The Xiaomi Redmi 5 is an affordable smartphone with a lot to offer. It uses the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC, and has an 18:9 720 × 1440 screen which most of people are looking for in their next mobile. The build quality is excellent, but in terms of design this phone isn’t similar as borderless as Xiaomi shows it. We can choose between 3 variants with different combinations of RAM and storage. Battery life is outstanding, however we are somewhat not happy with the camera. MIUI 9.2.7 has a lot of conveniences but is based on Android 7.1.2 and we can miss various Android 8.0 features. Redmi 5 specs are mentioned in below tables.
