Xiaomi is taking its sweet time before unveiling the highly-anticipated Mi5, but with the end of the year growing closer, the company won’t be able to wait much longer. In the meantime, there seems to be no shortage of rumors regarding the flagship smartphone, such as the one from earlier this week which claims that the device will be come with a Snapdragon 820. This will give Xiaomi a significant advantage over its competitors, all of which use the soon-to-be last-generation Snapdragon 810 or equivalent chipset for their flagships, and will give the Mi5 access to Qualcomm’s newest technology, such as Ultrasonic Fingerprint Recognition Technology.

We have been hearing a lot about the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship smartphone since early 2015. However, the company is yet to reveal a launch date of the device. According to recent rumors, the phone might launch as soon as November, which is just a month away. Now, the latest news that comes from Weibo reveals that Xiaomi Mi 5 may be the first smartphone to feature Qualcomm’s Ultrasonic Fingerprint Recognition Technology. Snapdragon 820 powered phones are expected to feature this new-age tech and since Xiaomi Mi 5 is rumored to be one of the first phones to feature Qualcomm’s latest chip, its quite likely that we will see it on the device. The company calls its the Snapdragon Sense 3D Fingerprint technology. This particular tech is better than existing technologies in the sense that its harder to imitate. The 3D fingerprint technology creates a minute map of the details of your fingerprint, better than existing solutions. So, it becomes harder for anyone to copy your fingerprint to unlock the device, essentially making it much more secure.
