One of the most popular Xiaomi phones is set to have its successor. Called Redmi 5A, the smartphone is expected to get a number of upgrades under the hood, while retaining its budget-friendly tag. Subject to numerous leaks in the past, the Redmi 4A successor has now been detailed in an official poster, revealing everything about its specifications.
Xiaomi Redmi 4A, being a budget smartphone, offers entry-level features such as a plastic body design and no fingerprint sensor. However, its successor Redmi 5A is unlikely to carry forth all of the old features as per the newly leaked poster. Spotted on Chinese website ithome.com, the smartphone is shown as sporting a metal body design, with antenna lines running at the top of rear panel. Other than the change in material, the design language remains similar to the Redmi 4A with speaker grille at the bottom of the rear panel and the camera with LED flash placed on the top left. 
One of the most interesting details from the poster is that Xiaomi is promising an 8-day standby battery life, which is pretty significant given the short-lived batteries in modern phones. According to GizmoChina, the promotional tagline for the phone roughly translates to ‘Lightweight and Long Battery Life’. The poster further reveals that the Redmi 5A will weigh 131.5 grams, and will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It will be one of the first set of Xiaomi phones to run on MIUI 9 out-of-the-box. 
According to past leaks, the phone will sport a 5-inch HD display, and run Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC under the hood. It is expected to include 2GB/3GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB of internal storage. Previous leaks also indicate that it will house a 3,000mAh battery, however, in light of the latest leaks, we might get to see a higher capacity battery when the company officially announces the phone on October 20.
