Chris here back with the Mi 6x so I've had a huge amount of comments on the
unboxing video a lot of people asking about these two mobiles in particular so
the redmi note 5 which is still probably my favorite budget phone against this
one now I probably will actually do a full comparison but a lot of people have
been asking me things like better life camera performance which one should they
get so I'll try and cover that now because I have been using this phone now
for the last 12 hours or so well actually know a day that I've been using
it so I can I can give you a bit of an update on that we've done my battery
test the same kind of test so just to point out this is the redmi note 5 and i
can get with continual use mostly wireless around 9 hours of on-screen
time so this is really good it's got a four thousand milliamp hour battery this
one here is a 3030 milliamp hour battery so it's a lot less so what does that
translate into so let's take a look now at the battery life I'm currently at 10%
and I'll just quickly show you what my battery use is and its if it's cause
it's worse everyone knows the answer it's gonna be less yeah but how bad is
it gonna be so here we go battery use okay so you can see I've done a lot of
gaming and I have used Chrome quite a bit for some reason some of the apps are
not showing up in here actually used YouTube for about an hour but I don't
know why it's not there so here we go screen on time so look at that almost
seven hours right there so you're losing two hours really so what does that
translate it into real world use so this here the redmi note 5 is a definite two
day battery life phone this one is a one and a half day could possibly make two
days depending on your use so that for some people is gonna be a bit of a
deal-breaker that's a major better life is very important of course in a mobile
phone so it's a real shame that Xiaomi have done that now that camera bump on
that there's the biggest camera bump that I have ever seen on a mobile phone
it is humongous because it sticks out almost two millimeters I did show this
in the unboxing video but what really sets it apart is when you set it down on
a table look at this look how it sits it's horrible it just it it rocks around
there it doesn't sit well at all when you look at something even like okay the
roomie note 5s got a small little bump of about one millimeter
not so bad there but it takes a while to get over that but apart from that the
build quality is fantastic with the unibody really good call quality is good
now many things with this phone are exactly the same as the redmi note 5 so
the loudspeaker both of them sound identical to me microphone quality audio
quality is another thing in the video I showed you the video samples taken on
this that it's okay I would say better almost better the sound it doesn't have
so much high-pitched frequencies coming through and microphones on the audio and
that's a good thing too now the cameras has one thing a lot of people asking
about which one takes better low-light low-light photos and that's pretty
obvious to me it's this one the photos I'm gonna have some samples coming up
really soon a camera comparison between the rupee note 5 and the 6x here low
light went out definitely the phone it's so much better it's I'd say 5 or 10
times better at low light this mobile so if low light is important to you
photography go for this one here if you don't mind losing out on the 2 hours of
battery life the 3.5 million phone jack of course is missing it's not on here
and we do have a type C port which is great and the other thing to point out
that it feels really fast but to me it feels about the same speed wise in me
uy9 as the redmi note 5 here i can't really distinguish and see any
difference between them d + 2 - scores on both of these they are very similar
and it you can gauge that they've got almost the same kind of performance
we're not the same there is there is a bit of a difference but it's not a
massive massive difference like going from say the snapdragon is 625 to a 660
yes you will see a huge step up and performance then but really there's not
much in it i only have a good at - and - two scores now that synthetic benchmarks
but real world use as well even gaming gaming it it feels pretty much identical
to me so overall it is looking like a good phone there's just that annoying
thing with the fact that it's got no 3.5 and a headphone jack there's no micro SD
card support that's another question that kept popping up time and time again
about 10 people asked me you sure you can't fit one in yes you can even the
instructions in the box it says 2 nano Sims
that's it okay only two nano Sims if you try and put a microSD card in here it
will get stuck or jammed or whatever you know it's not gonna work just accept it
this has no micro SD card support and you're either going to be fine with that
or you're not so that's really it so as I mentioned yeah the low-light
photography I did take quite a few samples is just so much better but as I
mention I'm gonna have a comparison coming up and it's done a good job I
feel for the price of the spine of around what is it two hundred and eighty
us three hundred US or so for this model because got the six gigabytes of RAM and
that's all coming up so there we go battery life approximately seven hours
and this has about nine hours it's a lot cheaper we've got an FM tuner on here
micro SD card support and the only real kind for me is the micro USB port on the
bottom of this and said a Type C I wish I had type C but otherwise this is a
fantastic phone still it's just that it won't win below light photography so
there you go hands on it's looking very promising for the 6x I do like it it's
just still trying to get over that camera bump and the like a battery life
yeah well it's just what it is I wish she'll meet with do the wise
thing and combine the best features of both of these phones I think they can do
it I'd be happy with a Snapdragon 6:36 type C port unibody build those cameras
with this design here they can do it why they haven't done it I don't know so I
hope to catch you back with the full review keep an eye out subscribe to the
channel for my up and coming videos I'm gonna have all system gaming on the
black shark and I'm working towards the full review of that model this model
here and of course the Mi Gaming Laptop that's also coming thanks a lot for
watching bye for now
