So due to the response I got from my unboxing video of the xiaomi redmi 5 plus which
I have in my hand I thought it would follow this up so this is now 24 hours
after later using this phone and what my thoughts are on answer so far I must say
it's looking very positive here the screen is nice for a 230 USD phone as I
pointed out in the unboxing video that it's not perfect you have a look at the
color shift that we get well it's not actually really color shift only on the
single color so if you look at white you will see a bit of a like it changes to
almost like a blue tint but what it is really is just dimming so the viewing
angles aren't the greatest on this phone and no there is no screen protector on
it someone said remove the screen protector but I don't have one on there
so it's a bit hard to do that so when you have a look at a premium display
that it's in the 1 + 5 t that I have here on the left you can see that it's
like day and night here when you move it you can see that the viewing angles see
how that darkens at dims and that doesn't happen on the screen
here because this is another screen Tech this is using optical AMOLED technology
this panel and this is IPS and that's difference you get there and of course
face on the 5 plus is looking very decent now of course there's a huge
difference in the price because this is 230 u.s. and then that's 500 so not a
fair comparison but when you do compare it to a premium screen you really do
notice that difference and it stands out quite a lot so the phone I feel so far
that the cameras they take a decent a photo again for the price I mean it's
not wonderful is not perfect especially in low light but you can get a decent
image out of that rear camera which is good to see that Xiaomi went with just a
single camera and a decent one and not adding that gimmicky dual camera on the
back now I've had a lot of people bashing on me or in the comments saying
you know that's not fair for you to say that the build of this having plastic
top and bottom is wrong that it's disappointing
it's a redmi phone but you need to take into consideration is the price now this
as already mentioned now probably the fourth time it's about 230 us for that
230 s us if you have a look at Chung other phones this is my me max - you get
a full unibody build for the same price and the me 5x so that's why I said it
was disappointing so we do have antenna lines on this one but it's a lot more
solid and just feel so much better in hand to have the unibody because you
notice on the back of the redmi 5 plus there's a slight difference in the
texture the tone of the black - going from the course the metal finish on the
back here then to the plastic now it doesn't feel cheap or tacky the build
quality is good and for that same price will similar prices both of these phones
here you have a type C port on this and then you have an earpiece that can also
act as a secondary loudspeaker so those three things I feel should have been
incorporated into this one right here the readme 5 plus that's why I said it's
a little bit of a step backwards when you compare it to other phones so I know
it's only a readme phone so that's probably what they didn't do that other
questions in the comments quick charge support sadly no they have it disabled
the snapdragon 6 to 5 supports quick charge but as you see i'll plug in now a
quick charge 3 charger that I have this is a Qualcomm certified one it will not
charge it at quick charge 3 rates so that you can see so that is yes a little
disappointing I feel they could have had that enabled maybe it had something to
do with them having to pay Qualcomm to use that charge or a charger that
supports it so that's why you only get the 5 volt 2 amp charger in there but
overall it's looking very solid the phone the wrong performance is good but
I do have a couple of bugs to report on at least on my unit so far all reading
in my testing that have come up now one of them is the GPS performance
now most mobile phones they don't have to be flagships they will get an
accuracy you can see up here is 18 that is very poor now it was down to around
10 and 8 and 12 and 14 but walking around the accuracy of GPS at the moment
is very poor it should be three to four meters not 18 with other
funds that I have it's gonna be about four or five even other cheaper ones so
there's a problem with the GPS on my unit I feel at the moment shall we need
to patch this and fix this another slight issue that I have is it takes a
very long time for me to get on to the five gigahertz band of Internet that I
have here the wireless and I did notice too that wireless analyzer doesn't show
up many networks and it does take a very long time to show them they should
actually be a whole range of networks here because I'm in town so there's
something up with the five gigahertz band of wireless it's quite slow not
stichting networks and in the GPS so those are two things that have cropped
up already so we'll see what happens hopefully that would be patched but if
not if there's any changes I'll report that in my full review of this including
charge times battery life gaming performance everything like that it is
so far looking like a solid phone but I feel for its current price you're
probably better to get the redmi 4x which i think has a better screen
because it doesn't tend to suffer as much with those viewing angles on there
but of course it's just all my own personal opinion here having tested out
those phones there thanks a lot for watching this quick little 24 hour later
follow-up video hope to catch you back with the full final review of this
mobile here and of course if you are interested I will be covering the 1 + 5
T which is so far a really good phone absolutely loving it
the only thing that really disappoints on this phone would be the cameras in
low-light performance isn't really that great and up to other flagships but for
everything else loving that phone oh and DHL just
dropped off a new phone - for me to review and this is another one of those
Chinese ones it's the Alpha X from Mays and they haven't gone with a fake dual
camera set up on the rear which is good to see so I have a look at the bezels on
it and see if they're like the press images or not and check it out and see
if it's an okay phone but it looks like it might be halli o P 25 6 gigabytes of
Ram 64 gigabytes of storage could be decent so keep an eye out for that one -
thank you so much for watching this video
