A lot has been heard about the Xiaomi Mi 5s, an alleged upcoming variant of the Mi 5 to feature Snapdragon 821. Now, there seem to be invites sent out by Xiaomi for an event in China suggesting that the company is all set to launch the device on 27 September.

Xiaomi has sent out invites with a notable 'S' hinting that the device would be the Mi 5s. Several leaks and rumors have been doing the rounds online stating that the Mi 5s will be a modified version of the Mi 5.

The key features of the device are expected to be a 5.5-inch display with 3D Touch, along with a powerful Snapdragon 821 clocked at 2.4GHz and coupled with a whopping 6GB RAM. On the storage front, we may be lucky enough to see 256GB of internal storage. However, some previous reports were hinting at two more variants, so we could probably get, 3GB RAM with 64GB onboard storage and 4GB RAM with 128GB onboard storage. However, a 256GB variant is also said to be in the list.

It is to run Android Marshmallow with a layer of MIUI 8. On the camera front, rumors point out at a 16MP rear snapper, and a 4MP front-facing camera. Another rumor also hints at a dual camera module on the back that is expected to come from Samsung. A fingerprint scanner, which should somewhat look like the iPhone 7 tactile home button, has also been rumored.

However, there is no official word on any of these specifications yet. Looks like, we should be able to confirm the specs soon on 27 September.
