The rumoured Mi Note 5 will be the successor of the Mi Note 3 (pictured above) 1o4169
Mi Note 5 smartphone may be launched alongside the Mi Note 5, Mi 8, and MIUI 10 may be accompanied by more products as the company is expected to launch more devices at the same event. While the Mi Band 3 has long been rumoured, there is a possibility of the launch of the Surge S2 SoC and a wireless charging pad.
Starting with the Xiaomi Mi Note 5, promotional material of the handset has surfaced on Chinese media, as reported by GizChina. The material, which has been leaked through an image, reveals the specifications and features of the new Mi Note model. It suggests that the smartphone features a 5.99-inch display with a Full Screen 2.0 design - likely to sport ultra-thin bezels. The image also mentions the Snapdragon 835 SoC, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. Likewise, there is four-axis optical image stabilisation (OIS). It is, however, unclear whether the phone will come with a dual rear camera setup or have a single image sensor on the back. The promotional material also points to 43 LTE band , which could make a global device.

The leaked image gives away the Mi Note 5 price - the 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage configuration will reportedly go on sale at CNY 2,299 (approximately Rs. 24,400). This is slightly lower than the launch price of the Mi Note 3 that went on sale in China with a starting price of CNY 2,499 (approximately Rs. 26,500).
It seems that instead of bringing the Mi Note 4 as the successor to the Mi Note 3, Xiaomi is ultimately set to bring the Mi Note 5 as its new Mi Note model. This move is similar to what skipping the Mi 7 name for its new flagship to favour the Mi 8 title.
Other rumoured Xiaomi products
Apart from the Mi Note 5, Xiaomi is presumably planning to launch some other new models next week. As first expected at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018. But the company hasn't revealed any information about its next silicon development.

With multiple launches at a single event, Xiaomi is apparently following in the footsteps of Apple and Google that both often bring various new offerings under one roof.
