In recent times, the rate at which Xiaomi releases new smartphones has tremendously increased considering the time interval between which three high-end products (Xiaomi Mi 6, Xiaomi Mi MIX 2 and Xiaomi Mi Note 3) were released. With these Mi releases, Xiaomi should now turn its concentration to the Redmi series.
Today, some information on Weibo suggests that we should be expecting a new product from Xiaomi soon. The leak got pictures of the rumored machine box which shows that the new model will be called “Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus”. Well, it is most probable that this is the high version of Xiaomi Redmi 5 and if speculations materialize, then we should be expecting a standard version of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 and a low version of Xiaomi Redmi 5A.
The configuration of this device is not known for now but from the exposure of Redmi Note 5, it will most likely use a similar design. The Redmi Note 5 will probably use an integrated metal body design with antenna nano-injection molding process. It will use a 5.5-inch 1080p display and a dual rear camera setup. At the rear, it will sport a 16MP + 5MP camera coupled with a 12MP selfie snapper. This device will be powered by a MediaTek Helio P25 processor 3/4GB RAM and 16/32GB internal memory.
As for the speculated Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus, the display should be reduced to 5-inches while the rest of its configuration should not be too different from the Xiaomi Redmi 5. If the configuration of Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus significantly improves from the Redmi 4X, the pricing should be somewhere around the region of 899 Yuan. These are all speculations and it is only a matter of time before we get the real deal.
