Xiaomi Mi5 – All Facts and Specs we know so far

Xiaomi Roadmap 2015 has already confirmed that Xiaomi’s new flagship will launch on November 15. Now we see some new leaks, showing the new Xiaomi Mi5 including leaked case.  We have seen quite some leaked images so far and the image of the new Xiaomi Mi5 gets more clear.

Both of the new leaked pictures show the new Xiaomi Mi5 phone. The Mi5 looks great in those pictures without a doubt. What is really special about this design is that the Xiaomi Mi5 has extremely thin bezels. The bezels on the sides are nearly not there and also the bezels on top and bottom are very thin. This should give the new Xiami Mi5 an extremely good screen to body ratio.

At the moment there seems to be some discussion if Xiaomi is launching the Xiaomi Mi4S with MSM8996 chipset which is rumored to be the unreleased Snapdragon 820 in the November launch.While this is still up to discussion, from previous leaks we know a few points for sure about the new Xiaomi Flagship, the Xiaomi Mi5.

Xiaomi Mi5 Design: From all the reliable leaks we have seen so far and also from Xiaomi’s announcement poster we know that the new Xiaomi is going to be very slim. Probably you will see very thin bezels combined with a beautiful and slender design on the new Xiaomi Flagship.

Screen Size: From the reports and pictures we know that the new Xiaomi Mi5 is going to be significantly larger then the XIaomi Mi4. The Xiaomi Mi4 has a 5 inch size, which is admittedly a bit small against the competition in 2015. Most reports say that the new Xiaomi Mi5 will have a screen of 5.2-inch WQHD screen. Some analysts suggest, that Xiaomi is going to use Sapphire Glas, we doubt that part.

Processor: It seems to be clear that Xiaomi is staying with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Line for their newest Flagship. It is still unclear if Xiaomi is going to use the Snapdragon 810 or 820 for the Xiaomi Mi5. We personally hope that the Xiaomi Mi5 will come with Snapdragon 820 as the newest chipset in the late 2015. Normally we know Xiaomi is going for State of the Art Specs, so lets hope!

RAM: The real question here is, 3GB RAM or 4GB of RAM for the new Xiaomi Flagship. Most flagships, even in 2015 seem to go for the 3GB Variant, so logic seems to dictate that Xiaomi is following this way, especially considering price restrictions. On the other hand Asus showed us that a 4GB RAM variant of their newest Asus Zenfone 2 is possible. Xiaomi might just go crazy and go for a Xiaomi Mi5 with 4GB RAM. They have been known to surprise us all before.

Camera: Most reports and leaks so far have been quite silent about the Camera equipment of the Xiaomi Mi5. From Xiaomi’s announcements we know that the new Flagship Unique selling position is more on design and not Camera centric. Xiaomi Mi5 needs to compete though directly with Meizu’s MX4 and MX4 Pro. Anyhow, it still will work well with 20MP rear and 2MP front cam.

Fingerprint Sensor: We saw some leaks with a fingerprint sensor. We stay skeptical. Xiaomi knows how to listen to their fans and use their feedback for their newest phones. From what we can see fingerprint sensor is not really a feature that many fans long for.

What do you think? Do you like the new design? We will see the new Xiaomi Mi5 launched in the upcoming months – Very excited!
