http://www.mi.com/mi5/ Xiaomi Mi 5 hands-on: Xiaomi at MWC 2016 - GSMArena.com Quote:
Form factor: Metal and glass body
Screen: 5.15" IPS 1080p display (428ppi)
Camera: 16MP Sony IMX298 sensor, f/2.0, phase-detection AF, 4-axis optical image stabilization, pixel-to-pixel isolation; 4MP front camera with 2µm pixel size
Chipset: Snapdragon 820: Kryo CPU @ 1.8 GHz, Adreno 530 @ 510MHz, 3GB RAM @ 1333MHz
Storage: 32GB UFS 2.0
Connectivity: Optional dual-SIM; LTE Cat.12; NF; Infrared blaster; USB Type-C connector
Battery: 3,000 mAh; Quick Charge 3.0
Software: Android 6.0 Marshmallow with MIUI 7.0
| The best announcement out of MWC 2016 IMO. Was so caught up with the S7/G5 that I forgot Xiaomi was announcing this.
Very similar hardware to the S7 and G5, yet the 32GB starts at half the price (1999RMB/300USD/420CAD).
Was going to get a friend to grab one before they leave China, but it's launching March 1st. Anyone going to China next month?

Yeah, I'd probably end up getting the 32GB model and if I don't like it, I'm sure there are tons of people that would be willing to buy it off me.
I don't need all that storage on my phone, and I bet even a 820 underclocked at 1.8GHz is faster than the 810 in my Nexus 6P.

LTE bands unconfirmed, but 3G should work on all Canadian networks except for Videotron and Wind.
I would imagine that worst case secnario, it would support at least B7 2600MHz for LTE - meaning it would work with Bell and Rogers (and their subsidiaries) in limited areas.
I'm happy with 3G speeds on Telus, so it doesn't matter for me.

I am more interested in waiting for them to announce the mi 5 plus (which use to be mi note line) because 5.1" is a bit too small for me to get used to now. I have the mi note from last year and I'd say its one of the best phone experiences I've ever had.

Wonder how hard it is to get one within the first week.. Online orders started in China a day or two ago. Even the Mi 4s is pretty good too

I may have found someone that can bring one to me from China in a few weeks. Just debating configuration and colour.

I'll probably end up going to China in the summer so I can pick one there then if things don't pan out. Will give me more time to read up on reviews too.

this happened with my mi3 and if i remember
black mi3 was an exclusive to china mobile and it had a nivida core instead of the snap dragon
sliver was a exclusive to china telecom and it only had the 16gb (or at least thats what i bought from the website)
white was a rare color
and that was it i heard there was blue yellow green but i have never seem it before in China or online
not sure if this change already

Just got a Mi 4S and it's pretty good so far!

Seems like I won't be getting a Mi5 until mid-Summer.
Anyone going to China or coming back from there soon?

Where is the best place to order it from?
I'll be heading to Taiwan in soon. Would it be easier to get it there?
TIA
