- A good smartphone for the price.
Last major Android update was Pie.
Android security patches come every quarter.
The second camera can't be used to take photos; it helps the main one determine depth in photos.
3GB of RAM isn't enough for some people. Get a 4GB RAM variant if you plan to use this smartphone for at least two or three years.Positives- Decent performance and battery life.
- Popular with custom ROM developers.
- Supports Qualcomm Quick Charge.
- High resolution LCD display.
- Has MicroSD card slot.
- Comes with protective case in box.
Negatives- Uses MicroUSB to charge.
- No Qualcomm Quick Charge adaptor in box.
- Rather large bottom bezel.
- Have 2 SIM cards or 1 SIM card and 1 MIcroSD card.

Brought it as it came out. Very good experience. The 636 chipset is good for what is worth, can handle normal browsing, video playback up to 4k (though the screen is only 1080p+), nice cameras for the price.
The fingerprint reader usually got "too dirty" after a couple of touches, making it close to useless, sadly.- 7.8

Well this sure is best Xiaomi phone I owned. I wanted to use it for years and that's what it does for me. Also quality is good and camera still satisfies me. Battery lasts a day of heavy use or two days with light use. Overall good value in 2018. Now 3 generations old but still good. Redmi Note series FTW.

I can't judge this phone by its preinstalled MIUI software skin because immidiately I got it I installed custom ROM on it. As far as other things are concerned this phone is awesome. It has good design, good display, good internals, good battery, good cameras, everything is perfect on this phone especially its price.
Positives- Build, design
