2-minute Review [Positives]	Pleasant design, sturdy build Quick and accurate fingerprint scanner Mostly simple, stock Android experience, and the few software-addons that Motorola does add (Moto Display, Moto Actions) are always useful Decent performance in daily basic use (although anything more than that will make it struggle) Excellent battery life - comfortably lasts 2 days with moderate use - you can leave your charger at home! Splash resistant	Decent design and build, pretty much in the style that has been pioneered by Xiaomi Nice, tall 5.7 inches 18:9 display with minimal bezels, and a pretty compact form factor Fast fingerprint scanner MIUI is one of the better Android UIs around Very good performance, backed by the capable Snapdragon 450, that can be considered almost on par with the current-generation Snapdragon 600-series options - on the whole, the Xiaomi Redmi 5 matches up well with devices that usually cost a fair bit more - this is visible even in practical use of the phone - it’s smooth, easy to use and performs well in most situations Decent (though not great) rear and front cameras - you will get decent shots in good light - brightness, composure and sharpness are all reasonable Very good battery life - thanks to MIUI 9’s frugal power consumption and the capabilities of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC, you can expect to get well over a day of battery life on a single charge On the whole, with very capable specifications at a very reasonable price, the Redmi 5 promises a lot for not much money, and it's main competition will likely come from its own, slightly more expensive cousins from the Redmi Note 5 series
2-minute Review [Negatives]	Display resolution definitely could have been better Gets slow at times, when pushed with heavy apps - so its basically meant for casual use (think email/WhatsApp/Social Networking) Average camera - pictures are sometimes fuzzy even in well-lit conditions	While the bezels are slim, they are more than what you’d typically expect from a modern tall-screen phone The display is nice but not quite as sharp as the one on the Redmi Note 5 The cameras are decent in good light, but in low light and even relatively weaker lighting conditions, pictures definitely lose competence
