Late last month, Xiaomi was rumoured to launch its budget smartphones- the Redmi 5, Redmi 5 Plus, and Redmi Note 5 before November 11. In China, several e-commerce portals conduct deals on smartphones and Xiaomi is looking to take advantage of the sale by launching new models.

A new report from mydrivers now states that Xiaomi will start teasing the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus today or tomorrow. Sadly, the company is not looking to launch the Redmi Note 5 as per the report. However, the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus will be up for sale on November 11 at affordable prices.
The report also revealed the specifications of both Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus. Both the devices are expected to feature 18:9 displays, in-line with most of the 2017 smartphones. The smaller Redmi 5 will feature a 5.7-inch HD display with a resolution of 720 × 1440 pixels. As it was rumoured earlier, the Redmi 5 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset, clubbed with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There might be a 4GB RAM variant as well.
The device is expected to come with a 12MP camera at the back, and a 5MP front-facing camera. The Redmi 5 will ship with Android 7.1.2 Nougat with MIUI 9 on top and the price of the smartphone will start from 799 Yuan.

Coming to the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus, it will be a bigger variant of the Redmi 5 with better specs on board. The Redmi 5 Plus will feature a larger 5.99-inch Full HD+ display with a resolution of 2160 × 1080 pixels. It will come preloaded with Android 7.1.2 Nougat based MIUI 9 and there will be a premium 4GB RAM and 64GB storage model.
