The Chinese tech giant has now officially unveiled
the Redmi Note 5 Flame Red colour variant. The new variant isn’t expected to be any different
from the regular model, except for the new paint job. A Flame Red coating would
give the variant a sexy look. With this new addition, the Redmi Note 5 is now
available in four different colour variants. The device was made available
during its launch in Black, Gold and Blue colour options.
Apart from the colour, the specifications will
remain the same which includes a 5.99-inch FHD+ Fullview display with a
resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and a 2.5D Curved glass on top. The device is
powered by a Snapdragon 636 chipset paired with 3GB/4GB RAM. The main highlight
of the Redmi Note 5 is perhaps the AI capable cameras it packs. The front panel
of the Redmi Note 5 includes a soft LED flash-enabled 13MP selfie camera that
carries support for AI portrait mode. The selfie camera also features pre-HDR
which allows it to intelligently detect the background light to capture amazing
selfie shots in dim-light conditions by accordingly configuring the front LED
flash. The front-facing camera can also capture full HD videos.
In addition, the Redmi Note 5 features an aluminium
unibody with an AI-driven dual rear camera arrangement at the top left corner. The
camera is stacked vertically with the LED flash sitting between both rear
shooters. The Redmi Note 5’s AI Dual Camera comprises a 12MP primary sensor
that has a pixel size of 1.4micron and f/1.9 aperture along with a 5MP
secondary depth of field sensor. It is equipped with features like dual
autofocus, EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization), HDR, Burst Mode and Panorama.
The dual rear cameras can also capture amazing AI driven portrait shots by
naturally blurring the background. Apart from shooting full HD videos, it can
also record 720p slow-motion videos. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint
sensor.
The new Redmi Note 5 Red variant is available in the
4GB 64GB variant and will retail for
1399 Yuan (US$ 213) in China. The model will go on sale across various platforms
