I have tried to charge with choetech 3.0 fast charger and got the same results.

Mi5S changes that was noticeable and well appreciated in comparison to Mi5.
1. Camera :) awesome new sensor
2. Better and faster charging than Mi5. I had previously Mi5 which took hour and half on average. Mi5S charges 40% in 15 minutes and 100 % in 50 to 60 minutes. I have been using it for 2 weeks now. Battery back up is 1 full day ranging from 20 to 30 hours depending on usage/games/video/web browsing.
3. screen is same and display doesn't feel any different but my 128GB&4GB variant supports 3D touch.
4. phone gets warm a little..highest temperature I have noticed is 42 C. average is 33 C
5. speaker sound is average, not very impressive. I would advise against using only with speaker. It doesn't have stereo speakers either. Earphone sound is very good.
6. usage experience is excellent, so far no lagging in phone itself though some apps crashed due to permission restriction. If your weather app or any other apps keep crashing look it up for its permission requirements. That will most likely fix the problem.
7. the volume and power buttons are little loose, but perfectly functional.
8. It takes some time getting used to using the fingerprint unlocking.
If you are considering to buy, I recommend $379 at aliexpress for 128GB&4GB variant.

I used Xiaomi mi5 64GB black few months back and now I am using mi5S 4GB 128GB silver right now for a week. Here is my opinion about the difference between MI5 and MI5S and whether you should pick one over another:
1.) My MI5S bought from ali express, cheaper than other stores, came with global 8.0.10.0 but that was custom ROM installed by Ali express. you can use it without any trouble. however I can't trust custom roms as there could have backdoor built into them.
There is no official global ROM but only China Developer and China Stable ROM available for MI5S, on other hand MI5 has Global stable ROM for few months now. But this shouldn't bother you much after making few changes.
a) Without the need to roting the device, or unlocking the bootloader you can install google installer for miui8 from internet. That will install gogle play store. then you can install all your apps from your gmail account. put all chinese character apps into a folder, install english keyboard and other most common apps. You will be good to go.
b)Should you decide to install different ROM, go see tutorials made in details for that. use china stable ROM instead of china developer rom, because stable ROM is with less bugs and won't ask you every other day of week to upgrade the incremental MIUI8 version. like if you are on 8.0.17.0, in few days you will get 8.0.18.0, then again, 8.0.20.0 and so on. China stable is pretty stable.
2) Camera is simply amazig in the MI5S. My roommate has oneplus 3 and we keep comparing our phones. MI5 wasn't as good as oneplus 3 but MI5S has turned the tables. With new and bigger sony sensor..the quality is simply fantastic.
3)3D touch available on my 4GB 128 GB variant is a great add on, haven't needed to use it but its there. Its like right click context menu for certain apps like messages, notes, etc.
4) Ultrasonic Fingerprint: at first I was worried that the unlocking speed and acuracy wasn't even close to MI5 but after properly placing my fingers over it, I got used to it.
5) 4GB ram is enough. 2.3 gb ram is left free after system use which is enough for good gaming and multitasking experience.
6) you wouldn't believe how similar it feels like MI5 in weight and hand holding aspect, but yet there is pleasant distinction due to its metallic build.
7)only downside I have felt is that it doesn't have a gorilla glass protection as MI5 and as of yet, no such screen protection or case is easily available in market.
I hope you make good decision. I personally found it worth the upgrade.
