Silicone cases for the Xiaomi Mi5 show us a large phone with possible IR blaster.
Go back in time a few years and we saw plenty of protective cases launch for phones ahead of the device launch, these leaks gave us an early look at new phones, and were often accurate.
So is this image of a silicone case for the Xiaomi Mi5 an accurate representation of what Xiaomi will launch of the 15th? Let’s take a look at the evidence.
First of all the case looks like it has been made for a larger phone, possibly between 5.5-inch and 5.7-inch. 5.7-inch is what the rumoured 2k display on the Mi5 is believed to be so that adds up.
Gizchina News of the week
Looking at the case from the top down we see space for a possible IR blaster (like the Mi4) in the middle, and a tapered design which would be thinner than any previous Xiaomi to date. This all meets expectations of a thin phone from teasers.
The rest of the phone looks like a standard Xiaomi layout with the volume and power buttons on the left side, USB in the base and 3.5mm headphone jack at the very top.
Only 7 days until the Xiaomi live launch begins, and we can finally but these rumours to bed.
LOVELYYY!!!
is it just me or does the sample image of the phone inside the case have a curved capacitive button bar?
Would love to own this one though
did you know, paper can bend! that’s awesome! never though human could make such a thin material
You know, you could’ve been normal about, but you had to be a dickwad.
Wow, i making fun with sarcastic phrase without using any insult word, then suddenly you came insulting me.
I’m surprise human nowadays easily get offended
I’m not offended at all. I’m just saying you’re a dickwad.
I was just saying this because I like it somehow. I do know its paper.
But since the sample image isn’t perfect, they probably don’t know exactly how the mi5 will look like.
Yep noticed that too, but other sample images dont have it https://www.gizchina.com/2015/01/09/xiaomi-mi5-cases-spotted-china-confirm-xiaomis-latest-design/
Looks more like Hongmi Note2 than Mi5 To me.
It is maybe the Note 2, look at pictures for the backcover, camera is on the same position like the cover
I would say it’s either Note 2 or a Mi4+. Too early for them release Mi5.
