Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the ‘best selfie smartphone’ in India tomorrow. As it introduces a new smartphones series tomorrow, Xiaomi is also rumored to upgrade its Redmi series this month. The Redmi 5 Plus has been showing up on leaks quite frequently now. Now the device has been leaked yet again in what is claimed to be the smartphone’s hands-on photos.
Complementing past leaks, the Redmi 5 Plus is seen again with a tall edge-to-edge display. If rumors are to be believed, then the Redmi 5 Plus would be the first smartphone in the series with such a design. The leaked photos (via GizChina) further reveal a lit display with on-screen buttons making up for the lack of a home button. The design is similar to what we have seen before. What’s missing here is the rear panel’s design which has so far shown a dual-camera setup aligned vertically.
As far as specifications are concerned, the Redmi 5 Plus is rumored to feature a 5.9-inch full HD+ display with aspect ratio of 18:9. The smartphone will possibly be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 SoC paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. The suspected dual-camera setup on the Redmi 5 Plus will possibly be a combination of 12-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensors.
Along with the Redmi 5 Plus, Xiaomi is expected to launch the Redmi 5 as well which would be the lower variant of the two. The Redmi 5 is rumored to flaunt a 5.7-inch HD display with Snapdragon 450 SoC under its hood. The smartphone could pack 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
The expected pricing details of the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus have been leaked as well. The Redmi 5 is predicted to retail at RMB 799 (approximately Rs 7,900). The Redmi 5 Plus, on the other hand, could be priced at RMB 1,099 (approximately Rs 10,800).
