A good middle class, it can be buggy, but without it anywhere in the modern world, mistakes happen to everyone. For little money a child can buy. There is a global firmware and androyd 7 A cover is required, since the glass is broken at the first drop.
- great display
- Good battery
- Great sound in the headphones.
- Quick UI
- Beautiful design
- Good camera
- Glass caseback not survive the fall
- MIUI bag
- Video camera focus bad
I do not know what benefits does a company/region can give a manufacturer. To all those people who neglect things made in China, please give one reason why similar hardware assembled in Korea, Taiwan or US is automatically better?
R 'n' D is what define quality and reliability and Xiaomi has earned it over time from the early days of MI3. Its no longer a 'yet another' Chinese brand and MI5 is no exception.
Simplicity of MIUI, reliability of R 'n' D and support of user forums is what you get when you choose a Xiaomi device.
MI5 overcomes the shortcomings of MI4 like fingerprint sensor. Stunning sexy looks and superb horse power with MIUI 7 on top of Android 6.0 has its own fluidicity. Grab whenever possible.
- Top notch Snapdragon 820.
- 32GB base-storage.
- Dual-glass design.
- No camera hump.
- Ultrapixel level front camera.
- Superb battery life. Getting a screen-on-time of 11 hours. PhoneArena tests show it lower than MI4, but I am happily getting better.
- Most well-built 'value for money' device.
- 32GB version has a downclocked processor. You need to buy a 64 GB variant for full glory of SD820.
- Aluminium 6061 Series was the one responsible for iPhone 6 Plus Bendgate. Got the hint?
- 16MP camera is do 'okay' stills at night. Better than most, but inferior than S7.
