The two camera samples shared by Bin Lin on his Weibo account suggest that the rear camera on the Mi5 will have a good shutter speed and fast autofocus.
Earlier today, Xiaomi’s President Bin Lin shared couple of images taken by the Mi 5 on his Weibo account. While the images look quite good at first glance, we are unable to deduct from the camera samples the specifications of the camera. This is due to the heavy compression on the Chinese social website. Xiaomi is expected to launch its upcoming flagship, the Mi5 smartphone on February 22. Xiaomi’s Co-Founder and Senior VP, Liwan Jiang has already revealed that the phone will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC. Other specification of the phone have been under constant speculation since last year.
As mentioned, like every other flagship smartphone which is expected to come out in the near future, the Xiaomi Mi5 is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. Going by all the previous rumours, the phone is expected to feature a 5.2-inch 2K display, 4GB of RAM and 16/64GB storage options. However, a recent GFX benchmark listing paints a different picture. According to that listing the Xiaomi Mi5 will come with a 5.7-inch display and just Full HD resolution. The RAM is 3GB and not 4GB which was expected earlier. The benchmark listing suggests 64GB storage on the phone but a different variant with smaller storage is still expected.
The listing however, does not reveal what camera sensors the phone houses which takes us back to the two images shared by Lin Bin. Images show good colours and plenty of details. The image suggests that the camera could capture the flying bird in mid-flight which suggests a faster shutter speed and good autofocus. It is quite likely that the rear camera on the Xiaomi Mi5 will be aided by optical image stabilization as well as laser autofocus. Rumours suggest that the phone will feature a 16MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera.
Apart from the core specification, the phone is rumoured to sport a glass back and a fingerprint sensor as well.
