Xiaomi is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Redmi lineup of smartphones. On this occasion, the company's Global VP and India Head, Manu Kumar Jain tipped that they would bring a new Red color variant of an existing Redmi smartphone for their fans in the country. But it remains to be seen when exactly the launch of the red colored Redmi phone might happen.

While there is no word regarding which device will be launched in red, it is believed that it could be the Redmi Note 5. We say so as the company launched the Flame Red edition of the device in China last month. If this turns out to be true, then the Red color variant of the Redmi Note 5 will join the other color options - Magic Blue, Black, Gold, and Rose Gold.

And, the presence of a single camera lens at the rear makes us believe the same.
