Change in the battery capacity could possibly due to the change in design which is clear from the above image. It looks like the Xiaomi Redmi 5 will have a flat design with the curved sides gone.

Most of the other specs remain same, though. For instance, it will still have the same 5-inch HD display, 3GB/4GB of RAM (eMMC 5.1 LPDDR3), 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of ROM. And, the fingerprint scanner will remain on the back itself as well.
