Newly Launched Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro

-
In a market as competitive as the Indian smartphone market, every company strives to achieve the number one position.According to the latest figures from IDC, Xiaomi has been crowned the king of the Indian smartphone market beating the chaebol during the fourth quarter of the year 2017, creating a certain pressure on Xiaomi to remain the leader.he Redmi Note 5, Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Mi TV 4 -- recently, here we are going to talk about the Pro edition of the newly launched Redmi Note 5 . The India launch marks the global entry of this device which comes with certain features worth your attention such as a completely new Snapdragon 636 processor, the 20MP front camera and a dual rear camera setup.

Redmi 5 Pro Design and Display

Given the obsession of the smartphone world with the 18:9 aspect ratio of the display Xiaomi too has incorporated this for the Redmi 5 Pro . But this isn’t the first Xiaomi phone to come with a bezel-less design in India as it had introduced this feature with its flagship device the Mi Mix 2 last year. However, with the Redmi 5 Pro, now it won’t burn a hole in your pocket. Due to the bigger display, the capacitive keys are now on-screen keys.
The front is as usual dominated by the display along with the selfie camera, earpiece and the usual array of sensors on the top edge, with a layer of 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass on the top with rounded display corners. The curves make the phone easy to hold and facilitate smooth operation, despite sporting a 5.99-inch screen size.

Moving on, the back panel also has a centrally placed fingerprint sensor and the Mi branding below it. The handset comes with a micro-USB charging port (we fail to understand why) that is placed at the bottom, along with 3.5mm audio jack and the mono speaker. There's a volume rocker and power button on the right, while the left side has a SIM card tray. The top of smartphone has the IR blaster that lets it control devices such as a TV.

Coming to the display, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro has a 5.99-inch screen with a FHD+ resolution of 2160x1080p. The display comes with features such as Reading mode, which reduces the blue light emissions; Schedule that lets you customize the period of this reading mode; Contrast and colour selection and text size options. The images were quite sharp and we did not see any pixelization. The sunlight legibility is not one of the best suits of the device and we also felt the display looks slightly dimmer, when viewed from a certain angle.

Performance and camera

Let’s talk about the specs of the device as it comes with a noteworthy feature. Debuting along with the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Pro is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, making it the first smartphone in the world to be powered by it. This new chipset features the newest Kyro technology, claimed to be seen in the 800-series chipset. Apart from this, the Note 5 Pro has 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage.
The device runs Xiaomi's MIUI 9 skin based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat, and should hopefully receive an Oreo-based update as all major launches of this year now are expected to come with the latest operating system. The MIUI 9, like the typical Xiaomi UI, has no app drawer and therefore all apps are placed on multiple home-screens. It comes with an app lock feature and dual apps space customized theme option. The leftmost home screen comes with quick cards that show the frequently used features and information. It is placed in the form of cards, similar to Today's page in iOS, that show shortcuts, calendar, take a note and more. This can obviously be customized as per the user and comes in quite handy once you start depending on it.The Xiaomi Redmi 5 Pro is backed by a 4000mAh battery that easily lasted us for more than a day of average use that included playing games and browsing social media apps, with Wi-Fi turned on.


Moving on to the cameras, the Xiaomi Note 5 Pro comes with a -- iPhone-look-alike -- dual rear camera setup of 12MP+5MP RGB sensors. The primary 12MP camera has a 1.25µm sensor and a f/2.2, while the secondary camera has 1.12µm sensor and f/2.0. As per Xiaomi, the secondary camera comes in handy for depth sensing in the portrait mode as well as capturing 'additional information' in low-light shots. On the front, the device a whopping 20MP camera, not seen something on a Xiaomi device before. This front camera comes equipped with Beautify 4.0 AI algorithm and a dedicated selfie-light, clearly marking its move to capture the selfie-crazed generation of the country.

The Xiaomi Note 5 Pro is hands down a great phone. It has a powerful processor and a good camera, not just on paper but in experience as well. The FHD+ display in an 18:9 aspect ratio is an added perk. The device comes in two storage variants of 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage at Rs 13,999, which is dirt cheap for the kind of specs it offers.
There is also a 6GB RAM variant that comes at Rs 16,999, making it the first Xiaomi Note phone to have 6GB RAM variant. Personally, we feel, 4GB will be enough for a casual user, but for those who want extra, even this variant doesn’t qualify as over-priced. With so many things going for it, it’s hard but to not absolutely recommend the Note 5 Pro. Competition better up their game as Xiaomi with Note 5 Pro clearly has

Indian Churidar Suits

Churidar (also spelled as Chudidar, Churidaar) is a tight fitting trouser worn by both men and women.

The excessive length folds at the ankles and appears as a bangle (Churi). Thus, it has been named as ‘Churidar’, which springs from the word ‘Churi’, an Indian term for bangles.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note series phones have set benchmarks for the company, featuring the absolute best it has to offer in terms of mobile technology. The big differentiating factor from the S series has been bigger screens and the S-Pen stylus, and this formula has worked well for Samsung for years now. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 design and build The Galaxy Note 8 is more than just a slightly stretched Galaxy S8+. Its body is more rectangular and the curves at the corners are less pronounced. The metal frame on the sides is also thicker, with overall width rising to 8.6mm. This phone is also heavier at around 195 grams. However, the weight aside, we found it to be surprisingly easier to manage than the S8+. We’ve been using the latter for a long time now, and even with a silicone case, it’s still easy to handle. The Note 8’s dimensions make it feel better to hold, and even without a case, we’ve yet to accidentally drop it. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 feels robust and solid, but be prep...
