Xiaomi Mi 5s 6GB RAM
Xiaomi is among those renowned for packing devices to
the gills with power and in this spirit, is apparently prepping a version of
the Mi 5s with 6 GB RAM.
The Xiaomi Mi 5s includes a
Snapdragon 821 with 3 or 4 GB RAM, up to 128 GB storage and a 5.2-inch, 1080p
display. There's also a 12-megapixel main camera that employs Sony's IMX378 sensor
and from what we've seen of the official samples, is capable of capturing some
nice shots. Elsewhere, the Mi 5s also gets a 3200 mAh battery and Android 6
Marshmallow with MIUI 8 UI running on top.
Currently, the 3 GB RAM / 64 GB ROM Mi 5s costs the
equivalent of US$ 300 while the 4 GB / 128 GB model is US$ 345. Curiously, this leak
shows 6 GB of RAM but only 64 GB of storage. One might have hoped for more
storage along with the RAM bump, particularly since the Mi 5s doesn't include a
microSD slot.
There's no word on how much this 6 GB version will
cost, if indeed Xiaomi plans to sell it. Given the prices of the current breed,
though, it'll be unlikely to exceed the US$ 400 mark.
