The affordably priced duo marks the\u00a0first time that full screen display innovations have been introduced in the below SGD200\u00a0smartphone category, cementing Xiaomi&#8217;s commitment to providing the latest\u00a0smartphone technology at the most amazing prices.<\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi was the first technology company to bring the full screen display concept into the\u00a0mainstream with its groundbreaking Mi MIX in 2016. Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus now\u00a0deliver this same concept to a new wave of mobile users, allowing them to benefit from\u00a0the increased usable screen area while retaining a compact form factor.<\/p>\n<p>Redmi smartphones have always brought the best technology at amazing prices to\u00a0users worldwide. Other than the 18:9 display, Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus bring features\u00a0previously unseen in this category, including Qualcomm&#8217;s 14nm eight-core processors, large pixel (1.25\u03bcm) sensors for the main camera, front Selfie-light, as well as\u00a0long-lasting batteries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18:9 display with rounded corners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With 5.7-inch and 5.99-inch 18:9 displays that take up almost the entire front surface,\u00a0Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus provide a much larger viewing area compared with\u00a0traditional 16:9 screen displays. Specifically, compared to traditional 5.5-inch\u00a0smartphones, Redmi 5 Plus fits just as well in your hand, while offering 12.5% more\u00a0display area. This gives a better user experience whether users are reading news,\u00a0editing spreadsheets, or playing games on a smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Redmi 5\/Redmi 5 Plus have screens with rounded display corners and are\u00a0designed with close attention to symmetry, delivering a stunning appearance. They also\u00a0feature a four-sided curved design that gives users amazing hand-feel.<\/p>\n<p>Large 1.25\u03bcm pixels and front LED Selfie-light for natural, well-exposed photos\u00a0Redmi 5\/Redmi 5 Plus come with rear cameras sporting large 1.25\u03bcm-pixel sensors.<\/p>\n<p>The larger the pixels, the more light a sensor can capture, giving better image quality\u00a0even in situations when lighting conditions are not perfect.<\/p>\n<p>The front Selfie-light on Redmi 5\/Redmi 5 Plus allows users to capture beautiful selfies\u00a0even in low-light conditions. With an always-on mode, this also works when shooting\u00a0videos. Combined with Xiaomi&#8217;s Beautify 3.0, Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus deliver\u00a0flattering and natural selfies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Large battery and power-efficient Snapdragon chipset<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Battery life is one of the most important features on the Redmi series, and Redmi\u00a05\/Redmi 5 Plus continue this tradition with a built-in 3300\/4000 mAh battery. The\u00a0power-efficient 14nm Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets, coupled with enhancements in\u00a0MIUI 9, give Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus long battery lives that will easily last you\u00a0through a day. In fact, Redmi 5 Plus, which runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625\u00a0chipset, gets up to 14 hours of continuous video playback and nearly 8 hours of\u00a0continuous gaming on a single charge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flagship-level testing standards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi\u2019s Redmi series is widely recognized for high quality, a result of various factors\u00a0including the use of best-in-class suppliers, and extremely stringent reliability tests\u00a0comparable to those used for flagship devices.<\/p>\n<p>One example of Xiaomi\u2019s dedication to introducing the highest quality features on all its\u00a0devices is a design tailored to buffer the impact of any fall in the new Redmi 5 and\u00a0Redmi 5 Plus smartphones. With a reinforced structure, the likelihood of a broken\u00a0screen is reduced in cases when a user drops the smartphone, landing corner first.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, enhancements to the earpiece, including an additional waterproof layer,\u00a0help protect Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus from sweat and dust, reducing the likelihood of\u00a0the call volume dropping over time.<\/p>\n<p>Redmi 5 comes in two storage options of 2GB + 16GB version at SGD179 and 3GB +\u00a032GB version at SGD219. While Redmi 5 Plus comes in 3GB + 32GB version at 259\u00a0and 4GB + 64GB version at SGD299.<\/p>\n<p>Colored in black, gold and blue, the first sales for both versions of these devices will\u00a0begin on March 3, 2018 at Authorized Mi Stores offline as well as official Mi Store at\u00a0Lazada Online. The 3GB + 32GB version of Redmi 5 will also be available at Singtel,\u00a0M1 and Starhub.<\/p>\n<p>For additional information about Xiaomi, visit: http:\/\/blog.mi.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>******<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Xiaomi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi was founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneur Lei Jun based on the vision \u201cinnovation for<br \/>\neveryone\u201d.
