The alleged specifications for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5smartphone were leaked last month and now the details about the Redmi Note 5A variant of the smartphone have surfaced on the Internet. The new variant of the smartphone has been tipped to be priced at CNY 999 (roughly Rs. 9,600) and will be made available for purchase starting August 21.

In terms of optics, the Redmi Note 5A has been tipped to come with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel camera at front for taking selfies. The handset is expected to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box. The Redmi Note 5 is expected to come with 16Gb built-in storage and feature a 3790mAh battery but the pared-down ‘5A’ variant is expected to house a 3080mAh battery. Redmi Note 5A has been tipped to measure 153×76.2×7.59mm and weigh 150 grams.
