The Xiaomi Mi 5 and Xiaomi Mi 5 Plus are expected to be unveiled at around 3am EST Wednesday morning. The unveiling will be held simultaneously in New York, Barcelona and New Delhi.

The Xiaomi Mi 5 will feature a Gorilla Glass 4 protected 5.2-inch screen with a 1440 x 2560 QHD resolution screen. The Snapdragon 820 chipset is under the hood with a quad-core CPU and the Adreno 530 GPU. 4GB of RAM is inside along with 16GB or 64GB of non-expandable storage. The rear-facing camera weighs in at 16MP, while an 8MP camera graces the front of the phone. Other features include a fingerprint scanner, dual SIM capabilities, Bluetooth 4.0 and support for NFC. MIUI 7 is pre-installed.
