Xiaomi has been delaying the Redmi 5 series launch for quite some time now, but finally, the company has revealed an official launch date. Both the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus were in the rumour mill for at least the last six months. In an MIUI ROM blog post, Xiaomi even confirmed three features- 18:9 display, soft-toned LED selfie-light, and larger battery will be the highlights of both the smartphones.

That said, it is confirmed that both the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus will have an 18:9 display, much like several other budget smartphones releasing these days. The Redmi 5 will be a successor to the popular Redmi 4 smartphone, and the Redmi 5 Plus will be a slightly better variant of the Redmi 5 in terms of specifications.

Yesterday, China Telecom, a Telecommunications provider in China revealed complete details about the Xiaomi Redmi 5. The Redmi 5 will come with 5.7-inch HD+ display and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset. Earlier rumours hinted the Redmi 5 would have a Snapdragon 450 chipset under the hood. Nothing is confirmed as of now, so we suggest to take this news with a pinch of salt.
