The Chinese manufacturer's Redmi and Redmi Note series have been really popular, so much so that the Redmi Note 4 (Review) recently became India's best selling smartphone. It also helped Xiaomi become the number one smartphone seller in India, beating Samsung and other rivals.

Best budget phone.

Amit Kumar (Oct 8, 2018) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

Pros- 1.) FHD+ Display with less bezels. 2.) Battery life is very good. 3.) Front Camera is awesome with potrait mode. 4.) Face Recognition and Fingerprint Scanner. Cons:- 1.) Hybrid Sim-Slot (SIM1 + SIM2/SD Card) 2.) Rear Camera is average. I'm using this device since July and fully satisfied with Redmi Note 5. The only problem I faced is Rear Camera suffers in low-light conditions. Rest is fine. So I recommend people to buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 5.

Aweful and Worthless!

Azim Shaikh (Jun 19, 2018) on Gadgets 360

Now, this is something very disappointing and frustrating, my brand new device #RedmiNote5 has left me! It was on the table and now only the white light blinks after I press the Power button. Tried long pressing the power button, no luck, I also tried pressing the Power button + the Volume up button for more than 60 seconds, still the same. -->Seems It's DEAD! Will check for replacement if Possible.
