What better way to start the week than an all new purported leak of the hotly anticipated Xiaomi Mi5.
Xiaomi revealed that they will be launching the Xiaomi Mi5 during 2 hour launch event to be held on the 24th February. Officially the company have been keeping details of the new flagship Mi a close guarded secret but company reps have already confirmed a Snapdragon 820 will be inside, while rumours have been filling in the blanks.
If we take all the rumours to be possible, then we could see 2 variants of the Xiaomi Mi5 launching during the Xiaomi event. Insiders say that one model will feature a curved glass front with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal memory, while a 4GB RAM 64GB memory version will feature a flatter design.
New Leaked Xiaomi Mi5
Externally the rumours get a little messy with competing designs showing up for the next gen Xiaomi.
This latest leak shows an all metal body, with camera located in the top left, single LED flash and 4 hole in the middle that could possible be for a charging cradle. The design is not dissimilar to the iPhone 6S, or one of the latest HTC phones.
Gizchina News of the week
A side image shows an opening to the left which could be for a SIM tray.
The base is where a single speaker, 3.5mm headphone jack and (oddly) a standard USB plug is found. The 3.5mm headphone jack shows minimal metal around the opening meaning a phone of 6mm thick or there abouts.
Finally we have the power and volume rocker positions on the right of the phone, in true Xiaomi fashion.
The big question here is are these images of the Xiaomi Mi5, another Xiaomi or are they fake. Our big concern is the use of a standard USB. Xiaomi have already used Type C on the Xiaomi Mi4c and we expect more modern devices and flagship phones to feature the new standard. Unless this is a new uber thin Redmi model, we’re not convinced this is really an Mi5. What do you think?
hopefully its fake ugly ulephone =)
You know that’s a Vivio or something, Xiaomi would risk looking too much like Apple.
haha, Xioami products look really similar to Apple (mini router and magic pad, power bank and iPod) but I agree, I really doubt this is a Xioami. My money is on a HTC
Hey, question for you. On the website, you’ve got a “story”—“Helio P10 Elephone M3 $199 with free shipping”. If one scrolls through the pictures, some show a round rear camera, others a square camera. Is this phone finalized? What is being sold?
The same person who published those pics admitted afterwards that this is an oppo device with a photoshopped mi logo in place of the original one!

Clearly photoshopped
Another week another fake Xiaomi leak. This is now about the 10th completely different design we have seen.
ok , thats it !
i know the mi5 is pretty much outta my range …. BUT , im gonna stop reading these posts now ! enough bull with the leaks … EVERY TIME its a freakin different render/design . kinda kills it for tech geeks , esp young ones !
the Mi5 has a birth date , i.e 24 Feb 2016 , lets wait for that and see how the much touted phone is in flesh !
everyone is following apple’s design. and then 2 year from now, all of them will follow iPhone 7 design.
None of the pic shows the front of the phone. If you look at the camera and flash area in last pic closely you will notice that it is just the metal body/case. I would say it’s just a RUMOUR!
No I am sure is not xiaomi , if yes then it is budget phone not flagship
November 23rd it’s OPPO R9 and now it’s Xiaomi Mi5 🙂 🙂 🙂
Looks fake
Not again, those ugly stripes! 🙁
I just don’t get it, why the hell someone would copy the most annoying feature of gayphones? Why?
more like redmi 3 pro/prime by xiaomi’s current standard
Bad placement of camera. Should be in the middle so fingers are less likely to get in way. Look at other phones. Don’t copy stupid iPhones.
I have had such problems trying hard to spread fingers outward. Fingers get tired if you are taking lots of pictures or holding position for a long time
Пошли в продажу уже по 400$ на aliexpress. Цена немножко кусается, но он того стоит!!!
