Price last checked: 10 Aug 2021. Confirm current price before buying.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM549, putting a Snapdragon 636 chipset and 4000 mAh battery within budget territory. The octa-core processor pairs with Adreno 509 graphics, enough for daily multitasking and casual gaming without much fuss. Its 5.99-inch IPS LCD runs at 1080 x 2160 with an 18:9 ratio, giving decent sharpness at around 403 ppi for the price bracket.
On the back sits a dual camera setup: a 12MP f/1.9 main sensor with dual pixel PDAF, backed by a 5MP depth sensor for portrait shots. The 13MP front camera handles selfies well enough for a phone in this range. Storage options go up to 4GB RAM with 64GB onboard, and there's microSD support if you need more room, though it shares the SIM slot.
That 4000 mAh battery is the real draw here, built to outlast a full day without needing a midday top-up. A rear fingerprint sensor, infrared blaster, and 5.0 Bluetooth round out a spec sheet that still holds up as a reliable secondary or entry-level device.
