We’re left with just 2 days away from the official launch of the highly anticipated Xiaomi Mi 5S, and it seems like the folks at JD.com has kicked off their advertisement campaign for the new flagship in China.
Apparently, a pair of Xiaomi Mi 5S promotional billboards had been spotted in China earlier today, allegedly showing the front view of the device in full glory (Although the device at the center is reported to be the Mi 5S, but it definitely looks like a Redmi 4 or Redmi Note 4 to me). Akin to what was rumored previously, Xiaomi has indeed ditched the oblong Home button on the Mi 5S this time round, and will not be coming with a physical Home button.
Similarly, the promotional poster also confirmed that the Mi 5S will go on sale in China starting September 29th, two days after the device went official.
Specifications
From what we have gathered so far, the Xiaomi Mi 5S is expected to feature a 5.15? FHD display with 3D touch support coupled with Qualcomm’s brand-new Snapdragon Sense ID, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Other alleged specs also include a massive 6GB RAM, 128/ 256GB internal storage, 16 megapixel main snapper at the back which is paired with a 13 megapixel front-facing camera for selfie purposes.
Pricing
The device is rumored to come in 2 versions, namely Mi 5S as well as Mi 5S Plus. The former will come with a 6GB+128GB configuration and is expected priced at RMB1,999 (~$299), while the higher-end 6GB+256GB model will be priced at RMB2,299 (~$344) instead.
