In the meanwhile, the device seen in alleged images scoring an impressive 46,866 score, which appears to be pretty decent, given a dated chipset under the hood.

It would appear that the company could be thinking to launch two variants of the Mi5. The upcoming handset can be seen sporting very basic design, and it seems to be made out of plastic shell.

Aside from a 5-inch display, the Mi5 is rumored to come with a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 CPU, which would make it the second high-end Android smartphone with a 64-bit processor.

Other rumored specs included a healthy 3GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB of on-board storage. The smartphone is expected to launch with Android 5.0 Lollipop, presumably coated by Xiaomi's MIUI skin on top.
