Xiaomi has announced the Black and Gold colour variants of the flagship Mi 5 in India starting June 24, 2016. The device is just a colour variant and has no difference in specifications. The Mi 5 Black and Gold variants will start sales from 10 am on June 24, 2016 and will be available on Mi.com, Amazon and Flipkart. However, Mi.com is still showing the products out of stock. Xiaomi’s Global VP Hugo Barra announced the sale of the Black Mi 5 on Facebook.
The Mi 5 looks elegant in a completely black body. The device is crafted with an aircraft-grade curved aluminium chassis and a glossy black front display on the black variant and similarly in gold front and back for the Gold variant.
Xiaomi had launched the Flagship Mi 5 in India in March and the device was only available in White colour. However, many fans and smartphone consumers in India have a preference for black coloured handset variants. In addition to the black variant, the company is also selling the Mi 5 in Gold colour.
