#xiaomi redmi 5 plus specs

Xiaomi isn't stopping with the Redmi 5a as alongside their entry-level king, they're also announcing the official entry of the Redmi 5 Plus into the Philippine market. The Redmi 5 Plus is the company's latest mid-range device priced at just under Php 10k. Again, like the Redmi 5a, the Redmi 5 Plus has already been introduced locally, courtesy of our well-known resellers. This time, we're going to put it against another crowd favorite, the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. The Redmi 5 Plus, obviously, has a more powerful processor and bigger RAM option, putting it in the mid-range category. Both devices sport the same screen size but the Redmi 5 Plus has a higher resolution with Gorilla Glass. The Redmi 5 Plus, on the other hand, has an IR blaster which is a handy tool to have if you have plenty of IR-supported appliances at home. The Redmi 5 Plus is the clear winner when it comes to battery, but software-wise, the Nova 2 Lite takes the cake for having Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.
