Xiaomi Mi 5 review: Time-saver edition

08 April, 2016
Xiaomi surely took the time to make the Mi 5 worthy of its name. And Xiaomi Mi 5 sets the bar even higher! The Mi 5 was the first Xiaomi phone to be unveiled under the massive spotlight of the world's biggest mobile expo - the MWC in Barcelona.

              I have MI 5 from 2 years. And I have felt it down on floor many times from 4 to 5 feet height. Its glass don't broke from anywhere. Infact there is hardly any scratch.
              Except, its frame has some dent's.

                My Xiaomi Mi 5 is running on Android 9 Pie thanks to pixel experience ROM. The camera performance is better than iPhone 6s with g cam pre-installed on this ROM. And the best thing is that the restriction of 1.8 GHz frequency of SD 820 was removed by default with this ROM. Now my Mi 5 runs with 2.15 GHz SD 820 processor. Now it becomes a dream to come true because,
                Software is great (Stock Android 9 Pie as pixel phones)
                Camera performance is awesome
                And Design which i love most as always best for me.

                        Its design and build quality is phenomenal and you guys are praising it alot then why 3.5/5? Totally irrational.

                                      This phone is very brittle. In a youtube video by JerryRigsEverything this phone broke like a biscuit. It is'nt a phone meant for rough use, and might break easily while in your pocket. Xaomi provided killer specs is a sub par body.
