Xiaomi has been far from dormant this year, with numerous product launches and expansions, and that’s great and all, but what everyone really wants is the latest iteration of the company’s flagship smartphone: the Mi5. Considering that the smartphone’s predecessor, the Mi4, launched in July last year, many were expecting the Mi5 to do the same thing this year, but a recent report out of China suggests that we’ll have to wait until November to get our hands on the device.
Xiaomi has been extremely active this year, the company has announced a number of smartphones and smart gadgets, and it seems like we’re going to see many more by the end of 2015. The latest handset this China-based company has introduced was the Mi 4i, which launched in India a couple of weeks back. Xiaomi has already introduced their Mi Note flagships back in January, but the most anticipated Xiaomi-branded device this year is their annual flagship, the Mi5. Speaking of this handset, we have some new info to share with you, read on. The Mi 4 launched in July last year, and many people think that its successor will also arrive in July. Several rumors have been pointing to June as the release month for Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship, while other reports have been pointing to October or November. Well, today’s rumor actually says that this handset will get unveiled in November (which goes hand-in-hand with some previous info) and that it will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 SoC, which hasn’t even been announced at this point. The 5.5-inch display is also mentioned, and according to the source, the handset will ship with 4GB of RAM and 16 or 64GB of internal storage (depending on the version you decided to purchase).
