Are you still happy with it? I have a Redmi Pro and want good battery life. (And perhaps a new battery!)
R.
Mate, the Redmi Pro would beat hands down all my previous phones if I were to file a rank of the worst phone I ever bought. Poor battery life despite whichever ROM I installed on it, the seller closed after having become a very well known and ubiquitously recommended shop in Italy (maybe you know who I'm talking about), and anyway it previously refused to even check the phone which developed a severe screen burn-in after less than a year, stating that even if they were getting the phone and sending it to china, the guarantee would not cover the screen damage (maybe they are not so sure about their OLED quality?). Let alone the Mediatek chipset who prevents any type of hacking or modified rom, and no hope for an upgrade from Xiaomi due to the lack of drivers (or so they say) for Android 7.
I frankly laugh at people getting 5-6 hours SOT off of their Redmi Pro, I consider it being impossible even if remaining 100% of the time under strong wifi coverage, something which is not conceivable at least in italy, except you work from home or have an accessible wifi network at work (accessible as "
you have permission to connect to..").
Now, most probably due to the age of the battery (well, one and a half year, not that much) I rarely got more than 1,5 hours SOT and have to charge the phone at least twice throughout the whole day if I want to be sure that if I go out at 9 it will last another hour or so.
I was now thinking about getting another battery after I saw how easy it is to replace it (didn't notice the two screws on the bottom and thought the phone was very hard to open), in the hope that this will at least restore the original couple of hours with some 10-15% residual battery so that I am not forced to live tangled to a charge cable.
Sometimes I miss my Galaxy Nexus so much..
but also that had its flaws, last but not least the emmc brickbug, which forced me to change phone..
