Is this the Redmi Note 5!?

Successor of the Redmi Note 4 / 4X series, Redmi Note 5 is a hot conversation among gadget lovers Xiaomi because its design is still a mystery. But, now that the veil has been revealed?

From GSMARENA - A pair of unannounced Xiaomi devices popped up on the Chinese certification authority's website, bearing the model numbers MET7 and MEE7. Both share identical specs sheets, including a trendy new ultra-wide, 18:9 panel and only differ in color, leading us to believe this might be the eagerly-anticipated Redmi Note 5.

We've already heard a lot about the next generation of the company's most popular, value-centric offer, but recent renders and leaks appear to agree on a dual main camera setup for the device. The two listings at TENNA both show a single snapper above an LED flash and a round fingerprint reader on the back of the phones.

The unannounced MET7/MEE7 measures 158.5 x 75.45 x 8.05 mm and weighs in at 179.5 grams. That is including the 18:9, 2160 x 1080 pixel, 5.99-inch, LCD display and a sizeable 4,000 mAh battery. Although not nearly as bezel-less as its Mi Mix 2 cousin, the phone does appear to have less plastic on the front than its predecessors and should look pretty good in all listed colors: Black, Gold, Rose Gold, While, Blue, Red, Pink, Gray and Silver.

The unit TENAA received is running on an undisclosed 2GHz, octa-core chipset, which sources are still debating over. It could be the MediaTek Helio P25, or a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630. Perhaps a Snapdragon 660, or even a choice between the latter two, depending on the selected tier. If this is, indeed the Redmi Note 5, that is. Those are claimed to be as follows:

The TENAA MET7/MEE7 listing also mention a 12MP rear camera with dual-tone LED flash and a 5MP selfie one. LTE and Dual-SIM support, with a hybrid slot to substitute one of the cards with a microSD memory expansion. Also a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, IR blaster, Dual-band Wi-Fi a/c, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS + GLONASS. All controlled by a MIUI 9 ROM, running on top of Android 7.1.2 Nougat.

So, will this be the real form of Redmi Note 5? We wait for the next certainty!
