Xiaomi’s mystery smartphone leaked on TENAA

It is being speculated that the device will be the successor to the Redmi Note 4.  Along with the TENAA application came some images of the device. In a group of images, we get to see the phone in a shade of white and gold. It does look different from the Redmi Note 4, at least from the front. The smart phone features smaller bezels and a display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. 

The back of the phone looks similar to the Redmi Note 4, made out of metal. Also available is a rear camera along with LED Flash, apart from a fingerprint scanner on the rear that is clearly visible. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 might be the first phone to be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 636 processor. It packs an octa-core CPU along with Adreno 509 GPU. 

If reports are to be believed, the smartphone will have a dual-camera and a 5MP selfie shooter in the front. The phone is expected to come in three variants: one with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, another one with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage and lastly a high-end model with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The phone could be packed by a 4,000 mAh battery inside. 

With the phone being given an official certification, we expect to see the launch of the Redmi Note 5 to happen during the end of this year, or early 2018.
