More leaked images have hit the web of the Xiaomi Meri, AKA the Xiaomi Mi5C!
After releasing the Xiaomi Mi5S and Mi5S Plus, Xiaomi are now rumoured to be working on a new budget Mi5C to replace the Mi4C from last year. The Xiaomi Mi4C hasn’t managed to grab much attention, but it was basically the ‘bread and butter’ version of Xiaomi’s flagship range of phones, the Mi5C looks set to build on that with new design and features.
Where as the previous phone was quite boxy the new Mi5C is a more attractive phone and dare we say it, more iPhone-esque. A 2.5D curved display dominates the front of the phone while the rear features an anodised alloy chassis.
Gizchina News of the week
We can see from these spy photos that the Xiaomi Mi5C has a similar fingerprint button as the Mi5S and that the overall design is a more classy one which better materials, thinner bezels and a slimmer overall size.
According to the leaked photos the Xiaomi Mi5C will have 3GB RAM, an octacore chipset running at 2.2Ghz and will be running Android 6.0.
Xiaomi haven’t announced when they plan to hold a launch for the Mi5C but it should be fairly soon and we expect that pricing could be as low as 1599 Yuan!
Flagship? “Xiaomi are now rumored to be working on a new budget Mi5C…”
999 yuan top.
classic xiaomi inconsistency, drop the hideous home button from the mi5 for the mi5s and make a decent shape one. Then reinstate it for this. May as well have no design language at all, their range is just a range of random phones all with different designs,
Absolutely. That’s why OPPO is taking over Xiaomi’s market although their prices are higher.
Every time their is a chance to moan about Xiaomi its good to know that things don’t change as you are always moaning about them. They are not going to put the mi5s fingerprint tech on a cheaper model as this is the little brother of the mi5. you have this thought pattern where all phones from the same brand have to look the same go buy meizu phones all their phones look the same and it totally and utterly boring they been pumping out the same design for years if you go on the website its dull
lol, nice cherry picking your example of meizu. Tell that to the the most valuable tech company in the world AKA apple. Ever notice how the iphone 5 doesnt look eaxctly the same as the 7 but still looks like an apple device? You’re chatting complete nonsense. Even others like Samsung, Moto, LG, Sony etc have some consistency in their design and their own ‘style’, this is the basics of how you build a recognizable brand with a recognizable style, I mean what would i know though i’ve only worked in design and branding for 15 years. Xiaomi could at least make the shape of the button the same, didn’t say it had to use the same tech. Also they have dropped the MI logo open front again, lack of consistency. Meizu U20 and U10 dont look like exctly like their other phones, look slightly different but still maintain meizu brand, meizu has other problems though. Also xiaomis market share and value has plummeted an insane amount in the last 2 years. And as @Lupo rightly says, funny how vivo and oppo who maintain very clear hardware brand style has gained huge markets share isn’t it?
There phones look the same there the only company in the world that can make the same phone 4 times over lets see 5, 5s and 5c (oh yep it was plastic)5se and lets get onto the 6 6s 7 the only thing they really did was add black please if you going to pick a company pick a non obvious one. Yes we know Xiaomi are a failure you say evertime they bring out phone like making their phone look simliar is going to save them simply put its not
