Xiaomi had a great year business-wise. This Chinese flahship vendor will sold over 60 million handsets this year, which is 41 million units more than last year when the company moved “only” 19 million units. Xiaomi is now the third largest smartphone maker in the world, according to Bloomberg. Xiaomi is going global to wide its business to other diffent markets, such as: Latin America, India, South-East Asia and Russia. It will apparently be interesting to see will things work out for Xiaomi in the next years.

Xiaomi not want to share the market share, of course, especially in China. That ambition urged more 100% its effort to exceed the targets. And it is a certain thing to create a new device, also based on the predecessor -Mi4- the hottest smartphone of Xiaomi currently. So it’s the reason why Xiaomi Mi5 was created. Clearly, the Chinese firm would have already started the early stages of their design for the model to be ready when the business cycle Xiaomi Mi4 is between a phase of commercial decrease.

Mi4 is Xiaomi’s current smartphone, no doubt, is really great, at an extremely impressive price with high-quality specs. It looks like Xiaomi plans to shake up the market again with their Mi5 handset. According to the newest annoucement from the industry analyst, Sun Changxu, Mi5 is already being developed and the device will probably feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor which comes with an Adreno 430 GPU for graphics rendering. The device will support a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, and we’ll also get a fingerprint scanner including in the device.

Xiaomi Mi5 is at the P2 stage of production, according to supply research director Wang Yang recently . It can understand that the design phase has been wend to the end and development of the second prototype has been completed.

The most ecpected thing – price, this device might cost only 1,999 Yuan (PHP 14639). With all of rediculous specs, a greater display, a powerful processor, and at a lower price? It’s might a little bit hard to believe, in my view. And how’s about you?
