The Redmi Note smartphone series from Xiaomi will add a new member to its family, and the new has been confirmed by the recently leaked slides of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 that summarize the key features of the device.
According to the leaked images, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 will feature a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with FullHD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution and continue with Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 and 660 SoC. A slide mentions both, evidently suggesting that Xiaomi will manufacture two variants – both SoC is anyway based on 14 nm processor, which should show us an improvement in terms of efficiency.
For optics, the Redmi Note 5 will flaunt a 16-megapixel rear autofocus camera with Sony IMX234 sensor, f/2.0 aperture, dual LED flash and PDAF (0.3 seconds to lock the focus). The front will have a 13-megapixel selfie shooter, while it packs 3790mAh battery that can also support QuickCharge 3.0 fast charging with the USB-C connector.
The battery capacity is reduced compared to the previous 4100mAh Redmi Note 4, but it is a choice that has made it possible to bring the thickness of the device just 7.5 mm (8.4 mm for the previous model).
The new Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 notes will be available in three variants, different in RAM and storage capacity: it starts from with 3GB / 32GB configuration and you get to the one with 4GB / 64GB. Check out Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 price below:
- 3GB RAM / 32GB ROM: CNY 1200 – approximately $175
- 4GB RAM / 32GB ROM: CNY 1400 – approximately $205
- 4GB RAM / 64GB ROM: CNY 1500 – approximately $220
Worth to mention that this information is derived from leak slides and is still missing the official announcement from the company. So, we must believe that it can be launched anytime sooner.
