Watch Xiaomi's Mi 5 new 4-axis stabilization destroy Apple's iPhone 6s optical stabilization in this video

The Xiaomi Mi 5 comes with Qualcomm's best, the Snapdragon 820, and it features an outstanding, refined design, but what Xiaomi seems to be particularly proud of is the new, 16-megapixel camera on the Mi 5 that is one of the first on a phone to feature 4-axis optical video stabilization (OIS).

Optical image stabilization plays a huge role in making the videos you capture on your phone look stable, smoother, and it is also a decisive factor for the camera to capture sharp, blur-free images in dim light.
