Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus unveiled with Snapdragon 821, 6GB RAM, 13MP dual rear cameras

This is what the Mi 5 should've been.

At a media event in China, Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus. Both phones offer high-end internals in the form of a Snapdragon 821, with the Plus variant getting 6GB of RAM, and dual 13MP cameras at the back. The phones will be available in Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, and White color options, and will go up on sale in China starting this Thursday.

The Mi 5s Plus is the more interesting option among the two handsets, as it offers a dual 13MP camera setup at the back. The implementation is similar to what we've seen with the Huawei P9, with one sensor shooting in full color and the other being a dedicated monochrome sensor. The design itself looks similar to the Mi 5, although Xiaomi went with an all-metallic chassis this time around.
