Even with no upfront announcement, Xiaomi might have already verified the existence of the Mi 5S through its teaser. Apparently, the supposed Xiaomi Mi 5S ran an AnTuTu benchmark test and it resulted to a very high score of 164,119 - the exact same number found on the company's teaser poster. This is a total giveaway that a new Xiaomi smartphone is coming up.

However, the Xiaomi Mi 5S should also be given credit for its powerful processors.
