Xiaomi has a new phone confirmed to launch on the 26th of July. Called the Xiaomi Mi 5X, it is supposed to take on OPPO and Vivo, two kings of photography in China.

Official images of the Xiaomi Mi 5X have been released revealing its dual rear cameras and its iPhone-like design. It is interesting to see that Xiaomi is even going the design route that is used by OPPO and Vivo.
