Xiaomi shares press render of Redmi 5 & Redmi 5 Plus

Xiaomi will launch its next budget Redmi series phones at an event in China on December 7. Dubbed Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus, we have come across these device several times thanks to various leaks. And now just few days ahead of the official launch, Xiaomi has shared press render of these phones.

As seen in the official render, the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus will have Full screen display with minimal bezels on the sides. However, unlike vivo V7+, Honor 9i, Micromax Canvas Infinity which has no bezels on the side, the Redmi 5/Redmi 5 Plus do have minimal bezels on the sides. The phone also ditches the capacitive button in favor of on-screen buttons, even though there is enough space on the bottom chin.

The render also confirm that Redmi 5/5Plus will have all-metal unibody design at the rear and house the fingerprint scanner and single camera/flash unit. One the front the phone has a single camera along with a dedicated flash unit. At the top there's the 3.5mm headphone jack, secondary microphone alongside Infrared sensor. At the bottom sits microUSB port and speaker grill.

Xiaomi recently has adapted to three SIM slot design, so we can expect Redmi 5/5Plus to have dedicated slots for dual-SIM and microSD card. The specs of the phones are listed below.
