Xiaomi Mi 5C has 5.15” display, a 12 MP main camera and a 8 MP snapper on the front for all the selfies on Weibo. There is a fingerprint scanner on the front and you have 3 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage. The battery of Mi 5C is 2860 mAh and the device comes with Android 7.1 Nougat and MIUI out of the box. This whole setup is powered by octa-core Surge S1.
The name “Surge” is still a rough translation of the actual Chinese name of the chipset. The processor comes with 8 Cortex A53 cores, half of them clocked at 2.2 GHz and the other half at 1.4 GHz. The GPU is Mali-T860, and there is VoLTE support. It is made on the 28 nm HPC process and has “lower power consumption for daily use,” according to the company’s press release.
We expected a better SoC to be launched along with the cost-efficient Surge S1, but Xiaomi will probably hold on until it can show us a device, much like today’s event in Beijing.
