Xiaomi has announced the availability of black colour variant of its flagship smartphone – Mi 5 – in India. Xiaomi Mi 5, which was launched in March was only available in white colour option until now. Users can get hold of the black colour version of Mi 5 on Amazon and Flipkart.
Xiaomi also put out a Facebook post suggesting that gold colour variant will also hit the shelves soon. Xiaomi posted a GIF and said, “Can you stop this at the Black or Gold #Mi5? If you can, screenshot to Mi here, we have an awesome gift for 2 lucky winners! And YES, this does mean that along with the white Mi 5, you can soon choose to get Mi 5 in both black AND gold!”
Xiaomi Mi 5 is a smartphone that offers top-end specs like the latest Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB RAM, a full HD display, 16 megapixel rear camera with 4-axis OIS and a five megapixel front camera . In our review, the Mi 5 was a pretty fast performer and has already topped benchmark scores. The camera also works really well in daylight, though we did face issues with focusing on objects at times.
What we liked about the Mi 5 was its beautiful design, the lightweight body coupled with a really vivid and crisp display. Our major problem with the Mi 5 would have to be that the smartphone is prone to over-heating, at least on the beta ROM build that we had running on our review unit.
