I think Xiaomi is going to abandon the "Note" moniker and go on with "Plus" instead. However, there is no point to call it "Note". It doesn't have a pen, does it??! It's better to go apple way of naming. Even Samsung calls the pen-less bigger brother S8 Plus nowadays!!

    As per usual, very disappointing choice of weak chipsets... I seems that Xiaomi targets the high market and the very low market while abandoning the mid level market. Very sad.

      Redmi 5 plus 4000mAh large battery

          Deadpool , 07 Dec 2017I think it's gonna be a huge upgrade for whom who is using ... moreThere's no Mi Note 4, only Redmi Note 4 and it's not a huge upgrade at all since the chipset is the same for the Plus variant and a bit less powerful for the normal variant (SD450). The 18:9 display is the only feature that distinguishes it from the Note series

            Those bezels... How close are they to something like the note 8 or another flagship? Cuz the size in the pics seem too good to be true ... especially for the price

                            Oh nooo. I really hope that redmi series come with body like redmi 4 prime with 5.3 or 5.4 inch screen. I mean, just reduce the up and down bezels.
                            Now, with the redmi 5 plus, it's even way taller than redmi note 4x.
                            Sad.

                              AnonD-482637, 07 Dec 2017You can eliminate bezels with 16:9 too. It is just a gimmickCan't. The phone gets too square. There was a legitimate design case for 18:9, I mean apart from superior for ,essaging (taller screens in general)

                                Redmi 5 Plus will be my secondary phone if its battery score passed 100h mark.

The Huawei Honor 7X is 130$ more expensive and a 3340 mAh battery vs 4000 mAh on the Xiaomi. So i guess the price is right for both devices. Huawei better GPU and Camera and Xiaomi better battery life and quite cheaper.

                                        Why are they not launching it with Oreo, as these phone will sell in large numbers ,again nougat percentage will increase.
