    That can not be true...
    The Redmi Note 5 would be a different device. I think it would be similar in specifications to Redmi Note 4 with SD435 Chipset (as per Xiaomi's previous practice of downgrading).

                One thing is certain Xiaomi became the largest smartphone seller in India due to the redmi note 4 sales. If they are just going to release the same old package as before get ready to go down. Bad movie Xiaomi, unless they've got something up their sleeve!

                  We need dual camera on Redmi note 5

                    Here's my preferred note: 6" display, 4k mAmp batt, 4/64gb memory, splash proof, USB C, stereo speaker, back camera placement -top corner, NFC & dedicated memory slot.

                      I think its high time that Redmi series got the brilliant and futureproof "USB C" Port. The entire Mi series has been switched, its high time each manufacturer switches over fully, so we will have a single common cable and charger for all connecting and charging needs across devices!!

                        Then Motorola has big chances of success with moto g6 plus featuring sd 630 and fast charging

                          As expected, the days of high end chipsets at rock bottom prices are behind Xiaomi

                            If Redmi 5 plus renamed as Redmi note 5 then it will be a big disaster.

                              Xiaomi has become greedy.

                                  If xiaomi really doing this shit so Xiaomi should forget about millions sale in days. 1 Million phones sale can be in 2 years

                                    If Nokia is smart, they can steal Xiaomi's thunder with the Nokia 6 (2018). They already won on the chipset side for a start

                                      Keep whining about 625 on a budget phone. Also Xiami deserves a blame too, releasing Note series every year with downgraded chipsets, so Yeah, people unhappy, but to keep cost down is very hard, considering it value series

                                        Woah, if this is true then its a bad news for xioami, heck mi a1 will still be a better buy than this still while being much older, i mean the only improvement is just 18:9 display, and that's it, no more improvements at all, that will be kind of dumb
