The press renders that have surfaced today are well in accordance with the leaks that we had previously heard about the Xiaomi’s Mi 5. The display on the device is a curved display, which curves a bit on the two edges of the device. Along with the curved display on the device, we see a physical home button at the bottom of the phone, which according to the leaks previously suggest that it will host a powerful fingerprint scanner, probably the smallest one ever included in such a home button. The phone has been displayed in 3 colours, black, pink and white. The black and pink colours appeared in the press renders, whereas the white colour appeared in the hands-on video. Here is the video for you to have a look.
