The leaked specs of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi5 show a powerful smartphone is on its way as Xiaomi is yet to introduce its latest innovation through the upcoming flagship.
Biometric scanners have been the new trend on high-end phones. And like any other flagship today, the Xiaomi Mi5 will be armed with the same feature, and will be the first flagship from the company to feature a fingerprint sensor which was developed by the Chinese phone manufacturer, according to Mobipicker
After the many issues that plagued the Snapdragon 810, Qualcomm recently announced its upgrade version the Snapdragon 820. The report from the tech publication went on to claim that it was the first upcoming flagship that has been confirmed to run on the unreleased Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and will be supported by a higher 4GB of RAM. While it will offer more room for storage with a 16GB or 64GB of an onboard storage. Its internal memory can be expanded too, but the maximum external storage capacity was not mentioned.
