[LEAK] Xiaomi Mi5 specifications leaked 7 days prior to launch !!

 

6 days from now we will know the official specs of the Xiaomi Mi5, but tipsters are adamant that we shouldn’t have to wait that long with the release of the full specs.

Until the official release we have got a little teaser for all of you. Some of the specs of the much awaited Mi 5 are.

Purported Xiaomi Mi5 Specifications

• Snapdragon 820 2.15Ghz chipset
• 5.15-inch display
• USB Type C
• 16 mega-pixel rear camera, with OIS and laser focus
• 4 mega-pixel (ultra-pixel) front camera
• 3000mAh battery

Your idea of fast is now just a blast from the past. We have confirmed that Mi 5 comes with Qualcomm's most powerful processor Snapdragon 820 combined with everyone's favourite choice MIUI. In MIUI, optimization of the hardwares and the system are our main concern to provide a great and smooth user's experience. Xiaomi strives to produce a superb responsive, lightning fast and lagless device.

The images shown in this article are apparently from the presentation file for the Xiaomi Mi5 launch scheduled for next week. It’s worth noting that some of the hardware listed in the slides differs slightly from today’s earlier leak, but this might be explained be the fact that two versions of the Mi5 are mentioned here.

Going through the features there are some very nice and surprising features that are surely going to make a lot of Chinese smartphone fans pretty excited. First of all the details given here state that the Xiaomi Mi5 will have a micro SD card expansion tray! This feature alone is enough to peak many peoples interest and is a feature that flagship phone shoppers have demanded for years.

In addition to SD card support there will be dual SIM, and full network support for all Chinese networks (meaning there won’t be a China Mobile version launched first leaving international customers waiting for the FDD version to go on sale).

Another nice addition is the inclusion of NFC. Xiaomi ditched NFC in their phones after the Mi3, but we are seeing the feature making a come back this year thanks to Google’s Pay feature.

An IR remote is believed to be part of the Xiaomi Mi5 package too and will work with over 10 categories of product and be compatible with a total of 2000 products.

There is even an image of the Xiaomi Mi5 in the slides showing a phone with 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080 display and physical home button. The phone apparently has a thickness of 6.35mm (144.3 x 70.2 x 6.35mm) which would explain the 3000mAh battery spotted in earlier reports.

Two variants of the Xiaomi Mi5 are listed with a base model having 3GB RAM and 32GB memory, while the top of the range has 4GB RAM and 64GB memory. These differences might also explain the difference in camera specs were seeing, perhaps the base model has a 16MP camera while the flagship version gets a 26 mega-pixel(assumption).Speaking of the camera, the details here include a 26 mega-pixel sensor with PDAF and F1.6 aperture! That’s one of the largest we have seen on a mobile device so far!

Final pieces of the puzzle are Snapdragon 820, USB Type C 3.0, and Qualcomm 3.0 fast charging, and a release date to buy the Xiaomi Mi5 on the 26th Feb!
