However, Xiaomi did not just stop there with the Redmi Note interesting feature of this phone’s camera is the automatic low-light image enhancement mode. When active, this feature ensures that all the pictures captured in low light offer the best possible uses a combination of software enhancements to spruce up the quality of images captured under low light, which otherwise turn out to be dull and mode works for both the rear as well as the front camera.

It’s been several weeks since the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro were made official. Like any other new phone, they aren’t short of niggly problems here and there, but some of them are things you can work out quite easily with a little help. In this post, we have put together some of the common Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro problems and possible solutions. In case the problem you are facing with the Redmi Note 5 or Redmi Note 5 Pro is not mentioned here, do let us know via the comments section below. We would try our best to get you a solution to that, but you may have to wait for Xiaomi to roll out a software update for that. Also, while we are confident that the solutions given here would fix the respective problem for you, just in case it doesn’t work, do let us know. OEM Unlock option missing Some Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro users who are after unlocking their phone’s bootloader are reporting a case where the OEM unlock option is missing in the Settings > Developer options. Well, if your Note 5 or Note 5 Pro is missing this option, you might never get to unlock your phone’s bootloader. Account binding isn’t working Some Redmi Note 5 users are reporting a case where they are unable to unlock the phone’s bootloader because account binding isn’t working. This has been reported on the Global Developer ROM, where the process returns an error whenever one tries to bind the device in Mi Unlock Status. Since it’s only Xiaomi that can permit their device to be unlocked, you may be forced to apply for unlocking permission from the company, which will arrive in form of an SMS after a day or two. Once you get the permission, go to this XDA thread for more instructions on how to proceed with binding your account on Redmi Note 5 and eventually unlock your phone’s bootloader. Network connectivity issues There are some Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro users experiencing issues with network connectivity. Even though both phones support 4G LTE connectivity, some users on India’s Jio and Vodafone networks have been experiencing spotty connectivity after some days of using the phones. Since connectivity was great at first, it’s possible this could be as a result of the previous update to MIUI Since there’s a new update rolling out, be sure to grab it for it may be the cure for your connectivity issues. Some users have also reported that rebooting the device should work miracles, but of course, this won’t solve everyone’s problems. If connectivity issues persist, you may want to go back to the software version that worked perfectly or simply learn to live with it until Xiaomi rolls out an update to fix the issues. While laying the blame on Xiaomi is the easy option, it’s also possible that the issue could be the carriers in question. Even so, fixes should be out sooner than later. Dual 4G connectivity not working Both the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro have dual-SIM slots that support 4G LTE connectivity. However, some owners of these phones have reported cases where only one SIM card connects to 4G and the other connects to 3G. Well, there’s nothing wrong with your phone. When one SIM card is connected to 4G, the other will always remain on 3G because the phones are made in a way that both cannot connect to 4G LTE network at the same time. Silent mode issues Some users are reporting issues when they are using the Redmi Note 5 or Note 5 Pro in silent mode. Apparently, the phones’ silent mode won’t work when the headphone jack is plugged into the phone. Resetting the device to factory settings may help solve the problem, but since it looks like a software-based issue, Xiaomi should be working on a fix that could be part of the next update. The left speaker isn’t working When you look at the Redmi Note 5 from the bottom end, you can see what seem to be speaker grilles on either side of the microUSB port. Apparently, some users of the phone are reporting a case where sound only comes from the right grille and the one on the left isn’t producing any sound. Well, if you have experienced this, just know that there’s nothing wrong with your Redmi Note 5 because it doesn’t have dual speakers. The other grille houses one of the two microphones on the phone hence the lack of audio output. Low sound output when using the audio jack At a time when OEMs are getting rid of the audio jack, Xiaomi kept on with it as far as the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro are concerned. However, it seems owners of the latter are experiencing an issue with low sound output following an update to version Well, you’ll be glad to learn that Xiaomi rolled out an update that fixed this issue, beginning with MIUI9 beta, which is now available as a stable ROM. If you are still experiencing this issue even after updating to be sure to direct some of your concerns to this thread. Portrait camera problems The Redmi Note 5 Pro recently received an update that installs MIUI9 and even though the changelog talks of improved stability and performance, some users are reporting issues when taking photos in portrait mode. Apparently, the camera automatically zooms in the subject, more like what happens on Xiaomi Mi A1. While this behavior is a huge welcome on the Mi A1 since it has a telephoto lens that supports lossless zooming, the Redmi Note 5 Pro doesn’t have a telephoto lens and instead depends on digital zoom. As a result, users are ending up with slightly grainy photos that are not so great. The only working solution thus far is going back to the previous version of MIUI9, which can be quite a hassle, but other than that, you’ll have to make do with the changes as you wait for another software update from Xiaomi. Microphone issues The Redmi Note 5 Pro has two microphones: one at the top and another at the bottom of the phone. Despite this, some users of the phone are still reporting some issues with audio clarity on the recipients’ end. When making a phone call via the loudspeaker, the person on the other end constantly complaints of distorted sound that isn’t clear enough. This issue is also affecting the phone’s functionality with Google Assistant, which relies heavily on the microphones for taking commands from users. Worse off is that the affected Redmi Note 5 Pro units are failing microphone hardware tests, which implies that this could be a hardware-related issue. With this in mind, you might want to take your phone back to where you purchased it and either get the microphone fixed or the whole phone replaced. Vibration intensity issue Like volume, some devices allow users to adjust the vibration intensity, but the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro don’t. Apparently, some users of these two phones aren’t happy with the level of vibration as it makes them miss notifications even when the phone is in the pocket. Of course, we have different tastes, but if for some reason you feel what the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro are offering isn’t enough, you can always turn to the Google Play Store for apps that can help you do exactly that – adjust vibration intensity, unless Xiaomi has plans to tweak the feature via a software update. Sensors stopped working after latest update Software updates can be heaven sent, but at times, they come with the devil hidden in them. Such is the latest update ( to the Redmi Note 5 Pro, which renders several sensors on the phone unusable. Even after a factory reset, the sensors still won’t work. To make matters worse, doing a hardware test brings back failed results for most sensors, including gyroscope, proximity, GPS, accelerometer, etc. The best solution is to take the defective Redmi Note 5 Pro back to the retailer and get a replacement because there’s nothing a software update can do to solve this problem. Wireless connectivity issues If you are experiencing connectivity issues with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi on your Redmi Note 5 or Note 5 Pro, one easy solution is to forget the existing connections and then try to connect to them again. If this doesn’t work, try checking whether your wireless peripherals are working correctly and that there’s an established connection. A soft reset should help, otherwise, try the factory reset that can also help take away your pain, but the latter should be your last option. Common solutions As you may have seen above, an obvious solution to some of the problems listed above is a reset, so, let’s see how to do this. Soft reset (force restart) Hard reset (factory reset) The issues with your Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro that couldn’t be solved via device reset are a real trouble. You may have to wait for Xiaomi to release an update that fixes the issue. Check out the software updates that have been released so far by Xiaomi at the pages link below. To keep track of the pair’s software updates, check out their timelines below: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 updates timeline Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro updates timeline Android Oreo release date Since the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro came preinstalled with Android Nougat, it’s natural that some of our readers are already asking when Android Oreo will arrive on both handsets. Well, Xiaomi hasn’t given a date for rolling out Oreo to the two phones, but we are quite sure the update will be released. As for the date, our guess is Q3 2018, but things could change, for good or worse! Also Read: Xiaomi Oreo update news and release date Will it get Android P? Given that the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro are Xiaomi’s flagship midrange phones, we can only be sure of one major OS upgrade, but not another one unless Xiaomi announces the same. As noted, the pair has Nougat out of the box and it’s a tad unlikely that they’ll get past Oreo. But of course, since their bootloaders are unlockable, you won’t be short of Android P-based custom ROMs for either phone. Still, our hope is that Xiaomi rolls out Android P to the phones, even if means singling out the Redmi Note 5 Pro because of its superiority. Here’s our other coverage on Android P: How to get Android P features on Oreo, Nougat, Marshmallow, and Lollipop devices Will my phone get Android P?

Xiaomi has had one heck of 2017 in India. Building on the success of the Redmi Note 4, Redmi 4A, Redmi 4, and the Mi A1, the company managed to surpass Samsung and become the largest smartphone vendor in the country. More than a year after it first launched the Redmi Note 4, Xiaomi has now launched the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro in India. The company has taken a very interesting approach by launching the ‘Pro’ variant of the Redmi Note 5. Aimed at power users, the Redmi Note 5 Pro shares the same exterior as its regular sibling but comes with significantly more powerful internals. So, how good of a handset is the Redmi Note 5 Pro? Like the previous Redmi Note devices before it, does the Redmi Note 5 Pro also set a new benchmark in the value for money and best bang for buck department? Let’s find out in our review. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Review Design & Display In terms of design, the Redmi Note 5 Pro looks very similar to the Redmi 5 Plus which was unveiled by Xiaomi earlier this year in China. The front is dominated primarily by the 18:9 aspect ratio display, and it is flanked by relatively small bezels at the top and bottom. As for the rear design, Xiaomi has essentially taken the Redmi Note 4’s design and stretched it to make it taller. The sides of the rear panel do curve at the edges like on the Redmi Note 4, though the curvature is slightly more here and the finish better. This helps in making the Redmi Note 5 slightly easier to grip and even helps in improving the in-hand feel. The top and bottom panels of the rear are made of plastic though and act as an RF window for cellular and Wi-Fi connections. The fingerprint scanner is also located at the rear and so is the dual-camera setup whose protective glass looks like a direct rip-off of the iPhone X’s module. The bottom edge of the device houses the microUSB port in the center, with the headphone jack and a microphone flanking it on the left and the mono speaker located on the right. The volume and power buttons are located on the right edge, with the left edge housing the SIM card slot. The top is empty except for the IR blaster and a secondary microphone for noise cancellation and video recording. Thanks to the added heft and a better fit and finish from Xiaomi, the Redmi Note 5 Pro feels more premium to look and hold than the Redmi Note 4. The protruding camera setup at the rear might not be liked by everyone though, both in terms of its placement and design. The Redmi Note 5 Pro comes with a 18:9 FHD+ display. There are hardly any issues with the display. It gets plenty bright, though you will need to squint your eyes to be able to see anything in direct sunlight. It also has decent viewing angles but there’s discoloration at extreme angles when you view the display from the side. And Xiaomi has boosted the color saturation to make the display pop but this also throws color accuracy for a toss. Software and Performance Like with every other Xiaomi device, the Redmi Note 5 Pro also runs on MIUI 9 which is based on Android Nougat here. While Xiaomi does regularly update MIUI with new features and enhancements, MIUI is now looking stale and requires a UI revamp. MIUI 9 is also not everyone’s cup of tea despite Xiaomi making some improvements in recent months to better cater to the taste of its international audience. This includes switching the notification bar behavior to that of stock Android which means you finally get access to gestures like one-finger swipe down to expand unread notifications, swiping left/right to dismiss notifications and more. If you don’t mind how MIUI 9 looks and some of its behavioral quirks, you are surely going to appreciate the plethora of customization options and features offered by it. This includes the ability to run two instances of the same app, having two different ‘spaces’ for work and personal profiles, ability to tweak almost any aspect of the UI, and more. For the Redmi Note 5 Pro, Xiaomi has updated MIUI 9 to add support for face unlock. This feature relies solely on the 20MP front camera and works surprisingly really well irrespective of the lighting conditions. And like Google, Xiaomi also uses machine learning and AI to offer a Portrait mode for the selfie camera. With a powerful Snapdragon 636 chipset running at and plenty of RAM (4/6GB), the Redmi Note 5 Pro is an absolute beast when it comes to performance. The Snapdragon 636 is the first mid-range chip from Qualcomm to feature its custom Kryo cores which have generally been used by the chip maker in its premium Snapdragon 800 chipset. The powerful chipset means that the Redmi Note 5 Pro absolutely kills its competition in the benchmark department and posts some staggering scores for a mid-range device. The handset manages to score well over 110,000 points in AnTuTu and over 3000 points in GeekBench which put it well ahead of its competition. This raw horsepower also translates into excellent real-world performance, with the Redmi Note 5 Pro performing like a champ in daily use. The usual day-to-day activity like browsing the web, chatting on WhatsApp, Slack, Hangouts, or using Instagram hardly pose a challenge for Mi’s latest mid-ranger. Even while playing heavy games like Asphalt 8 or Asphalt Xtreme, the Redmi Note 5 Pro never skipped a frame or showed any signs of stuttering. Camera The Redmi Note 5 Pro is being billed as India’s camera beast. This is high praise from Xiaomi especially since its previous phones were never really known for their imaging performance. With the dual-camera setup on the Redmi Note 5 Pro though, Xiaomi is turning a new leaf. The primary 12MP sensor makes use of a Sony sensor with large pixels and an f/ lens. This is paired with a 5MP depth sensor from Samsung used for capturing depth information which allows the Redmi Note 5 Pro to apply fake bokeh effect in photos. The Redmi Note 3’s camera was downright dismissal and while Xiaomi made some improvements with the Redmi Note 4’s 13MP shooter, its performance in low-light still left a lot to be desired. With the Redmi Note 5 Pro, Xiaomi has managed to surpass its previous efforts in this department. The primary 12MP shooter is able to capture some excellent photos with plenty of details and dynamic range. You will have no complaints about the photos taken outside or with plenty of light around and you will actually be surprised at the amount of details the 12MP sensor manages to capture. In low-light, things are not as impressive but even then, the Redmi Note 5 Pro performs far better than its predecessor and even slightly better than the likes of the Honor 7X in challenging situations. Its the Portrait mode which has failed to impress me. The primary 12MP camera uses the secondary 5MP depth sensor to apply a depth effect to photos. The problem is that since the frame is too wide, portrait modes taken on the Redmi Note 5 Pro do not turn out to be that impressive. The frame needs to be a bit tighter to ensure that the focus is solely on the subject. As for the depth effect applied to the photos, it works more often than not but it still has plenty of room for improvement. The front 20MP selfie shooter is also able to capture detailed selfies, though Xiaomi’s Beautify mode does smoothen one’s skin excessively. The inclusion of a selfie light also helps in low-light scenarios as it ensures your selfies are properly lit. Xiaomi uses AI to offer a portrait mode for the selfie camera as well. The bokeh effect added in selfies works pretty well, though there’s still plenty of room for improvement as the edge detection can fail in slightly challenging conditions. Battery Life The Redmi Note 5 Pro comes with a 4,000mAh battery — the same as its predecessor. Coupled with a bigger display and a more powerful processor, this should have translated into the Redmi Note 5 Pro offering worse battery life than its predecessor. However, I am happy to report that in my testing, the handset has managed to deliver almost the same battery life, if not more, as the Redmi Note 4. In regular use primarily over Wi-Fi, I managed to get a screen on time of over 8 hours over a period of days. With light use, I constantly managed to get almost 3 days of battery life from the Redmi Note 5 Pro. The Redmi Note 5 Pro also supports Quick Charge though Xiaomi only bundles a 2A charger with the device. With the stock charger, the handset takes around 2 hours 45 mins for a full charge which is definitely on the higher side. Using a Quick Charge charger did not bring about any significant reduction in charging times. If anything, the long charging times on the Redmi Note 5 Pro remain my only gripe with the handset. Conclusion Over the last couple of years, Xiaomi has managed to set a new benchmark on what a smartphone should deliver with every new smartphone that it has launched. And with the Redmi Note 5 Pro, the company has managed to once again set the bar even higher. The Redmi Note 5 Pro stands true to its ‘Pro’ moniker and excels in almost every aspect, including camera performance which has usually been a sore point for Xiaomi devices. If you want a smartphone within Rs 20,000 – Rs 25,000 and live in a market where Xiaomi sells the Redmi Note 5 Pro, there really is no reason for you to not buy this handset. In fact, there’s really no reason for you to buy any other handset over the Redmi Note 5 Pro maybe except for the fact that it is so damn hard to buy the handset.

The Redmi Note 5 Pro is now available for purchase and is expectedly selling like hot cakes. That’s because it offers impressive value for your money and impressive hardware that competition simply can’t match. (हिंदी में) On the software side of things, the Redmi Note 5 Runs Xiaomi’s MIUI 9 which is a heavily customized Android skin.

Xiaomi today unveiled the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro in India. Up until last year, there was no ‘Pro’ variant in the Redmi Note series but Xiaomi has changed things around this year to cater to different needs of customers. So, what are the differences between the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro? Before you jump over to the differences below, you need to know that the Pro is meant for hardcore gamers and heavy users who want a slightly better camera performance on their phone. This does not mean that the regular variant of the Redmi Note 5 is a bad phone by any means though. Basis of Difference Redmi Note 5 Redmi Note 5 Pro Dimensions x x mm x x mm Weight 180g 181g Display FHD+ (2160 x 1080), curved Gorilla Glass 3 FHD+ (2160 x 1080), curved Gorilla Glass 3 Chipset Octa-core Snapdragon 625 chip @ 2GHz Octa-core Snapdragon 636 chip @ GPU Adreno 506 Adreno 510 RAM 3/4GB RAM 4/6GB RAM Storage 32/64GB 64GB Rear Camera 12MP F/ pixel, Dual-LED flash 12MP F/ pixel, Dual-LED flash Front Camera 5MP, LED selfie light, Beautify 20MP, LED selfie light, Beautify Sensors Fingerprint scanner (Rear), Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Proximity, Ambient light sensor, eCompass Fingerprint scanner (Rear), Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Proximity, Ambient light sensor, eCompass Connectivity LTE, (Hybrid) Dual SIM, GPS, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth microUSB LTE, (Hybrid) Dual SIM, GPS, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth microUSB Battery 4000mAh 4000mAh Software MIUI 9, Android MIUI 9, Android Others – Face Unlock As you can see from the comparison chart above, the Redmi Note 5 Pro comes with a more powerful Snapdragon 636 chipset. In fact, it is the first phone in the world to make use of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 chip which features the company’s custom designed Kryo cores. Apart from the more powerful chipset, the Redmi Note 5 Pro is offered by Xiaomi in a 6GB RAM variant as well. The additional 2GB of RAM is unlikely to make any huge difference in performance though unless you are a heavy multitasker. The other major difference between the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro is the dual-camera setup on the latter. While both phones come with a primary 12MP f/ shooter, the Redmi Note 5 Pro features a secondary 5MP shooter that is used to capture depth information to add a bokeh effect in photos. The Redmi Note 5 Pro also comes with a higher resolution 20MP selfie shooter at its front compared to the regular 5MP sensor found on the Redmi Note 5. Apart from capturing more detailed selfies, the higher resolution selfie camera on the Redmi Note 5 Pro allows it to offer face unlock which is missing from the regular variant of the handset.
