Xiaomi recently unveiled the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro in India, both of these smartphones have been launched in the budget segment. Xiaomi kept its promise of unbeatable price and priced the devices very competitively.

While going through the build.prop file of the firmware, a developer found an interesting line of code “ro.treble.enabled=true”. This only means one thing that the Project Treble is enabled in this firmware and the device is compatible with Project Treble.
However, there are some things which we still don’t know. First, we don’t know when the device will get the Android 8.1 Oreo update.
