TENAA spilled the beans on a new Xiaomi phone. Likely the Redmi Note 5

21 October 2017
The reported 18:9 aspect ration definitely hints at the eagerly anticipated Redmi Note 5, only minus a second main camera.

        wqcr, 25 Oct 2017Wholeheartedly agree. 16:9 was standardized for a reason. ... moreThis was something I never understood about the Galaxy s8. You got the edge to edge sides and then a black bar when watching videos (where the standard is 16:9)

          Anonymous, 22 Oct 2017Again the idiotic aspect ratio...Wholeheartedly agree.
          16:9 was standardized for a reason. 18:9 would be letterboxing all the time, and would lack height compared to same screen size as 16:9.
          Really quite dumb move, but then, all of mobile phone market are prone to making really bad decisions (hint hint, starting from no miniHDMI, no 2nd USB, no audio socket, no removable battery, hybrid sim slot, glass back, ......). What use is razor sharp thin phone without audio socket?

          And that's why we're getting 18:9 or 6:3.

                  AnonD-697758, 23 Oct 2017660/630 dont support 18:9 it has to be 636 thenThe VIVO X20 and X20 Plus models have an aspect ratio of 18:9 and a Snapdragon 660 as SoC ... The 636 can't be because it's maximum frequency is 1.8 Ghz and these phones are clocked at 2.0 Ghz. Search the specifications in the Qualcomm web.

                          Why don't manufacturers trying to make the phone smaller and more compact instead of making the screen bigger? For God's sake

                            well, all SD835 has integrated BT 5.0 but some of those phones are still listed as BT 4.2 because Nougat only support BT 4.2 officially. So, it's still possible that this phone use SD 630/660 SoC

                                I'm done with Xioami, after own so many series from entry level to premium.. Very weak camera quality & GPS connection. Is time to move on & bye2..

                                    Well, I have some mixed emotions. But let's hope that finally Xiaomi will opt for the better/best one...

                                        I think this is the Redmi 5 plus and not redmi note 5 as it was leaked earlier. Redmi 5 plus will probably feature a Snapdragon 450 and not the 6xx series.
