Xiaomi has begun sending out invites to the launch of its upcoming Mi 5s handset, which will take place on September 27th. There’s no specific mention of the handset in the invitation, but the gigantic S teaser is a pretty big giveaway.

The Xiaomi Mi 5s has recently been spotted passing through China’s 3C regulatory body and on a small selection of AnTuTu benchmarks, both of which have given us a few hints about the possible hardware specifications. The handset is expected to feature a 5.15-inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 821 processor, 3GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and 64GB of storage with a microSD card slot. Other rumors suggest that Xiaomi may launch a second higher-end model with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal memory.

Other specifications are anticipated to include a 16 megapixel rear camera with 4-axis OIS, PDAF, and an f/1.8 aperture. Some suggest this could come in a dual rear camera configuration, but it’s not entirely clear at this point. There’s also rumored to be a decently sized 3,490mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 technology on board.

Rumors from earlier in the year also suggest that the smartphone will be the first to launch equipped with Qualcomm’s ultrasonic fingerprint scanning technology. The phone may also feature a pressure-sensitive display, just like the 3D Touch and Force Touch technologies of HUAWEI and Apple.
