Xiaomi Redmi Note 5

Advantages: Autonomy, the screen and its brightness, the camera main and front, loudspeaker, price / quality ratio, nishtyaki miui in terms of convenience (although outwardly naked androyd, ios like more)

Disadvantages: Glitches in the camera application. Applications on miui basically do not work as stably as on a pure android (but there is a functionality which is not on a bare android, the screen can be set as you like, screen reduction, double tap on the screen), the sound through aux is quiet on ai a1 and redmi 5 plus much louder.

Comment: I use after iPhones (there were 3gs, 4s, 5c, 5s, 6,7, se) I used to like iPhones for application stability, 5 years ago Yandex navigator, VKontakte and TD worked much worse on Android, so I used htc one a little, and went back to the trimmed functionality and the wretched keyboard on the iPhone (gboard on ios is the same as 4 years ago so poorly). Somewhere a year ago I accidentally fell into the hands of Mi a1 and I fell in love, in the first place, applications began to work in my opinion better than on ios (I use a tablet like ipad 2017), as the price works and canceled, although not without jambs. Then I bought a redmi 5 plus because of the battery and the 18: 9 screen. Then he lost it and bought note 5. The camera on note 5 is much better than on a1 and 5 plus, much better. And if you decide to play a hard game, then note 5 will also be better to pull than 5 plus, but it's clear to the ideal is still far away. Furious that the camera application is buggy, and this all can not be corrected (although when the camera takes such pictures for such money, you can be patient). At the moment, the phone is amazing for the money. I advise to purchase.

Advantages: Excellent phone in all respects. Huge, bright outstanding display. Convenient size, despite the large diagonal of 6 inches due to the aspect ratio it is convenient to hold and use. Bright enough in pitch darkness and in the open sun. Excellent cameras allow you to take good pictures even in the dark. There is a rather rare IR port in our time and a standard application - it is easy to configure and manage all the equipment with a single phone. In addition, a lot of ways to unlock: fingerprinting, face, using wearable devices. Everything works quickly and clearly even in the dark.The ability to shoot 4k video through Google camera, then right on the phone in the Google photo app you can stabilize it. At other resolutions, stabilization works by default. A lot of system settings, cameras, the system does not lag does not slow down, everything flies. Super performance enough in any games at maximum speed, not heated, very good autonomy. The most important thing is the autonomy for two days of normal use, I thought that very few people would exceed 4x in autonomy but no 636 dragon was even more effective. And most importantly, the price for 10k rubles you can buy a phone in no way inferior to the iphone x, and in some ways even much superior!

Disadvantages: To invent flaws you have to try a lot, let me think: there may be an inconvenient and confusing built-in shell settings menu compared to the standard android, but there’s a lot more settings and functionality and this is perhaps forgivable. What else, but no NFC, but I don’t use it like 95% of people, although I agree that this is a minus. Many people don’t like that there is an “outdated” microUSB type, but how old it is if it is everywhere and you can buy it everywhere, and most importantly it is much more reliable and durable than the multi-wire, multi-contact type-c. So for me it is even a plus. And utah Ersk obzorschiki curse on plastic inserts - this is generally nonsense, if they were not told that they are plastic, they didn’t even guess wi-fi and bluetooth. Oh, I almost forgot, the most minus is the vibration feedback - I immediately turned it off.

Comment: Before that, there was an Iphone X, was constantly in a state of attachment to sockets, charging was enough for 8-12 hours, I constantly went with a power bank. What a pleasure now to feel free and not to think constantly where to recharge. Open architecture: threw music from any computer as on a flash drive, threw pictures into the archive. And most importantly, a bunch of great programs and games, including free ones. After him, no desire to return to the stub there!

Advantages: The camera in portrait mode is great! Some pictures are comparable in quality with the average SLR.
The screen is excellent, the protective glass is durable: for three months of use, no scratches or damage, although I sometimes use it not very carefully
Productivity is high, 115 thousand points in an antitude, everything is enough.
There is also a lot of memory, even removed the card to please two SIM cards.
Autonomy is titanic! 4 days 11 hours of battery life - absolutely real figure! (see screen), while the screen time is more than 6 hours

Disadvantages: At first it was inconvenient without the touch keys under the screen, but now the opposite is uncomfortable to pick up the phone with them. Managing gestures is convenient and clear, you get used instantly.
MIUI - the system is in many ways cool and convenient, but it also has its drawbacks. Some can be fixed with NOVA or another launcher.
Bluetooth does not work with all my devices: the speaker and remote for the camera could not be connected at all, smart scales could be connected only the second time.

Comment: For 2018, this is the most interesting smartphone in terms of price / quality ratio. Among competitors, something similar is 1.5-2 times cheaper, and then with nuances. As always with Xiaomi

Advantages: - Great Screen. The picture is bright, good viewing angles, high resolution;
- tenacious battery. Two days without charge rate with average use;
- Probably the best main camera for the money (took for 12 tr.);
- There is an unlock on the face. Works fast;
- It is possible to control the smartphone without buttons;
- Good stuffing;
- Fingerprint scanner.

Disadvantages: - Dimensions and weight. At first, it is not convenient;
- The possibility of contactless payment is not implemented (there is no NFC module), which is not critical for me.

Comment: As a dialer, the device works well (the network catches without problems, the interlocutor is audible).OS MIUI can be ranked as a disadvantage and advantage. I like it

Advantages: screen, performance, sound, camera, glitch

Disadvantages: A pack of pre-installed programs that do not disable or cut down on rights that want something from me, the MI desktop is not particularly convenient, you can’t properly set it up using standard tools

Comment: last summer I took about the same price HONOR 5C (my worst smartphone of all), I was very disappointed in the huavei, I didn’t really expect this, but surprisingly everything was just perfect. Multitasking is in place; now, after folding the under-rolled VC tape, it is not necessary to flip through it from the very top. All functions work and are not buggy, finally I have a black list with regular tools. Yelling like an adult. The screen is about the same as on the Honor, only larger. The camera in portrait mode with the help of an auxiliary is quite convincingly washing the background, it looks very bad. I charge the battery now not every night, but once in three days. It’s a pity that they just imposed their desktop, the regular android is much more familiar to me, and a pack of native software always wants something from me and doesn’t turn off

Advantages: good machine!
everything !
especially work time!

Disadvantages: MIUI

Comment: He took as an option for an urgent replacement (his phone. Suddenly, in the middle of the working day! Turned into a brick - 4 years of hard use)
so this - on one charge easily withstands two days of work in a very stressful mode - calls, messengers, Internet, photo, sms ......... 12 hours of work time!
ZerGud !!!

Advantages: The camera shoots like a professional camera, the display size is very convenient, the "infinite screen" function allows you to hide all navigation buttons, the facial recognizes even the poor lighting and wearing glasses.

Disadvantages: 1. Quiet sound. In headphones, the maximum volume is about 60% from other xiaomi models (in particular from xiaomi redmi 4x)
2. Not enough RAM. When you open the music and camera, a black screen often appears, you have to repeatedly press the unlock. When the camera switches to the "portrait" mode, there is a frequent freeze for 5-10 seconds. Flies out of apps with music.

Comment: In general, only positive impressions of the smartphone, the hang creates a slight discomfort and only. I don’t know specifically my problems or all of them, but my friend has redmi note 5 4/64, he also hangs when the camera starts
