We are all eagerly waiting to experience the most anticipated mid-tier premium smartphone, the Redmi Note 5 from the Xiaomi. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 are the best smartphones that are available in the market (at the price tag they have been offered).
Recently, there were many rumours about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, however, there was no proof that made us believe that the mentioned phone is the that we are waiting. However, its almost confirm now that this is indeed the Redmi Note 5, the successor to the most successful franchise, the Redmi.
As soon as we saw the listings on the TENAA, we were disappointed. Firstly, the Redmi Note 5 still has a single camera with very dominant camera bump (first time in a Redmi lineup) and the bezels look ugly as hell, in fact, they look nothing like the actual renders, which will be a deal breaker for someone like us.
And even the build quality hasn’t improved at all, just like the last generation Redmi Note 4, the device still plastic parts on the top and the bottom portion of the smartphone, which acts as an antenna for the signal reception.
Coming to the bezel, this is the ugliest device that we have seen in the recent time, that too the white variant looks like a fake Galaxy S8 with a cheap looking design. So, go with the Black variant to be on the safer side, which almost hides the bezels.
As per the listing, the confirmed specifications for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 are as follows. The Redmi Note 5 will feature an 18:9 resolution screen with FHD+ resolution with a 5.99-inch screen size. The device will be powered by a massive 4000 mAh Li-ion battery and metal unibody design. In terms of operating system, the device is likely to feature Android Nougat 7.0 with custom UI MiUi version 9 on the top. In terms of RAM and storage, the device is expected to feature 3 GB or 4 GB RAM with 32 GB or 64 GB onboard flash storage.
There is a lot of confusion with respect to the chipset used, camera capability and other additional features.
