Only two days after the first leak appeared over the Internet, an image of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5 is once again leaked from the Chinese company. The latest preview hints that the next Mi version may be built with dual camera at the rear.
The exposed camera section of the image shows a dual LED flash surrounded by a pair of snappers. The purported dual camera setup is located at the top right hand corner of the handset's rear side. While the idea of a device having dual camera at the rear may sound vague, the image surface that shows the back side along with some reflection seemed to look authentic after all.
An early report said that the Mi 5 project was given the codename "Libra" by the company. According to Mobi Picker, the upcoming device has specs that include a 5.3-inch display with screen resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and pixel density of 554 ppi.
Other features of the purported device include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, a RAM of 4GB, a choice of 16GB or 64GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded through a microSD card slot, a 3,030mAh battery, and the latest Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS. There is also a rumor that the Mi 5 will sport a fingerprint scanner.
As for the camera, the Mi 5 has a 16MP rear camera and 6MP front camera, which is designed to deliver nice selfies and make skype or video conferencing possible.
Earlier leaks, however, showed that the Mi 5 would be sporting a 20.2MP rear camera.
If rumors about the Mi 5 cameras are true, it would mean that the device, which is said to have a dual rear camera, will have one 16MP rear shutter while the other will have 20.2MP.
Pricing on the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5 is rumored to be around $399, applicable in and around China on an off-contract purchase. The device will also be launching in other countries but will have varying price points. Some of these countries include Russia, the U.S., Spain, India, Germany, Portugal, the Philippines, Thailand, France, Italy, Vietnam, the Czech Republic, Greece, Bangladesh and Hong Kong. There is also a rumored release of the device in Europe.
Xiaomi Mi 5 is set to launch in November in China, the U.S., Indonesia and India. Countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Spain, Germany, and the UK may see December for its launch date.
