I'd have gone with the Redmi Note 4X over the Redmi 5 for that SD625. I would manage the "not so sleek" form factor. Also i can't use a 720P device or HD+ as they call them. The camera of the Redmi 5 is also poorer than Note 4X, shocking i know . Hopefully it is fully optimised as some people claim Note 4X camera is bad coz Xiaomi did one thing one thing

Honestly can't believe the prices of some Xiaomi devices.

Bros, dat time? I don't have it

Howfa about the battery?

Battery is really good. haven't monitored SOT yet tho, but I barely charge

After 6 days with my Redmi 5, I still can't believe I once considered it an option to the Camon cx. After comparing side by side, I discovered It's miles ahead abeg, lighter, sleeker, 720p even looking better dan 1080p, etc.. And for those complaining about camera, just chill, d photos are very good.. just dat d camera isn't very saturated like tecno n co which isn't a bad thing, so if you want "better" looking photos, just hit "edit", "saturation" and increase a bit.. you'll be amazed.

thanks, I've tried two options there. first I set to WCDMA on preferred networks as in d 2nd photo below, dat didn't do anything.
D only thing working so far is manually searching for networks n picking 3g as in d 1st photo. but after a while it goes back to 2g n stays dere until I repeat d process. I even waited an hour to see if it'll return to 3g but no luck.

Solved this by dialing *#*#4636#*#* n toggling to WCDMA only. thanks

navigate to settings click on the sim settings then go to data sim and select 3g only

Hello house, please how do I keep my Redmi 5 on 3g constantly.. it keeps reverting to 2g after a while. it's not a matter of coverage as I've confirmed it on another phone

Flexing my Redmi 5, all thanks to the super legit Mr Noobody. Took just 16days to land. Thanks boss.

lol..OP is obviously teasing the Camon CM. let's just enjoy the joke and stop attacking him.. btw, OP, it's 'camon' not 'canom'.

Thanks a lot. I just made my choice, and I believe you know what it is.

Good day folks, pls I want to buy a new phone and I'm contemplating between the Camon CX and d new Redmi 5. For me, Redmi 5 is ahead in so many ways except 4g band 28(glo is fast in my area, but tnx to my smile router I can live without B28) n possibly camera. Pls I'll need feedback abt xiaomi cameras possibly d R4, RN4 etc(compared to Camon CX if possible), so I can at least know what to expect from R5. Thanks.
