Patrick, 14 Jun 2016I will not recommend it. After using MI5 for 3 weeks, it t... moreI switched my xperia c4 to mi5.
Well.. 4 days using it, i dont have any big issue. Only from 3gb ram, 1.5gb already used by system.

Everything works well,nice design, good size,light weight, fingerprint sensor is great, battery runs much better than my C4,i think it's worth to buy.
Just consider to buy Mi5 with more internal memory capacity. Just to get rid from worried.. ;)

    I think Xiaomi sells what is not sold in China. In India no option other than White and 32GB..

      using mi5 for a week. It is an excellent phone given the price range. Games run good and so is the shutter speed when taking pictured. Haven't faced network issues post software update. Phone sometimes get hot when using high graphical games. The corning gorilla glass back panel got a scratch easily. Had to use hard cover. Screen sensitive. Used tempered glass. Overall it is a great phone to have.

                          Xiaomi Note 3 Pro Prime (top of the line) died on me after 2 weeks of usage. Battery at 50% and telephone randomly shut down. Then it won't turn on no matter what I did. I saw A TON of people with battery problems and bricked phones OUT OF NOWHERE. Plus all of the tutorials I followed won't work. Xiaomi doesn't respond to my complaints. I'll NEVER EVER purchase anything from Xiaomi again, because they are releasing faulty products into the market. Worse $300 ever spent.

                                Did you see these stealers sell their phone on Amazon with their name? or Do they have their high-end phone sell on store? NOOO. Other headset company will sue them.

                                  If you're are looking for a Windows phone, go for 525 or 530.but honestly Lumia under MS is not as good as it was with Nokia.

                                  Android phone. Go for Moto g turbo,mto x play or more recent Moto g4+. Decent ones with good performance and at great price.

                                  Xiaomi makes good phones. Better than any other Chinese or Samsung. Go for mi5 , if internal memory is not big issue.

                                      I will not recommend it.
                                      After using MI5 for 3 weeks, it tell me again China manufacturers could provide you the best hardware but sucks on software. I was using xperia Z3 before and although the MI5 comes with a powerful 820 processor, the user experiences is not good. THe scrolling is clunky especially on facebook. i installed the Asus Zen home application to replace the MIUI one, and is again very rusty experience. Comeon, is a 820 processor, i could only blame when they trying to fit the stupid MIUI into Android, the skills of the software engineer must be doing a good job, they only care getting the things done, but don't care about the final quality and user experience.
                                      I will not buy another MI phone again , even is cheap. Is a waste of the hardware using their come with MIUI and drivers.
                                      Also, compare with the software and the how things integrate with Xperia Z3 , MI5 is out of the league, far away. Again, this is not the first time i have this experience with 'Made in China' electronics, high spec poor experience..i think they need another 50 years to learn how to make things right... or longer...
                                      Additionally, the first MI5 i bought from the store suffer from hardware problem where it reboot every 1 hour, luckily the storefront allow me to replace with another new one.
                                      I am so disappointed with this MI5 phone, and I will buy an Xperia X instead when it comes out the market. I know is more pricy but the user experience will be much better I am sure.

With OP3, LeMax, Asus, Lenovo soon launching their flagship phones in India .. MI will not want to miss the bus especially when their products are in demand.
