Xiaomi Redmi 5 Review

Score: 67.2 / 100

Xiaomi Redmi 5 is a high quality Android cellphone released in December 2017, which features a Octa-Core processing unit running at 1800 MHz, a huge 5.7" display, and 2 cameras, a 12 megapixels back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

This cellphone is for sale in color 16 777 216. This cellphone feels much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone this size. Regarding its body materials, this phone is manufactured with Metal . This cellphone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.3 inches. The Xiaomi Redmi 5 just has 5.98" long, but it's still able to fit a a 5.7" display.

Xiaomi decided to sell this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 system chip, packing a high-tech 1800 megahertz Octa-Core processing unit with a great 3 GB RAM memory. This phone comes with a great 32 GB internal storage and an external SD slot, which allows you to store tons of applications, games, pictures and videos without even thinking about how much storage is left.

Xiaomi equipped this cellphone with a very good 5.7" screen, and a 720 x 1440 resolution, which makes it hard to distinguish the pixels composing the screen.

The Xiaomi Redmi 5 provides wifi capability (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot). The Xiaomi Redmi 5 uses a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

The Xiaomi Redmi 5 has two cameras, a 12 megapixels back side camera and a 5 mega-pixels front facing camera. The Xiaomi Redmi 5 also captures Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 frames per second.

This phone also includes a wide range of cool features like Fingerprint ID, Bluetooth (enables communication with other devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Localization and FM Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

This phone has a 3300 mAh huge non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it. An issue to take into account is that the Xiaomi Redmi 5's battery is not replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins losing capacity, although with so much capacity you will probably buy a new cellphone before that becomes a real problem.

The Xiaomi Redmi 5 is a bit overvalued considering it costs $ 135, while many similar phones are quite cheaper than that. If you you love taking photos, want this cellphone for playing games, need this cellphone for work or are looking for a device mainly for internet broswing and social networks, you will definitely love this cellphone.
