This plus version is also referred to as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. Its large 5.99 inches display makes it worthy of being likened to a note. Salient technical specs present are the 64GB storage, octa-core powered CPU and an astonishing 4,000mAh battery.
At this juncture, let’s find out more about this smartphone from the stables of Xiaomi.
Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus Quick Review
Something about Xiaomi is that they don’t joke with their smartphones’ designs. Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus doesn’t come shy of this pedigree. Its aluminium alloy frame provides a platform for the rear camera, fingerprint scanner and Xiaomi logo to have their place. However, its edges are made of plastic. Although its weight is slightly high at 180g, it has a trim thickness of 8.1mm.
Display-wise, an IPS LCD screen of 5.99 inches handles the output of media. It is well expressed by a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels and 403PPI pixel density. As trendy as trend can sound, the popular 18:9 aspect ratio grants the smartphone a Full View Display capacity. Fret not, a Corning Gorilla Glass is aboard to provide screen protection in case the phone calls to the floor.
Under the IPS glass, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC runs the affairs. It packs along an octa-core CPU of 2.0GHz speed. Adreno 506 GPU controls the graphics presentation on the phone. Android 7.1.2 Nougat OS acts as the software of the smartphone. It is customised by the Xiaomi MIUI 9.5 skin to express the Xiaomi feel in full.
Regarding photography, a 12MP camera with the aid of a dual tone dual-LED flash executes images and videos from the rear. The front camera has a 5MP camera to serve similar function as the rear’s camera. For storage of files, you can either go for the 32GB internal storage or the 64GB variant. That said, the RAM also has a variance of 3GB and 4GB to sort out smooth running of apps.
Conclusively, Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is powered by a non-removable Li-Po 4,000mAh battery. This battery can charge really fast thanks to the Fast Charging 5V/2A technology available.
