Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 OS and power
Hottest leaks:
One of the major talking points of the new Redmi Note 5 specs leak is the processor. According to the latest set of leaks, the Redmi Note 5 is expected to be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor, featuring eight Cortex A53 cores.
These leaks come as a surprise, given Xiaomi’s penchant to use Snapdragon 625 chipset in several of its phones. As a successor, Xiaomi was expected to use Snapdragon 630 chipset in the Redmi Note 5. However, some leaks before had suggested that we could see Snapdragon 660 in the Redmi Note 5, but new rumors point at a slightly less powerful chipset.
Earlier, the TENNA listing showed that the smartphone will run a 2.0GHz octa-core processor which was expected to be either Snapdragon 660 or the Snapdragon 636. Xiaomi is expected to launch the Redmi Note 5 with Android 7.1.2 Nougat out of the box with MIUI 9 update on top of it.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 listed on Oppomart
Previously, a leak surfaced spotting Redmi Note 5 from a listing on Oppomart. The website has a page for the upcoming smartphone with a picture of the purported Note 5. The specifications from the listing say that the successor to the Redmi Note 4 will feature a 5.99-inch, 2160x1080 pixel display that will have an aspect ratio of 18:9. The Redmi Note 5 will come with narrow bezels on sides which is in line with the current trend of smartphones.
Furthermore, Oppomart says that the smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor which interestingly also powers the current generation of Redmi Note. This is unlikely as the latest, Snapdragon 630 processor has been announced by Qualcomm and Redmi Note 5 should come with it as well.
Additionally, we also see that the listing states that the Redmi Note 5 will come with a 12-megapixel rear and a 5-megapixel front facing camera. It will be available in RAM and memory variants of 3GB/4GB and 32GB/64GB. Oppomart also reveals that it will be powered by a 4,000 mAh battery which supports quick charge.
Alleged live pictures of Redmi Note 5 leaked
A user on SlashLeaks had posted a live picture of what seems like a Xiaomi smartphone with minimal bezels. The smartphone was rumoured to be the Redmi Note 5 but it remains unproven. The specifications are in-line with the oppomart listing where some features are unlikely to show up on the actual smartphone. This might be a prototype but it establishes one fact, that Xiaomi is gunning to launch a minimal bezel mid-range smartphone soon.
