The build up for the Xiaomi MI 5C much-anticipated March launch is already keeping Mi fans on the toes. Amidst a sea of rumors and leaks, a new one is particularly interesting. Contrary to the earlier leak, the new Xiaomi render looks to be inspired (a lot) with the upcoming Galaxy S8 – to the extent that it’s even missing the home button.

Weibo user @strong machine has posted the new image on his account and claims that the image has leaked from Foxconn factory where the phone is being manufactured. Moreover, the new image suggests that the front camera has been shifted from right-hand side to the left corner. Apart from this, the remaining design remains identical to what we had seen earlier. The phone seems to flaunt a metallic unibody design with slim bezels around the display and a 2.5D curved glass layered on top.
