If Xiaomi really launch 2 types Mi5 (flat & curved glass) but each with different configuration, I dont know the reason why they do such thing. I can only imagine that they basically are not very confident with their own success, hence trying to produce less for each model and see which one actually sell. That is the only reason why they try to push the sale for each type.
I'm only interested with the flat model, but I hate the QHD which unncessarily put more stress on battery & performance. And I feel nothing but disgust to see the curved glass, which looks like a cheap imitation of S6 Edge. Surely people might also think I'm wearing $10 OEM-grade George Armano perfume.

                Xiaomi is struggling to innovate, 3 years down the road, it will be the same looking phone.

                    I don't like it. .....too much Samsung S6 Edge look-alike. I don't want people to think that I buy this phone because I can't afford S6 Edge. I can't imagine my friends asking from afar "Is that S6 Ege you're using?", and when I show it to them, they say "Ooops I thought you were using S6 Edge. Well, at least it looks like one". How will you feel ? Got me ?
                    The very similar design actually made Xiaomi look like a cheap imitation of Samsung S6 Edge. And when Samsung release S7 just 2 months after you buy Xiaomi, suddenly your Mi5 looks like an obselete design by itself. You got me?
                    I prefer Xiaomi to make their own design, showing their own identity, even when it doesn't look as nice as S6 Edge. I need a personal identity too....I don't need to pretend to be someone else.

                      AnonD-489399, 16 Jan 2016Count Lenovo in. It's No.1 notebooks producers as of late.... moreDear Mike , I respect your opinion .One thing I tell ,you are a great error .
                      There are many other manufacturers of electronic equipment, phones , laptop ( notebook ), TV etc. much better than Lenovo.
                      Knowing that personal like Lenovo products we make , but me, do not up to my requirements such equipment Lenovo.
                      I'll give you an example ,namely, I like products laptop of Asus, his phones LG, Asus,Samasung but no...... Apple.
                      And I say that now I have a phone in use from Lenovo S850 .
                      Now you've understood what I meant in my post ? ..:)
                      Best regards.

                                  If have specified of top in this model X5 and especially , next 3-4 month, Xiaomi 6 , it will be a fierce competetive between Apple , Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi , LeTV, One, LG. Sony.
                                  All this is in favor of customers because prices will fall dramatically phones.

                                        Xiaomi group of the leader or inspired as observed from Huawei group management .Apply the same strategies . And well they do. If Xiami M5 will have minimal equipment at a high level and price correctly, really, not up artificially inflated, then they kick the mobile phone market .
