Like its siblings, the Redmi 5 is among the few budget smartphones that offer the new 18:9 all-screen display, and comes with three storage/ RAM variants in the country. For selfie fans, the smartphone has a selfie flash, while those looking for long-lasting usage will find the 3300mAh battery useful, the company says.
