Although it is not confirmed yet but it seems that the company is launching the Xiaomi Redmi 5 but we would only be guessing at this point in time. The launch ceremony is expected on 14 March, 2018.
On the other hand, the Xiaomi Redmi 5, launched in China comes with absolutely stunning features. So we are hoping device will carry out the same features in Asian market.
