Just got myself the 3gb version from physical Mi Store.

This is my first ever Mi phone in my life.

First impression, I am impressed.

Coming from S7 edge, for this price, this is hands down the best value for money phone you can get at this price range.

From my first few hours of setting up, I love MIUI (though i changed to Nova launcher), superb battery life, great screen, and good camera.

And I don't think this will be my last Mi device.

Xiaomi, you just got yourself a new fan.

2 day of usage of RN5 really impressed me. I'm coming from Nexus 6P after 3 years of usage. The RN5 performance really shock me even with MiUI, it felt really smooth. Gaming and battery life were really good. A nice phone to have with low budget.

Impressed me too. My first Xiaomi phone, and definitely not my last.

Coming from S7 edge.

Test camera:-

Read awhile back that the back camera had a protective film on it that caused some issues.
Does all unit have that layer of protector?
I'm looking at mine and there seems to be none.
Any new owners here can advise?
Thanks much

Got ah? I just bought few days ago, but I checked don't have any film or layer also.

One thing is am scared to scratch or crack the camera lense.

Any good casing or camera protector that I can get?

Thanks!

Good service.

Owh ya, now I remember someone did post that. I think it's due to camera lense protecter that the fella installed on their own. From the box, it doesn't come with any layer.

Thanks for the link!

Charged to 100% yest lunch time, then started my battery draining activities.

Fb, lowyat, Iflix, YouTube, movies, no gaming though. All done on data, no WiFi.

Used to play PUBG but quit recently. Might start again to test gaming performance and endurance for gaming.

Now gonna test charging time with stock charger.

It's very confusing when browsing site like  11 street or Astro . So many diff pricing ! Any advice on which is the reliable source ? Similar model some sell at rm699 while some sell at over 1k. First time buyer, normally prefer to shop at retail shop!  Worst , think it's better off to buy from the xiaomi authorized shop! These sellers in 11 st and Astro are not official channel rite?
*
True, but it's much cheaper to purchase online, plus with discount vouchers if you know how.

But though I am an avid fan of online shopping, I got my RN5 unit from physical Mi Store, cos I wanna open there and then to check for any defects and try on the spot.

For me, the difference in price is worth compared to worrying about postage condition and kena scammed online.

Up to the individual really.

If you have to rate the camera doesn't this phone against the old flagships, how does it perform?

Coming from S7 edge (used 1 year 2 months), of course S7e camera is better, and of course price cannot compare la.

But RN5 camera is no slouch either.

It's usable for day to day, or even for travelling purpose. For this price range, it's good.

Of topic question.

Is it okay now to update to the latest version of the MIUI? I've been holding from updating the phone because of some bad comments on the latest version of the MIUI.
*
Nope didn't update as I read got battery drain issue.

Am happy with the current MIUI version biggrin.gif

Gonna hold out till MIUI 10 come and wait for more feedback first.

Any diff if buying from the physical store?  How much dearer compared to online? It's more peace of mind rite to buy from the store. I am still contemplating to get this phone!

Don't think too much, just walk into a physical Mi Store, play with the demo unit and make your purchase.

The feeling of getting it at a physical store is the best for me, though I can order cheaper online.

No fuss, no worries about delivery condition.

On the spot open box and turn on phone, check until puas. smile.gif

I am enjoying my RN5. No regrets.

If you are asking about only the Redmi Note 5, officially there are two variant available at physical mi stores.

3gb ram / 32gb storage
4gb ram / 64gb storage.

Today was my first time trying out the GPS since I got this phone a week ago.

Indoors detection is not good. Couldn't detect at all.

For outdoors, I want to tell happened, not sure whether you guys have experienced before.

So I was downloading movies from Iflix to watch offline later (since I just changed to new GX50 unlimited plan today biggrin.gif).

Then I needed to use Waze but it can't detect GPS. Accuracy also set to the highest.

Saya bingung.

Then I paused my download and try again. Surprisingly boleh pulak detect GPS.

So my conclusion is I need good mobile network for my phone GPS to work.

And GPS for RN5 is weak to bad in my opinion. My previous S7e will lock in within seconds.

Oh well.
