Honestly
A surprise. This phone shouldn't produce photos that rival those from high-end handsets
But it does. Perhaps images aren't quite as sharp as those from the iPhone 6S or Samsung Galaxy S7
But they're damn close

I don't like the fact that Xiaomi
And other phone makers
Are moving to USB-C. Cables for this standard aren't that common yet
Which means you're going to have to buy new ones. In addition to that
It's not unheard of for cheap USB-C cables to blow phon
No waterproofing
No NFC
Low-resolution display
Dated Android version
720p display resolution
There's no microSD card slot like the Samsung Galaxy S7

The Redmi 5 is proof that Xiaomi has raised the standards for its budget phones. It ticks all the right boxes, offers great value for money, but it's just the 18:9 display and Snapdragon 450 that excites us. Sure, having a repetitive design and an older v...

The Redmi 5 offers an impressive 18:9 screen along with decent internal tech for a bargain price, but it's not officially available in the UK, so be prepared for some extra effort to get it running as expected...

Abstract: Xiaomi Redmi 5 – the company's new phablet in the budget segment. The Xiaomi Company has been pleased for its fans with rather cheap and functional smartphones for several years already. These gadgets, although produced in China, are highly reliable, and...

MIUI takes some getting used to, Limited 4G support in the UK
Xiaomi is one of those firms which consistently manages to surprise us with its products. The Mi4 was a gorgeous powerhouse that left the Nexus 5 in its wake, while the Redmi Note 2 offered a phablet experience at a bargain basement cost. The more recent...

The one-word review for this phone is "impressive". That's the word I keep coming back to. The Xiaomi Mi5 is impressively designed, impressive in its battery life, and genuinely impressive in terms of power and performance.It's reasonably easy to build a...

Why would someone spend five years retranslating all of Final Fantasy 7? Beacause.Teething troubles with the phone's Chinese software and lack of 4G access on certain UK networks aside, the Xiaomi Mi5 barely puts a foot wrong. From its impeccable screen t...

Have to import it, Camera struggles in low light, Skin is nothing like Android 6.0
Xiaomi Mi 5 – Camera Like much of the Xiaomi Mi 5, the camera outshines what you'd expect at this price. On the rear of the handset you'll find a 16-megapixel Sony IMX298 sensor, coated in sapphire glass and packing optical image stabilisation. In terms o...
A fantastic Android flagship that comes in at an outrageously low price, the Xiaomi Mi 5 has the braun and the beauty to match the greats. Perhaps not a wise choice for first time Android users, but those comfortable in customising the setup will love the...
