Xiaomi will reportedly roll out the Redmi Note 5 Android Smartphone later this July. The latest leaked image of the device which was first reported by GSM Arena, indicated that the upcoming smartphone will come along with some impressive specs and features.
Impressive specs of the device
Xiaomi’s mobile device will be powered by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset or a Snapdragon 64-bit octa-core 630 processor. The smartphone will arrive with a 4GB of RAM and a 64GB of internal storage. The smartphone will run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat as well as the tech giant’s own MIUI 9 operating system.
According to BGR, the new leak of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 suggests that the smartphone may come with a 16MP rear shooter and a 13MP front snapper for selfies. However, the upcoming mobile device may arrive with a major upgrade to its camera setup as its predecessor featured a 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. However, the mobile device might also come along with a 5.5-inch IPS display with a 1080p resolution.
The leaked image of the upcoming handset seems to indicate a fingerprint scanner just underneath its display. This fingerprint scanner feature will also work as the smartphone’s home button.
The placement of the fingerprint scanner will be Xiaomi Redmi Note 5’s most notable feature. Unlike its predecessor and other Xiaomi mobile devices, the upcoming smartphone will reportedly be the tech company’s first handset to roll out with the feature.
Aside from that, the smartphone is purported to arrive with improved connectivity options, such as Bluetooth v5.0, USB Type-C 3.1 as well as the X12 LTE modem.
Xiaomi’s highly anticipated smartphone will boast a much sleeker design when compared to its predecessor, and it will come along with a full metal body design. The leak specs of the upcoming mobile device seem to indicate that the Redmi Note 5 will be Redmi Note 4 but a major upgraded version.
Despite being Redmi Note series’ newest device, the tech giant decided to reduce the battery of the forthcoming handset to 3,790mAh, whereas its predecessor boasted a huge 4,100mAh. The battery reduction was necessary to lessen the thickness of the smartphone down to 7.5mm. In spite of that, the added QuickCharge 3.0 or 4.0 will make up for the smaller battery.
Device's price
In terms of the smartphone’s price, the base model of the device with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage will have a $175 price tag. Tech enthusiasts who choose to upgrade to 4GB of memory will shell out $205 while upgrading to 64GB of RAM will cost $220. Nevertheless, the difference between the base model and the highest-end variant is only $45.
