In the past few hours thanks to SIPO, the Chinese intellectual property office, we discovered that Xiaomi has filed a patent about the design of a new smartphone. Obviously all thoughts go immediately to the Mi5 but we must not be rushed. It 's true, the Xiaomi Mi5 is a possibility, especially considering that the design, the layout of the keys and the presence of the central physical button of the smartphone patented are very similar to those of Mi5 emerged in the photos learde | Xiaomi Mi5 is shown in more leaked images |.
However, there is a logical question that leaves little room for maneuver. Considering that the Xiaomi Mi5 has been under development for quite some time now, wouldn't it be strange if the patent was filed only at the end, running the risk of someone doing it first and ruining all the development work? Starting from this assumption, there are rumors online that the patent in question belongs to the new Xiaomi Mi Pro 2. The fact that the button layout is similar indicates a new line of action by Xiaomi in terms of design.
We will see how the situation will evolve and if this new patent will emerge. How do you think? Will this be Xiaomi Mi5, Xiaomi Mi Note 2 or even another smartphone yet?
