    Lol, it is redmi note 5. They can change whatever the name in certain market. In Indonesia, they call those redmi Y as redmi note 5a so most certainly they will call this note 5 later on

      I think Xiaomi will introduce mi note series by killing redmi note series

        Well, for all fans, general customers & Xiaomi itself (themselves), I definitely hope that this will turn out to be completely wrong. For so so many reasons, but in a nutshell, because the Redmi 5 Plus is absolutely 100% NOT a honourable successor of/for the Redmi Note 4/MTK/X...

          If xiaomi wanted this to be note 4 successor, couldn't they have chosen type c and snapdragon 630 at least? Sheesh.... I think I'll consider other brands from now on

                they know afew people going to buy THIS TWO REDMI 5
                so they spent alot of money for advertising
                but with alot of advertising, still people waiting for RN5
                & now they decide to release this news ad unofficial

                where is that people of xiaomi, coming to here & put comment & say: REDMI NOTE SERIES are about bread & butter for xiaomi in india & xiaomi will never replace or cancel this series with anything else

                they keep silent

                    sadeepaT, 20 Dec 2017I dont think this news is true.i think they try to sell thi... moreyeah you are right, Its Business Staturgy, to clear out the stock.

                      Moderator's on MiUI forums don't know shit.
                      It's highly unlikely & would be really stupid to kill the best sellers of all times.

                        I dont think this news is true.i think they try to sell this by saying(not officially) there will be no Note and , the ones who are waiting for note 5 will buy this. (its something like the oneplus did with 5 and the 5T. They said there will be no 5T bcoz if they told there will be a 5T , and the sales of the 5 will drop )

                        and if this is True, i cant imagine how dumb the company is bcoz they are killing their top selling mobile phone line.
                        I would say the end of Xiaomi Starts right now :( (if the news true)

                          Who cares about the chipsets? When you have 8 cores you can do whatever you want. If you have 3 Gigs of RAM you can do whatever you want. 4 is better, because in 6 months 3 won't be enough. The most important is the design and the price. Xiaomi offers great value for money. Unfortunately I care about the form factor. That's why I am dissapointed. If you want huge phone you can buy tons of 5.5, 6 and more inches. There are tons of tablets, TV's. If you are dissapointed there won't be Redmi Note 5, buy 42 inch smart TV.
                          But if you want to buy a small device, the best you can do is to find second hand Mi 2.

                            krishk, 20 Dec 2017Then.... Am waiting for MI Max 3 with Bezel less design. E... moreDude maybe Mi Max 3 also will be cancel by Xiaomi and if this Mi Max 3 been produce by Xiaomi it may come with Snapdragon 625 as it chipset. I believe Xiaomi will continue to make phone with SD625 in 2018 because they has bought it in zillions. I wish this SD625 never been existed. After the departure of Hugo Barra, Xiaomi is moving backward.

                              Not good news.

                              Xiaomi Mi 6X? With iPhone X style camera and rear fingerprint?

                              Definitely someone is losing the north at Xiaomi. We'll see.

                                    doubt name would make a difference in this dynamic market... following the trend of plus is good.... but issue is processor and spec. horrible of xiaomi to release fone with old processors ... old hardware.... this is bigger let down... better CPU GPU cameras at reasonable prices was expected....

                                      This rumor is baseless Note series launch every year in January so wait more for 1 month
                                      but if Xiaomi really doing this so huawei take xiaomi's place...
                                      Huawei already launched many mid range devices like (mate 10 lite, honor 7x, p9 lite mini, nota 2s, Enjoy 7s)

                                        launching smartphone in 2018 with sd 625 is insane atleast we want sd 630
