Xiaomi Redmi 5 PlusXiaomi India just sent out press invites for the launch of its first product of 2018 in India on February 14th. The invite just has the number ‘5’ along with the date, so it could be the Redmi 5 series that was introduced in China back in December last year or the company might surprise us with the Redmi Note 5.

Earlier rumors said that the Redmi 5 Plus might be launched globally as the Redmi Note 5, but recent rumors said that the company will have an Explorer Program before introducing the Redmi Note 5. However there was no explorer program till date.
