“The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is great value for money. The device has excellent performance for its price while delivering a bright display among other highlights.”

“A big screen and a low price are paired with decent battery life, usable performance and an enhanced dual-camera in the Redmi Note 5. There are some drawbacks, such as the old Micro-USB port, lack of Quick Charge support and partly plastic build, but in other respects budget phones don't come much better than this.”

“Not a significant upgrade to the Redmi Note 4 yet is a well-rounded package that is absolutely recommended for anyone looking for a budget smartphone. It performs great and is a compelling value-for-money proposition.”

“The Redmi Note 5 has some big shoes to fill, and it does where it can, mostly because it keeps (intact) all the things that made the Redmi Note 4 so (very) likeable, and tries to add a modern twist to it, courtesy its near bezel-less design.”
