Review Introduction While Xioami is a well know smartphone maker in countries like China, India and even some of the Western countries, the company is still a big stranger to many smartphone user in the African. Although, I have seen recent efforts by Xioami to make it products available in some African countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Botswana and Malawi via some third party dealers. Sadly only mid-range and rather aged Mi devices are available via the above means. Well, all thanks to GearBest.com for sending us a unit of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 for review, and ere is all you need to know about the Redmi 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LmJpQQ-sdU&t=47s So here are the highlights of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 5 Smartphone Specifications and Features OS: MIUI v9 based on Android 7.0 (Nougat) SIM Type: Dual Nano-SIMs Network Type: GSM/CDMA/WCDMA/TD-SCDMA/FDD-LTE/TDD-LTE Screen Size : 5.7-inch HD+ IPS display with 720 x 1440 pixels resolution (280 PPI) Processor Type: 1.8 GHz Snapdragon 450 Octa-core Cortex-A53 64-bit CPU Storage: 16 GB + 2GB RAM/32 GB + 3GB RAM External Storage: Dedicated microSD slot, with support up to 128 GB Camera: 12-Megapixel rear camera with single LED Flash and 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash Back-placed Fingerprint scanner Battery: 3300mAh Non-removable Battery Price: Starting at $127 Xiaomi Redmi 5 Camera Samples ![]() ![]() ![]() Xiaomi Redmi Review: Final Verdicts Apple will throttle the performance of your old iPhone, in order to encourage you to buy newer Apple iPhones. But that is not same with Xiaomi. In spite of how good the Redmi 4 was, Xiaomi was still able to add so much improvement and value to the Redmi 5 that will make owners of Redmi 4 wants to upgrade without throttling the performance of their phones. Talking about improvements, I am talking about: Xiaomi Redmi 5 Pros Great Built Qaulity Xiaomi Redmi 5 Cons Weaker screen color saturationSo in my opinion, if your smartphone budget falls around $120, and you are looking for a more frugal processor and fast OS to power your daily smartphone needs, you can confidently trust the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 in the Redmi 5 to do that for you.

yusasiv:Buy directly from trusted online stores, It will be delivered directly to you in Kwara, or you can order from Jumia. But then, it like buying internationally as most sellers on Jumia don't really have their advertised products in stock. |
