The Xiaomi Mi 5C is rumored to be the first Xiaomi smartphone that would feature the in-house Pinecone processor that would be unveiled on the 28th of this month in China. The Mi 5C is also expected to be released along with the Pinecone chipset on that day and ahead of the event, the Mi 5C has made an appearance on benchmark website GFXBench.

The expected specs of the Xiaomi smartphone isn’t a secret one but the GFXBench listing comes as a reminder. According to the listing, the Xiaomi Mi 5C comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p display and would have 3GB of storage as well as 64GB of internal storage. There is also a 12MP rear camera as well as an 8MP front-facing camera. The smartphone runs MIUI 8 based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

The most important part of the listing is the aspect of the processor where the device is listed with an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor with a top frequency of 2.1GHz and a base frequency of 1.4GHz. Powering the graphics is a Mali-T860 GPU. No doubt, the configuration fits those of the Pinecone chip.

Sadly, the device is listed as not having NFC onboard but there are connectivity options like WiFi, GPS and others. It is also coming with a single slot for SIM card. Just to reminder you, though, that GFXbench’s data are not always accurate, so until Xiaomi takes the veil off the Mi 5C, we can’t say for sure if these are the actual specs.

It seems to have been established that the Xiaomi smartphone code-named Meri is in fact the Mi 5C and leaks about the expected phone is coming out more often. The latest is a set of leaked renders of the Xiaomi Mi 5C showing the front and back view of the sleek device.

The latest leaked renders surfaced on Weibo and although the user did not give a specific name to the phone model (pictured above), the image looked very similar to the previous renders of the Mi 5C.

Popular tipster @kjuma also revealed similar renders of the device sporting a different color theme on the display. In one of the renders which seem to be a screenshot from one of the e-commerce website, the device is labelled as Mi 5C with the code-name Meri as well but the 999 Yuan price tag might be incorrect.
