[Ultimo_Urien]

Local set is out - Challenger is selling local redmi note 5 but I forgot whats the retail price.

Should be able to check it out the local official lazada mi store.

Challenger boh cheap one, follow local Mi store pricing standard.

How do you know if you're purchasing an official Xiaomi phone?

1) Find the IMEI number (see how to below)
2) Click on the link and key in your IMEI number: mi.com/verify/#imei_en

If your delivery address states "Singapore", then it's eligible for warranty at our service centre!

Bro, i just called them to and they say 1 Year in Xiaomi Sg Svc center though.

Nevertheless, very useful info, thanks!

if you need more space can buy 128gb memory card, format as ext3 to overcome 4gb filesize limit

Is 3gb ram enough?

Is 3gb ram enough?

Is up to the individual, right ? If you only surf the net, watch YouTube and few other apps, like checking bus timing, etc... then definitely.

if You want to cater for future, then get more. Also depends on how long you intend to use your phone. If you use it for 2 or more years, then one thing to note is that, even if you use the same apps, it gets slower. I think the apps get bigger over time as you update. Also as you update your OS, it tends to get slower, IMHO.

Can think along the line: How much ram is your current phone ? Do you like to install apps for fun ? Do you experience drag over time ? I think you get my point ?

How you get the 8% rebate ?

u can sign for free live-up member on lazada and pay with citi credit card, the rebate can only be used to buy stuff off lazada.

Is the plug a 3pin one or round 2pin?

its round 2 pin .

Hitec's spec is confusing, the rear camera is 1.25uM but the Redmi Note 5 AI (china variant is 1.4uM.

Can u check what's the android version on the one u purchased? Is it 7 (Nougat) or 8 (Oreo)? Thanks.

I just purchased 4/64 black from Hi-Tec on lazada. Seems pretty decent with stock global rom , its china variant with 13mp cam. but verification shows its meant for russian federation, which is pretty cool i guess. I got it for 280- $12 citibank and 8% rebate of $21, i could say its around 247? pretty decent for the 64gb variant

Is hitec trustworthy

Is hitec trustworthy

Can't answer that question but one thing for sure, they are not doing themselves a favor by publishing confusing specification on Lazada.

I hope they can fix the issue ASAP to clear up the confusion.

I feel it's better than JTBC, at least they are quite responsive to chats when I message them on Shopee.

Is the box printed in English, as in the words on the box package are in English?

Quote the wrong post, this is referring to post #2074

I went to shopee and saw the ad by Hitec, it says the front camera is 20MP so I don't think this is the china variant aka Note 5 AI Dual Camera.

Does the front of the box states 红米Note 5? If it is then it's a China set.

 

[chainer9999]

So is hitec selling the China variant or India?

 

[Geo]

Can you also check is the Android version 7 or 8? On JTBC website in Shopee, the camera spec suggests is China variant but the Android is 7 (Nougat).

Acc. to gsmerana, China variant i.e Note 5 AI Dual Camera should come with Android (Oreo).

Thanks.

Looking at the spec they published on Shopee should be India (20MP front camera)

They mentioned that they're selling the Global export set, could possibly be the one sold on Aliexpress Xiaomi Online store too.
