me iska wait kar raha tha par aap logo ke comment dekhne ke baad infinix hot s3 order kar diya, kya mene sahi kiya?
W. Hasan
Bilkul sahi kiya aapne. Redmi 5 me hybrid slot to nahi hona tha, yafir battery 4000 mAh hona chahiye tha, yafir base model 7499 ka hona chahiye tha, yafir SBI offer na dekar sare models 500 saste hone chahiye the.

thanks

The backside of this phone is little bit flatter than the ugly curvy back design of redmi note 5, definitely it looks better than the redmi note 5, only thing is its hybrid sim, other than its good, people comparing with infinix hot s3 is a joke, at least redmi phones have better re-sale value.
W. Hasan
I bought infinix note 4 7months earlier at 8150 during instant cashback offer and sold few days back (5,6 days back) at 7800. And believe me except the sound quality in earphones I loved every aspect of the phone even more tha redmi note 4. I’m not a gamer but I’m a multi tasker and obviously multi tasking was pleasure on infinix note 4. Right now I’m commenting from my secondary phone which is redmi note 4. So how’s the resale value of infinix?

If you have SBI Credit Card than definitely go for 32gb model which will cost 8549 only after 5% instant discount. Those people who are complaining are Oppo Vivo Gionee users which have wasted their money in so called selfie expert moonlight selfie selfistan etc etc. I know Xiaomi since 2014 as I bought reddmi1s in 2014. Used it for 2 years and somebody at night snatched it from my hands while I was walking.
Ajay
Ha ha ha…olx is full of these moonlights and sunlights.😂
W. Hasan
People who are complaining are not only Oppo and Vivo customers many of them are MI fans. Actually SBI offer given by Xiaomi is not good. Instead of giving SBI cashback offer should have priced 500 less since everyone doesn’t have the SBI credit card.

I think its a good package, do mind that this snap 450 is a 14nm chipset that is 25% more battery efficient than the older 430 which was a 28 nm chipset .. so at the end Redmi 5 will also give the same backup as the redmi 4 . Price is justified as redmi 5 sports a bigger 18:9 display and has a better chipset than the older generation Redmi 4. The only thing that bugs me is the hybrid sim slots , i own a redmi 4 and thats the only thing that i hate most.
Technical Student
For me hybrid slot makes no difference as I use 2 phones with separate Sims at same time.

SD 450 ke saath 10400 mah ki battery de deta to compact power house banjata.
wese to hybrid sim slot ki baat hum sambhal lenge.
5 days battery backup deta to compact power house hota.
fastest charge 4.0 de dena chahiye tha.
8000 rupiya main kon 2GB wala kharidega.
Facebook app to 500mb ram kha jata hai , what’s app to 347mb ram khata hai.. bacha kya tatti..
Dilmeet Singh
10400 battery, 5 day backup, fastest charge tech, etc. Hope you are in your senses.
I agree 2 GB RAM and asking 8k is lame plus shows Xiaomi now has taken our market for granted but use some decent language to post your opinion.
W. Hasan
Hahaha 2gb ram to sahi me tatti hogaya hai ab.

mi website showing book priority access even without logging in for redmi note 5 pro at 11 pm today. i was able to book and complete payment . i called my friend who could also book at 11;30 pm. how could it became so simple
Dilmeet Singh
Wow, SD450 and under 10k launch is completely ignored. Sticking to a hybrid slot is a downer though.
Dandotiya
Xiaomi roaring from many days we launching”compact power house”….. What a power house only 3300mah…..Ha ha ha,well done xiaomi…..shabash
W. Hasan
Well said a hutyapa of compact power house has come. Shameless people didn’t even hesitate to say compact power house for 3300mAh battery. Infinix is going to be the next no. 1 in India. Compare this redmi 5 with Infinix hot s3. Arre sd 450 lekar kaddu kaatna hai kya? Only plus point of redmi 5 is sd 450.
Technical Student
Guys this phone has latest Snapdragon 450 Octacore processor made on 14 nano meter technology. This is almost equal to 625. This processor is very power efficient and will consume less battery. 32 gb variant is the best option to buy.
W. Hasan
Yes, but 32gb is not enough, hybrid slot is a deal breaker for many. And 3300mAh battery is very less for huge display compared to redmi 4’s 4100mAh.
Dilmeet Singh
People are only ranting about reduced battery life. Glad to see your comment which has sense.
W. Hasan
Pyar andha hota hai. Don’t love a brand. Nobody said it’s a great launch by Xiaomi. Highly priced, trimmed down specs.
Dilmeet Singh
Troll somewhere else please. My comment doesn’t show love for any brand.
W. Hasan
I’m not trolling you just putting the fact in front of you. Battery has been reduced is the well known fact. How can you deny it? You said people are ranting about the reduced battery size which is true and people are really disappointed to have a lesser battery on a bigger display. Think why people should not criticize the battery? They should.

When they already have good portfolio what was the need to release this one?

Gogi… I personally feel that it is an utter nonsense back design from Xiaomi. Still using plastic top and bottom?
The same back design has made Redmi Note 5 Pro look like a crap design, inspite of superior specs.
And same again with Redmi 5… Come on Xiaomi…
I personally feel Xiaomi should have gone with Mi A1’s back design implementation for all the three new smartphones namely RN5, RN5 Pro and Redmi 5, which feels and looks better and more premium and very close to metal unibody design.

Much better options already exist…
Lenovo k8 plus, honor….
Ab kuchh naya ni aane wala diwali se pehle… Xiaomi k side se… Better is to avoid these yet…
Technical Student
Still everybody will go for Xioami due to it’s great processor. Xiaomi uses Snapdragon which is the best.
Mah
Moto G6 will dominate Xiomi Redmi 5

SD 450 is almost 90 percent same as SD 625 in performance and larger 5.7 inch screen is great. the base 2GB Ram will become laggy after updating to newer ROM.
Technical Student
Both are of 14 nm technology.
W. Hasan
For the first time almost everyone is criticizing Xiaomi and its pricing. I had mentioned earlier that 6999 would be great and 7499 will be okay but they made it 7999. But even then didn’t give 4000 battery and dedicated micro sd slot…!!!
amit
Yeh kya launch kar diya bhai 😐
Sad day for Xiaomi, acchhe din for Honor 🙂
