Kindly note that the flagship product of Xiaomi the MI5 has major issues in GPS. After the Andriod ver 7 same majority of the phones started having issues. Even after almost an year Xiaomi has not found a solution . You have to be a software developer and do changes in firmware to get this rectified.
When you call the support desk they ask to do a factory reset which is cumbersome. Even after doing that it does not work. Just type " GPS not working MI " and you will see the complaints from world over . Read the frustration and you will not dare buy MI products.
They are busy only selling and not even bothered to give fixes to existing customers. In today's world service is most important, Companies have collapsed only because of poor service, and hope the CEO Mr. Manu jain takes note of this.
So even if your MI is working today, you never know the compability status when new version of Andriods are launched. So its better to spend more on a reliable brand as it comes out to be cheaper in long run and that too without hassles.
Regards,
Sandip

PK, 29 Sep 2017I would to share my feedback about phone....MI5
I becom... moreAlways buy Mi5, there is no comparison between A and Mi5, Mi5 is a premium smartphone with snapdragon processor and decent Camera while the A1 is a midrange smartphone with dual camera. Check the reviews on YouTube etc, you will get to know that in real life performance the camera is not that good as advertised. Further the camera of Mi 5 is just brilliant 16mp with OIS 4axis. If you learn how to use the manual modes and all, you will explore a bunch of its features.
Another thing that people are saying that A1 is stock android and all, I personally love the modi interface, if has lot of customization. Now the battery life and performance is just wow, look at the design Mi 5 is the sexiest phone for this price. So my choice is Mi 5.

But if your looking for a stock android phone, with mid-range specs, decent camera, and a good sized battery, go for the a1. In my opinion I would choose the mi 5.

I become a Fan of Xiaomi after my first fitness battery life.
I decided to go for Mi5 as my phone.
Dont Buy Mi5
It was with Miui 7 and battrey life 2 days and day after I got option to 8 and then i had horrible experiences, very frequently new updates which fix something and break something and thats loop.
Global, Stable , Beta ...heck all that tech jargans.
Now there is issue with Motherboard, Phone almost dead and when I visited service center they said its common issue with Mi5 , SO NO TO MI5 .......

the best way is to upgrade to miui9, if your phone is locked, go ask for unlock permission then flash your phone to miui9, remember to backup your phone as it will wipe off your data completely.

AnonD-702338, 21 Sep 2017How to upgrade from miui 8 to miui9?
If you are on stable ROM then first thing you need to do is, lodge a request from settings menu for unlocking your bootloader. It takes around 3-4 days to get the approval. Once you get the approval, wait for at least 72hours and then proceed with the steps required to install Beta version of MIUI9.
STEPS:
1: Download MIUI9 ROM.
2: Download MIUI Flash tool.
3: Connect your phone to the laptop.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Please go to the below link, you will get all the details and information.
