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.
