The Redmi Note 5 was 'briefly' listed online
The listing hints at an upcoming launch

Redmi Note 5 seems set to be the next smartphone to be launched by Xiaomi as the handset was listed online for a brief period in China. A placeholder for the successor of Redmi Note 4 was spotted on JD.com, but without an image of the Redmi Note 5. However, the listing was removed soon after reports started pointing out the seemingly inadvertent leak. GizmoChina first spotted the listing of the Redmi Note 5 on JD.com and added that it will sport an edge-to-edge display. There were no specifications listed for the handset.

Xiaomi has announced reduction on price of its popular Redmi Note 4, and this may be one sign that hints at successor launch. The Redmi Note 4 has been one of the top selling smartphones for Xiaomi this year.

The listing also said that the handset will measure 158.5x75.4x8mm and weigh roughly 180 grams.
