While it has been only few months since the launch of the Mi4 in China, Xiaomi appears to have started with its works on the next flagship model. As per the latest leaks, the next biggie from the Chinese vendor will be a bezel free smartphone.
The purported images of the next big ticket Xiaomi smartphone expected to be called Xiaomi Mi5 have been leaked via a Weibo user iLevon showing the bezel-less display. These images claimed to be from the production line of Xiaomi do not reveal any major change to the front panel of the Mi4 other than the slimmer bezels. Lately, GizChina came up with a leaked image suggesting that Xiaomi could be using a 2.5D curved display on the alleged Mi5. While there is no official confirmation regarding the incorporation of bezel-less display on the Xiaomi Mi4 successor, LG has already announced a 5.3 inch FHD LCD panel for smartphones carrying the credits for being the narrowest bezel measuring 0.7 mm. A previously leaked image of the Xiaomi Mi5 showed the home screen of the smartphone sporting all new version of the MIUI. Also, the earlier leaks suggest that the device in question will arrive with a 5.5 inch Quad HD 1440p display and employ a quad-core Snapdragon 805 SoC backed by 3 GB of RAM. It is also likely to sport a 20 MP rear facing snapper.
