Redmi Note 5 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi A1, Nokia 6, Honor 9 Lite: Price, Specifications
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is one of the few smartphones with 6GB RAM under Rs. 18,000
Redmi Note 5 Pro has been launched in India in India complete with premium features such as a thin-bezel display and a dual rear camera setup in the budget segment. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro price in India starts at Rs. 13,999, and the smartphone comes in two different variants with 4GB and 6GB RAM options. Xiaomi has also provided tons of customisations on the Redmi Note 5 Pro, and features including Beautify 4.0 have been specifically optimised to meet the requirements of Indian users. We can safely say Xiaomi has launched what looks like a solid package on paper to take on other contenders under the same price bracket, including the Honor 9 Lite4GB RAM variant.
The base variant of the new Redmi Note handset has also apparently influenced other smartphone companies to bring new 4GB RAM models to survive in the market. HMD Global is the first such company, launching the Nokia 6 4GB RAM, 64GB storage variant in the Indian market to compete against the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Moreover, it is interesting to see that the new Xiaomi phone is making the competition tougher for the Mi A1, which is an existing hot-selling model by the Chinese brand, launched last year in collaboration with Google as a new Android One handset.
We take a look at the Redmi Note 5 Pro price in India, specifications, and features and compare them with those of the Mi A1, Nokia 6, Honor 9 Lite to help you decide the best option for you.
