I purchased it last Sunday.

It seems the 9.5.6.0 have many issues...
The MIUI version that I had is 9.5.6.0 (Android Oreo 8.1) out of the box.

I found the front camera is very blur when I take selfie with the flash ON in low light.

The front camera is very clear in day light.

You guys have this issue?

Frankly, the front flash implementation is kinda stupid coz it detect your face and ON it permanently. Too annoying.

They should implement it in the way that when user touch the screen, the LED ON for a moment to do focusing or metering, Then ON again during image capture. Off it right after capture is complete.

Is the problem I stated above happened in Nougat ROM as well?

Hi, anyone update 9.5.13.0 already?
How is it, any problem?

I think the camera is improved.
I bought it with 9.5.6.0 out of the box and got so disappointed on the camera performance.
But after 9.5.13.0 the photo is much clearer.

No issues for unlocked bootloader phones using bank apps. Just dont root your phone, some bank apps might not launch.

Use Magisk to Root.
Magisk Hide can hide the root from the bank app.

Guys, I need your help to do a test for me.

My unit, when you activate the front flash, photo captured by front camera looks like oil painting.

it is most obvious when you turn off the light at night and use front camera to take photo with front flash, it just looks very blur.

It make me doubts that whats the purpose of the front flash.

Do you guys face same problem?

when i bought my mi max 2 i got the 3 pin, RN5 i got the 2 pin
only difference is that the 3 pin was qc 2.0 and the 2 pin was just the normal charger

and both have the ein sticker
*
Doesn't matter for me. The 2 pin I just leave it to collect dust. I'm using my Honor stock charger and surprisingly the quick charge icon showed up. 😂

I agreed but RN5 also lack the most important Type-C! Super fast-charging!

Wahlao, 2.5 hr charged 0% to 100% for 4000mah not enough meh~

You want half hour charged from 0% to 100%?

Although I never use the stock charger before, but I read online that stock charger not support fast charge also can charge the battery from 0 to 100 in 2.5 hour.
Fast charge faster a bit, I think is 2.25 hour maybe?

I used my Honor fast charge adapter, I "feel" very fast. I always scare it will blow up.

2.5 Hr is long for a full charge. I do understand you meant 4000mah, that's require longer time for full charge.

I rather it charged fully faster than require longer time to charge. Because if longer time, I will just plug-in and leave it overnight. Some say is not good, but I couldn't wait 2.5 hours for full charge. Yeah, some phone have those feature that auto stop receiving charge, once full charge has been achieved. Is this phone capable of that?

Type-C able to give quick boost. Eg. 30% in 20 minutes. I really like the quick boost feature, once one phone battery is almost dead.

Just sharing my opinion. I may not get the fact correctly, as I just based it on my experience and my everyday.
Good to know. Thanks!

I do realize that RN5 is no doubt more superior than A1. Don't get me wrong on this. I absolutely agree.

Sometimes it is not about features but those small small things that affect your everday. Or it could be just the user like me, who reluctantly to get pass. Either way, it is something that I factor-in.

Wahlao,
Take Galaxy Note 8 as example.
It has 3300mAh battery.

https://phandroid.com/2017/09/22/galaxy-not...charging-times/

It took 1:47 to fully charge.

If calculate relatively based on 4000 mAh, it needs 2:09 hour.

Half hour extra also cannot wait?

But of cause fast charge work faster from 0% to 50% and it started to slow down.

anyone have a minor problem on the whatsapp?
when receive incoming message the whatsapp won't show the
notification number right to the apps.

eg if one message usually there will be pop up 1 next to the apps
but this time no more hmm.gif

i already turn on all notification in the whatsapp setting but still cant get it to work.
*
The MIUI launcher behave that way.
It read the top notification bar and show the [number] on the icon.

If you cleared the notification in the notification bar, the number on the icon will vanished.

Personally, I don't like this. I used to use NOVA launcher with Tesla Unread, the number beside the icon is exactly how many unread messaged regardless of I clear the notification or not.

But now I using MIUI launcher coz the icon animation is so nice! Hehe...

Does it multitask well? As in running a few heavy games,  waze/Google map, Apple music, Reddit, browser without any lag while switching and reloading

That's my only concern with 636
*
I don't play games.
4GB RAM is kinda enough for me.
Can always switch apps back and forth even with many loaded pages in Chrome.

No lags, smooth.

636 is a powerful processor. The performance is very near to 660.
Don't let the number fool you.

Just updated MIUI 10.0.1

Too bad they took away many icon animation like FB, Whatsapp, Messenger and etc...

The full screen gesture still have skip frame. I don't use it anyway.

Overall, what I fell "improve" is only the face unlock is no longer regional setting. The rest is like... meh~
