If you consider the competition, the Honor 9i (review), the Moto G5S Plus (review), the Infinix Zero 5 (review) and Xiaomi`s own Mi A1 (review) come to mind, but nothing really comes close to the Redmi Note 5 Pro when it comes to offering everything in terms of dual cameras, 18:9 display, performance and battery life. At the end of the day, it boils down to the question - which phone offers the complete package. And I`d say that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro comes very, very close.
