Well, I received my phone, and so far I'm alright with everything...

Except for the screen. The colors are washed out (vs. Redmi Note 3 (!!!)) and adjusting the contrast and colors doesn't help. Sigh

Redmi note 3 on the left, Note 5 on the right.

EDIT: To stop you guys from becoming SUPER confused, I am comparing
SCREEN COLOR VIBRANCY/CONTRAST/Whateveryouwanttocallit

The picture in BOTH phones IS THE SAME PICTURE, taken by someone else. I am NOT comparing camera quality.

I would suggest checking out a demo unit and seeing it (color saturation loss on note 5) for yourself.

To clarify - It's the same picture, from Twitter, not taken with 2 different cameras.

Yes, everything is less vibrant, including the UI. Using the RN3 for 2 years+ spoiled me to that saturation level.

No, I am not comparing camera quality. Obviously the RN5's camera is superior to RN3.

Yes, color calibration tools should be able to make the screen more vibrant.

I think you not hold phone at the right position.. My Mi5 also like this and to get the real color I need to adjust position to let more light enter before snap..

For the last time, I am not comparing RN3 and RN5 camera quality. Edited original post for clarity.

Insane battery loss compared to previous version. This is on idle, with no apps running. Sometimes it is Cell Standby eating the battery. Sometimes it is Android process itself.

Not sure who in Xiaomi performing testing for this update zzz

If anyone knows how to fix this, would be grateful.

Battery consistently loss 30% every night (11pm - 6am). Randomly phone can heat up (until like 45C+ when charging).

Will never ever update from a stable build again.

Already reset to factory settings. Waste my time, same nonsense.

the downward slide is on idle, power saving on, all apps closed. The item consuming battery is the Cell Standby.

Ya you are one of the lucky one... now my phone, even when switched off, battery can reach from 80% to 0% overnight. Something seriously wrong with the OS.
