The cheaper variant to the already affordable Xiaomi Redmi 5 has finally reached the Philippine shores.
For the first time ever, the Xiaomi Redmi 5 2GB/16GB version is now officially available in the Philippines. It will join the first Redmi 5 variant that was available in the country, which has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
But other than the upgraded memory and storage, it still rocks the same Snapdragon 450 processor and 5.7-inch 720p+ 18:9 aspect ratio screen.

At the front, there’s a 5-megapixel selfie camera while at the back is a 12-megapixel sensor for casual snaps. Xiaomi also equipped it with 3,300mAh battery. However, it only runs on a slightly outdated Android 7.1.2 Nougat with MIUI 9.
