Has been less than a year since Xiaomi launched the Mi 5 at MWC in Barcelona, but the manufacturer is china is upgrading its flagship phone.

The My 5s change the back glass for a brushed metal and the fingerprint sensor capacitativo per one ultrasonic.

These changes mean that Xiaomi can reduce your costs, it will not be necessary to make a hole in the glass screen for the sensor to capacitative touch your skin. But it still has a slight indentation where the new sensor. The button ultrasonic uses 3D mapping to make your mark, and you should recognize it even if your finger is wet.

Another important change includes a better processor, a Snapdragon 821 Qualcomm, and more internal storage (128GB).

Xiaomi has also boosted the camera. Although the reduced to 12 megapixel 16 megapixel camera, the 5s uses a Sony sensor IMX327 1 or a CMOS 2.3 inches with pixels larger (1.55 µm), which according to Xiaomi are equivalent to those using compact cameras. Already we will test the camera when you send us a unit.

On a personal note, the design change does not convince me. The back glass of My 5 original helped him to stand out among the competition, most of which has a rear part made of metal. However, being accidentally pulled my My 5, breaking your back glass, I understand that Xiaomi wants to incorporate a more resistant material.

Since we will have a chance to test the phone, and while both these are their specifications.
