Xiaomi Mi Smartphone
Just About Xiaomi Mi5 Smartphone Release Date, Specs, And Features - Xiaomi is one of best Chinese Smartphone vendor will release new exclusive smartphone product called Xiaomi Mi5. The Xiaomi Mi5 has officially entered production and is due to be released in February. Rumors point towards the Chinese flagship phone coming equipped with a next-gen Snapdragon 820 chipset, 3D touch technology and a bezel-less display. The latest leak reveals the device's specs through Geekbench. Read on for everything we know so far about the Xiaomi Mi5 price, release date, specs and features.



Xiaomi Mi5 release date and price

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - The latest leak, coming via Weibo on January 12, suggested that Xiaomi Mi5 release date will be February 20 and that the device will be launched the following day. The poster also claims that Foxconn factory workers are pulling heavy overtime to prepare enough stock of the Mi5 to meet what Xiaomi predicts will be heavy demand for the device. Xiaomi co-founder Li Wanqiang had already confirmed that the Mi5 had entered mass production via Weibo on January 6. 

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - An over-eager Oppomart product page (published, and then quickly removed, in December) listed the Xiaomi Mi5 price as US$599. That price is higher than expected (previous rumors suggested that the Mi5 would come in two variants costing US$311 and US$389), but the specs of the Mi5 do stack up favorably against other next-gen flagships, so there's still a saving to be had there.

Xiaomi Mi5 specs

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - According to gforgames.com, a renowned leakster suggested on November 5 that the Mi5 will carry the Snapdragon 820 chip. This was seemingly confirmed by a short-lived Oppomart listing in mid-December, which featured a short Xiaomi Mi5 specs list. The page was promptly removed, but GSMArena was on hand to pluck the details before it was too late. The product page said the Mi5 will have a Snapdragon 820 chip along with 4 GB RAM and a choice of 16, 64 or 128 GB of internal storage.

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - On January 17, specs leaked through Geekbench showing a 3 GB RAM device running what appears to be a Snapdragon 820 and Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
It scored a pleasing 2,182 in the single-core test and 4,892 in the multi-core test, which is a solid result, supporting the claim that the device is indeed powered by the Snapdragon 820.


Xiaomi Mi5 features

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - Leaked renders from Weibo (via phoneArena.com) show a physical home button, something that has never appeared on a Xiaomi device before.

Primarily, this indicates that the rumored ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is not going to become a reality. Xiaomi was said to be hoping to include Qualcomm's Snapdragon Sense ID 3D fingerprint technology. The tech specifically doesn't require the presence of a home button, because the sensor can be embedded anywhere, most practically in the device's screen.

It also looks as though the Mi5 will include 3D touch technology, which allows for pressure-sensitive interaction with the screen. This can be used to copy text with a light press and cut with a heavier press, for example. It also has a lot of implications for games, allowing for a great variety of options simply by pressing the screen with greater or lesser pressure.

Xiaomi Mi5 design

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - The TENAA images of the Xiaomi Mi5 Plus give us a very good idea of what to expect. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it will probably look very similar to the Xiaomi Mi4 – and, in turn, the iPhone. Another leak from December 8 (seen above) gives us our best look yet at the device's design.The extremely thin side bezels make it look like the Mi5 will be a very attractive device indeed.

The Mi5 Plus is set to have a Gorilla Glass 4 front and back, and aluminum sides by the looks of things, with the volume rocker and power button on the right side and SIM card slot on the left. It'll be just 6.95 mm thick, which leads us to think that the Xiaomi Mi5 will be even thinner.

Xiaomi Mi5 display

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - According to Weibo leaker KJuma, the Xiaomi Mi5 display will be a 5.2-inch offering with a 1440p (2,560 x 1,440 pixel) resolution. On paper, this will put the display on par with the best flagships smartphones out there. This speculation received further validation when Oppomart listed the Mi5 with a 2,560 x 1,440 pixel screen, although it put the screen size down as 5.5 inches.

Images coming through gforgames.com in early December show a bezel-less display on a device presumed to be the Mi5. The look is undeniably stunning, and if it proves true then it could make the Mi5 one of the most attractive devices out there.

Xiaomi Mi5 camera

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - The Mi5 will likely pack a 16 MP rear camera with LED flash, and a 6 MP front-facing snapper. Mobipicker described the 16 MP camera as a 'flip side' camera, suggesting that it will be hidden in the chassis by default and will pop out when you take photos using it. This sounds like an intriguing move and we'll be keeping a close eye on the Xiaomi Mi5 camera so we can find out more.

This speculation was dented by the Oppomart listing, which described the Mi5 as having a 20 MP rear camera and 8 MP front-facing camera.

Xiaomi Mi5 battery

Xiaomi Mi5 Release Date, Specs, Features - Based on the leaked specs, the Xiaomi Mi5 battery is now expected to pack 3,800 mAh of juice, which is plenty by today's standards. Of course, the battery's longevity will largely depend on the efficiency of the Snapdragon 820 chipset, which is likely to vary from handset to handset, as with its forebearer, the Snapdragon 810.
