I only wish that they'd remove those ugly black bezels! It only looks good when the screen is off. They could thicken the white bezels, it not an issue, but to make it thin and then put black grids, its crazy ugly.

Much better SOC than mi5???? What are u smoking???
Gorilla glass was present on mi5 which is much cheaper than mi5s ryt now so dont talk about cost cutting.....
OIS is the only reliable stabilizing tech ryt now, eis is still in development mode...... maybe in the future it will take over...
And front cam is the same ultrapixel shooter, get your facts straight....
The performance difference is non-existent in real world usage.....
Mi5 is more compact, lighter, cheaper and better looking than mi5s.....
Take a look at that black border around the display for instance.....
Mi5s is in no way an upgrade to mi5.......
Its just another option......

Aptx may solve some of that (btw, does the Mi5s support the standard? cause the Mi5 does not), but only some. And I am saying this although I use my BT headphones more frequently than my 4 wired pairs taken together. So if audio is important, go with Mi5, which is particularly good in this dept., despite lacking a standalone DAC.

already brought Malaysia , Mi 5 set . the camera normal setup are lose to Note 4 , no chance near Note 5 i guess in indoor warm light condition. Battery are not suffiicient for now day always data on situation. i need to charge it at noon , which i can't make it .i always need to outdoor . so the 5000mah battery phone Lenovo P1 will still the best . of course if u can charge ur phone at noon. i would said this is the good phone , fast charging really work in 30 mins to pump up to 60%.
fall once . the screen & back not broke..

Harry, 27 Oct 2016Uff, I'm so disappointed. The battery seems worse 'cause of... moreI'm disappointed myself, instead of this phone being a fantastic all round package and a no-brainer, you have to weigh its pros and cons like any other device.
Yes, Bluetooth headphones use their own integrated DAC chip, however, I would advise against it, as most have crappy DACs and those that don't are usually insanely expensive (of course, if you own a pair that you are already happy with, go ahead it won't sound different). I would personally recommend buying one high-end DAC and using it on your computer/phone/car audio and have great sound no matter how crap the device is you are using. For example, check this DAC and compare it to any of GSMarena's numbers: http://hifimediy.com/Sabre-9018-Type-C-DAC . You buy it once and never have to deal with crappy audio again. There are better ones available, but except for one that offers asynchronous USB isolation it is impossible to have an audible difference in quality, and even that seems unnecessary. It uses a flagship audiophile DAC from Sabre that is used in very expensive systems - Google the DAC and see for yourself.
Anyway, the Mi5 has a fantastic DAC, so it would be a waste if you decide to go with that and get an external DAC. The Mi5s, however, has downright sh#t output.

Harry, 26 Oct 2016I looked forward to read this review. I have few questions:... more1) Yes they can improve speaker quality by pushing a ROM update, but headphone output is unlikely to change (unless you use an external DAC)
2) Yes camera quality has improved before on Xiaomi phones through software updates
3) The camera would perform better if you can load the Pixel ROM. However, you can't, as Google kept their low-level optimizations exclusive to the Pixel and it's very unlikely to ever reach the Mi5s.
Rule of thumb when buying a smartphone is: If you don't like it how it is now, don't buy it with the expectation of improving over time. I'm seriously considering the Mi5 over the Mi5s myself (for the audio, battery life and already open source kernel tree).
