Xiaomi Mi5 now available for pre-order

Chinese OEMs are shaking up the smartphone world with pretty compelling specs-rich —-bang for buck devices. One of the notable is MWC’s Xiaomi Mi 5 that features a powerhouse Snapdragon 820 SoC, 3 or 4 gigs of RAM and a full-HD, 1920 x 1080 display, choices of 32 / 64 / 128 GB of storage, a fingerprint scanner, 16-megapixel main camera and 4-megapixel snapper on the front for just over $300 in China. There’s no word on when the Xiaomi Mi 5 will be heading on the US, but you can pre-order this Marshmallow-loving smartphone at GearBest for starting price of $440 just for the Standard model, then prices go up to $470 and $535 for the High and Exclusive models respectively.

If ever you already bought the Mi 5, you can shop for its cases and other accessories at Amazon.com.
