One of the first smartphones with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor that will soon be available on the market is the Xiaomi MI5 and is expected to be announced next month.
Xiaomi's latest smartphone model dates back more than a year, but the Chinese company was forced to delay the launch of the MI5 in order to pack one of the best chipsets.
In fact, things are a bit unclear when it comes to the MI5, as some sources claim that the company is planning to launch a few versions with different chipsets inside.
The most expensive one could be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, while the cheaper version will be powered by MediaTek's Helio X10 CPU.
Even though the smartphone hasn't been officially announced yet, some news about the MI5 has just leaked online (via Gadgetzarena). It's the first time we've seen the bottom of the phone, which appears to feature a USB Type-C port.
There is still no Quad HD display for Xiaomi smartphones
As the smartphone comes with a large home button on the front, it is safe to assume that the MI5 will pack a fingerprint sensor under this button.
Rumors say that the MI5 comes with a 16-megapixel main camera, as well as an 8-megapixel camera on the front.
The smartphone may pack either 3GB or 4GB of RAM, depending on the model. The MI5 should also include 32GB or 64GB of internal storage, but there's no mention of a microSD card slot.
Last but not least, the Xiaomi MI5 is likely to be powered by a 3,600 mAh battery, and feature a 5.2-inch capacitive touchscreen that supports full HD (1080p) rather than Quad HD resolution.
