It was already noted that the Samsung Galaxy S7 It would be released in February, and today we talked about more technical characteristics of the LG G5. We continue to discuss details of the upcoming flagships. Specifically, we're talking about the Xiaomi Mi 5 and the Huawei P9, and that the two would have a 5,2 inch screen.
With 5,2 inch screen
Apparently, both the Xiaomi Mi 5 and the Huawei P9 They would have a 5,2-inch screen. Such a size is not a major innovation in the high-end range; models such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 were already opting for compact diagonals. However, more and more high-end smartphones are opting for 5,5 inches or more. In fact, the Meizu Metal and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro both have 5,5-inch displays, despite being mid-range smartphones, and it seems that this will become standard for phones in this range. This means that mid-range phones could end up being larger than the Xiaomi Mi 5 and the Huawei P9, two high-end mobiles.
In the case of Huawei P9, the panel is IPS LCD Full HD (1920 x 1080) with a density of 424 dpi and a frontal use around the 72,5%, allowing it to remain manageable. In the Xiaomi Mi 5, the final diagonal was consolidated in 5,15 inches, very close to 5,2, maintaining Full HD resolution and a reference level of brightness and contrast for its segment.
- Huawei P9: 5,2″, IPS LCD, 1920 x 1080~424 dpi~72,5% screen/body.
- Xiaomi Mi 5: ~5,2″ (5,15″ in final version), Full HD, high luminosity and good contrast.
Same as Samsung Galaxy S7
In addition, along with the Samsung Galaxy S7, these would be some of the few flagships that would opt for a format below 5,5 inches. It was suggested that the Galaxy S7 would move around a screen of 5,1–5,2 inches, and even a possible third version was mentioned with 5,7 inches. However, the most consistent roadmap spoke of two main variants with panels around 5,2–5,3 inches.
In any case, there was talk that the Xiaomi Mi 5 would be presented before the Huawei P9 and before him Samsung Galaxy S7, with an announcement earlier than expected.
Key specifications and differences that matter
Beyond the screen size, the Huawei P9 stands out for its platform Kirin 955 (octa-core up to 2,5 GHz), with 3 GB of RAM in its base configuration and 32 GB expandable storage through microSD up to 128 GB. Integrates a 3.000 mAh battery to fast charge, connectivity LTE Cat 6, NFC, USB Type-C y Bluetooth 4.1In photography he bets on a 12 MP f/2.2 dual camera and rear fingerprint reader, a combination that makes the difference in versatility.
In design, the P9 employs a finish in metal to 144 g of weight and dimensions of 145 x 70,9 x 6,95 mm, prioritizing ergonomics without sacrificing autonomy or advanced connectivity.
For those looking for a comfortable and usable mobile phone with one hand, the diagonal around 5,2 inches It's a sweet spot: it offers enough density for multimedia, a balance between battery and weight, and a compact chassis that doesn't sacrifice connectivity or photography features.
