Xiaomi has yet to officially announce a European launch of its Mi 5 flagship and adds that the handset's promotion on a commerce site based in Poland is not authentic.
Hugo Barra, Xiaomi VP, has been promising to launch the Mi 5 in Europe, although other details such as pricing and dates are still undetermined.
According to the Polish site in question, Xiaomi's latest handsets, such as the Mi 5 and the Mi 4S, will soon be available to its European customers. The site even promised to add more details such as launch date and pricing very soon. At first glance, one would believe the Polish site is the actual Xiaomi Poland site, but the company confirmed it's not authentic.
The Mi 5 will reportedly come in three distinct versions. The first and second versions will share similar features, such as a 5.15-inch display with curved glass enclosure 3D, 3 GB RAM and a trio of color options that include white, black and gold.
The first version of the Mi 5 will run on Snapdragon processor 820 at 1.8 GHz, while the second version will run on Snapdragon 820 at 2.15 GHz. The first version will also have 32 GB UFS as opposed to the second version's 64 GB UFS.
The third Mi 5 version will have features that include a 5.15-inch display, Snapdragon 820 at 2.15 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB UFS and 3D ceramic housing. It will only be available in a black color option.
All three versions share a number of other impressive features that include a 16 MP camera that has 4-axis OIS, full-featured NFC, 600 Mbps 4G+ connectivity and more.
Xiaomi is reportedly working on the Mi 5's Touch ID sensor feature as well as a retina sensor that will allow users to unlock their devices using their eyes.
Since its launch at the MWC 2016, the Mi 5 flagship has been gaining a lot of attention from consumers who are seeking a handset that not only has advanced features, but is also affordably-priced. The Xiaomi Mi 5 will reportedly have starting prices as low as $300.
However, Xiaomi's handsets seemed to have limited availability outside of their home country, which has been a major problem for the company. Rival company Meizu has, so far, outpaced Xiaomi in terms of expanding its presence outside the Mainland, with its handsets also being available in India and the European Union.

Xiaomi releases new 10000 mAh power bank with USB Type-C port
The power bank sports other important features like protection from short circuit, output overcurrent, temperature, input overload and reset protection. However, the power bank can also charge up anything else that uses the new connector port, such as the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, OnePlus 2, and even Apple's svelte MacBook.
Because it includes a USB Type-C port, it's very clear that the Mi Powerbank Pro is meant for those who are going to buy the manufacturer's latest flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi 5. Now, this power bank is named MI Powerbank Pro, it is made out of aluminum, and it has a 10,000mAh battery capacity, while it also offers fast charging for a variety of voltages (5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A).
Xiaomi recently announced their new Mi 5 smartphone, the handset comes with USB Type C and now the company has launched a new powerbank for the device, the Xiaomi Mi Powerbank. While only weighing in at 223 grams. The most interesting feature of this device is the two-way fast charging and a Micro-USB Type-C adapter which is missing in most of the power banks out there in the market.
The 10000 mAh Mi Powerbank Pro is priced at ￥149, translating to approximately Rs 1542.
This is quite impressive when you compare it with the 10,000mAh Mi Power Bank (22mm) launched previous year. The company is giving a 18W ultra fast charger with it which is said to charge the device 40% faster and reduces the charging time to just 3.5 hours. Apart from that, it also has a nine layered circuit protection developed by the Texas Instruments for preventing the device from any damage. If you want a power bank that has some style and is a bit smarter than most, the Xiaomi Mi Power Bank Prime looks like a fine option, and it will be affordable as well with a price tag of around $22.
