Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 May Arrive With the Unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC and Dual Rear Cameras in Q2 2018

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is one amongst the most-anticipated smartphones of 2018, and it is now rumoured that Xiaomi is indeed working on the smartphone internally. If a new report coming from China is to be believed, Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note 5 in Q2 2018, unlike the previous Redmi Note smartphones. Also, the device is said to pack the unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset, which is the primary reason behind the launch delay.

Xiaomi is waiting for Qualcomm to release the Snapdragon 632 chipset SoC officially, and immediately after that Xiaomi will launch the Redmi Note 5. Expect that Xiaomi will be the first one to make use of the Snapdragon 632 chipset on the Redmi Note 5.

Also, the Chinese publication MyDrivers revealed some information about the Snapdragon 632 chipset. The Snapdragon 632 SoC would be a minor downgrade over the Snapdragon 636 Soc, which Qualcomm announced back in October 2017. It is also said that chipset will make use of the Cortex A73 architecture and will be built on the 14nm manufacturing process. The clock speed will be lowered down to 1.8GHz, and the GPU clock speed may be reduced as well.

Recently, an MIUI forum super moderator claimed that Xiaomi will not release the Redmi Note 5 smartphone this year, instead, the Redmi 5 Plus will act as the Redmi Note 5 for this year. However, this report says that the Redmi Note 5 will be launched this year, but we may not see the device until Q2 2018.
