They are taking pre order only! as i ordered it a day before yesterday, & today surprisingly i received a notification of "item has been shipped" along with Leopard courier Tracking code and i also got a confirmation msg from Leopard courier! i expect it to be delivered either tomorrow or on Monday.

BTW i think its PRO version.

Anyways i'll update the thread once i get my hand on it.

Got it today, it is redmi note 5 Pro with 3GB of Ram and 32GB storage and Qualcomm Snapdragon 636.

Overall I'm very pleased with it. The bazelless design at this price point is just awesome.

Micro Usb is the only con I see.

Do you know this person personally? If yes, ask them which specific website and vendor they bought the phone from, otherwise you're just spreading rumors without any merit to them.

Daraz is a marketplace, so on Daraz, which specific seller did he buy from? This information will help other buyers avoid this seller.

Also, was he able to get his problem resolved? Can you post a link to the facebook post?

It reports only 21GB as available storage out of 32GB, with only 17GB free space (after installing apps/games?). Where is all this space going? The recovery partition/etc is taking up 11GB of space???

What are your impression of it so far? Can you tell me what the overnight idle battery drain is? I have read on XDA that many Users have issues with idle battery drain issues, with the phone losing 8-10% charge overnight when not in use.

Also, I've read on XDA about heating issues. Have you used any CPU intensive applications like games and noticed heating?

bro i don't play any CPU intensive games or benchmarks on smartphone, the battery life has been pretty good thus far. and IDLE battery drain is hardly 4% for me.

So you plan to keep this phone for the next year or so at least?

My personal experience with Xiaomi products is that they aren't built to last, but maybe that's just my experience with their products.

They have removed the full list of upcoming phones from this page. Last time I saw this page, it listed A2, A2 lite, Redmi 6, Redmi 6A and Mi 8.

They launched Redmi 6, Redmi 6A and Mi 8 at the launch event at some hotel in Lahore. The Redmi6 or 6A aren't worth buying, and the Mi 8 is retailing for 65k. There are better options at that range such as the One Plus 6.

No news on A2 or A2 lite, but looking at reviews, they are not impressive phones due to various reasons such as battery, or notch or etc.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
