Dual SIM, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Infrared and other connectivity options are expected to remain the same as before. It is expected to run on Android 7.1.2 Nougat with MIUI 9 on top.
Additionally, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 has also been leaked in a recent concept video and renders which show the dual rear camera setup along with 18:9 display. This suggests that Xiaomi could launch two variants of the phone in India just like the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus in China.
