There are very, very few things that make me regret living in the United States, but Xiaomi is definitely one of them. A bunch of information on the Chinese company’s upcoming flagship smartphone was just released and I’m practically drooling. Known as the Mi5, the smartphone will reportedly come with 4GB of RAM, a 5.3-inch 2560×1440 display, and an ultra-powerful Snapdragon 820 chipset. It also received 73,075 points on an AnTuTu benchmark, which is absolutely insane.
