Known for cramming desirable features for a reasonable price, Xiaomi might have outdone itself with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. Flagship like performance owing to a brand-new processor, and a camera the likes of which has not been seen on any Xiaomi phone before, are just the tip of the iceberg with the device that was launched at an event on Wednesday.
Xiaomi will selling both Redmi Note 5 Pro and Redmi Note 5 on February 22. The devices will be available across Xiaomi's official website, Flipkart and even Mi Home. The company also promised that these devices will be made available in offline stores as well.
Earlier Redmi phones have been all-rounders with a major shortcoming, camera. This year, Xiaomi claims that it has not only improved the camera on the Redmi Note 5 but also made it the strongest selling point of the device. With the new processor and the all new optics, can this Redmi phone actually eat into the sales of more expensive phones like the OnePlus 5T? Let's check the details about Xiaomi's latest and greatest.
Xiaomi claims the camera on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is the best they have shipped in India. The device comes with the first dual-camera setup in a Redmi device. The primary camera is a 12MP shooter with Sony IMX486 sensor, coupled with a 5MP Samsung sensor for capturing depth information. The primary camera on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro comes with electronic image stabilisation (EIS) for video.
Along with the dual cameras, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro uses AI-based computing to create bokeh images, to detect the subjects better even in a cluttered surrounding. It will be interesting to see how the primary camera on Redmi Note 5 Pro compares to the one on Mi A1, the first Xiaomi phone to feature a dual camera setup.
The front camera houses a 20MP Sony IMX376 sensor, coupled with soft selfie flash to help with low-light selfie. The secondary camera, even with a single sensor, can take 'portrait selfies' using AI computing, another first for a Redmi device.
Both rear and front cameras feature Beautify 4.0 which have been optimised for India using deep learning.
The cherry on the top for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro will be Face Unlock, which uses AI-based computing. The Face Unlock feature works faster than the fingerprint sensor on the device, Xiaomi claims. The feature will be shipped in March this year through OTA update.
