    After wowing the crowd with the gorgeous Mi MIX last October, Xiaomi is now back with a more humble phone but with a twist. The new Mi 5c is the first smartphone to carry Xiaomi's very own chipset, the octa-core Surge S1, and it's hitting the Chinese mid-range market with a price of 1,499 yuan or about $220 on March 3rd. Much like its earlier variants, the Mi 5c features a 5.15-inch 1080p display with 94.4-percent NTSC gamut and 550 nit brightness. It comes with 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM plus 64GB of eMMC 5.0 storage, along with a front-facing fingerprint reader, dual-Nano SIM slots and China Mobile radio with VoLTE support.
