Well with specific amount of pressure every aluminium phone is going to bend. That's how aluminium works guys. It's not Xiaomi specific. iPhones bend too even with pressure applied using bare hands. If you don't want your device to be bent then use it carefully. Apply a case. Don't sit on it or probably stop thinking that you bought an explosion proof phone. Simple logic. If it's aluminium its destined to be bent if you apply pressure. So keep your phone safe.
the replacement shells are like 17 shipped, its not end of the world even if it did bend, but yeah a case a no skinny jeans goes a long way.
Mine appears to be bent after ~2 hours of being in my front pocket, with a case. It was either bent out of the box, or Xiaomi is using the cheapest aluminum available. I've never bent or damaged a phone in any way. My iPhone 6s plus is perfect, without the slightest bend, and I've used it caseless for three years. So, yeah, it appears to be a Xiaomi specific problem. If a phone is so fragile you can't even put it in your front pocket, then it's hot garbage.
well i can surely said that xiaomi built quality are red hot garbage , i have been using lots of xiaomi variant and most of them suffer from bending issue. its really annoying i cant even put it in my pocket to make sure its not bended.
I've too seen that video, before buying the device, as I knew many other Xiaomis were extremely fragile, like the A1 or the RN4. Asking other users around, it appears that some RN5 are slightly bent out of the box. Even the display unit at a local store is. This is rubbish, I'm returning it, and never buying a Xiaomi phone again. You get what you pay for, I guess. Also, this community is toxic and full of fanboys that can't admit their device is not perfect. If it's bent it's the shoddy build quality's fault, not mine. All my devices are in pristine condition after years of use.

It's my first Xiaomi, so I'm far away to be a fan boy and I'm not involved in the community. But for using the smartphone for almost two months, I think it's pretty well made and solid. As most of phones it's not a tank but I'm not very gentle with it, I use the protection wich came in the package and for the moment I have nothing to complain. It felt down twice and no damage to declare.
So in my opinion it's a solid phone.

This phone is anything but flawless. Apparently many Xiaomis are slightly bent out of the box, and that's definitely a symptom of bad quality control. Luckily I returned the RN5p and go a discounted Honor Play for only 15€ more. Night and day difference in build quality.
Apparently, i would like you to give me atleast 1 source for this "bent out of box" claim. Because this is first time im hearing it. And Honor Play starts at 240 euros, where as redmi note 5 starts at 130 euros, so you are comparing apples to oranges here... Budget vs middle tier.
It cannot have bent inside my pocket, with so little time and pressure. The model on display at a local mall is also slightly bent, and users on a reddit tread on r/xiaomi confirmed that other models (A1, A2 lite RN4) appear to have bent either out of the box or without any pressure. In 10 years of using smartphones I've never had to worry about them just bending in my pocket. So, it either was like that out of the box, or they're using soda can-grade aluminium.
Anyway you're comparing the price of an imported from china (so, no warranty at all, and china ROM) in a 3gb of ram edition, to the price of a phone sold locally with a decent warranty of 2 years. The RN5p with 4GB of ram is 199€ here, I've paid my Honor Play 216€ during a sale.
Just take it , most of xiaomi phone suffer from bending issue , they have worst build quality in their product ,i have been a fans of xiaomi product and have been using their product for a long2 time , this bending problem started when they release redmi note 3 or to simplify it when their started to using aluminium material on their phone body parts.
