If I told you that you could get a phone that’s as stylish and powerful as the Samsung Galaxy S7, but for a fraction of the price.I’m not a fan of looking only at the numbers though, and I can assure you that the Mi5’s display is bright, colourful and full of detail. It’s an IPS-type screen, rather than an OLED, but that doesn’t seem to have a huge impact, as it still offers the kind of ultra-vivid colours you’d see on the Galaxy S7. But here’s the thing: the Xiaomi Mi5 is exactly that Android phone - a powerful, beautifully designed handset that costs around Rs 26, 000/-
Price and availability are something of a moveable feast, however, because while the Xiaomi Mi5 is available online on several online shopping site.
This is one of those phones that you have to track down yourself, buy upfront and plug your own SIM card into, although for experienced users this is hardly a challenge.
One feature about which I’m far from grumpy is the fingerprint scanner on the front of the Mi5, which is concealed beneath the home button.
I initially concluded that this was some kind of magic - either that or it wasn’t really scanning my fingerprint at all, and the whole thing was some sort of joke. Why do I say this? Because it’s so fast that I simply didn’t believe it could really be scanning anything.
My theory was quickly disproved, however, by using a different finger to try and log in to the phone - it didn’t work. So the fingerprint scanner is just really, really efficient. I didn’t expect that - although maybe I should have, because most fingerprint scanners these days are fast and work well.
The headphone jack is located at the top of the phone, and next to that is an IR blaster that you’ll never use. If you really did want to use it, it could be used to control your TV - but you have a remote for that already, and I’ve yet to be persuaded that this kind of extra functionality is of much value.
from my point of view, i hardly find any difference between MI4 and MI5 .as I have been using MI4 for 1 year. its a superb phone.
I think that Mi has not done justice to its MI5 device as compared with MI4 .ram is same in both the device.it has to be 4gb in Mi5 atleast.
before buying this phone I went through many research work for MI5 and comparision with the other related device.after I finished my research work I was amazed by the result.The mi5 was top on the chart in comparision. in terms of camera quality , speed, reliablity, everything mi5 was best as compared with other phones.
I personally like the camera quality of Mi5 which is outstanding and looks like professional look.iphone not stand far away in terms of camera quality.
but MI5 has a class in terms of design and system upgardation .one must go for mi5 for a outstanding experience. mi5 has a features that iphone 6 cant give you.
the one thing I dont like about is their service .their service center are limited and if you submit your phone their .they will return arround 1 month or more . its my personall experience.for service standards mi has to work very hard.
