Chinese wireless certification agency TENAA often holds preliminary specifications and images of upcoming smartphones before they are formally announced to the public. This time, the two latest smartphones are from Xiaomi under the model names MAE136 and MBE6A5.

According to the TENAA documents, both Xiaomi devices will each come with a 4000 mAh battery, dual-SIM slots, fingerprint sensor, and 13 MP and 5 MP rear and front cameras. The MAE136 will likely retail as the Redmi 5 or Redmi 5c based on its specifications while the MBE6A5 could be a larger "Plus" variant of the Redmi 5.
