Xiaomi to announce super-thin flagship smartphone next week

Xiaomi has unveiled its plans to host a launch event for a new, super-thin flagship smartphone. The company is holding the event on January 15 at the National Conference Center in Beijing and has outed a teaser image to focus on the upcoming phone's thinness.

There aren't any rumors regarding the specs of the phone so far. However, a Xiaomi representative has shared an interesting tidbit, that the upcoming flagship will be thinner than cicada insect's wings. Naturally, this is an over-exaggeration and we are yet to see how far the whole diet thing went.

Surely, there will be more teasers of the device in the coming week. For now, all we can do is wonder just what is going to be inside the flagship.

Xiaomi was one of the most successful smartphone makers in 2014 with more than 61.12 million smartphones sold. The company strives to reach 100 million in 2015, so it better have some killer offerings in the pipeline.
