Redmi Note 5 Pro

As we all know that the Xiaomi has always been a great smartphone manufacturer for the people who wanted a smartphone with good specifications in there budget which they can afford and now the Xiaomi has presented a new smartphone in there Redmi Note series named as Redmi note 5 pro. It is powered by some cool new feachers like the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor , a 20MP front camera and much more. However, Redmi Note 5 Pro is not the only device that the company has introduced; a new Redmi Note 5 Pro smartphone and the Mi LED TV 4 in 55-inches size with the company’s own PatchWall OS are also launched in India.

The Redmi Note 5 Pro is the first smartphone which is launched with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor. The original Redmi Note 5 series continues with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, which we also saw on the Redmi Note 4 from last year. The new Redmi Note Pro variant sports a bigger 18:9 display which is 5.99-inches in size, a dual camera at the back, which is aligned horizontally and might remind some of the iPhone X. The front camera is 20MP on the Redmi Note 5 Pro and also has a selfie LED flash. There’s also va a 6GB RAMriant as in the Pro series.

It would be fair to say that the Redmi Note 5 Pro is more beefed up variant of the Redmi Note 5 with a higher pricing than Redmi Note 5 as well. Redmi Note 5 Pro will cost Rs 13,999 for the 4GB RAM and 64GB variant, while the 6GB RAM and 64GB variant is priced at Rs 16,999. Redmi Note 5 Pro has been on sale on Flipkart from February 22.

 Redmi Note 5 Pro Design, Display

Redmi Note 5 Pro sticks with same old metal unibody design that has become common on Xiaomi phones, but this time there with a big change. The display is 5.99-inches, but with an 18:9 aspect ratio and the buttons are now in-screen and not on the bottom bezel as was the case with the previous phones. This is not entirely a bezel-less display and you can see them on the sides, though they are very thin. On the top, there’s also the 20MP selfie camera with a flash along with IR blaster.

The fingerprint sensor also remains at the back and this one still has a hybrid dual-SIM slot which we thought that will not be there in this new Redmi Note 5 Pro but  Xiaomi has not gone for a dedicated dual SIM and microSD slot like we saw in the Redmi Y1 series. The dual rear camera is tucked away on one corner of the phone and it juts out quite prominently which can be a issue for some people. The rear camera specification is 12MP+5MP for the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

This might be a Pro variant, but Xiaomi  is still sticking with the older micro-USB port in Redmi Note 5 Pro. There’s also no fasting charging on this phone, though it has a 4000 mAh battery. The headphone jack and a single speaker are also placed at the bottom of the phone. Overall, the build quality of the Redmi Note 5 Pro feels premium and using this with one hand is not a problem. But according to it's weight this is a bulky phone and not light given that it sports a 4000 mAh battery on board.

 Now Finally coming to the display and the quality, the  new Redmi Note 5 Pro’s 18:9 aspect ratio display means a lot more of viewing space for video which means a lot for those movie and game lovers while the resolution is now FHD+ (2160 x 1080) and videos on this look crisp and the display works well even in sunlight. Colour reproduction is mostly accurate, and the viewing angles are not bad. However, the Redmi Note 5 also has a similar display as its older variants.

 Redmi Note 5 Pro { Performance, Specifications, Software and Battery }

Now coming to the specifications, the new Redmi Note 5 Pro is also having a 6GB RAM variant this time. The smartphone runs on a  Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, which according to Xiaomi comes with Kyro micro-architecture, which has previously been limited to the Snapdragon 800 series. The 800 series is usually seen on flagship phones. On Antutu, the Redmi Note 5 Pro scores around 100,000 plus for us, which is impressive for phone priced at under Rs 17,000. On the PCMark Battery test, Redmi Note 5 Pro last around 12 hours, which is expected given this has a huge battery on board.

Redmi Note 5 Pro has not given any cause for complaints in daily performance, though the usersb are happy as they are able to play some heavy graphics games on this smartphone. When it cames to the video consumption or browsing multiple tabs on Chrome, the Redmi Note 5 Pro performs smoothly. Also it takes around 2 hours to get it to a full 100 per cent from under 20 per cent, which is not bad.

Redmi Note 5 Pro Camera

Now Finally it's the Camera guys ,The Camera  is the highlight of the Redmi Note 5 Pro because it has two sensors at the back. This is also  Xiaomi's first Redmi phone to sport a 20MP front camera, which is also having a Portrait mode.According to the Xiaomi users world wide which has laid there hands on this beautiful piece of technology has reported that the Redmi Note 5 Pro's Portrait mode is 

impressive when it is compared to it's price range 

The front selfie camera is also great, and the Beautify mode now has customisations for India. For instance, it won’t blur out nose pins or bindis, when someone is taking a selfie. Still the Portrait mode on selfies works nicely when there is ample light, though in low-light, this is another story. The Redmi Note 5 Pro’s low-light performance is still not as good and details are missing from the pictures but still it is a great phone. So if  You are Planning to lay your hands on  one then go ahead and take one.
