Xiaomi debuted the Mi 5 and Mi 5 Pro earlier this year, and the company may think the Mi 5 needs a slight update to compete with the best smartphones that have been released since. So the Chinese company has scheduled a product launch event on September 27 where the Mi 5S is expected to be unveiled. From what has been revealed so far, is expected to equip with top of the line hardware. The Mi 5S is expected to feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 821 paired with 6GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The device is expected to pack in a 5.15-inch display and a 3,490 mAh battery.
We have got official confirmation that it will sport a dual rear camera arrangement like iPhone 7 Pro. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun outed the first ever camera sample for the Mi 5S on his Weibo account today. It definitely looks great, of course, because official camera samples from phone makers always look great. The EXIF data reveals it was shot with f/2.0 aperture, ISO 100, and 1/750s shutter speed. Oh, and the camera name field lists "Mi 5S", so this seems set in stone as the handset's moniker now.
Xiaomi will continue to be the 'value for money' champion we've known so far. The 5S will reportedly retail for CNY 1,999, meaning about $299 or €267 at the current exchange rates. For this amount of money, you'll get the SD821 chip, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage.
Another model called Mi 5S Plus will be priced at CNY 2,999 ($449, €401), and this will sport a 5.7-inch QHD display, 6GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, while retaining the SD821 SoC of course.
