Xiaomi Mi 5s release date, specs news 2016: Next gen Mi 5 smartphone to come with dual lens camera?

The highly anticipated Xiaomi Mi 5s has been a favorite topic of several discussions online. With the new leaked information suggesting its specs and features, fans' interest have continued to grow. The new Xiaomi handset is expected to be a force in the high-end smartphone market once it hits the shelves.

In a report by Gizmo China, the new leaked render shows the black model of the Xiaomi Mi 5s smartphone. Apparently, the device's primary camera is sporting a dual lens setup, which is the same feature some of the high-end smartphones in the industry today have.

It was previously reported by some tech publications in China that the Xiaomi Mi 5s will have a camera with a dual lens setup. The new leaked details add up to the consistencies of the rumors and speculations about the handset.

According to a report by Korea Herald, a source revealed that Samsung has already made a deal with Xiaomi to supply dual-camera modules to the Chinese manufacturer for their new project. The South Korean tech giant has been known to supply single camera hardware for smartphones to Xiaomi in the past. If rumors prove to be true, the new Xiaomi Mi 5s will definitely give other makers a run for their money once the company decides to release the device with dual lens camera. However, these reports have yet to be confirmed by either Xiaomi or Samsung.

Nonetheless, many fans believe that the Xiaomi Mi 5s is intended to compete with the upcoming release of Apple's next-generation iPhone.

Meanwhile, previous reports revealed that the device will arrive with a 5.5-inch display with full high-definition (HD) capability. Although details of its specs and features are a bit scarce as of the moment, tech observers believe that the smartphone will come with the best hardware in the market today.
