Well, there had been plenty of rumors about the Xiaomi Mi 5. Now Xiaomi has officially confirmed its upcoming Mi 5 phone. The company has also provided a launch date for the flagship handset.
The Xiaomi Vice President Liwan Jiang announced the company will launch the phone in a media event on February 24. So that means that Xiaomi will be showcasing its latest flagship at the Mobile World Congress. This latest announcement came after the Spring Festival when Xiaomi confirmed it will be launching the Mi 5.
So the Mi 5 has effectively entered production. Furthermore, Xiaomi has also confirmed the phone will be retailing a week after the media event. Note that it will initially be available in China, and Jiang never made it entirely clear if it will be available anywhere else a week after the 2016 edition of MWC.
