Xiaomi's own Wanqiang Li and Hugo Barra have both already confirmed that the MI 5 flagship is on its way, most likely scheduled for February 24 and it is definitely shaping up as an exciting offer.
We have already seen the phone depicted in renders and even a couple of live shots,
but we are yet to catch a glimpse of its glass back, until today, that
is. A new photo claims to depict the panel and a few things instantly
stand out. For one, the material has a pattern, which rumors failed to
reveal. Also, the part is Gold in color, which makes us wonder if other
variants will be available as well to go better with the Black, Pink and
White, cited for the Mi 5. We can't also fail to mention that the
leaked panel is obviously flat, which doesn’t fit well with the current
info that the back will be curved. Still, the two things aren't
necessarily incompatible. The back panel of the Samsung Galaxy Note5 is relatively flat as well when detached from the frame.
As for the specs on the Mi 5, we already had a pretty good idea what
to expect, but a new GFXBench listing now promises the full story.
According to the report, the Xiaomi Mi 5 will have a 5.7-inch, 1080p
display and will be powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 820 SoC. This
clearly contradicts the 5.5" and 5.2" size reports, as well as QHD
resolution, tossed around in the past. Memory will be set at 3GB for RAM
and 64GB for storage. We have also heard rumors of another 4GB version, as well as 16GB, 32GB and 128GB storage versions, but all are still largely unconfirmed.
GFXBench doesn’t mention anything about the camera setup, but from what we have heard, the Xiaomi Mi5 will have a 16MP main shooter with f/2.2 aperture and an 8MP one on the front. Other expected features include Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with GLONASS, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, BDS, OTG and NFC. The phone is shaping up as a single SIM offer and 4G LTE is a given.
Xiaomi's launch event is a few weeks away, but by some accounts, the
Mi 5 will also make an appearance at MWC 2016 in Barcelona, so,
hopefully, we can catch a first glimpse of the flagship then. It is too
early to talk about availability and pricing, but industry sources
suggest a price tag of around 2500 CNY.
