Leaked official render confirms Redmi Note 5 Pro, Note 5 specs and design


Xiaomi is set to launch the Redmi Note 5 tomorrow. Buzz around the hugely popular Redmi Note series is high in India as the company prepares for an introduction of the 5th generation of the series. However, a lot of confusion has been brewing surrounding the variants. The latest reports suggested there will be a Redmi Note 5 Pro variant that will be revealed alongside the Redmi Note 5. And there is. Take a look below.

We’re giving you a first look at the official renders and spec sheet of both the Redmi Note 5 Pro & the Redmi Note 5. Most of our attention is centred around the Pro variant. The standard Note 5 seems to be just a renamed Redmi 5 Plus. These official renders are the real deal as they come a day ahead of launch.

    It looks globally great, especially the pro design. However in 2018 micro USB + 10 W charging power, even on the “pro” version, should be inadvisable !

              how can you be so blind to not notice that wtf are xiaomi trying to achieve with this niggard, thrifty, and pinch penny approach !

              they are being straight up ungenerous and misers !

              the rewarding feature set was what used to be the highlight of the Redmi Note series ! now they are just being cheapskates ! they are trying to keep as much to themselves as possible so we have to invest in their stupidly designed and HORRIBLY priced higher end phones !

              the display is just a trend, everyone’s doing FHD+ so why not xiaomi. the SoC … well, they OVERUSED the SD 625 for so long, an improvement was always in order !

              their cameras are more or less the same ! this dual cam is a GIMMICK ! the secondary 5mp camera will NOT make this a true dual cam setup, it’s just a software trick, nothing more !

              type C is the new standard and it should have been implemented in this variant !

              your phone won’t charge as fast and data transfer speeds won’t be optimal with the ageing micro USB 2.0 standard !

              KNOW STUFF BEFORE SPEAKING LIKE A BLIND FOOL !

    I see some elements of photoshopping tho. The misalignment of certain element and the inconsistency. I’d say 70% fake. There’s a probability of a Redmi Note 5 but this design and leak itself seems fake.

    Micro USB.. wtf, Xiaomi? Won’t be buying this, it’s 2018 and I’m used to rapid charging and data transfer. Disappointing.

    Its fake. Just look at the specs. They forgot to edit the gpu for snapdragon 636. Should be andreno 509 instead of 506

      Yeah, a rookie job. Gizchina’s editors are incapable of finding these things before publishing, sadly.
