Less than three weeks away from Xiaomi’s February 24 launch event for the Mi 5 and today we’re getting a better idea of what the handset will offer. On GFXBench, alleged specifications for the Mi 5 were revealed and perhaps most surprising the size of the display. The handset was originally believed to have a 5.2-inch display, but this benchmark shows its display being 5.7 inches. Xiaomi’s Mi Note series already features displays of that size, so it’d be a little confusing to see the Mi 5 have such a large display.
Hit the break and we’ll take a look at the alleged specifications.
The benchmark shows the display, measuring 5.7 inches, has Full HD (1920×1080) resolution. Even aside from the size being abnormally large for the series, it’s difficult to believe Xiaomi would pair Full HD resolution because quality (or pixel density, specifically) would suffer after being stretched. Having a 5.2-inch display would keep everything nice and tight for Full HD. If anything, Xiaomi would need to raise the resolution to Quad HD (2560×1440) to accommodate for 5.7 inches.
Xiaomi is also apparently going to be using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor, Adreno 530 GPU, 3GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. Both rear and front cameras were not identifiable, and GFXBench tells Phone Arena it’s possible Xiaomi blocked them on purpose.
Also, Android 6.0 Marshmallow was found running at the core. But, undoubtedly, Xiaomi will use its MIUI over stock Android.
The Mi 5 won’t be available in the United States, but consumers in the country seeking to get a Xiaomi device can purchase one through US Mobile. The carrier announced on Monday that it is selling Xiaomi and Meizu devices in the U.S.; however, Xiaomi quickly disapproved of any transactions because authorization was never provided. US Mobile has since stripped its webshop and said its just operating in the same way Amazon does.
