Xiaomi Mi5 Not Coming This Month

Although previous rumors claimed Xiaomi Mi5 could be launched on October 19, the information has been denied by the company's co-founder Lin Bin.

Xiaomi has already teased a special event for October 19, but did not share any details on what's to come. Instead, the Chinese company stated that it would unveil a "Next Generation" device whatever that could mean.

Based on the teaser many thought that Xiaomi could launch the Mi5 next week or at least another device like a laptop, smartwatch, monitor, or notebook.

According to a new report, Lei Jun, Xiaomi's co-founder, posted a cryptic message on Weibo, in which he says that the "Next Generation" of technology and science hasn't been used much in the smartphone industry, like in the next-generation gaming consoles, processor and so on.

That raises the question whether or not Xiaomi plans to enter the gaming industry with the video game or game-related device. We don't rule out a Mi-series of gaming products, as unlikely as it might seem at first glance.

Since we're so close to the official unveiling of Xiaomi's "Next Generation" device, we expect more details to emerge on the company's mysterious Xiaomi Device in the next few days.
