Not too long ago, Xiaomi announced the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro but didn’t hint at any successor to the Mi 4 smartphone. If this teased image is true, we might get a successor this year by the name of the Xiaomi Mi 5.
According to GizmoChina, the Mi 5 could be announced in Q4 of 2015, which is more than a year since the Mi 4 initially hit the market. There’s no official word on what features the Mi 5 will have under the hood but it’s speculated the smartphone would likely be around 5 inches because the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro have larger 5.7 inch screens and Xiaomi probably won’t want to launch another larger sized flagship smartphone this year.
The image above was posted by Xiaomi CEO and co-founder Lei Jun that was showing various prototypes of Xiaomi smartphones including the Redmi Note, the Mi 2, Mi 3, and Mi 4. He also said that Xiaomi tends to make five or six protoypes for each phone before the final version is ready, so we might only get a proper peek once Q4 draws closer.
