This phone rocks Android 14 through lineage 21. Couldn't believe my eyes to see it booting up on the latest android. The CG4 glass is really really weak tho. The most weakest glass I've ever seen. Battery is shit but I don't know how this one just doesn't die.

    Since 2017 until now (2024) everything is still working but the touchscreen is dead (mid 2023) even though the screen is still good. just replaced the battery and cable once.

      I gave away my Mi5 only last year. Camera is still good. I only change battery 3 times(well first time was a crappy battery). I believe if only Xiaomi supported it with newer version of android i'm not going to change phone till it got destroyed.

      It serves me well. I hope the new owner is taking it well.

        It's one day early on one charge. Is It's fast charging ?

          It has been six years since I bought the. It's still fine and smooth. Not a single repair was needed except that I changed the battery one time. The charger is still functioning.

                How's the battery life on Lineage 19 (android 12) compared to Miui?

I just installed the ROM without any root access or magisk.

                      this phone is still very good. just give it an 8000mah battery and you can disable the thermal. otherwise you have 30 minutes of battery life

                        Changed the battery, and changed the OS from MIUI to Lineage. Wow.

                        A lot of finance/banking apps won't work. Wish we can still lock bootloader with Lineage.

                              PixelExperience ROM really saves this phone from being obsolete. Well, some extra features from MIUI might be unavailable here, but I'm willing to sacrifice that to become more 'lightweight' and smoother performance.

                                      1. Size are little bit smaller for the needs of larger area nowadays.
                                      2. SD820 are still hella monster even on 2021 on supported apps, rendering and performance.
                                      3. Mi5 still have more than meets the eye
                                      4. Even thou mi5 are more than 4 years older technology, you STILL can use it for daily operational at least 3 years more
