The company’s flagship device was initially available only on Mi.com
Xiaomi’s flagship device, the Mi 5, will now be available on Amazon India, Flipkart, Snapdeal and Tata Cliq. The announcement was made by the company via its official Twitter account. To recall, the Xiaomi Mi 5 was launched in India back in March, and was available exclusively on the company's own online shopping portal, Mi.com. Only the 3GB-32GB variant of the device was launched in India, and is priced at Rs. 24,999.
The Xiaomi Mi 5 features a 5.15-inch Full HD IPS LCD display, and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC with 3GB of RAM. The phone sports a 16MP camera at the back with 4-axis OIS, phase detection autofocus, and Deep Trench Isolation (DTI) technology, while at the front is a 4MP camera. The smartphone offers 32GB of onboard storage and runs Android Marshmallow with MiUI 7 layered over it. The Mi 5 is equipped with a 3000mAh battery pack, with Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 technology. The premier variant of the smartphone, called the Mi 5 Pro, features 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This variant, though, was not launched in India.
