A New Class bezel-less with affordable price and pack with feature. Like Redmi Note 5 the redmi 5 come with likely same feature. Redmi 5 is more slim phone than Note 5. The feel great as it is more compact.

The Redmi 5, like its siblings, has an iterative design that makes it look exactly like a smaller Redmi Note 5. Well, that's not the first time I am saying this for a Redmi phone - the Redmi 4 resembled the Note 4.
The Redmi 5 has a good design and build quality for its price, but it doesn’t differentiate it from the design language that’s being followed for the last two years.
It's a good thing that the design on the Redmi 5 doesn’t look like a cheaper replica of a popular flagship, but it still fails excite us.
It is a solid phone, offers a great in-hand feel and can be used comfortably with just one hand, but it looks dull if you put it next to the Honor 9 lite.
I bring up the Honor 9 Lite because it's a perfect example of great design for its price. I am not saying Xiaomi should come up with a blingy phone, but my intention here is emphasise on the fact that consumers want phones that look different.
Despite sharing looks with its predecessor, the phone has some minor alterations. It is taller, wider, heavier and more sleek than the Redmi 4. The back looks a lot like the Redmi Note 5, with the camera housed right above the fingerprint sensor and not placed in the top left corner.
