Vatsal Impex has launched the new Redmi 5 in Nepal. The new phone, though small comes with a FullView display and a superior build quality akin to its big brother Redmi 5 Plus (which was launched a month ago in Nepal).
The budget-centric phone is what most of the smartphone lovers might be looking for, especially for the way it looks. Despite the 5.7-inch screen staying low at 720p, the Redmi 5 has a FullView display — meaning it bears an 18:9 aspect ratio seen on flagships like the iPhone X and Galaxy S9.
However, unlike the Redmi 5 Plus, the phone carries a less powerful Snapdragon 450 chipset inside. Although the octa-core processor might get the job done for most, users looking for intensive gaming might wanna opt-in for the bigger model.
Optically, the phone’s is no different to its counterpart. There’s a single 12MP f/2.2 aperture lens at the back with 1.25um of pixel size and PDAF. The front’s not surprising though — it’s just a 5MP sensor that can capture videos at 1080p. At the rear, just below the camera, the phone rocks a fingerprint scanner too.
Powering all the needs and necessity is a 3,300mAh battery while booting up will be the Android 7.1.2 Nougat on top of MIUI 9.1.
