HaDi94, 06 Mar 2018what do you think guys ?
Samsung J7 Pro, or Xiaomi Mi5 ?Although Mi5 is a year older, it's still a flagship, vs a lower mid J7 Pro.
The advantage of J7 Pro is its screen size, AMOLED, bigger battery that comes with weight. The rest still the Mi5.
Choose the one that suit your needs.

what props with this phone is
1- slippery back cover, better use cover or back sticker
2- touch screen panel easy broke ( mine crack by my key knock on it, and 2 time my kalimba fall on it, but still not effect my screen except for the digitizer.
3. - temperature, every one know that any Snapdragon is hot so no big deal because it hot while gaming, 4glte download especially with adm downloader.
5.- line coverage is normal as note7 hardware, as long is snapdragon, so dont expect so much because its not phone problem its a telco which earn more but less coverage.
conclusion for the price i no regret as i bought it cheap than s7. only i hate the slippery cover and easy crack screen

I m from Bangladesh I bought this phone a week ago by paying 20500k and this is the greatest phone I got at the cheapest price. It's a lite beast. Superb camera. The mighty snapdragon 820 performs powerfully at gaming, multitasking and everyway. It heats up like 43-45 degrees when heavy gaming bt doesn't lag anymore. I have received nougat bt no oreo...Its a dream smartphone I would say.

Had this phone for about 10-11 months before switching to the Pixel 2 XL, and let me tell you it's not a bad phone. It's fast, has a clean android skin, and for the price, you really can't beat it. I will say however, it's no Pixel. After using both, the Mi 5 feels cheap and light in the hand and is extremely slippery due to the rounded glass back.
Pros:
-Fast (flagship like internals from a year ago)
-MIUI which IMO is pretty clean
-Great battery life (if you put it on battery saving mode, you can easily last 2 days and suffer little to no performance issues)
-Rear camera is ok, although colors are a bit muted and photos are usually very grainy in low light
-Speakers are decent
-The fingerprint sensor is one of the fastest I've ever used. On par with the Pixel 2 XL or iPhone 7-8
-USB C
Cons
-Cheap, fragile design. Can easily fold in half
-If in places other than Asia, repair services are almost impossible to find.
-Likely to slip out of your hand without a case due to the glass back
-No wireless charging (why else have a glass back???)
-Front facing camera is honestly a piece of garbage The photos this camera takes are consistently the worst I have ever seen on a phone.
All-in-all, this phone is great if you're on a budget. Just be weary that the front-facing camera constantly disappoints and the phone is pretty fragile.
