Xiaomi Mi 5 Review

Description

The compact, premium Xiaomi Mi 5 is the best value-for-money exchange you can do for a phone equipped with the blazing Snapdragon 820 chipset. It's tapered back is easy on the eye and the palm, and Xiaomi has placed all the bells and whistles of a modern-day flagship inside, such as optical stabilization, a 4 GB RAM version, or a large battery, eschewing only a 2K resolution for a 1080p one, though at 5.15" the perceived difference would be negligible anyway.

Not a bad smartphone
Phone owned for less than a year

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.

Xiaomi's latest is always the greatest!
Phone owned for less than a year

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.
