The Redmi 5 has today received
TENAA's certification, a prerequisite for every device that's to be sold in
China. As usual, this means we have a couple of new images of the phone to look
at.
What's more, a pretty comprehensive list of specs
has been revealed by the certification authority too. The Redmi 5 will have a
5.7" 18:9 touchscreen with 1,440x720 resolution, and a 1.8 GHz octa-core
processor. On the rear will sit a 12 MP camera, while for selfies a 5 MP
shooter should do the trick.
The Redmi 5 runs Android 7.1.2 Nougat underneath
MIUI, and it will come in multiple configuration options, with 2/3/4GB of RAM
and 16/32/64GB of storage, with microSD expansion. It will be kept chugging
along by a 3,200 mAh battery.
The phone's dimensions are 151.8 x 72.8 x 7.7 mm,
and it weighs 157g. It will be offered in black, rose gold, gold, white, blue,
red, pink, gray, and silver - undoubtedly one of the most colorful handsets
we've seen in a long while. Xiaomi has already revealed that the Redmi 5 will
start at CNY 999 in China, which right now translates into US$ 151 or € 127.
