Xiaomi's next 5.1 mm thin Mi5 flagship tipped for Jan 15 launch
Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi looks all set to
unveil a new device, come January 15, 2015 and buzz has it that the alleged
device might just be the company's next flagship. If you head over to the Xiaomi's official website , you'll be treated with a poster that teases the
said device to be launched on January 15 at the National Conference Center in
Beijing.
Although the poster keeps you asking for more in
terms of what's in store, it playfully asks viewers to guess what kind of
device the company is set to reveal at the upcoming event.
Whatever be the case, one thing is sure, the
mysterious device looks all set to be razor thin for the company goes on to ask
"What does it look like? What is as thin as a cicada's wings?", in Mandarin,
dropping in the hint.
We have our bet firmly placed on the Mi5 flagship. A
new report (via Phone Arena) suggests that Xiaomi's next flagship is likely to
be extra slim and stand head to head with the slimmest of devices in the market
today. The report cites leaked images of the alleged Xiaomi Mi 5 in all its
glory sporting a razor thin aluminum body.
That's not all, the report goes on to reveal the
exact amount of thickness in store: 5.1mm to be precise. At the said thickness,
it's likely to stand along the Gionee Elife S5.1 and with Xiaomi's reputation
of packing in a power-house in its devices, it is likely to be a worthy beast
of sorts.
Rumour has it that Xiaomi's next flagship, the
alleged Mi 5 will sport a 5.2-inch Quad HD display with a 1440 x 2560 pixels
resolution. It is expected to be powered by either a Snapdragon 805 or
Snapdragon 810 SoC. Further, a 20/16MP primary camera and an 8MP secondary
snapper are on the cards.
