Just played with this phone today. Yes screen is washed out. But then not surprising la. Cheap phone with above average specs, sure cut corners here and there la.

Should be a lower quality screen

Thinking of getting this as 2nd phone. Just now tried at shop. The camera is so so slow.

Anyone feeling the same? It takes 1-2 seconds to open camera app then take picture takes another 1-2 seconds.

Yea I checked everywhere online. Lowest also 900.

So decided try luck at shop, surprisingly even cheaper. And that's their last unit, cuz hot selling phone.

For me, its the worst case i ever used. So freaking loose. And it tends to be sticky especially if u have sweaty palms.

Been using this rn5 for a few weeks already and this phone has really really surprised me as to how good it is. For 850 bucks for the 4gb/64gb version, it has been fast and smooth so far.

I cant believe this fone retails at less than 1k.

The camera is very very decent in all shooting conditions. Its not the best, but its good and it is definately better than xiaomis of the past.

I play games but mostly light games like Clash Royale and they run smooth as hell.

The built quality is also amazing for this price range.

And also the speaker is loud and its definately more than enough.

Overall, this is really an awesome phone for its price . I dont think the Asus M1P can come close to it.

For those who have a slow camera problem, i think i found a fix....just do a factory reset...reset your phone again...i never done mine from the day i bought my phone after ive done factory reset seems like the camera become better faster...

This is just a temporary fix. Once u fill ur fone up with things, it will be slow again.

My camera launch was fine when it was new. Now its slow. Sometimes take 2-3 sec to launch.

Weird, when i do speed test on iphone 7 and s9 plus on the same wifi i get around 100mbps

However on my rn5 i am getting only 30mbps on the same wifi.

Is the rn5 inferior in terms of the hardware?

I tried a few times and the results are the same.

My auto-rotate seems slow.  When I rotate the phone, the display rotates about 1 second later.  Is this normal?

Very normal for android. No way can be as smooth as iphones

I have compared RN5 camera with Asus M1.

Totally no fight at all

Rn5 camera is just awesome for its price.

Besides, i am not having any issues with GPS.

Sometimes, its just Waze problem. Waze having alot of issues recently. Cant connect

I am on Maxis btw. If you are on Umobile pls dont complain about the GPS cuz UM line sucks

I am using rn5 4/64gb and yes can feel its getting laggier by the day.

Initially it was all smooth and nice. I love the miui, the camera takes good pictures.

Nowadays,

Sometimes camera takes 2 seconds to open. And to take a photo takes a few seconds. Huge delay btw pressing button and phone taking picture.

Sometimes while opening the camera, it will crash for no reason.

Yes, mine is malaysia set. And its been only a few months using it.

So yea, no such thing as cheap n good.

I'm using this rn5 4/64gb since May 10th and I don't have your issues. Still as smooth as day 1.

Maybe a factory reset will help. If still the same, maybe your device has some hardware problem.
*
Nope. Definately no hardware issues. Xiaomi phones mmg like this.

U slowly wait. Sure ur phone the same when u start filling it up.

Did you update to the latest MIUI version?

I didn't update since day one, still on stock version and so far no issues.

Mine is 3gb ram version.
I think rn5 is the most value for money you can get for sub 1k phone.

My suggestion is don't update the MIUI first, try using the stock version and if there are no issues, don't update.

What I observe is updates will usually cause more issues.
*
Yes updated. But the issues started b4 i updated.

Anyway will see how it goes. It does not happen all the while but every now and then, the camera will suddenly hang n crash

Doesn't android in general suffer this issue?

Does Samsung phones still face slowdown after months/a year of usage?

My previous Huawei Mate 8 was a dream. Never had any issues besides a change of battery. One of the best phones i ever used.

Using s9plus and rn5 now. So far s9plus no lag issues.
