Xiaomi Redmi 5 Specifications, Image Leaked

Xiaomi recently unveiled the Redmi Note 4X smartphone in China, and now a new Redmi smartphone has been leaked on the Tenaa site. The smartphone with model number MAE136 has passed through the Chinese certification site. Chinese media claims that the device listed could be the Redmi 5 smartphone.

Xiaomi Today reports that the Tenaa listing provide a glimpse at the Redmi 5 smartphone design and key specifications. The device is seen sporting a metal build with rounded edges, and a fingerprint sensor at the back. The camera is placed on the top edge with the flash sitting beside it, while the Xiaomi Redmi 4 had the camera placed top centre. Capacitive navigation buttons sit below the display in the front, while volume and power buttons sit on the right edge

as for the specifications, the Redmi 5 is tipped to feature a 5-inch display, and pack a 4000mAh battery. It is expected to support dual-SIM functionality, and the dimensions allegedly measure at 141.3x69.6x8.9mm. Apart from this, nothing else has been revealed about the device as of yet.

A few speculate that this could just be the Redmi 4X smartphone, as Xiaomi is known for releasing many variants of a device before unleashing the successor. The Redmi 4X will sit comfortably next to the recently released Redmi Note 4X in the Xiaomi portfolio. However, this is all just speculation and the upgraded design seen in the Tenaa listin means this could well be the Redmi 5 smartphone.

While other tech giants like Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola are gearing up for the MWC 2017, Xiaomi has decided to skip it entirely. This could be because of the delay in launch of the Xiaomi Mi 6 smartphone. Samsung Galaxy S8, which is also tipped to sport the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset, is set to be the first device to launch with the SoC. This means that other manufacturers have to either compromise with an older SoC or delay the launch of their devices.

Samsung Galaxy S8 May Ship Without Home Button; Galaxy S8 Plus Rumoured to Sport Dual Cameras

As more and more rumours related to the Samsung Galaxy S8 come in, we can't help but notice the heavy inspiration taken from the Apple's latest offerings. Earlier we heard that the Galaxy S8 is expected to come with a pressure sensitive display - similar to Apple's 3D Touch - and now a fresh leak hints that the Galaxy S8 will come in two variants.
The new Samsung Galaxy S8 series smartphones will reportedly come in two display sizes - 5.7-inch and 6.2-inch - and the larger one will be called the Galaxy S8 Plus. Furthermore, the Samsung flagship will let go of the Home Button, another feature that is heavily rumoured for the iPhone 8.

A report from Korea (first spotted by Android Soul) claims that the prototypes of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus have been made, and the units have been sent to the CEO and Vice Chairman for approval. The Galaxy S8 has a single camera setup at the back because the tech was too costly to feature in the base model, but the larger Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus model dons the dual camera setup at the back - a first in the Samsung smartphone range, but similar to what we say with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

There's a lot of pressure on Samsung to get the Galaxy S8 flagship right, given its last year's misjudgment. In its rush to beat Apple, Samsung released Galaxy Note 7 sooner than its usual release cycle and paid heavily for it in the form of exploding battery problems.

The company has reportedly set a goal to ship 60 million Galaxy S8 units this year, much higher than the shipments of the last three years. Apart from the abovementioned features, Samsung is expected to remove the headphone jack from the Galaxy S8, once again, similar to the latest iPhone models.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus will reportedly not debut at MWC, and will instead be launched sometime in mid-April.

The alleged Nokia 8 smartphone has been tipped to come in two variants.The higher-end Nokia 8 variant will reportedly feature a Snapdragon 835 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM. Nokia 8 is further expected to sport a 24-megapixel rear camera with support for both optical and electronic image stabilisation. The Nokia 8 is tipped to sport a 12-megapixel shooter for taking selfies and dual-speakers are expected to be at front as well. The phone is rumoured to include either 64GB or 128GB storage options.

The lower-priced Nokia 8 variant has been tipped to pack a Snapdragon 821 SoC coupled with 4GB of RAM. The camera details on this variant of the phone are not yet available.

In the Nokia 8 video, no physical buttons can be seen at front of the smartphone, and the build seems to be quite similar to that of Nokia 6 smartphone that was recently launched by the company.

The Nokia 8 has been tipped to include Carl Zeiss optics, just like some of the earlier Nokia phones, and an HRM sticker further suggests that there might be heart-rate monitor functionality available with the phone.

As these are all leaks, we will have to wait for the official announcement from the company for any confirmation regarding the Nokia 8.
