Even if on the net we have been talking about Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 for a long time, Lei Jun's company has not played its cards yet, presenting this long awaited device to the public.
Personally I am convinced of the fact that Xiaomi has canceled the aforementioned smartphone from its plans to focus more on the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus presented about a month ago, but as reported poco ago by the Chinese colleagues of MyDrivers seems to contradict, and in a rather evident way, my hypotheses on Xiaomi's business strategies.
I use the term "it seems" because in cases like these you must be absolutely cautious, face all with a critical sense and thus avoid spreading false information and feeding false hopes in you. But let's proceed with order, you'll understand what I'm talking about in a short while.
Xiaomi Redmi Notes 5: does it really exist?
As usual, Xiaomi has launched a contest for the realization of themes for its MIUI, contest of which the announcement was made on a site referred to , promising we report the link and that, according to the editors of MyDrivers, is one of the many official portals related to the Chinese company.
So far, therefore, nothing strange, if it were not for the prizes that the first three classified in the contest can take home. As you can see thanks to Google translations, the prizes are up for grabs a Mi TV 4A from the value of 1999 yuan, the robot vacuum cleaner from 1699 yuan and (yes, you read right) a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 from the value of 699 yuan , about 90 euro at the current exchange rate.
Now, without prejudice to the official nature of the site in question and the absence of any error as reported on it, the facts lead us to see it all as the first concrete proof of the actual existence of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5.
Xiaomi Redmi Notes 5: the possible solution of the arcane!
As already stressed, however, we must address this news always critically and in this regard you agree with me when I say that such a device, which according to rumors will be in 18: 9 format and can boast the presence on board the Snapdragon 632 chip, it can never be offered at a list price like the one indicated above.
In my opinion, therefore, we are faced with a mistake, a specific oversight, which led the author of the post to forget an "A" in what probably had to be "Redmi Note 5A", device, among other things, actually sold to 699 yuan on the company's official website.
Unfortunately I do not have enough elements to substantiate my thesis, so the fateful question still continues to find no answer: will the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 ever be presented?
