Xiaomi Redmi 5A press render and specs leaked


Xiaomi's next affordable smartphone offering will be the successor of Redmi 4A. Called Redmi 5A,  press render of the device has hit the interweb along with its specs-sheet. 

The render show the Redmi 5A in Gold color, and the design is similar to that of Redmi 4A. It will sport a metal-unibody design and does not include a fingerprint scanner. That said, the body has received a few tweaks. The Redmi 4A had its speaker grille at the back, but on the Redmi 5A, the speakers are at the bottom. Also, the headphone jack is now located at the top.

Moving on to the specs, the Redmi 5A will get three new features compared to Redmi 4A. It will come with a bigger 5.5-inch HD display instead of 5-inch (Redmi 4A), and the battery has been slightly downgraded from 3120mAh (Redmi 4A) to 3080mAh. The last change is in the software, and the device will ship with MIUI 8 based Android Nougat instead of Marshmallow.

The other specs of Redmi 5A will be same as its predecessor, and include Snapdragon 425 chip, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage and 13MP/5MP (rear/front camera).

Surprisingly, even though the Redmi 5A has received a minor upgrade over the Redmi 4A, the price has been doubled. While the Redmi 4A was priced at CNY 499 ($74 | Rs. 5,000), the Redmi 5A is rumored to carry a price tag of CNY 999 ($149 | Rs. 9,600). Maybe it will be exclusive to China telecom companies or the pricing info is fake. Whatever, the case, take this news with a pinch of salt.
