Which 5 inch (or under) phone?

[bilko]

Ive had the Redmi Note 3 pro 3G 32 G 650 snapdragon for about 2 weeks and I'm amazed.

Admittedly Ive had very little exposure to "foreign" phones, but I feel this is definitely on par with the Samsung galaxy s6 that my mate let me have a play with.

From Gearbest
Network:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz; CDMA 2000: BC0
4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz

Without gaming I'm getting around 10 hours screen on time, my last phone was around 4.

Fingerprint scanner is really rapid, probably 1/2 of a second or less, not measured it but lightening fast, plus ive recorded the same finger a few time just to give it the best chance, no idea if this is a good or bad thing.

Screen is 5.5 inches, I preferred 4.7 or 5 inch, but I’m used to it now and wouldn’t go back smaller, has one handed mode where you can turn the screen 3.5,4 and 4.5 inches.

no nfc, but i don't think i'd use it anyway

maybe has otg, don't quote me on that though

ir blaster, so far im having fun turning TV's off in different locations, immature but i refuse to grow old gracefully.

Slight downside it uses MIUI instead of stock Android, but there are many custom roms on XDA. I'm a flashaholic, and was changing roms every month or so on my galaxy s2, when the warranty runs out i will be in flash heaven again.

Hope this help, any question i will do my best to answer.


EDIT

There is a video on Youtube comparing the 2:16 to the 3:32, virtually identical in real world usage from what i could gather, but i paid the small extra for the extra 16Gb of internal storage.
