Xiaomi has already announced that it will be launching a new product on the February 14 in India. The company has started sending out media invites with a teaser that shows number ‘5’. Now, according to a report, the company might launch the successor for best-selling Redmi Note 4 smartphone.
As per a report by Techook, Xiaomi might launch Redmi Note 5 in India on the said date. The publication found some clues in the Javascript code on the event page of company’s official website that reveals a title ‘redminote5’. The report further reveals another screenshot of the handset teaser image, which shows the URL of the image, that shows the Redmi Note 5 name as well. However, the company has removed all the reference from the website at the time of writing.
The report further mentions that the meta description of the event page reads, “Presenting the all-rounder #GiveMe5.” To recall, during the launch of Redmi Note 4 in India, the brand used the tag ‘allrounder’ as it unveiled at the hands of Indian cricket all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja. So, using the same tag hints that the company is planning to bring the successor of the Redmi Note 4.
To recollect some rumoured specifications, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is said to have an 18:9 display. Multiple reports suggest that the smartphone could be powered by a 2.0GHz 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 octa-core processor. The phone might come with a 32GB/64GB internal storage. The smartphone could runs on Android 7.1 Nougat operating system with MIUI 9 on top and it could sport a big battery backup, similar to what we have seen in the Redmi Note 4. Other rumours claim that the smartphone will also carry support for facial recognition.
