With less than a month left before the rumored unveiling of Xiaomi's follow-up to its high-end frontrunner Mi 5, named Xiaomi Mi 5s, the internet and the tech world is abuzz about its upcoming premium specs and exciting features.
One of the hottest and most recent rumors about this forthcoming handset, which tech observers and fans of the Beijing-based tech firm welcomed warmly, is that Xiaomi Mi 5s will be sporting dual rear cameras. This is according to a report from Gizmo China citing a photo render of the new smartphone as an evidence.
The photo showed the back and front upper half of the supposed Mi 5s and it is crystal clear that the device will be having the two main cameras. If this will appear true, the Xiaomi Mi 5s will be the first device from the Chinese tech giant to feature this new lenses manufactured by the Korea-based firm Samsung.
It can be recalled that initial reports revealed that Samsung will be jumping into the dual camera bandwagon through supplying this latest technology to two major smartphone companies in China starting July. The two companies are Xiaomi and LeEco. None of this is confirmed yet, as the three tech firms have remained mum.
However, as the render and the rumors point that Xiaomi Mi 5s will be getting two powerful lenses, it is deemed as another frontrunner for the China-based mobile giant. Initial rumors have already revealed that it will also be equipped with a pressure sensitive display, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, curved screen, and flawless glass bodies.
As successor of the highly-praise Xiaomi Mi 5, Mi 5s will reportedly have bigger screen at 5.5 inches with Full HD resolution, Xiaomi Today reported. This is a big boost compared to its predecessor's 5.15 -inch display with a resolution of 1080 pixels by 1920 pixels at a 428 pixels per inch.
Aside from this, the upcoming flagship phone from the Beijing-based company will also sport a Force Touch implementation, which measures the pressure of the user's presses in the handset's display.
While both Xiaomi Mi 5 and Mi 5s will be powered by Snapdragon 820 chipset, the new device is still expected to be better than its predecessor.
