Xiaomi will announce the Redmi 5 and the Redmi 5
Plus on December 7, but we already know the color options for the phones. The
company spokesperson Donovan Sung posted on Twitter a set of photos, revealing
the Redmi 5 will arrive in Black, Pink and Blue while the bigger version will
be available in Black and Gold.
The Xiaomi Redmi 5 phones are advertised as “A phone
for a thousand”, meaning it will cost CNY 1,000 or around US$ 150/€ 127. For this
price Xiaomi is expected to offer the Redmi 5 with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage
(but more powerful configurations are also on the way).
Other alleged specs include 5.7” FullView display
with HD+ resolution on the Redmi 5 and 6” tall screen with FullHD+ resolution
for the Plus variant. The OS was already confirmed by Xiaomi to be Android
Nougat 7.1.2 with stable MIUI 9 on top.
