Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus With 4GB RAM & More Launched in Pakistan

Xiaomi never fails to impress with its cheap yet great phones. Their mid-range lineup just got better and Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is now available to purchase in both 3/32 GB and 4/64 GB variants in Pakistan.

The Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is a jacked up successor of the popular Redmi 5 and is faster this time with a bigger display and the same classy design.

Design and Display

White Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus

The display unit on the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus is a 5.99-inch Full HD+ (1080x2160p) resolution IPS LCD and has an aspect ratio of 18:9. Compared to Redmi 5’s display, this one is slightly larger and has a sharper resolution. The ~76% screen-to-body ratio is almost the same as before too.

Other than the size, display, and processor the Redmi 5 Plus is almost the same as its predecessor and comes with a familiar rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The display has a protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass – however, Xiaomi has not specified the version.

Hardware and Storage

Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and is available in either 3 or 4 GB RAM.

The internal storage options are 32 GB (paired with 3 GB RAM) and 64 GB (paired with 4 GB RAM) but can be expanded up to 128 GB via a hybrid dual-SIM slot/microSD card slot.

Camera and Software

One of the differences between the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus is that the main camera can record up to 4K at 30 FPS, the former can only manage up to 1080p. Other than that, both the primary and front cameras are almost the same.

  • What about the launch of Redmi Note 5 pro? Does anyone knows that when is it going to be launched????

  • Stay away from anything other than pure/vanilla android or IOS.
    MIUI, Touch wiz and any other manipulation of android is an abomination.
    Stay away from cheap chinese products.
