        Praying that Xiaomi doesn't go full retard like others in screen resolution and stick to 1080p.

            ssbatman21, 06 Jan 2016u r either kidding or have no knowledge at all..... xiaomi... moreLol, are u kidding me? What does your knowledge tell you about releasing mi5. Xiaomi was wating for 820 since this long period of time, right? My point is if other OEM can announce and start selling their products at least in china in this period of time, why cant xiaomi? I dont see no reason to wait and announce it 2 month later than Letv and even later than samsung. And by the way hero, u jerk dont know that nothing can be changed only by announcing it will be powered by 820. We all are preety sure than in 2016 many flagship will be powered by sd820.

                If I understand correctly, SD820 features an ultrasonic finger-print sensor... which will eliminate the needs to have a home button to scan the fingerprint. One should be able to place their finger on the glass and authenticate. It will make the phone smaller and better looking than a Sammy..

                        Angry Mobile Nerd, 06 Jan 2016It seems like everyone has the fastest fingerprint scanners... moreWhat about Honor 7i's? It is smaller than Z5's.

                                    It seems like everyone has the fastest fingerprint scanners these days.

                                    Anyways, as for the smallest, pretty sure the Z5's fingerprint scanning side power button is smaller than this, too.

                                        Since other devices with snapdragon 820 is being announced, why is xiaomi really being so late in it. It had been a long time about 2 years, there is no flagship being sold in the market. Except that mi notes which are heating shits. We are eagerly waiting on it. Come on xiaomi, dont dissapoint your fans ( at least in asia ).
