Xiaomi Redmi 5 review

Xiaomi's Redmi line has become synonymous with quality Android experience on a budget with a good reason. It is nearly impossible to beat the up and coming Chinese manufacturer's value propositions, especially if you live in a Xiaomi-covered market.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 Review: The Best Entry-Level Smartphone So Far - MySmartPrice

Xiaomi Redmi 5

Xiaomi's budget dominance continues. Xiaomi Redmi 5.

Big 18:9 display ; Fast fingerprint scanner ; Brilliant value for money

No waterproofing ; No NFC ; Low-resolution display

The Redmi 5 offers an impressive 18:9 screen along with decent internal tech for a bargain price, but it’s not officially available in the UK, so be prepared for some extra effort to get it running as expected.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 review: Average camera and confusing pricing aside, this entry-level smartphone is built to impress

Xiaomi's own Redmi Note 5 is its closest competitor.
