Xiaomi fans probably know already that the Chinese company plans to launch a smartphone with curved display at some point.

It also true that the next Xiaomi flagship will be launched later this year. Dubbed Mi5, the smartphone is expected to be announced in the coming weeks, but word is it won't be available until sometime in October.

Today, a new picture showing the alleged Xiaomi Mi5 has just leaked online directly from China. Unfortunately, due to lighting conditions we cannot say whether this picture is legit or not.

The device in question leaked with the codename Xiaomi Arch and it appears to feature a curved display, just like the Galaxy S6 edge.

We also don't know if this will be released as Xiami Mi5 or it's a completely different device that will compete with the Mi5.

The Mi5 leaked in another picture earlier this week and it did not look like the Xiaomi Arch. The Mi5 seems to feature an edge-to-edge display, not a curved one.

Either way we will certainly find out more in the coming months since we're getting close to the official reveal. What do you think about the Xiaomi Mi smartphone in this picture? Could it be a prototype that will eventually make it to the market?
