As reported by the team, the Xiaomi Mi 5C presents a discrete arrangement of components, with a canonical 3 parts structure. If on the one hand the compactness gives the possibility to obtain a thinner body, on the other hand unfortunately does not offer the possibility, for example, to incorporate a chipset NFC.

Inside the body, the hardware compartment (motherboard, RAM, etc.) is protected by some metal cages, in order to avoid any interference. It is also good dissipation thermal, thanks to the presence of thermal paste. Furthermore, the battery it turns out definitely easy to remove.

The rear camera, specifically, has a sensor Sunny Optical da 12 mega-pixels with f / 2.2 and 1.25 µm aperture but optical stabilization is absent. As for the hardware aspect, there is a 3GB RAM Elpida module, 64GB Toshiba memory, Realtek ALC5659 audio chip and NXP TFA9891.
