After several leaks hinting at the
specifications of Xiaomi's upcoming
flagship, the Mi 5, a new report has
suggested the launch date of the
smartphone.
According to a Chinese website, IT168
(via Android Headlines), the Xiaomi Mi 5
might launch in October or November
this year. While the launch date is yet to
be confirmed by Xiaomi, it falls in line
with the previous report that hinted the
smartphone to feature Qualcomm
Snapdragon 820 SoC, which is yet to be
announced by the firm. A leaked
roadmap from earlier this month also
indicated the flagship to launch by
November 15 this year.
The report, besides the tentative launch
date of Mi 5, also mentioned the device
would equip a 5.5-inch display alongsid
4GB of RAM and 16GB or 64GB of inbuilt
storage. This however varies from the
recent leak that stated the handset to
house a 5.2-inch display. The latest
report also contradicts a report from
earlier this month that came via Weibo
and mentioned the Mi 5 to arrive in July.
Some of the other rumoured features of
the Xiaomi Mi 5 from previous leaks
include a fingerprint scanner, QHD
(1440x2560 pixels) resolution display,
16-megapixel rear camera, 8-megapixel
front-facing camera, and 3,000mAh
battery.
Previous reports have even mentioned
details of the rumoured Mi 5 Plus hands
that will supposedly launch alongside th
Mi 5. The phablet is expected to feature
6-inch QHD display with a design
sporting a nearly bezel-less display.
Other specifications include 4GB of RAM,
32GB of inbuilt storage, and a 16-
megapixel rear camera.
