90/100

TheEffect.Net | John Reilly

Without a doubt, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is great starting point for Xiaomi smartphones in Ireland. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat especially for users who are looking for a fairly inexpensive device that performs close to flagship levels.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is great value for money. The device has excellent performance for its price while delivering a bright display among other highlights.

Android Authority | Abhishek Baxi

The Redmi Note 5 is not a significant upgrade to the Redmi Note 4 yet is a well-rounded package that is absolutely recommended for anyone looking for a budget smartphone. It performs great and is a compelling value-for-money proposition.

The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal

So, if you are existing Redmi Note 4 users and want to upgrade, then we suggest you should shed some extra bucks and go for the Redmi Note 5 Pro as it makes much more sense.

... those looking for a smartphone will definitely consider the Redmi Note 5, but those already with a Redmi Note 4 might feel tempted to pass. Or maybe go for the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

All said and done, none of the competitors can match the brand equity that Xiaomi has built in such a short span of time, and if you are looking for a smartphone, the Redmi Note 5 is hard to ignore.

NDTV Gadgets | Aditya Shenoy

Xiaomi seems to have played it safe with the Redmi Note 5, and it feels like a Redmi Note 4 with a better screen and lower price to keep up with the times, which is not a bad thing at all. It takes a solid foundation and improves on it, giving Xiaomi another good all-rounder.

Firstpost | Anirudh Regidi

The Note 5 is a good phone, but it's also boring. It's capable, but it's not as exciting anymore.

If you're a Redmi fan looking for an upgrade, you might want to skip this one. The true upgrade is found on the Redmi Note 5 Pro with its latest processor and familiar-looking rear cameras.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM only deals are limited to 30-day and 12-month plans, excluding shorter plans and Pay As You Go rates.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
