Anonymous, 20 Mar 2016How much is samsung 32gb cost on release? How much is MI5 6... moreOf course I aware about the cost differences between these 2 phones. What I mentioned previously are where the Mi5 fall short. As I can see, people are keep comparing these 2 for the camera performance and criticize Xiaomi for cheating them based on what they have advertised on their "4-axis OIS", I just find it ridiculous.

Anonymous, 18 Mar 2016sony more terrible Sony UI is very good. The MIUI is slower and many Chinese bloatware, the ram isnt good manage and will as slow as Samsung touchwiz after years.

I like the review. Thank you GSMArena staff for the hard work. Thanks a lot.
Finally, a Mi flagship gets amazing audio output. Otherwise, I was stuck with a Redmi 2 for audio reasons only!
Camera seems amazing too, but isn't Ultrapixel a trademark of HTC?

Few things to aware if you seriously consider this phone:
1. Mi5 OIS is crap compare to Samsung Flagship, video steadiness is too artificial and screwed up.(test it before you want to say I'm talking shit)
2. Low light photo/video taking is bullshit, and same level with Mate 8
3. If camera and selfie are your main things, Mi5 is not for you.
However, performance wise, temperature control, audio quality(in term of speaker/headphone), Mi5 is on par if not better than S7.
