Best 200$ You Will Ever Spend on a Smartphone.
There are so many great smartphone companies in the world but not many of them are as famous as Apple, Samsung or LG. But that doesn't means they don't make good phones. They just don't get much attention.
In today's post I'm going to talk about a smartphone which has the best value under 200$, its a phone from Xiaomi (a Chinese company) the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 or Redmi 5 Plus.
1- Display:
It has a 6 inch IPS Panel with a resolution of 1080*2160 which means its an 18:9 display, it is a great display for the price. It has great colors and viewing angles. Well it's not as great as an amoled but for under 200$ you can't go wrong with this phone.
2- Camera:
It has a 12MP f2.2 camera which is capable of 4K video recording, and a 5MP front facing shooter. There are a lot of features built into the camera like beauty shots and fake bouquet effects. The low light is not that impressive because of smaller aperture, but in bright light you can shoot some great photos. In short for the price it's has a great camera.
3- Performance:
It has a Snapdragon 625 chip inside paired with Adreno 506 with 3GB of ram which is more than enough to keep the phone running very smooth, and there is no game you can't play on this phone, plus it has 64GB internal storage with micro-sd card support. So storage and performance is not an issue. There is almost nothing this phone can't do which a 500 or 600$ phone can do.
4- Miscellaneous:
The phone packs a whopping 4000 mAh battery which is crazy, you can easily use this phone for atleast 2 days without having to look for a charger, plus it has fast charging. It has a decent speaker which is expected and bonus point, it has a headphone jack. It comes with android 7.1.2 out of the box but there is no news if it is ever going to be upgraded to the android 8 Oreo. It has a highly skinned version of android MIUI, which some people like and some doesn't. It has a rear mounted finger print scanner, which is quite fast and accurate. The phone comes in 4 colors, Black, Gold, Light Blue, Rose Gold so there are a number of options to choose from.
