14 DAY TRIAL // One of the first smartphones powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor that will be available on the market, the Xiaomi Mi5, is expected to be announced next month.
The last Xiaomi flagship device dates from more than a year ago, but the Chinese company was forced to delay the launch of the Mi5 in order to pack one of the best chipsets soon to be available on the market, Snapdragon 820.
In fact, things are a bit unclear when it comes to Mi5, as some sources claim Xiaomi plans to launch a few versions with different chipsets inside.
The most expensive could be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor while the cheaper version should be powered by MediaTek's Helio X10 CPU.
Even though the phone hasn't been officially announced yet, a few new renders of the Mi5 have just leaked online (via Gadgetzarena).
These are some of the best-looking pictures showing the Xiaomi M5. It's also the first time that we see the bottom side of the smartphone, which appears to feature a Type-C USB port.
Still no Quad HD display for Xiaomi's flagship smartphone
Since the handset comes with a long physical Home button on the front, it's safe to assume that the Mi5 will pack a fingerprint sensor under this button.
Rumor has it that Xiaomi Mi5 will come with a 16-megapixel main camera, as well as an 8-megapixel camera on the front.
The smartphone may pack either 3GB or 4GB of RAM, depending on the model. Also, the Mi5 should sport 32GB or 64GB of internal memory, but there's no mention of microSD card slot.
Last but not least, Xiaomi Mi5 is likely to be powered by a 3,600 mAh battery, and it should sport a 5.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) rather than Quad HD resolution.
