Xiaomi teased a 16 July event on Chinese social networking site Weibo. The device in the teaser is speculated to be the Xiaomi Mi 5.
According to a post on TechnoBuffalo , “The online invitation doesn’t reveal much, but it does offer what could be a first look at the Mi5. We see the super-thin profile of some sort or device with curved corners. It also appears to feature a metal frame or even a unibody design. It’s tough to say for sure, though we won’t have too wait much longer to find out.”
Leaks around the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5 and Mi 5 Plus just don’t seem to end. Earlier, an image had also surfaced on Weibo revealing the complete specs for the Mi 5 and Mi 5 Plus.
The Xiaomi Mi 5 is said to feature a 5.2-inch display, Gorilla Glass 4 protection and 2.5D edges. It will be powered by a Snapdragon 810 chipset, but there is no word on the RAM yet.
The Mi 5 is expected to run Android 5.1-based user interface, 16MP rear snapper and a 13MP front-facing camera. A 3000mAh battery is likely to fuel the device.
