The Redmi 5 boots Android Nougat while the other two handsets boot Android Oreo OS. While the batteries are non-removable for all the handsets, the Redmi 5 lags behind with its 3,000 mAh battery as compared to the 4,000 mAh battery on both competitors.
Moto E5 vs Infinix Hot 6 Pro vs Redmi 5: Verdict
It is a close battle between the three phones. Xiaomi Redmi 4 used to have a massive battery, but for some reason, Xiaomi has reduced the battery capacity in the Redmi 5, which give the two other phones in this comparison a headstart. Both, the Infinix Hot 6 Pro and the Moto E5, have 4000mAh batteries for longer battery lives. The Redmi 5 takes the cake in the performance department, though, with a faster processor: Snapdragon 450.
If you want a dual-camera, you’ll have to go with the Infinix Hot 6 Pro. However, if you want the several useful software features from MIUI and Xiaomi’s excellent track record in offering its phones with software updates for years after their original release, you’ll be better off with the Redmi 5. If you don’t like MIUI, and prefer stock Android UI, the Moto E5 should be your choice.
