Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Price in India, Specifications, Features Compared With Nokia 5, Moto G5 Plus, Honor 7X

Redmi Note 5 has entered the Indian market roughly a year after the Redmi Note 4 set the market ablaze, and thus will have huge shoes to fill. As Xiaomi’s new budget warrior, the Redmi Note 5 has its task cut out, and features a larger display with bezel-less design, large battery, and a camera that the company claims has improved over last year’s model. However, even as it has enough firepower – on paper at least – the new Redmi Note 5 will find the going a little tough as there is a lot of competition in the affordable segment. 

The Honor 7X 32GB was launched in India in December last year, and is one of the only few phones to feature a dual camera setup in this price segment. Motorola’s mid-range smartphone Moto G5 Plus was launched in India back in March 2017. The Nokia 5 was launched by HMD Global in India in June – it runs a stock version of Android, and recently got the Android 8.0 Oreo update. We take a look at the specifications and price in India of Redmi Note 5, Honor 7X 32GB, Moto G5 Plus and Nokia 5 to help you figure out which models will serve your purposes the best.
