Xiaomi Phone hold an event on October 19 - Mi5 likely to be launched

Xiaomi has started sending out invites for a launch event for 19 October. The invite has also been uploaded to Chinese social network Weibo.

Although the invite does not reveal any particulars about the flagship Xiaomi Mi5, it features an image suggesting a big announcement. There is intense speculation that the company would introduce its Xiaomi Mi Note 2, as the successor to the earlier launched Mi Note, alongside the Mi5.

Previous reports have suggested that the device would be launched either in November or December, an October launch cannot be completely ruled out. However, if this does happen, it'd be safe to say that the handset won't feature the Snapdragon 820 SoC as the first devices with the chipset are expected to arrive in December at the earliest.

Another possible launch candidate is the Mi Pad 2. There were reports earlier that the device could be announced in Q3, a time frame which has already passed. However, that time-frame was never confirmed by Xiaomi, so an October 19 launch for the Mi Pad 2 is still a possibility. The successor to the Xiaomi Mi Pad was also recently spotted on China's 3C Certification center website.

We can also hear some news about the Windows 10 powered tablets and laptops from Xiaomi. According to the leaks, the Xiaomi Tablet will be launched before the end of this year and the laptop will be launched before the first half of 2016. Stay tuned for Xiaomi Device more information.
