On the camera side of things, the Xiaomi Redmi 5A offers a 13 MP camera on the back with support for 1,080p (at 30 frames per second) video capture and a 5 MP selfie snapper.
All this can be enjoyed for long hours courtesy of its 3,000 mAh battery, which happens to be a bit smaller than its predecessor Xiaomi Redmi 4A's 3,100 mAh pack.
Also coming to Europe are two variants of the Xiaomi Redmi 5, also a brand-new mobile offering from the Chinese company that is yet to be made official.
According to the rumor mill, this device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 and 630 processors with 16 GB and 32 GB configurations — and both are coming to Europe.
The former is paired with 3 GB of RAM while the latter comes with 4 GB. The Xiaomi Redmi 5 is rumored to come with a 4 GB and 64 GB combo, but this iteration is not expected to be made available in the region.
The third Xiaomi handset set to make its way to the region is the purported Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus, which is set to come with 32 GB and 64 GB models.
There is no word about the rest of the specs this device will have but it is imagined to be a beefed-up version of the Xiaomi Redmi 5, which means it could have a bigger display and increased RAM and battery.
It is yet to be announced when exactly the Xiaomi Redmi 5 smartphones will be officially launched in Europe, but it is said that not all countries in the region will see them in the flesh.
