The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 arrives with a tall 5.99” screen and Snapdragon 636. The chipset is coupled with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. The 13 MP selfie camera and the Android Oreo out of the box reveal this is the AI Dual Camera variant and not the Redmi Note 5 Pro version.

The phone will cost around KRW299,000 ($265) with carriers and retailers, but SK Telecom, for example, offers it as low as KRW69,000 ($60/€50), if you are willing to sign a contract. There are some gifts like Mi In-Ear headphones and Mi Pocket Speaker 2.
