LEAKS SUGGEST XIAOMI MI 5 TO BE POWERED BY SNAPDRAGON 820 SOC

Update: Xiaomi has been quite popular in these two years, and it has been the number one smartphone maker in their home country and been placed in the ‘World Top 5’ list within a small span of time. It has also been successful in other Asian markets like India, Malaysia, Singapore and others. Xiaomi announced ‘Mi 4i’ in a Global event in India, which first of its kind outside China.

It also launched ‘Mi Note Pro’ last week in China with 2K display and 64GB internal storage with a price tag of $483. Many of them are waiting for Xiaomi to launch its upcoming flagship ‘Mi 5’. There are few leaks around the Mi 5 since some time ago. The latest one among them is the inclusion of still unreleased Snapdragon 820 SoC.

The upcoming Mi 5 will use Snapdragon 820 chipset instead of earlier leaked Snapdragon 810 chipset. Based on the source, the Snapdragon 820 will be manufactured using a 14nm process, which is also used for Exynos 7420 chipsets that are used in Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. We don’t confirm this until there is an official confirmation from the company.

Coming to the specs of the Mi 5, it is expected to feature a 5.2-inch QHD (2560×1460) display, a 20.7MP rear camera and 2MP front-facing camera. It may also include a fingerprint scanner with the device and will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop based MIUI OS.

The previous year’s flagship Mi 4 is still a capable device in the high-end market, but the Mi 5 will be a noteworthy update. The Mi4 came with 5-inch FullHD display and powered by Snapdragon 801 SoC clocked at 2.5GHz with 3GB of RAM. It comes with two versions of 16GB and 64GB internal storage with no microSD card slot. The Mi 4 has a 13MP rear camera with dual-flash, 8MP front-facing camera and a 3080mAh battery.
We expect the Mi 5 to be launched by the end of 2015 or early 2016 and will confirm all the details of Mi 5 once there is information from trusted sources. Until then take this with a pinch of salt.
