So you want to buy the phone with a weaker battery because it charges 1 hour faster.

Lol, it doesn't work like that overall the T5 is better buy when considering purchase price the redmi becomes preferred. About the battery size that of the T5 is still considerable. Currently the battery size of my phone is 2850mah, I charge twice daily and can go 12 hours with normal songs before the battery gets drained.

I've no doubt that it'll take u a short while to get uncomfortable with d 5plus. sd 835 to 625 is very significant.

Sell it and buy OnePlus 6 or Xiaomi mi8

Xiaomi mi8.. is owk, but No Radio and battery is no no for me

I recently switched from the OnePlus 5T to the Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus after seeing good reviews about it and here are my thoughts:

1. I will never ever spend my money on any Samsung or Apple phone in my life. China phones have really stepped up their game.

2. It has a longer battery life (4000mAh) than the OnePlus 5T (3300mAh).

3. Its processor speed isn't as fast As the OnePlus 5T but it sure keeps up speed.

4. It's camera and video quality is just ok, but the OnePlus 5T has an excellent video and camera quality when compared.

5. Gaming experience is equally as good as the OnePlus 5T.

6. It costs almost $400 less than the OnePlus 5T but seems like a perfect budget friendly flagship phone or backup phone.

I bought the OnePlus 5T for about $559 while the Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus cost me only $160.

7. It doesn't have fast charge like the OnePlus 5T but you can reach 100% from about 5% in about 2hrs 10 mins. The OnePlus 5T does that in about 1 hour.

8. If you like large phones, the Redmi 5 plus is slightly larger than the OnePlus 5T but the 5T has a larger screen to body ratio than the Redmi.

Attached is the pictures showing the battery life as well as screen on time for two different days. Note the percentage of battery left in the screenshots.

The OnePlus 5T can only boast of an average of 5hr 30mins of on screen time but the 4000mAh battery of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus wins in this area. It can average a 9hrs onscreen time easily.

My opinion: stop chasing the hype of iPhones or Samsung phones, both of which I can afford. I chose to stop wasting my money on brand names when I can easily get better phones with better specs for hundreds of dollars cheaper. It is called being penny wise. My opinion.
dude from your comparation the phone you left is better than the phone youre using. and you're saying you're not going back to samsung and apple?

personally i despise apple because yhey keep on increasing the screen size and better camera I'd agree, that's all and jacking up the price.

like the difference between iphone 6 and 6s is just the 3d glass and an s at the back. what the hell is that anyway. Apple is for people with too much money and don't know what to do with it

i don't even take pictures so I'd never go for an iphone.

but samsung, bro. samsung is on a different level. way above xiaomi

In as much I can't see myself using an iPhone, you can't really say those using it are wasting their money. Same can be said of people using Android phones of over 200-250k, it is not waste of money. What we want in devices matters, for me I can sacrifice battery life for a powerful chipset. Battery doesn't even come to my mind when buying a device as a daily driver as I can top up from 0-100% in 90mins or less.

Exactly. When it comes to specs, the OnePlus 5T beats the iPhone X hands down. I discovered the China phone market late last year and I will continue to patronize them. I live in US and I bought my OnePlus 5T and Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus online from Hong Kong and shipping took only about 3 days for each. China is serious about their products. I'm not spending my head earned money on brand names anymore. I need quality for my money.

I know alot of people with iphone. like in my apartment we're 5 and 4 of them have iphones I'm the only one with Samsung, and believe me the only good thing they use their phone to do is take pictures. mine has alot of capabilities that theirs don't have. Sometimes i do something with my phone and tease them saying their phone can never do it.

iphone is overhyped, I'm not judging thosr that buy it because it's their money. but the reason they buy iphone is solely because of the camera which to me is just well sorry to say, dumb
