Xiaomi has been on the rumour mill lately as it may release some new devices on January 15th. One of these devices may be the long awaited Mi5, the successor of the Mi4.

The Xiaomi devices have been known to offer pretty good cameras and we expect the Mi5 to be even better to compete to the top of the line flagship devices. The future upcoming device is rumoured to have a 13mp sensor (most likely made by Sony).

This time around we have some fresh photo samples, which were allegedly taken using the Xiaomi Mi5. Let’s take a look.

These pictures are said to be leaked by the Xiaomi’s co-founder. All of the above pictures carry the Xiami Mi5 name in the EXIF information, which leads us to believe that it may be a real deal. In addition, these pictures were taken on December 7th and December 11, with a resolution of 4208×3120, which makes us think that Xiaomi’s Mi5 will retain the 13mp camera.

What is more, the pics were taken in the daylight and so far we can say that colours and detail level is quite good, the macro performance is quite good as well. Since we do not have any night photos, we cannot say how the device handles the noise during complicated shooting scenarios.

According to some other news, Xiami Mi5 will be available in two colors, front and back will be made ​​of glass materials, it will spot a 5.2-inch screen with 2.5D glass, the frame will be made of aluminium alloy, the back shell will have a certain arc .

Besides great camera, the previous rumours suggest that the device is said to offer a great pack of the specs, which include Snapdragon 805 chip, 3 or even 4 GB of Ram, 16/64 GB of storage, 5.5 inches display, which is said to have 2k resolution, 4 G LTE and other great features.
