Xiaomi Redmi 5 With Snapdragon 450 SoC to Launch Globally in the Second Half of February

Xiaomi is now rumoured to launch its budget smartphone, the Xiaomi Redmi 5 in global markets in February. A new report says that the Redmi 5 will go global in the second half of February with LTE Band 20. For the unaware, the Redmi 5 launched in China arrived with FDD LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8. However, it is unknown which markets will get the smartphone first, but India being the primary market for the Chinese company, we may see it landing first in India itself.

To recall, Xiaomi launched the affordable 18:9 display smartphones, the Redmi 5 and the Redmi 5 Plus in China last month. Both the devices received a great reception from both media and consumers alike. But the company did not revealed its plans for making both the phones global though. In fact, rumours pointed out that the Redmi 5 Plus has replaced the Redmi Note 5 this year, which seems to be unbelievable at the moment because the Redmi Note 4 is the best selling smartphone in many countries.

But as per the leakster Roland Quandt, the Redmi 5 will launch globally in February, but sadly, he did not reveal any info about the Redmi 5 Plus though. A new leak recently pointed out that Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note 5 in Q2 2018 with Snapdragon 632 SoC. If that’s believed to be true, then Xiaomi will bring the Redmi 5 Plus to the Indian market, replacing the Redmi Note 4 because the former has the same hardware as the latter, sans the 18:9 display on the front.
