Anonymous, 19 Feb 2017MI5 design quality is very poor, easily bent and brokenYes it bend and broke but how easy? Do you perform JerryRig at home dude so you need phone like tank? Lol No. So stop being hater.
I have mi 5, it sometime slip and still no broke or scratch. No softcase or hardcase! I always put in my back pocket and no bend indication. So why so negative? Hater ha!
Tell me better phone that can compete with mi 5 in price range USD225? SPEC, PERFORMANCE AND BUILT! Have some balls dude!

But the actually the problem was IT WAS HUNG... I can't give you a guarantee.. Still I can advice you to perform a soft reset(or reboot).
My teacher first went to a well-decorated mobile-repairing centre.. There they said it must be replaced.. But then a guy, repairing mobile on the footpath said he can fix it... And he really did it. That too within minutes(though I don't know what he did)... JUST SHARING EXPERIENCE...

4G in Indonesia issue, just change location to Malaysia, done, work well and happy.
Dead because of RAM problem? Nonsense. I don't know if you tell us truth or lie.
Money never lie? Have you ever use iPhone? Galaxy S series? Or other premium phone? All phone have problems, but probability to fault is never 0.
I'm not xiaomi fans, JUST SHARING.

I would like to share my testimonial for using Mi5 since June 2016 - Feb 2017..
A little background before I used mi5, I've been using redmi 2s for almost 15 months. Red mi 2s has been really great aside from its low memory and being unable to move apps to an external SD card. I still remember how hyped i am when mi5 was finally announced! redmi 2s has been worth my money and being a fan of the underdog I definitely wanted to upgrade into mi5 seeing how it compares to the (used to be) new samsung and iphone.
So I finally bought my mi5 on June 2016.. The first month is soo awesome! I boasted about mi5 to all my friends and family! The camera is no doubt one of the best in 2016 and the color of the video record is outstanding! Games are no big deal! It can load games very fast and fps never went down. It also takes a while for it to eventually heat up which i'm pretty sure is normal and i probably need to stop playing by that time it happens. Above all, it is wayyyy cheaper than the over hype samsung s7/iPhone7 which i think is probably on par with mi5.
Then the second month came.. Problem started to happen. When receiving a text messages, my Mi5 can suddenly vibrates vigorously and never stop until I restart the device. Well it is not a big deal since it is easily stop by just restarting it and it doesnt happen everyday. Maybe once a month(?).
On November 2016, my Mi5 4G stop working.. Not that it stops working completely but there is a problem with the internet DATA connection. Wi-Fi works fine but if i am not using wi-fi, my internet will keep switching between H+, 4G, and no signal.. I live in Indonesia and I thought maybe it is the service provider fault that this happens.. But no! We finally figure out that somehow this Mi5 keeps trying to connect to 4G but keeps getting blocked.. I change my mi5 settings to "Prefered 3G" and everything went back to normal..
It's all happy and well until Feb 12 2017 happens.. Its just like any ordinary days.. I happen to charge my battery during lunch time and been using it normally until around 5 PM.. I went for an exercise and check my Mi5 again around 7 PM.. and THERE IT IS! It's off and I can't turn it back on! I remembered I charged it on the afternoon and there is no way the battery died within just a few hours.. but I'm still being positive! so when I went home I charged it for a couple hours thinking that it might just turn on again.. There is no light indicator of it charging / being charged so I google and tried every possible ways to turn it on without having to open the screws (which will void the warranty). No luck! I brought it to the service center the next day and after a week I finally found out that it is totally dead! It can't be fixed since the problem lies around the RAM area.. The area will just turn really hot when it is charged and nothing will happen.
So thats my experience on using Mi5 for about 9 months.. It could be just that i am unlucky that all this problem occured, but you can actually google all the problems that i have face and THERE ARE people with the same problem as me.. Well, its worth the try but it is just proof that $$ doesnt lie..

Android 7 (Nougat) is not (yet) avaiable for Mi5 , but MIUI 8 is still based on Android 6.X.x.
If u bought the phone at Gearbest or another Import Dealer u might have a "fake" MIUI Version and maybe u need to flash to an official ROM at first.

Best flagship device in this price segment.
Snapdragon 820 runs like a charm.
The stylish black look & the front camera which is awesome.

AnonD-34934, 16 Feb 2017Hi Jeeva. I am using MI5 with Android 7.0 global miui beta.... moreI am facing only two issues:
1. No miss call notifications in the default app, I have installed true caller and only true caller is showing the miss call notification.
2. Contacts mixing with others.
Did you face any of this issue and any solution for this.

From previous galaxy A5, I've switched to this gorgeous phone. It is far better from the A5, in terms of camera(rear and front), display(ips but very vibrant), speed, skin(MIUI) and more. The only reason that I hate it, slippery.

don't keep mi5 in your trousers pocket. keep in hand or in the shirt's pocket.
