Camera performance was
Honestly
A surprise. This phone shouldn't produce photos that rival those from high-end handsets
But it does. Perhaps images aren't quite as sharp as those from the iPhone 6S or Samsung Galaxy S7
But they're damn close

The editors didn't like
I don't like the fact that Xiaomi
And other phone makers
Are moving to USB-C. Cables for this standard aren't that common yet
Which means you're going to have to buy new ones. In addition to that
It's not unheard of for cheap USB-C cables to blow phon
No waterproofing
No NFC
Low-resolution display
Dated Android version
720p display resolution
There's no microSD card slot like the Samsung Galaxy S7
Price/Performance, Overall performance, fast storage, 4axis OIS, Compact design, Battery life, fast charging
Limited availability in the West, potential ROM issues, Camera can't keep up with latest flagships, Glass back may not be to everyone's liking
As a value proposition, Xiaomi phones are definitely a great choice, and it's easy to recommend budget Xiaomi phones like the Mi4c and Redmi Note 3 Pro (SD808 and SD650 processors respectively). These phones retail at about $140 to $160 and they're bargai...

superb price-performance ratio, casing materials & build, very good system performance, bright IPS panel, dual-SIM, LTE Cat.9, decent camera...
but not premium quality, "only" 3 GB of RAM (64 GB version), no storage expansion despite 2nd slot, availability / lack of LTE band 20 support, (GPS)
Compared with some considerably more expensive 2016 flagship handsets by other manufacturers, the Mi5 does not have a unique selling point like OnePlus' 3 (6 GB RAM), Huawei's P9 (dual-camera system), LG's G5 (modular design) or Samsung's Galaxy S7 (camer...

Abstract: You may or may not have seen our written review of the Xiaomi Mi 5 already, but how does it stand up to scrutiny after 3 months on the market? We've been running the Official MIUI 7 Chinese ROM on our Mi 5 since we received it in mid March, and were final...
Solid and premium build, Gorgeous design, Dual-action home button, Specs are incredible, especially for the price, NFC support, IR Blaster, USB Type-C, Great headphone audio output, Fantastic camera, MIUI is super feature rich, MIUI is updated nearly week
Too slippery, Too light, Display is poor for VR, External speaker is mediocre, Poor worldwide spectrum coverage (no LTE in the US for instance), Software still gets in the way too often
Over the past few months we've used the Xiaomi Mi 5 on and off, but the last couple of weeks since the stable global ROM release have treated us to some truly excellent experiences. Xiaomi has upped their build quality game once again, ironed out some...

Stylish, beautiful phone, Bright and colorful display, Cheaper than most other flagship phones, Unlike the Mi 5, it is sold in the US and EU, with warranty and full LTE support, Wellbuilt, goodlooking phone, More compact, Takes great photos and videos, Ex
We end with reminding you: the Xiaomi Mi 5 is not a phone meant to be sold in the U.S. or Europe. It's only available via unofficial channels (you can find it on eBay in the United States and shop from resellers with European warehouse like GizChina's sho...

Finally, we'd like to re-emphasize our point from the beginning of this comparison: the Xiaomi Mi 5 might have prices starting from $300 ($340 for the mid-tier 64 gig model and $400 for the 128GB one) in China, but if you import it from your average eBay...
