Recently, there has been a post by the Chinese manufacturer’s co-founder Li Wanqiang, appearing on Weibo and announcing that Xiaomi Mi5 launch will occur soon, or after the Lunar New Year February 8, 2016 to be specific. Well, no more rumor for now! However, if it is true, Xiaomi Mi5 will have to compete with the premium Samsung Galaxy S7 and its variants, which can make it hard a bit for Xiaomi. Don’t you think?

Besides, some details about the phone’s hardware have also got revealed. In the social media status, Mr. Li Wanqiang claimed that the handset has been in mass production and waiting for orders before coming out of the house. Furthermore, he added that Xiaomi Mi5 specs would really include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, making Mi5 one of the first SD820-run devices.
