The Mi5 might be the first flagship smartphone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor to be announced next year.

The handset should have been unveiled by the end of this year, but because the Snapdragon 820 chipset is not ready until 2016, the Chinese company had to delay the smartphone.

Many Xiaomi fans probably know everything there is to know about the Mi5's specs since there have been quite a few details leaked in the last couple of weeks.

Still, here is something that we might not have been aware of before. It looks like Xiaomi Mi5 will be available in multiple color options, and when we're saying “multiple,” it's not just two or three colors.

According to a new report coming from TimeNews.co.uk, Xiaomi Mi5 will be available in at least four color options: black, gold, pink and white.

Pictures of each of these colors have been uploaded in the gallery, so you can take a look at what the Xiaomi Mi5 might look like when the Chinese company decides to unveil the device.

Probable specs

For those no up to date with the latest rumors about Xiaomi Mi5, here is a quick rundown of what the smartphone has to offer regarding specs.

As mentioned earlier, the Mi5 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, coupled with an Adreno 530 graphics processing unit and 4GB of RAM.

The handset is expected to sport a 5.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display that should support full HD (1080p) resolution. There are many speculations regarding the Mi5's display, as some sources claim Xiaomi might actually include a Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) screen inside the phone.

We won't know until Xiaomi Mi5 is officially unveiled. Also, rumor has it that Xiaomi Mi5 will pack a 16-megapixel camera on the back and a secondary 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

It will also come with a fingerprint sensor and a decent enough 3,030 mAh battery inside. There might be multiple Mi5 models announced next year, based on the amount of storage: 16GB and 64GB.
