Unfortunately we can not tell you the diagonal of the display, as it is very difficult to understand if the image portraying the alleged Xiaomi MI5 is aspect ratio 1: 1 with the size of the device. Recall, in the meantime, rumors emerged that up to now will be of two possible cuts of the display, ie 5.5 and 5.7 inches.

Xiaomi Arch vs. Samsung Galaxy S6 - Comparison among the best upcoming smartphones

After there were rumors that the Korean company might release the Galaxy S6 with two curved, side displays, Xiaomi released a poster with the exact same concept.

The Concept versus Reality

Xiaomi showed a poster with a device showing two curved edges. At the moment, it is just a concept, and no further information is available. Size of the display, performances, specs, operating system, everything is up in the air. Samsung, on the other hand, already has the Galaxy Note Edge, a phablet smartphone with one curved display. Rumors surrounding the Galaxy S6 suggested that the Korean company might go with two side displays in the S6. At this moment, it seems like Samsung is prepared to do anything to wow its fans and customers.
So, at the moment, we have rumors for the S6, versus the concept of the Xiaomi Arch.

How Does the Arch look?

The poster of the Xiaomi Arch reveals some interesting design concepts. For example, both side displays will show controls and notifications. Even more interesting is that the company uses one of the side displays for live streaming important information. The information includes stock prices and live sport results.
According to the poster, the Xiaomi Arch is the first phone with curved screen on both sides.

The Budget Policy

As always, Xiaomi is banking on its low prices to capture the attention of the customers and appeals to them. The Galaxy Note Edge is a premium device, costing around $700. The Galaxy S6 is rumored to have a price tag of $750. Xiaomi’s devices, on the other hand, rarely cross the $400 border. For example, even the flagship Xiaomi Mi4 is priced at $300. If the company continues the policy with the Arch, it will be hard for Samsung to top them.

Xiaomi Mi5 official leaked Photos

Xiaomi has already confirmed it will launch a new flagship device next month, possibly at the Consumers Electronics Show 2015. The company didn’t reveal details about the device, but speculations suggest its going to be the Xiaomi Mi5.

Recently, an image of the alleged Xiaomi Mi5 popped up from Chinese shores, showing us a device in black color which could possibly be the next flagship device from the Chinese manufacturers.

You can see the MIUI clearly on the device, and it follows several design cues from the current Xiaomidevice. Surprisingly, this looks a little bigger than the current Xiaomi Mi4, but it could be the real deal. In case you cant recall, an analyst hinted earlier this month that Xiaomi will launch a new flagshipdevice at CES 2015.

The analysts also guessed some of the specifications, including a bigger 5.7-inch display sporting a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels, a quad-core Snapdragon 810 processor (although its a little unlikely, Snapdragon 805 could be the real possibility), and a 20.7MP camera for photos and videos.

CES 2015 is just around the corner so we’ll find out if this image is the real deal or not. Until then, take it with a pinch of salt. We’ll update you as soon as Xiaomi unveils its next flagship device.
