    Bought this in the UK - blows every other Android device in this price range out of the water and even some high end devices. Great performance, easy to use one handed and it has a nuclear reactor of a battery.

    It's been 4.5 years I'm using this device.. and now going to replace it. This was a great phone.. like he said best in this budget.. At first it had some bugs.. but those were fixed after updates.. and there was no lagging or anything.. in this price it was the best! But using after few years the speaker volume got so soo low you can't even hear sound when phone is very near.. i solved that problem but after sometime the speaker again died! Even at a distance of one arm it sound is so soo low.. and second thing is headphone jack.. that is so soo annoying.. i have to struggle a lot with earphones.. i just put earphone in and out 2-3 time in the headphone jack then it plugs.. and even after pluging in it opens Google assistant randomly anytime or will increase the sound to full automatically these things are very frequent with earphones.. and for calls earphones just don't work at all!! Even for multiplayer games where u can talk it dose not work.. it just cut the call.. and some chep quality earphones are just not supported at all.. it was not the case before.. this issue came after some years.. i don't remember exact date.. and also by now redmi stopped giving updates for this one.. so some playstore apps are not supported.. even some Instagram filters app Amazon not supported.. Google map's update not supported.. I'm not even able to see emojis and new fonts on Instagram.. just because redmi stopped giving updates.. but ya that's ok.. considering the price and the time i have been using this phone. Overall good.. everything else is still just on place.. before update there were issues like heating and bugs.. but after the updates phone is so smooth.. gaming is cool.. i even played pubg in this.. ram management decent.. superfast fingerprint.. just soo good till now.. i even dropped this phone many times and from normal heights.. (five feet max) it didn't broke or anything.. it's just fine and fabulous
    Overall I'm happy with my desicion.. it was a great phone😇

    A good video Ranjit Sir but after Miui 8 update sound quality has improved pretty well and for those who feel 9hrs charging time, it's not true maybe after ur miui 8 update things might have changed
    ...and talking about ringtone.. it doesn't matter for youngsters coz they have phone with them 98% of the day 😁😁

    backlit on the navigation buttons can be a deal breaker for few people, can be added in the list of cons.

    hey +geekyranjit i have very one important question .
    need a smartphone whose performance doesnot decrease much with time although it is inevitable ?
    i would like to use the smart phone as secondary only to deal with internet and use another mobile for calls
    mild gaming requirements now
    have been using iphone 4 (no gaming) for 5 years for internet over wifi.
