Wondering how the XM N5 6GB ver will measure up agnst Samsung A8+ since both sporting 6GB ram and 64GB storage, thought of getting either.
Redmi Note 5 better GPU, A8+ better CPU. If you game a lot, better to get Redmi Note 5.

Hi. I am buying a Redmi 5 Plus off carousell. It is supposed to be a local set. How do I check/ensure that it is a legitimate model and that the OS/ROM is how it should be? (Are there any fake ones?)

Thanks!
For now, I don't think there's a fake Redmi 5 Plus. If local set, should have receipt with IDA sticker on the box.

Thanks! I am loving that this phone has a big battery, I hope it really last. I am using an old iPhone 5 which only has a few hours of battery.

Gaming-wise, it should do better than an iPhone 5, right?

Yes better. But it also has a higher resolution display to push so the different might not be super huge, but it's still a significant improvement.

Well for mine is the global version. Doesn't have the China bloatwares and useless apps. Only Mi apps. I believe it's the China version (note 5 AI), with global rom, because the front camera is the 13MP one

How much are they selling on shoppe?

This is the average price for export sets. If it's not the china version than it's not worth it

I think mine is the China one just that the rom flashed is a global rom. So I think it's pretty worth the price
