Xiaomi Mi5 leaked, reveals almost bezel-less display

Xiaomi has been going great guns of late. Its phones have been doing good business in India and also abroad and the company is approaching an unprecedented $40 billion valuation if reports are to be believed. Now, images of the successor of its current flagship phone - Mi4 have surfaced on Chinese social network Weibo.
Going by the pictures, the phone will supposedly have a larger screen than the current Mi4 which has a 5-inch 1080P screen. The photos also reveal that the phone could have almost 'zero' borders on the sides of the screen.
Of late, LG has taken the lead in removing the extra space found on the sides of the smartphone screen by moving the side buttons on the back. This way it eliminates the circuitry the borders in the side of the screen accommodate. It remains to be seen how Xiaomi will implement this. Currently, we can't even verify if this image is authentic as is the case with most leaked images that pop up on the Internet.
The Mi4 was announced in July, but in markets like India it is expected to be launched in either December of 2014 or the early part of the 2015. Hence, logic dictates that the Mi5 is probably in the early prototyping stage and is far off from an official unveil leave alone an India launch.
