A smartphone with a newfangled widescreen display (5.7" diagonally) is comparable in size to a 5.5-inch "classic". It was possible to keep the dimensions while increasing the screen area thanks to the reduced frames at the top and bottom. The picture on the display is displayed in HD + format, which corresponds to a resolution of 1440x720 pixels. Under the hood, the Xiaomi Redmi 5 16GB has an entry-level thunderstorm — the Snapdragon 450 chip, which provides the smartphone with nimble performance when fulfilling most of its goals. The amount of memory on board the device was distributed in the ratio of 2 GB of RAM against 16 GB of space in the built-in storage. It seems possible to expand the volume of data storage by eliminating the second SIM — a microSD standard drive is installed in th...e "seat" under the mobile operator's card. The device got the usual cameras for its class (13 MP at the rear and 5 MP with its own flash in front), a fingerprint scanner and a "trick" of Xiaomi smartphones — an infrared port for remote control of equipment.

Why do smartphones start to slow down and what amount of RAM is now considered optimal?Let's explore the reasons for the slowdown and the optimal amount of RAM for smartphones

The fifth generation of Redmi smartphones from the ambitious Chinese company Xiaomi has rightfully won the title of king of budget smartphones. The secret of the model’s high status lies in the balance of its technical characteristics and the use of a newfangled widescreen screen in the design.

Widescreen display

Xiaomi Redmi 5 has a 5.7-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, which forced the resolution of the displayed image to be increased to 1440x720 pixels. Despite the large diagonal, individual pixels on the screen are practically invisible, unless, of course, you specifically search for them. In addition, the display boasts natural color reproduction and a wide range of brightness.

Decent performance

The performance of the smartphone is no worse - among the available mobile devices, the Snapdragon 450 chip is perhaps the best solution at the time of the announcement of the fifth Redmi. The model shows quick responsiveness during normal use, but you shouldn’t expect miracles from it in demanding games. However, almost all of them run on medium and minimum graphics settings. The user has access to 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory, the latter figure can be increased by sacrificing the second SIM.

"Full stuffing"

The cameras in the smartphone's arsenal are represented by a good 12 MP main photo module and a 5 MP front camera with its own flash. They are good in their class, but with deteriorating lighting they do not show as high-quality results as when shooting during the day. In addition, the device has a fast fingerprint scanner and, following Xiaomi traditions, a built-in IR port for remote control of equipment. The whole thing runs under MIUI 9, a proprietary shell rolled on top of Android 7. The bottom line is that Xiaomi Redmi 5 will not disappoint, because in addition to its remarkable appearance, the smartphone quickly responds to all user actions.
