Rumors about the Xiaomi Mi 5 have been ramping up since it first leak a few months ago.
Today, an unnamed source posted on Wiebo a live image of the upcoming flagship device.

However, the Xiaomi Mi 5 appears to have a slimmer bezel. It also noted that the live image do not match the leaked press render. So, it's still early to debunk previous rumored details of the Mi 5.
Phone Arena added, the Xiaomi Mi 5 alleged live image features two speakers grilles below the physical home button.
Reportedly, Xiaomi Mi 5 will be the first smartphone to carry Qualcomm's Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. But with the presence of a physical home button this rumor has been ruled out.
Anaylyst Pan Jutang claimed, Xiaomi opted for an FPC fingerprint sensor instead of Qualcomm's. Because Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is still unstable.
However, it functions better as "they do not need buttons or sensors to function, not to mention that they can be placed under a device's screen," Tech Times reported.
