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
I love t

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
Raises the bar for cheap phones in a big way, Zero worries about performance or battery life, Software additions are smart and helpful
Some fit and finish concerns, Image quality is a step below the best, Not available in the US or Europe

When Xiaomi started to tease the Xiaomi Mi5 they put a heavy emphasis on speed, and that's what they have managed. They have created a phone with a super fast CPU, fast memory, fast charging (even without a fast charger) and super fast camera, but while i...
So, there you have it, the latest and greatest from Xiaomi. The Mi5 is a fantastic device and it offers quite a lot of flagship-grade quality features for a lower price. It all starts with a beautiful design and great build quality despite a bit rattling...

Excellent FULL HD display, Great camera performance, 4G LTE connectivity, Fast charging, Waterproof,
Battery life not on par with some other phones of the same price range, Smaller screen size compared to most flagships
When we take into the consideration all the pros, cons, specifications and our user experience over the past few days, we can say for sure that this smartphone is definitely better than its predecessor Xiaomi Mi 4 in every possible way. If you want to buy...
Beautiful, premium design, Low cost, Excellent camera
Not stocked by networks, No expandable storage, User interface could be clearer
This phone looks great, feels great and has the spec list to match - with a price that's hard to believe. Sadly, it looks like distribution will be limited, but we can hope...

There's no microSD card slot like the Samsung Galaxy S7, or removable battery like the LG G5
Xiaomi's impressive Mi 5 has the features to stand up against the very best, but it's a shame it won't be officially available worldwide...

Fast, Stylish, Thin Bezel, MIUI is great, Strong Camera, Cloud-backup, Right Price
Still buggy at present with calls missed and phone not always cooperating, Slippery on surfaces, No MicroSD
At INR 24,999 Mi 5 offers a great overall package, with amazing specs on paper and impressive results in real. Gaming on this device was something which can be comparing to the likes of phones like Samsung Galaxy S7 which cost almost double the price of t...
