The Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro haven’t completely settled in the Indian market yet, and Xiaomi wants to add another one to the mix. In the launch video of MI TV 4A in India, Xiaomi teased an upcoming smartphone along with its unveiling date.

The outline is similar to Redmi Note 5 that was introduced in China as Redmi 5 Plus. So it is likely that Xiaomi may bring its Redmi 5, the successor of Redmi 4 to India.
