A bit disappointed to hear that it is more than 1.2K
Like you say, if I want to spend so much - might as well go for Nokia 7+. Otherwise, I will just stick to 4GB.

But how this phone Redmi Note 5 Pro compare to A1 ah? I really like a USB-C le!

I agreed that Nokia 7+ is pricy and certainly above my budget of RM1000.
Aiyo, I hate to wait for A1 2018 because till then, so many other new phone to compare again. Never ending compare and never ending wait le!

My initial plan is to get a budget phone and use for 1.5 years, before settling on P20 Pro. I couldn't get myself to spend so much 3K eh! But I really want a high-end camera phone. I owned Lumia 1020 on the first day, now 950XL. In between, uses Redmi 3C or 3S something. Don't exactly remember. Photo quality is drastically different. I'm kinda afraid that I couldn't get used to RN5P, either.

Add:
Maybe I just don't care and jumped with P20 without Pro. Lol.

Fake? It is a strong word.
I am confuse. IMO, the dual camera has true specs and how it could be fake? Just that its dual camera just naturally wow people first without understanding the true nature of the mechanics behind. I wouldn't quote fake, but I would say the perception and hype is overrated.

I merely glancing through the news. I am neither fanboys and not really Mobile Followers. I'd been reading everyday here because I'm thinking to get RN5 once it debut next week.

Same here. My opinion.
My brother in law owned a budget laptop from ASUS. The color on the palmrest came off, barely a year. It was either due to my brother in law's issue with his sweat or the laptop's so called built.

Aiyo.. What time is the Product Launching ah? I couldn't wait to receive the official news.

Pre-Order @Lazada already show all RM999 Options out of stock. That's fast. I was contemplating whether to spend on much cheaper model like A1 during Lazada Sale, or even discounted 7X. Then wait here and there, think here and there. Bump, Soya Cincau released their Best RM1,200 Budget Phone and not surprisingly, they nominate Redmi Note 5 as their best rounded Budget Phone for 2018. LOL. We are hardly half way through 2018. Haha.

Anyway, that just put me back on track to get Note 5. Yet, all ran out. Oh well, I will just wait again.

Thanks.
Will see how. I think I will wait out a little bit longer.

RN5i? Redmi Note 5 with i?
What is the i means?

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

Oh. That's interesting to know.
My current Type-C is capable for fast charging and I grew to love it, especially my dated phone's battery is dying. Lol.

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.
