At least they would have given 8mp front camera… 🙄5mp would be no helpful…and redmi 5 plus will directly compete with huawei honor 7x…. If it’s priced at 12-13k then also honor 7x has lead in camera department, coz its 2mp depth sensor and 16mp sensor works amazing together, maybe better than mi a1 sometimes… Mi a1’s only competition is honor 7x….
Nishant
In gaming and 4k video playback or recording redmi 5 plus (sd625)is winner and boys don’t care about camera department 19 20 chalta hai.

Well said, please tell Manu jain on Twitter that if Xiaomi does not launch Redmi 5 Plus, Huawei/Honor will take over Indian market, Honor now has 3 bezel less phones – 7X at 13k, 9i at 18k & View 10 at 28k (View 10 launching on 8 January in India). 2018 will all about bezel less phones
sammy
Indian people please request the Xiaomi India CEO Manu Jain to launch Redmi 5 Plus as soon as possible unless they don’t want to lose the mid segment market to Huawei/Honor. Indians please request Manu Jain on Twitter

you should not be worried as both are Chinese brands..only competition will push them to bring better products at lower price. its good for consumers. let them fight. look how competition has brought down data prices after Jio’s arrival.

The leaked redmi note 5, was actually redmi 5 plus.
And now iam sure that redmi note 5 will have dual camera and snapdragon 636 or 660 and 18:9 display, it’ll we be a killer once again.
