So, what are all the expected versions of the Xiaomi Mi 5? First up, and the one we are most interested about is the Xiaomi Mi 5 dual camera edition. While information about the setup or release date is unclear at the moment, if it turns out to be true, it would be the first dual camera smartphone from the company. Naturally, given the setup, we can expect the phone to be costlier than the current models and the specs should be similar to the Mi 5 Pro top-end edition.

Next up, is the Xiaomi Mi 5 Metal edition. This particular model should come with an all metal body instead of glass or ceramic as found on the Mi 5 and Mi 5 Pro black version respectively. So, customers would be able to choose between three different materials for the Mi 5 including the all metal one.

Even there are different color options for the Mi 5. For the first time, you can choose between Mi 5 Gold and Purple colors and these models will go on sale in the next flash sale on Friday. There are Black and White versions of the device as well.

To make things easier to distinguish, the company can release these models with different names, such as Mi 5 dual or Mi 5 Metal. But at present, we don’t have concrete details about the same. What we do know is that the company is trying out different materials and colors for its flagship and we could soon see additional versions of the device.

Stay tuned for more details in the coming days. Meanwhile, check out our previous coverage on the new Gold edition of the Mi 5. I have explained the different versions there, which should help you to understand the number of variants available in the market right now.

I have received numerous emails from readers asking about the gold version of the Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship. Now, we finally have a date! Xiaomi has just announced that the Xiaomi Mi 5 Gold Edition will go on sale from April 29, 10AM. This will be the first time this particular color is being made available for the device. Fans had to wait long (around 2 months), but finally, their patience has paid off.

According to the official website, the Mi 5 Gold Edition will come in standard and high versions. This also means that the gold version will feature 3D glass and not ceramic. Not surprising, since even the recently announced Mi 5 Pro White version comes with a glass back. So, the Mi 5 Pro is still limited to two colors at the moment, white and black.

The standard version of the Xiaomi Mi 5 Gold Edition will come with Snapdragon 820 clocked at 1.8GHz, Adreno 530 @ 510MHz, 3GB of RAM, 32GB UFS 2.0 storage and front facing fingerprint sensor. The phone retails for 1999 Yuan ($308). The high version features an overclocked Snapdragon 820 @ 2.15GHz and Adreno 510 @ 624MHz, 64GB storage but retains the 3GB RAM on board. This particular edition retails for 2299 Yuan ($354). The Mi 5 Pro version increases the RAM and storage to 4GB and 128GB respectively. And this particular model retails for $416. But there are only two colors available, white and black.

The newly announced Mi 5 Pro white and Mi 5 Gold editions will go on sale on the April 29 flash sale. In case you are wondering, since the Mi 5 Pro white comes with a 3D glass body, the price will be lower than the black edition. This particular model will retail for 2599 Yuan i.e. around $400.

To sum up, Xiaomi is now offering the Mi 5 Pro at four different price points. The standard ($308) and high ($354) version will be available in black, white, purple and gold colors.

The Mi 5 Pro with a glass back comes in white color and retails at $400.

The Mi 5 Pro with ceramic body comes in black and retails for $416.

All models except Mi 5 Pro Ceramic black edition will be available for purchase on the flash sale on Friday.
