Xiaomi Mi 5 Extreme version


The Xiaomi Mi 5 is the manufacturer's current flagship phone. Powered by the Snapdragon 820 chipset, the standard version of the device comes with the Adreno 530 GPU and offers 3 GB of RAM. For those who needs more speed, Chinese online retailer GOME is offering what is being called the Xiaomi Mi 5 Extreme version.

For starters, the CPU is overclocked by 19% to 2.15 GHz from the 1.8 GHz clock speed on the regular model. The Adreno 530 GPU runs at 624MHz, a 22% bump from the usual 510MHz, and the 3 GB of LPDDR4 RAM is now measured at 1866MHz. That is a 40% boost from the 1333MHz speed found on the regular Mi 5. Keep in mind that the same 3,000 mAh battery is employed, which means that battery life will be negatively affected.

The phone is available in four colors, White, Black, Gold and Purple. The price is the equivalent of US$ 298.50 USD except for the black model, which is priced slightly higher at US$ 306 USD.
