Xiaomi Expected To Reveal the Mi 5 In February
The Xiaomi event which commenced on the 24th of November 2015, showcased two products – the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2. However, there was one more device people had been anticipating which was not revealed at the launch – the Mi 5.
The Mi 5 is expected to be the company’s next flagship phone and analyst Pan Jiutang has stated that the company is looking to release it after the country’s Spring Festival which takes place in February.
The analysis suggests that the last flagship phone was released 16 months back, and taking into account that Xiaomi takes about 12 to 18 months to develop its flagship phones, the time frame suggests the device will soon see the light of day.
Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi, has already mentioned that he is using the Mi 5 on a daily basis and has only good things to say about it. Further reports also mention that due to the rising demand of the phone, Xiaomi will be producing a lot of Xiaomi Mi 5 units.
A round up of the speculated specification for this phone tell us that the device could include a 5.2-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 820 SoC under the hood, a quad-core CPU and the Adreno 530 GPU. It could also come packed with a 4GB RAM with a 3000mAh battery.
