Xiaomi is due to launch the Mi 5 flagship phone at MWC 2016 but GizChina managed to get hold of some of the slides being used for its presentation.

So what have we got with the Mi 5 –

– 5.2-inch Full HD display
– Snapdragon 820 SoC clocked at 2.15 GHz
– 3 GB version with have 32gb storage and a 16MP camera with OIS and laser auto focus
– 4GB ram version will have 64gb storage and a 23 MP camera with Phase-Detection Auto-Focus, super-fast 0.05 focus speed, f/1.6 aperture.
– USB Type-C
– microSD expansion
– Cat. 10 LTE, dual-SIM
– Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0
– NFC
– 3,000 mAh battery

What is interesting is the 4Gb ram version with a 23MP camera with a f/1.6. This could be incredible is true. NFC and micro SD support is included along with USB Type C. Samsung is rumoured not to be using USB Type C with its new S7 flagship.

Could the Chinese now produce a flagship that is better than the competition? From my time with a Xiaomi Mi 4i and Mi Note Pro, not only was the hardware top notch but the software and software support was excellent too. I am excited to see this phone in the flesh!
