No more OmniVision on all 3 or 4 cameras...at least Sammy .... Major win if Sony...

They need to challenge Meizu M6 Note cameras...

I'm sure they will come out with near to bezel less screen

SD660+6inch 18.9 screen Dual speaker , OLED display and Sammy Camera

SD626 or SD630 for sure.. Mi Note 3 already use SD660. Xiaomi are not gonna use SD660 for their redmi lineup coz SD660 chip basically SD820 minus Adreno 530

Most likely current user won't upgrade ..
If 630 or 660 maybe...

- 18:9 screen
- dual camera
- SD630 (better if SD660)
- 4GB RAM
- 64GB storage
- 4000mah battery
- usb type c
- fast charging

32gb internal? Are we going backward? But some users wouldn't mind if the price is reasonable.

If sd630, 4gb, 64gb price at 700 damn tempting..

Bonus if it's full view and dual lens.. 800
Confirm mid range killer. Selling like hot cakes

No price... not even announced.

Live leak:

Looks like still SD625.

Since last year Xiaomi known as "King of Hype"..

Not much upgrade in this case for Note 4 users...

Mi ai price now is 999...hopefully redmi note 5 is less than mi a1

Can't wait for launching
6inch lcd screen really useful, so I can let go my mi max 2 anytime

Seem like 100% will buy

Actually I'm not games kaki would you guys find it snapdragon 625 not fast enough?
For my opinion , getting 4GB ram should be smoother than 3gb ram.

Yup, xiaomi already adopted the longer sim tray (2 sim + sd slot) on Redmi note 5A model.

Maybe those high end model will stick with hybrid sim slot
