Xiaomi Redmi 5 Official Photos, Specs, Price revealed
Xiaomi is yet to unveil the Redmi 5 with really decent specs. According to the latest leaks, the Redmi 5 will be launched with a Snapdragon 630 octa-core CPU and 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM max option for just roughly $160 price (P8,000 – 9,000 pesos in PH).
Other options include the 3GB RAM + 16GB memory (microSD card up to 256GB) which is priced for $125 or almost P6,000. The model with 32GB internal storage gets a $150+ price.
Based on the details, the budget phone will feature 5-inch 1080p display and all-metal build. Meanwhile, the camera is a 16MP main snapper and the 5MP selfie is enough for most. Its battery is 3680mAh, and given the efficiency of the Snapdragon 630 chip, we expect the same longevity as to the Redmi 4’s 4100mAh juice.
As always, the Redmi 5 is 4G LTE-equipped and supports dual-SIM. It runs on the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS with MIUI 9.0 on top. Expect it to arrive later this July together with the Mi 6 Plus.
Regarding with the Philippines launch, there is no definite time for the official release, but you can buy the global variant from online stores later.
