Xiaomi has not been seen by the Mobile World Congress this year. This has not stopped the company from displaying new devices from its official forum. One of them has been the Mi5c, a phone that stands out for incorporating the new processor of the house Surge S1. The terminal also has a very slim, elegant design and 5.15-inch JDI screen. Its RAM memory is 3 GB and it also offers a 12 megapixel main camera. It will hit the market for just over 200 euros.
Xiaomi remains one of the most acclaimed manufacturers in the world. Their phones are affordable and boast some of the latest features. The last one we just got to know is the Mi5c. The new phone wears an elegant chassis, built in metal in various colors, with a fingerprint reader on the home button. Its profile is very thin and light. This new model offers exact measurements of 144.38 x 69.68 x 7.09 millimeters and a weight of only 132 grams. Don't expect a big screen. Unlike other of its brothers, such as the Xiaomi Mi Mix, the Mi5c arrives with a single 5.15-inch with Full HD resolution and JDI technology. In any case the quality of the panel is assured.
Premiere power for a new mobile
One of the peculiarities of the Xiaomi Mi5c is that it comes with the new Surge S1 processor manufactured by Xiaomi itself. It is an eight-core chip in which four are of the Cortex A-53 type running at 1.8 GHz (focused on basic tasks). The other four are of the Cortex A-53 type at 2.2 GHz and will take care of the most demanding tasks. This SoC is accompanied by a Mali T-860 GPU and a 3 GB RAM. It is expected, therefore, that we find great power when running several applications at the same time or making use of some of the latest games from the Play Store.

The Surge S1 has some quirks that make it very interesting. In addition to its eight cores, this processor offers support for two microphones, so it can easily eliminate ambient noise. It also has a 32-bit DSP to enjoy great audio quality.
