Impressions
Xiaomi is sticking to its old formula with the Redmi line-up. The 18:9 aspect ratio is certainly a welcome addition to this budget device. However, there is nothing to differentiate them from Xiaomi’s other line of phones. It is a good phone but it just lacks a stand-out feature which we have seen from other manufacturers this year even at this price point. Though the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus price in Nepal could be a decisive factor for consumers in Nepal.
So, is this the budget device you were eyeing for? Let us know in the comments below.
