Xiaomi has officially stated to be ready to launch the i two new XMUMX and Redmix XMUMX Plus smartphones on an event to be held on 7th December. In a sense, we already have clear in mind what will be the design and technical specifications of the two new devices but further new details have emerged online.
In particular, leaked the Xiaomi manual redmi 5 which reveals that the smartphone will have one Dual SIM hybrid configuration. Therefore, users will be able to use two SIMs or a single card at the same time and take advantage of memory expansion via micro SD. So far nothing original except the fact that there seems to be an annotation that suggests the fact of you can only leverage the 4G network on a single slot.
Also from the manual it is denoted that the Redmi 5 has positioned on the top frame three sensors, which means that the device will be equipped with a flash LED to combine with the selfie shots made by the front camera, on the style of Redmi Y1.
Another good news comes from Xiaomi herself, who has published an image on the Weibo microblogging platform, confirming that the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus will arrive with the latest MIUI 9 release based on the 7.1.2 Nougat Android operating system.
The Redmi 5 will present itself to the world with a display from 5,7 inches with a resolution of 1440 x 720 HD + pixels and an aspect ratio of 18: 9, with the abandonment of the classic soft touch keys replaced by those on display. Under the body the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor will be present, the first SoC of the 400 series to use one process technology with 14nm and so far only used on the Vivo V7 + smartphone.
The Snapdragon 450 uses octa-core A53 architecture clocked at up to 1,8 GHz. The baseband has been upgraded to X9 LTE while the GPU is the Adreno 506. The rest of the important functions have also been improved. Consequently, it offers a battery life of about 15% more with improved performance of 25%. Surely it will be less performing than the Snapdragon 625 but a entry level smartphone equipped with a Qualcomm CPU is something to be underestimated if not rare.
Even the Redmi 5 Plus should have a screen from 5.99 inches but resolution 2160 x 1080 pixel Full HD + and an aspect ratio of 18: 9. It will be powered by the processor Snapdragon 625, the same one that powers the Redmi Note 4 smartphone. The phone will come with a double camera on the back, with a 12 megapixel primary sensor and a 5 megapixel secondary sensor.
According to recent rumors, the Redmi 5 will be priced at the price of 699 Yuan (about 89 euro) while Redmi 5 Plus might have a price 999 Yuan (about 126 euro).
