As expected, Xiaomi launched the Redmi 5 smartphone today in India. This is the same device that was first launched in December last year in China. It will be available in Black, Gold, Rose Gold, and Lake Blue color options. The Redmi 5 comes in 2GB, 3GB, and 4GB RAM variants and is priced at Rs. 7,499, Rs. 8,999, and Rs. 10,999 respectively. Apart from the smaller form factor and single LED flash on the rear, the Redmi 5 looks exactly similar to the recently launched Redmi Note 5.

Unlike the Redmi Note 5, the Redmi 5 comes with a metal finish body and plastic frame. The Redmi 5 is also said to be the slimmest Redmi smartphone ever launched.

It is powered by 14nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 octa-core processor coupled with Adreno 506 GPU.
