6 days from now we will know the official specs of the Xiaomi Mi5, but tipsters are adamant that we shouldn’t have to wait that long with the release of the full specs.
Apparently someone has managed to get hold of the Xiaomi Mi5 packaging label which tells us the majority of the flagship phones specifications. The image shows a crumpled label (that may have been thrown away for being incorrect) which details that the Xiaomi Mi5 will have a 3000mAh battery and Snapdragon 820 processor among other details (see below).
Purported Xiaomi Mi5 Specifications
- Snapdragon 820 2.15Ghz chipset
- 5.15-inch display
- USB Type C
- 16 mega-pixel rear camera, with OIS and laser focus
- 4 mega-pixel (ultra-pixel) front camera
- 3000mAh battery
Features which really get my interest are the camera specs, plus the odd size screen. Generally 5-inch, 5.2-inch of 5.5-inch are the norm so why have Xiaomi gone to the extra effort of sourcing a slightly smaller display?
Gizchina News of the week
In addition to the specs of the phone, leaked images of the Xiaomi Mi5’s metal chassis have also appeared this morning, which might help explain the odd screen size.
The images show a chassis designed for a curved display. The design is similar to the Galaxy S6 Edge but the curvature of the panel isn’t quite as aggressive.
However, there is one detail of the chassis that has my spidey sense tingling. The chassis shows the power and volume rocker on the left side of the phone while Xiaomi always has these buttons on the right. This could be explained away if the images are some sort of Xray which have been reversed but I guess we will have to wait until next week to really find out.
Exactly my thoughts on that battery. The redmi note 3 series has 4000mah, so this phone should have at least the same capacity if it wants to pass as “flagship”.
Battery is smaller for the phone to be competitive with Oppo and Samsung in thickness.
3000MaH is plenty for a full day of heavy usage(considering that the display is smaller than 5.5 and is only FHD), from what I`ve heard the SD820 is not such a battery hog.
Not pleanty for me. On heavy usage it just drains in 8 hours. You talking nonsense
I’ll be disappointed if it’s 3000mah too. If you want sth good for heavy usage, ZUK Z1 is a pretty decent choice. I own it since day one. 4000mah battery and SD801 give me very good results.
If you play Asphalt 8 for two hours no wonder, it`s not a gaming console , or play youtube videos for over 3 hours a day for that matter.
You can always buy a good powerbank from Xiaomi for 50$.
According to Qualcomm SD820 consumes much less power than say SD801 and that did fine with a FHD screen and 3000mAh battery, on top of that battery technology has also improved as well as LCD’s now drain less battery than 3-4 years ago.
Don’t give a f*ck of Apple crap. I own mi4i, mi note 2/3, oneplus one and iuni n1 and in all of phones battery is a lack thing for me. None of them don’t hold a day long
I have a mi4i and i get a full day of battery so i dont have a problem with it granted i am at work and not playing with my phone apart from the 30 minutes i get for lunch break but off the charger at 6:30am and back on the charger at around 10pm i cant moan gets me through my train journery to and from work when i do reading music etc. it may not be great for you but its does not mean it does not work for others.
I have a Meizu Mx5 with a 3050mAh I get a full days of use out of it.
You are rigth about optimization, but it doesn’t erase the fact that IPhone users lurk around looking for a charge after some hours, we all have seen it. Hahaha, there should be a Maxx Iphone like Motorola did some time ago, hahaha
I cant wait anymore, this is gonna be day-one purchase. Though the 3000mah battery makes me worry, the same as in my mi4c and it doesnt really perform as well as i want it to.
