Xiaomi is definitely releasing a new smartphone this month, the Mi5 or Mi4s is likely to land in two week’s time. It has shown up on benchmarks, so the specs are more or less known, while some official looking leaked images have given the design away. However, something much more concrete arrived on my desk today as a Chinese retailer has started listing the device and has confirmed some of the specs.
The listing confirms that the Xiaomi Mi5 will have a 1440 x 2560 5.7-inch Quad HD screen with a blistering PPI of 515. It seems the Chinese company had decided against the new 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and has decided to stay with this generation’s 805, which features four Krait 450 cores and is clocked at 2.7GHz. It will be paired with 3GB of RAM and will come with either 16GB or 64GB storage options.
Other specs include a micro SD card slot, a 16 megapixel rear camera, an 8 megapixel front facing shooter, and a sizeable 3,600 mAh battery. There are no signs of LTE bands suitable for North America, so it seems Xiaomi will continue to ignore the US, unless another Mi5 variant is in the works (unlikely).
