The Mi 5X was launched in Beijing priced at about Rs. 14,200 in three color options: Black, Gold, and Rose Gold/Pink. It comes with a fingerprint scanner on the back. The highlighted feature of the phone is the MIUI 9.

MIUI ROM, the Android-based firmware, is the first product launched by Xiaomi in 2010. It has over 2.8bn active users. It has an AI-based assistant; Xiaomi says it is smart enough to "find anything and everything". The 'smart app launcher' can launch apps based on on-screen elements. Eg. it suggests Google Maps if a user is having a conversation about some location.
