The Xiaomi Mi 5,
the Chinese tech firm's unannounced flagship smartphone, appears to
have been teased by the company on its Weibo account late last month. In the leaked image, the yet-to-be-announced Mi5 is seen sporting a design that looks like a merger of the original Xiaomi Mi 4C
and the Xiaomi Mi Note with a bezel-less display quite prominent, along
with a metallic frame. The Mi5 is kept in close proximity to Xiaomi's
Yeelight bedside lamp. Sadly, that's all the information that comes out
of the image. When questioned about Xiaomi Mi 5 during the launch of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Mi Pad 2,
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun revealed that the handset "is worth the wait" and is
"very, very good". Jun however, did not reveal when the company plans
to launch the Mi 5 but he did reveal that Xiaomi is revamping its
development cycle. This would result in a decrease of the time gap
between the launch of two smartphones. As per the latest leaks and
rumours, the Xiaomi Mi 5 is said to sport an octa-core Qualcomm
Snapdragon 810 v2.1 SoC, a processor family already seen on the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro.
It is also rumoured to use the Snapdragon 820 SoC. However, a separate
report had recently claimed that due to a delay in Qualcomm's Snapdragon
820 chipsets, Xiaomi may opt for MediaTek deca-core Helio X20
processor. Some of the purported innards of the Mi 5 include 4GB of RAM;
Adreno 530 GPU; a 5.3-inch QHD (1440x2560) pixels resolution display
with pixel density of 554ppi; 16GB or 64GB inbuilt storage variants with
no option for expandable storage; a 16-megapixel rear camera with
dual-LED flash, and a 3030mAh battery. Google has launched Android
6.0 Marshmallow operating system (OS). Android smartphone users are
keen to experience the latest OS and customers will hope that the Mi 5
comes pre-installed with the latest Android OS. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun
had recently revealed that the Mi5 is worth the wait and is very, very
good. however did not hint at a probable Xiaomi Mi5 release date. Source: http://www.xiaomidevice.com/blog/xiaomi-mi-5-specs-and-bezel-less-display-design-leaked/
