Creating hype and teasing the phone ahead of an
official announcement has become a norm lately for companies. Xiaomi seems to be leaving no stone unturned in teasing its Mi 5 flagship smartphone ahead of its February 24 launch.
Soon after President Lin Bin shared images taken by the Mi 5 on his Weibo , it was Xiaomi VP Hugo Barra's turn to share an image taken by the unannounced Mi 5. According to Barra, there was no need to change the camera settings for taking shots. Further, Barra has cropped and zoomed into the image and shared the shot to show the clarity of the image. p56x
"I didn't even have to fiddle with manual settings or adjust anything-except turn on HDR-this is a pure SOOC shot. I've cropped and zoomed in on the original, too, just so you can see the incredible details up close," added Barra on his Facebook post.
Xiaomi's Mi 5 is now one of the most anticipated flagship smartphone for the company as a lot rides on the success of the device. The Chinese company shipped over 70 million phones last year, which was below the company's expectations.
The Chinese company recently confirmed that it will hold a limited media preview for the launch of Mi 5 on February 24.
