 90 marks on DxOMark)  and IP67 water resistance.

Depend on preference. Someone will prefer to have a relatively larger battery, larger screen, audio jack and huge dev support.

Mi note 3 currently is lacking dev support in XDA which is a big letdown despite its good specs.

It's likely produced in the india factory. If they don't launch this in china, can we even import this? India import no free trade area, higher taxes right?

This I have no idea about import tax from India... sad.gif

Still remember mi4i?  It was introduced in India as well back then. And then it was brought into Malaysia afterwards. And yes. It's global rom. I am sure redmi note 5 pro will follow this way as well.
*

Yes, I bought Mi4i from Mi Malaysia last time, my first Xiaomi phone. biggrin.gif
But have no idea it took how long for Mi Malaysia to bring this in.

The problem is, what to do when 4GB/64GB version of Redmi 5 Plus release end of this month? To get it or to wait? Already waited this 5 Plus for so long, really don't want to keep waiting and waiting and waiting...

The hardware and price for Mi Note 3 is not bad, but I don't like the screen ratio. laugh.gif

If you don't play games and don't mind the quality of the camera, then just go for the Redmi 5 Plus. But if these 2 factors are important to your usage, then better wait for Redmi Note 5 Pro. That's how I look at it. Always choose the one that suits your need the most. thumbsup.gif

The 18:9 screen, dual lens camera and front camera flash and all is certainly nice but I think I'll wait for the A1 successor.

Stock android is kinda a must for maximum smoothness and future android updates. Hope they would include a nice 18:9 screen, flash for the front camera, ip6x water resistance and bigger battery. Don't mind paying more!

Yup! I seldom play game, even if I do, I play mostly 2D puzzle games.

I'm not really care about the camera that much because about 70% of photos in my gallery are product samples, static objects etc... laugh.gif

After breaking up all these, I think 4GB RAM version of Redmi 5 Plus should be enough for me, really don't know the reason or what is the point of those "extra capabilities" for my usage. tongue.gif

I meant that the camera is bad for videos, you need OIS for good camera which can do both videos and photos well. A good camera needs OIS to be good at videos, it's like you've never used a high end smartphone before.

And android Oreo had been introduced since last year yet they still come with Nougat doh.gif

I'm positive Redmi Note 5 Pro will not support for project Treble.

It's meaningless to argue about the camera. Redmi Note 5 Pro is still in Redmi line, thus the camera will not up to what we expected it should be.

Damn right. Redmi phones are budget phones. Redmi note 5 pro is a good phone, but it's not a great phone. If you want better camera and better specs, then Redmi phone is clearly not for you.

So guys, please stop condemning why Redmi note pro 5 don't have great camera, why don't have type - c etc. It is what it is. Like it, buy it. Don't like it, then go buy other phone. As simple as that.

Redmi Note 5/ Redmi 5+ looks pointless now. If they limit 2 from each Redmi and Redmi note series, they would have much more resource to focus on software support.

And really disappointed in micro usb choice.

Redmi Note 5/ Redmi 5+ looks pointless now. If they limit 2 from each Redmi and Redmi note series, they would have much more resource to focus on software support.

And really disappointed in micro usb choice.

Actually what is the benefit of micro usb C?

I actually prefer micro usb because of all the cables lying around lol

It's reversible, you can plug it upside down from both end.
And most important, it's the new tech. It's the future.

It really is 4xa73+4xa53. This is a weaker version of 660. Looks like a sd650 that won't burn you if you play game. rclxms.gif And the camera is good apparently. I think price sure rm1k + if official warranty. But so far no news it launch in china lol.

When Note 5 is released, will Note 4 and Note 4x as they are now around price RM550-600, will drop below 500?

I remembered Redmi Note 3 didn't drop much below 550, during its near end of stock.

India has a bigger markets than china markets will sell on taobao or AliExpress.
Now it's hard time to get from India.

To be honest like India made ,not easy to buy parts or LCD screen from any else.
If it's accidentally drop on the floors.
Unlike china assembly still able to get from AliExpress for all those parts..

Redmi Note 5 Pro or Mi Note 3?

Mi Note 3 have better SoC (SD660)
Mi Note 3 have USB-C
Both have good camera - do not know the difference until there is comparison
Redmi Note 5 Pro is cheaper (speculation since it is not here yet)

I am moving towards Redmi Note 5 Pro cause I don't care about USB-C (have lots of micro usb cable) and the cheaper price which I projected.

Hope they have global ROM version.

Oh..I was thinking about Mi A1 vs RN5pro on the camera part. Thanks for correcting me. Mi Note 3 camera is good too but we don't know until someone make the comparison.

I will probably wait few months then decide to get Mi Note 3 or Redmi Note 5 pro. I am moving towards Redmi Note 5 pro because it is top selling in India which means there will be a lot of thirdparty ROM support in the future. Also more likely to get ability to root the phone.

Mi A1 good for day light in portrait mode, but dose not meant the OS was gooding for overall .

Mi Note 3 was good on camera and portrait mode.
Is it can buy those accessories in MY?
Even screen protector or case.

Redmi note 5 pro will be on the way for hand on, so we can do anything to comments as much now.

To me Miui is better than Android One .

I think Xiaomi need to stop releasing so many phone models. This Redmi Note 5 Pro is almost the same as Mi Note 3 and Mi 6. They only will saturated their own market further and adding more work for their MiUI team to update firmware for the various models. That is why you see Samsung never update their low to mid range phones. They only update firmware (android version) for their high end models.

I was agreed.

Mi Note 3 not coming to MY.
Mi 6 still in higher performance range.
Note 5 Pro for high performance in midrange.

Xiaomi have their market strategy , they always focusing to everyone needs.

Can be cheap until high-end price range.
If you are the Xiaomi fag, you will following what is the latest Xiaomi products in the market so far.

The bad thing was phone price too cheap and lot of choices until you get confused.

Samsung like you got money come to buy me.

My point is, they release too many models until they don't have time to support the firmware. Look at redmi note 3. They promise Oreo for it but until now still no Oreo support.

Been using Redmi note 3 SD AP set bought it for rm620 from gem five at early 2016. Phone's been gooding till now. MIUI has certainly been good enough.
I skipped RN4 because i think the 5th would have major changes. So far Redmi Note 5 Pro satisfies the specs and budget. Lucky i saw the launch of this rn5 pro coz i almost wanted to buy Nova 2i.

and after 2-3years... sammie (midrange phone) totally stop releasing any updates

miui (lowend phone) as of rite now... once in awhile still releasing update
their problem is...
they didnt release any kernel source or upgrade the os to android 6,7 or 8 as promised

They did not promise oreo for that phone, where did you even hear it.

Xiaomi snapdragon phones, you will get 1 android update then they update their os for around 3 years. Redmi 1s finally get their last miui update with 9. You compare huawei, get 1 android update thats it. Samsung supposedly j series get update now, I know in the past 0 updates for budget series. I think my friend's j7+ only august or september security patch, redmi note 3 is january patch. Don't just listen to the websites complain, furthermore miui 9 update speed up the phone by a lot. I tried before custom rom on that phone can't feel the supposed faster aosp, the same only. Official lineage os actually slower. You can feel miui kill app early to keep os smooth, lineage wait until no more ram to kill so it become laggy like the old android.

I'm prettt sure that Xiaomi didn't promise Oreo for that particular model or even hint about it. It's only the forumer keep spamming we want Oreo or petition.

Project Treble is not android dependant but it is mostly manufacturer's responsibility
Oneplus 5T comes with Oreo but without project Treble
implementation takes time and work, which most OEMs doesnt do as frequent

// on the side note

hope this phone comes to Malaysia fast because my RN3pro is dying
i dont mind AP set. it's all the same to me

Not possible unless AP set if they can get.. Xiaomi Malaysia didn't give any hint on released date, maybe.. maybe Batam Factory not ready yet.. coz our market/Asean hold by EIN..

Redmi Note 5 & Note 5 Pro moniker only for India market coz they didn't market Redmi 5 & 5 Plus over there.

Others market if they got Redmi 5 Plus they wont get Redmi Note 5.. they only get RN5 aka RN5 Pro..

Too many stock. FYI, Xiaomi is the largest customer of Snapdragon. News said they bought a lot of SD 625. Of course they would have to try so hard to clear off the stock.

I dont thing so coz is all about pricing & at this day all phone with SD660 price more than RM1.5k.. If Xiaomi want to keep price below RM1k, SD625/636 is the best until SD700 series become available.. At that time SD660 is the best SoC below RM1k

Is it faulty or due to firmware version? Have you tried reset the phone? Mine is still working very well. I didn't update the firmware for quite some time. I think it is a few version backdated.

Who care about GSMarena's news while they always copied other sources without any verification.

When we talk about Xiaomi news, always refer to Xiaomi official weibo (twitter in China). It represents Xiaomi official, so their announcement is the most accurate one.

In Xiaomi official weibo, they posted a poll and asked the people to vote which part of phone spec they wish to have surprise. The result is not important. The one we should concern about is the hint that given by the Xiaomi official. Apparently, Xiaomi official voted the camera. Indirectly telling us that there's a surprise on the camera performance of the upcoming Redmi Note 5 Pro China version.


If you ask me which one to believe, of course I will always trust their official twitter.

Yes, indeed, surprsingly it worked in Bangkok for my csse, so this can mean the telco networks here do not works with Xiaomi / Redmi series well ? Telco engineering expert may have the answer lol

For many random cases, Xiaomi and Redmi series GPS works properly initially, but after a while or some time later, erratic behaviour come.

Who care about GSMarena's news while they always copied other sources without any verification.

When we talk about Xiaomi news, always refer to Xiaomi official weibo (twitter in China). It represents Xiaomi official, so their announcement is the most accurate one.

In Xiaomi official weibo, they posted a poll and asked the people to vote which part of phone spec they wish to have surprise. The result is not important. The one we should concern about is the hint that given by the Xiaomi official. Apparently, Xiaomi official voted the camera. Indirectly telling us that there's a surprise on the camera performance of the upcoming Redmi Note 5 Pro China version.
If you ask me which one to believe, of course I will always trust their official twitter.

Which era you are coming from? Zenfone 2 series? Asus in XDA literally dead already since Zenfone 3. I dont even see people having Zenfones with custom roms anymore. Zen Ui is already good as it is.

Yes Xiaomi phones generally have lower build quality than other brand. But i dont dare to buy Zenfone above 1k anyway.

You probably have more than your share of bad luck with Xiaomi products. To me they are decent to good quality and deliver more than comparably priced products from what I've seen in their budget and mid price range.

Agreed about the late release of source code but the MiA1 source code was released over a month ago which isn't too bad.

What do you mean same time? Same time release? Then the answer is no. We have wait for at least 2-3 months before it comes into our market. You can always choose AP set if you can't wait.

Just what sort of problems did you actually face by device model?

The yellowish screen is a known qc issue for some Xiaomi phones but I don't think Xiaomi is above the industry average for wifi/power ic failures. There are many teardown reviews for Xiaomi products and they consistently show quite good quality/design for the selling price without cutting too many corners and defintely not on components that impact consumer safety.

Some of the problems on Xiaomi phones may be due to an unstable power grid which is common in India or using poor quality chargers. Or custom roms that overclocks the cpu and kills the phone by overheating. And theres the issue of Xiaomi fakes.

USB type C is reversible and much more durable than Micro USB. Other than that, USB tyoe C comes with USB-PD standard.

well, that is hardly a deal breaker, isn't it?

I think for it's price, the good things you get from it far outweight that usb-c. For example, given the choice of good camera vs usb-c, I would choose good camera.

It's indeed not a deal breaker. But for some people, using old technology in year 2018 is not acceptable. I guess at the end it's a matter of preference. For me, I can go both way. But since already get used to USB type C, need to be extra careful when using micro usb cable. Don't want to spoil the charging port because pluggin in the wrong way. tongue.gif

I think that's Redmi 5 plus which already been released in Malaysia, since "Vince" is the code name for Redmi 5 plus.

The "real" Redmi Note 5 (China/International SD636) of course is no where to be found in the system since it's not yet released in China.

Well, MET7 or MEG7, both of them are still the same. Redmi 5 plus = Redmi Note 5. Different code, same product.

Also FYI, the MEG7 seems already appeared in Sirim since last year.

Yup.. Xiaomi already said RN5 SD625 & RN5Pro moniker only for Indian market coz R5/R5Plus not available over there. Indian RN5 also known as R5Plus in China & Others including Malaysia. To differentiate RN5 between SD625 & SD636 in Indian market xiaomi use Pro.. RN5 SD625 a.k.a R5Plus, our market had 6 variants from 2GB till 4GB & memory from 16GB till 64GB. As xiaomi said China & others will only have 1 name & call as RN5 SD636 with 4GB/6GB 64GB with diff spec

It is a "Xiaomi Online Store". Xiaomi doesn't sell products on their store. It is just some re-seller thinks that it is a good idea to use that name to spoof as official store for sales.

Tax? Malaysia customs is pretty loose with the taxes and it is very unlikely for officer to hold your parcel for taxes as it is small and the value declared is low. Since the parcel is small, they will usually believe the value declared on the parcel.They are more interested in larger parcel usually >10KG or high declared value parcel.

Have been buying phones from Aliexpress and none of it slapped with taxes before.

Just order it and make a payment. If you use DHL, you will very likely get slapped with tax. Other method risk are so low that it is almost non-existence.
Hong Kong Goldway, Dreami are two sellers that had very good reputation. Although they are slightly more expensive but their service made up for it.

Do your research. Don't buy with impulse. If you are still not sure if they are legit then wait for the phone to launch over here or buy from importers here in Lazada. You still have your phone to use, right? No need to rush. I don't understand why people have to rush to get new techs. So you are number one, and then? Can fly?

If they launched it in India, does this means it is global rom? I assume there will be no bloated Chinese apps and will have Google Play. That means if we buy the China launched phone, we can flash it to India ROM?

Someone need to try that out! icon_rolleyes.gif

I assume that it can be flashed to India ROM without issues. But i think China rom is Oreo and India Rom is still Nougat.

Also another thing is China's version of RN 5 Pro enhanced camera would be affected if using india rom. hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

Using any form of quick charge already increase the rate of battery worn out. Furthermore, the phone will not allow more current than it can do so to prevent damage. Whether to use which charger is up to your choice.

12 more hours to the launch.

But here's the leaked spec. No need to ask where's the sos. Xiaomi's boss Lei Jun sendiri "bongkar" punya. So ya. IT'S THE REAL DEAL. brows.gif

SD 636, 6GB Ram, 4000 mAh, AI dual rear camera, AI front camera with portrait mode and face unlock.

Front camera 13MP, rear camera (main) 1.4um, 2PD-PDAF

The camera part indeed is different with the India spec.

I will get the 3gb version. Good enough for me as it's my secondary phone.

The seems to focus a lot on the camera feature which is a good thing as all the previous redmi phones have lousy camera and that is the number one complain for most users!

Bout the same price range, India pro version with 20mp front selfie cam, but if not mistaken lack the AI adjustment. And the pro version only available in either 4 or 6gb only. The 3gb version priced pretty good though

bro, getting a phone is not only for it's specs. That 360 is an unknown brand. What about things like build quality? reliability? screen quality? voice quality? Android version? Firmware upgrade? After sales service? GPS?

The tieba say emmc 5.1 vs 5.0 for india version. This one, 4+64 1399 rmb how much in rm i wonder. Interested in camera review. I see people say redmi 5 not as smooth, maybe the full screen higher resolution need stronger gpu.

Maybe unknown for you as it never marketed here. 360 is in the phone market for few years already and major target audiences are mainland customers smile.gif. Smartisan nut pro 2 also come with sd 660 at 4+64 around the similar price range, with a much better look and clean design.

The Chinese ROM imitates iPhone X gestures....

Hoping the iPhone X gestures will be baked into the global ROM too...

In the meantime, my hypothesis for the 4/64GB variant should be RM899 (early bird) and RM949 (SRP), i.e. to be at par with Meizu M6 Note (local manufacturer warranty) :

As I said previously, gsmarena is not reliable. For China phone spec, you will need to refer to their official website. If Xiaomi didn't mention USB type c in the launch event or on their website, then it means it doesn't have USB type c.

This one has bigger sensor, should be better.

The gestures look nice, I didn't know can make back from right swipe. Convenient and makes sense since android don't support forward. Wish Google will add this officially to android.

Pricing part is decided by xiaomi lor (official channel). Like honor 9 lite 3+32 variant which currently sell for 1.2k rmb in china, the price is also pretty similar on vmall malaysia. Besides another new sd 636 phone also going to be out by next Wed, so more choice for us consumers

Meizu VP Li Nan already spoken the upcoming MBlu E3 standard version will come with 6gb ram

The key is the "Timing". If they bring late then there will be more competitors will come into the market with better pricing and similar/better specs. Look at Nova 2i and Redmi 5 (3/32). Price drop quite fast even just after launch not for long. Even own brand also compete among themselves (Huawei vs Honor vs Others). I believe if RN5P arrived then R5/5+ price will be pressured too.

huawei may drop the price anytime ,they selling high price in beginning & all the parts made in china even the processor is inhouse prcocessor.

Xiaomi need to pay Qualcomm & Snapdragon for the license.

Nova 2i selling 855 now & mate 10 was RM1.9K with free RM200 supercharged powerbank.

I will put RN5P "similar" spec and head to head to Nova 2i and i hope RN5P in MY Price should be <RM1K for the 4/64 variant (my first pick). Probably 3/32 is below norm and 6/64 is overprice and overkill spec.

FAST FAST bring in to MY market hopefully by end March will be seeing AP set online selling! Can't wait to hold it on hand!!

Won't have any risk from AliExpress, they have sold a plenty of reviews.
I bought my Mi Mix 2 white from them.
If they slower to ship out or no stock can refund as well.
But 415 SGD not consider as cheap for pre-order.
The advantages for Chinese ROM, no headache like they installed fake global rom for you.

Interesting, the samsung sensor spec is still better than the sony; bigger sensor size + dual PD focus. Let's wait for proper reviews.

I believe if they will ever use Sony sensor in it, it will be Sony IMX 362 which has exactly the same specs as the Samsung S5K2L7.

Definitely not the IMX 486 as in RN5pro india version. Xiaomi is known to use different sensor in different batch, but they always use ones with same specs.

Edited: In Meizu m6 Note specs, it says "camera sensor could be either Sony IMX362 or Samsung 2L7". So i believe my theory is true lol

I noticed buy the concerns is

(i) Bandwidth support : Is the phone can be used in MY since the global version might carry different Band support and

(ii) Hassle delivery (Custom tax, Wrong product, Missing product, Faulty product etc) since basically there is almost ZERO support for oversea purchase.

I read some unhappy experiences from online buyers eg. missing product, hard to claim if product defect but to be fair, most of the buyers were giving positive reviews to major sellers.

I bought few products from Aliexpress before but it's all less expensive items and so far not much problem (Only delivery time might be longer).

i ) Have to check the phone network bands. It's usually stated there. The china version can be used in Malaysia according to the network specs.

Very strong Poison!

For me 4 gb is good enough since I am not active gamers etc... Personally I don't think they wilt bring in 6gb la... The price could be near 1.5k and many will top up additional few hundreds to get flagship phone eg view 10 or OP5T.

But I am very welcome if seller price at 1099 for 6gb!

Don't believe in some of the reviews as some of them are bias. Like the Mi Explorer program. No doubt the camera quality has improved but I doubt it can compete with iphone X. For example, look at the good initial reviews on the camera on Redmi Note 3. After I got it, I can say it's like shit. Worst that my old iphone 5. If you have no friends and only take pictures of inanimate objects then Redmi Note 3 have good camera. LOL...

I'll reserve my opinion until I see reviews of the Redmi Note 5 camera from more trust-able reviewers.

You're aiming for which variant? the India variant RN5 Pro or China variant Redmi Note 5 ?
I'm getting the China variant. I guess you'll need to call up Gstore and check with them.

Yeaps, listed by Gstore as well. But the spec info not that accurate though. Have to get clarification from Gstore dulu.

Rear Camera Dual 12 MP (f/2.2, 1.25 μm) + 5 MP (f/2.0, 1.12 μm), phase detection autofocus, LED flash

Got la. Some more it's QC3.0. The only problem is they don't provide you a QC charger in the box. You need to buy one on your own.

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.

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.

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. flex.gif

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....

Source : xiaomi-miui.gr

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...

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.

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

Nope they are selling China version. Xiaomi does not provide details in english for RN5 China version, yet. So they simply use the RN5pro's one.
