Closely following the successful (and much-cloned) Xiaomi Mi4 are rumors about the upcoming Mi5.
Rumors included the launch of the phone at Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show in 2015, which Xiaomi has unfortunately denied holds truth. However, this did not stop information leaks on the anticipated new model.
From earlier reports, it is said that the Mi5 will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset running at its core. It will also be featuring a larger screen than its predecessor, sized at 5.7 inches, with QuadHD resolution display.
