      Here's a few comparisons apart from the absolute obvious:
      Mi5s Display: 5.15" - 1080p - 428ppi - 600nit -1500:1 - Force Touch
      Mi5s Plus Display: 5.7" - 1080p - 386ppi -550nit - 1300:1 - "No" Force Touch

      Mi5s Camera: Next gen 12mp Sony Ultra Sensitive IMX378 Sensor - 4 AXIS OIS - Auto HDR - 2nd Gen Qualcomm ISP dark light enhancement tech. - 1080p Video @ 120fps - 32 Sec Exposure
      Mi5s Plus: Doesn't have all of the above but has the obvious lower grade sensor dual 13mp cam with monochrome sensor.

      Mi5s Processor: SD821 2.15GHz, Adreno 530 Graphics @ 624MHz
      Mi5s Plus Processor: SD821 2.35GHz, Adreno 530 Graphics @ 653MHz*
      *Real world use this performance bump will mean very little to nothing.

      Both have LPDDR4 1866MHz memory & UFS 2.0 storage speeds promoting 87% improvement over eMMC5 (roughly 500MB/s I guess)

                AnonD-81483, 27 Sep 2016GSMARENA please post a quick battery review of this phone. Aree Bhai, it is released few hours back.delivery will not start before couple of days. Give them few days more after receiving the gadget, to review in detail.

                Then ask for test results.

                  AnonD-43988, 27 Sep 2016The RAM figures for Mi5S Plus seems to be wrong - 2299 Yuan... moreYesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift. That is why it is called PRESENT.
                  Better enjoy what you have today.

                  Buddy , Xiaomi had better ram management. And go out and see the price tag of similarly specced phones.

                        Mi5S plus looks like redmi phone.
                        Finger print should be on the frond like MI5S. that looks more premium.

                          unfortunately both none.

                              From the mi.com page the Mi5S does support band 8 but not Mi5S plus which I hope is a typo.

                              Strange that they release new phones with this limited LTE support, since Redmi Note 3 even in China supported several more bands.
