Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus

MasEnha

The only problem for me is the main camera thats can't focus, but recently the battery drain quite fast. Despite its normal thing that battery would degrade after 2.5 yrs or so, the unlucky thing is that we can't find genuine battery replacement anywhere (if anybody hv info please let me know). Btw I'm using official Lineage OS (v15.1) which fairly stable and significantly lighter than the original.

I have the Mi 5 & Mi 5s Plus. Very problematic. Xiaomi is strictly not recommended in my humble opinion.

Dom

I'm on Miui 10. Where did the black/white camera mode go???

Kaba

This phone is suck since updated to miui 9 and 10. They need deleting thermals to be powerfull smartphone.

Well, I have the phone. There is some throttling when charging but otherwise, it fine. I can split screen a demanding game (Dissidis Final Fantasy Opera Omnia) and YouTube and the phone can handle it just fine. I'd recommend a newer model like the Mi 8 though

Adi

how's the battery backup of this phone

MasEnha

No it's not. On upcoming year(s) gaming will be more demanding. This phone do handling better than mediocre specs but it's not the best choice to handle heavy gaming usages. You need to find phone with better chipset & better batt capacity.

Bobby

Guys, is this a good phone for heavy gaming? And can I expect it to last more than 2 years?

MasEnha

Global stable Oreo update was coming to my phone on Yest. Around 1.6GiB. At first it lags like crazy however after clearing the caches everything looks normal.

Dom

Just git MIUI 10. Everything became uglier. The fonts in particular.

AnoM

Official Global ROM with MIUI9 is still Android 7.0. But the MIUI10 on the beta version already is Android 8.0, so just need to wait for the update. At least it will officially updated to Android 8.0.

Saline

Hey guys wdyt, Mi5, Mi5S, or Mi5S Plus? Which one is better on performance?

Anonymous

This is normal infact it is a feature when it detects more light it will increase the contrast of the screen to see content better

MasEnha

I've compared the screen of Mi 5s Plus vs Redmi Note 5 Sammy A6. Mi 5s Plus screen beat both phones by miles. Mine in a good condition after a year or two, however the main camera can't focus. Anybody know the link for replacement?

milkinc

Just got Oreo though

Wow, you are replying comments from half years ago. By this moment, counting also the grey import, Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus is one of the most affordable smartphone with SD821 (second is HTC U Ultra) , but it's official ROM stuck at Android 7.0, probably won't get upgrade to Android 8.0, same fate as Mi 5s, however the original Mi5 do get Android 8.0. Then this Mi 5s Plus' sibling, Mi Note 2, and Mi Mix also get Android 8.0. If strictly based on value, depend on region too, the currently launched Mi8 is actually much cheaper than Mi 5s Plus launching price last time, and now same price as Mi Mix, Mi Mix 2, and Mi Note 2. So, getting the Mi8 will be the no brainer choice. At my country, Mi8 undercut Oneplus 6 by very huge price different. Of course, plenty of choice here, there is a killer same pricing ASUS Zenfone 5z and also Honor brand smartphones.

Dom

My screen gets washed out colors on auto brightness under direct sunlight. Anyone with the same experience?

Jaja

after using 1 year, and almost 2 years my phone still working normally. almost everyday using my phone for gaming (semi-hardcore), the problem is always same, overheat. but overall is really good. about camera, nothing special. but if you love about monochrome fotography, i suggest this phone.

mi 5s plus poweruser

Mi 5s plus have most slow update rollout while redmi note 4 have highest. Mi 5s Plus also have best performance due to using 2016's flagship CPU and GPU, Snapdragon 821 / Adreno 530, but due to Xiaomi policy,gaming performance is considerably capped to prevent overheating, but normal multitasking is a breeze, can compete with current 2018 flagships. Samsung, cant say, as i am not a fan of those boring Samsung UI, also overpriced compared to its spec As Mi Max 2,actually Mi Max 1 is better in terms of performance, better GPU. p Mi 5s Plus price also highest among all phones u mention

campion

which one would you advice to get. this or huawei honor 9?

AnonD-742136

i changed my battery.now performing 85% of battery life, speed still ok, performance still ok, want to chang to a new one but the new phones today still doest gone far from this phone,.just camera and a bit of performance difference

Norton

yes mine too. it works about half a day.

Chibykec

I have MI 5s plus and my wife has MI Note 2, i admire mi note 2 for its curve and the band 28(700) for the international version, right now am looking for where to get the screen. Aside the curvenes, small at hand compare with MI 5s plus and the network bands, i think Mi 5s plus is better. Better battery, better camera, more roughed than MI Note 2.

mi 5s plus poweruser

well i had same problem, after more than 1 year use...screen has yellowish tint at bottonm of screen...perhaps screen glue overheat, disappear when cooling down about battery yes,its sign of degraded battery,mine also. planned to order battery online

emuru

i agree with you,mine is so weak too.screen time is about 4 hours

AnonD-742136

Good day, just wanna ask, is your 5s plus right now battery performance still good? i already have this almost one year but the battery gone really weak, before it can last for an entire day and still have a bit of charge, but now just half the day. how about yours?

shayan tale

go get oneplus 5

Amir

too poor Bluetooth too poor wifi very slippery body reflection in screen narrow margin but good battery, performance and speed I have one. don't buy it. It is a waste of money

Which one is better? De Xiaomi Mi 5s plus or the xiaomi mi note 2? Who has the answer and why?

dimz

mi 5s plus is a great deal to invest in 2017-2018 I think, it is still worth to buy, and quite cheap.

Ian

If you're talking about performance, this phone is way above those phones. You can check the xiaomi mi 5s if you're into camera. It has a better sensor, but still has no OIS. The only difference is that the plus has bigger battery, higher clock speed 821 chip, and bigger screen (obviously).

Flipp

Yes, 5s Plus is still a great phone. Very fast, great screen, fantastic battery life.

Guys, is this phone still worth it to buy this december 2017? as we all know a year has passed. Also, i am confused wether to buy xiomi mi 5s plus, xiaomi redmi note 4, mi max 2 or samsung J7 pro. What do you guys think? Thank you so much for your answer

Thanks dude!! Its work... Cheers

The phone is very good, responsive, and fast, but the camera is not good at all. the quality of the pictures is very bad for a phone that suppose to be one of the flagship phones in the range. My low cost Lenovo phone takes much much better pictures than the Mi5s. Very disappointed.

AnonD-709994

Yes. Just click on the stereo mode, take picture. And look at the preview. Click the stereo mode again and tap on the focus area as you wish. Adjust the focus at the bottom I usually use F.2.0). The area which u did not tap will be blur

Miui 9 pretty good, very responsive. Try it!

Look for the ported Google Camera on xda. Try it out on your 5s Plus. Makes a hell of a difference in photo quality!

Anonymous

For a device still running Android 6 the price should be reasonable. That gallery post processing doesn't qualify as bokeh. The back camera/s are awful, they could have improved the camera software till now (since the device was launched a year ago) but didn't and I doubt they will improve it in the future.

after updating the phone to miui 8.5.2 everything got worse , specially the fingerprint.

Flipp

No need to wait. I works really good, at least for still images. HDR+ is much better than MIUI Camera HDR or Stereo Mode. Im using HDR+ all the time, even when taking daylight stills. According to me, this phone has no weakness anymore: Great screen Fantastic battery life Great in hand feel Stupid fast performance Very good still camera (when using Google Camera and HDR+)

Dom

Good to know! Thanks! Waiting for the stable release, then trying the apk out myself.

Flipp

Still photos is vastly improved using the ported Google Camera with HDR+. However, you need Android 7 in order to install the google camera apk. For me it works on both MIUI 9 Beta (Xiaomi EU rom) and Lineage OS. Much improved pictures in low light.

Depending on price, the 4gb RAM version goes for 300$ right now and I'd say it's worth those 300 bucks. The SD821 inside is Qualcomm's "last year's flagship SOC" but still way more powerful than any new or old SD4XX or SD6XX you can find on similar priced phones BUT the camera is awful (forgot about low or moderate light pictures) and it's still running Android 6 and nobody knows when it will be finally upgraded to Nougat(MIUI 9 based on Nougat for global users seems months away).

Tested for you, video file, especial MKV file with size more than 4GB can be copied into the internal memory. Guess Xiaomi's MIUI only doesn't support large file (exFAT/NTFS) for Micro SD card, but their internal memory do support storing larger size file.

Anonymous

Don't think you could get anything better for 300$. Low light photos aren't top notch but acceptable... ... I got mine (all black) last week and the overall performance is great. Just one thing though, waiting/hooping for MIUI 9

If anyone of you has the 64GB or 128GB version, can confirm for me if this phone's internal storage can store single video file that is larger than 4GB? I just found out this limitation on my Micro SD card where in FAT32, I cannot store file over 4GB. Advises are formatting to exFAT or NTFS, but neither of the format can be supported by my phone.

Demand for storage is increasing since cameras store pics taking space up to 5-8 Mbs per pic. My 32Gb Samsung gets filled after 1-2 Months just with pics. So 64-128 GB storage demands perfectly makes sense.

Anonymous

Are you sure you own a Mi 5s Plus? 1. 64gb and 128gb is more than enough for normal usage unless you want to store porn. Clearly, you should have done some research before buying since your demand on storage is quite specific. 2. OTG doesn't work means it's either your usb or OTG port got problem. 3. Only 1 sim can be activate for data, that's how it work for all the phones right now. However, call in/out is activated for both sim at the same time. Unless you are a noob that don't understand how it works. 4. How many phones at this price point take good photos in low light? Even Zenfone 3, OnePlus 3 and Zuk Z2 Pro couldn't do that. Again, you should have done some research before buying since your demand on photo capability is quite specific. No phone is free of problems. Your mistake is not able to understand the phone that you are going to buy.

Anonymous

other than camera i find nothing of ur complain relevant. Most phones do allow u to use 2sims together including this, tried myself. it cant call or use lte on both network is something u cant change for now, even for samsung phones. Storage option is already stated its ur own fault that you didnt check it out. As for otg, is largely irrelevant today but i tried it out myself seems working for me as far as i'm concerned. and if ur referring to listening to music using usb-c u need to know that not all usb c supports audio output and this one has a headphone jack. so dun complain about a phone you got for ard 300~400 dollars. If you want real value for money then u should do more research and spend more and get a samsung/apple/lg/or even oneplus

Please don't buy Xiaomi phones. I've been using Mi4i for one and half years. While the processor speed, display and camera is very good, the phone heats up too much. The speaker quality is very poor. But the main CON is that every time I talk on the phone for 3 mins or more, I start getting pain in my ear and neck. The phone is a health hazard. Strongly recommend that you stay away from it.

absolutely MI 5s plus

You can just choose between Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL or MI 5S Plus. Zenfone is better though. but when it comes to specs these 2 devices competes the TOP Spot. IPHONE AND SHIT SAMSUNG are just Overpriced but not well designed and Lower Specs. You're paying the brand my friends. When you a phone look at the specs not the brand.

I've been using thia fone for about 4 months now,here's my honest review -the phone is fast and responsive. there are times that some of my apps (like fb) hangs. Just updated the apps and everything works fine -battery. Perfect. Whole day connected to my data and doing some browsing and music and still kickin on the 2nd day. -screen. no issues yet. all good and fine. you just have to set the brightness high if you're outside under the sun. -playing hardcore games is fast. I usually play nba 2k17 but sometimes, I feel the lag, maybe because of ram management( i owned 6gb of ram). You just need to close all open apps in the background and it is all good.

Rex Tech

I didn't even knew about LeEco lemax 2 until you mentioned it lol XD But yeah,well said. But the reason Xiaomi didn't put a 2k screen is because it will drain the battery faster.Here you will have a perfect gaming device.Sony did the same with XZ.Great strategies imo.

AnonD-656008

Would you take this or the honor note 8 ? Every phone has its own pros and cos though the only thing holding me back from this is Xiaomi's UI, and the only thing holding me back from the honor note 8 is the gpu as i have read some bad reviews. All what is care about is screen and performance, i barely use the camera for example therefore it's not a deal breaker for me.

Anonymous

And no 2k screen but the 4/64GB model is now going for ~330$.If you can find a better 5.7-6" high end mix @ that price please let me know. And please don't say LeEco lemax 2.Great value for money no doubt but it's in a lower league,build quality certainly isn't better,the software optimization is... actually isn't and don't expect any upgrades. PS.It's clear that they borrowed a little to much from the budget Redmi series(not cool at all) on this model but you're making it sound like it feels cheep and it's doesn't.

-> Not fully.The main problem (on most Chinese brands models not meant for the EMEA market.why would they include bands that are not used in the target market) is the lack of band 20(meaning FDD 800). In Europe this is a major disadvantage mostly for the inhabitants of rural areas as B20 is generally used in those areas because it can cover larger areas compared with higher frequency brands that cover less​ but can provide higher speed. So you will have 4G in some​ places and in other places that are covered with the missing bands it will drop to 3G. It's a software limitation,the SOC can handle almost all the bands used in the world. Is 3G that bad in the UK or are you interested in VoLTE? Personnel curiosity

For mobile devices, if lots of cpu power is needed, lots of mah power will be needed. it would be technically a joke even if your battery have like 10,000 mah. Also, never heard of SND801 being overheated, unless maybe some unknown chinese made cheap plastic body devices. The famous SND SOC is 810. So, on the contrast, k knows what he talks about

k

you must be one of those extreme user who "need" lots of cpu power you have come to the wrong device, appatently

k

oh and no. you must be non-english speaker i state and explainted clearly its rhetorical

k

whatever you said, still doesnt change the fact that its a minus. to put it simple and straight forward it is a cunning marketing strategy, using competitor's code (5, 5s, 5s plus) to con idiots ... like ... you know who

Mi 5s Plus Poweruser

so u seems 'enough' on other specs except screen and camera(probably), yes for average user its valid but for me, used redmi note 3 pro 3gb ram to the point it finally lags where running certain heavy apps, where it shouldn't because SND650. i have bad experience with SND801, overheating on my previous oppo find 7a, which i didn't get on redmi note 3,so that's a minus as for camera, mi 5s plus is comparable to mi max, its rear dualcam is more gimmick although it functions well. if for camera go for mi5/s. mi 5s plus for pure SND821 power.

k

bad camera on bigger screen looks super ugly, cheaper body material makes it look cheap plus ugly design, these are big minus to me. I dont really care about CPU, because even in gaming, sd801 plus 3g ram fulfill everything i needed, so anything extra on CPU is meaningless, in my opinion. on 2k resolution, what i typed before is retorical, meaning some people (who obviously dont know what he/she talks about) thinks 2k on 5.7inch is a good idea and i dont agree with them.

Mi 5s Plus Poweruser

regarding 2k resolution, do we even need it? in the future, maybe, but present times even Huawei flagships still uses 1920x1080. look at LG V20. ur beloved 4k resolution is there, and endurance is half than Mi 5s Plus. Xperia z5 premium, its 4k only activated when view media, still endurance matching the LG. i dont want charging my phone before the end of the day.

Mi 5s Plus Poweruser

oh do u think the Plus is a downgrade? Faster Kryo cores, 6gb RAM, +0.6inch screen, Mono camera, IR blaster, signature Mi buttons (Samsung-like buttons r ugly), better battery life despite faster cores(no need powerbank anymore). And I say it because im an owner, i experienced it.

Mi5sPlus Poweruser

as an owner of this beast i dont see any real downgrade from Mi5 or Mi5s except OIS/ceramic body(Mi5) and bigger sensor (Mi5s). at MYR 1799, wheres can u find other SND 821-powered phones at that real cheap price? Mi5s probably, but Mi5s Plus clocked at 2.34ghz Kryo cores, faster but better battry life compared to Mi5s,thanks to SND 821 and IPS screen really helping extending the battery endurance. Since im using Mi5s plus, i dont need to use my powerbank, Mi 20000mah anymore, despite all-time mobile data on, Bluetooth on(paired with my Garmin Fenix 3 HR all day), facebook browsing every 10 mins, games 2 hours total and it still have 50% at the end of the day. See that battery endurance? Yes the camera maybe a little disappointing, but do u use ur camera all day? Ur CPU does! thinking of buying Mi5 as 2nd phone.

k

dont just look at screen size. using iphone standard, iphone x plus means it has everything equivalent or better than iphone x plus a bigger screen size. in mi 5s plus, except a bigger screen size, it has many downgrades compare to mi 5s. therefore, if we apply iphone standard, it is not a plus but a minus. if you still dont get it, you must be one of those guys who think that a 2k resolution on a 5.7 inch screen is a good idea.

sohail shafayat

Does the primary camera has f/2.0 or f/2.2 aperture? What about the low performance cores, 2.2 GHz or 2.0 GHz? Who can confirm?

ya its nice with newer camera sensor....but just use it since is nice to use.....the performance look good until now and not everyone use camera everytime....

AnonD-322352

Samsung? Constant update? Don't make me laugh. Those two don't go well together. Also, I would like to inform you that Nougat for the S6 is not available as of now. So, stop spreading BS. FYI, the Mi 4, which is a 2014 flagship, got Marshmallow before the S6. So much for constant update. (http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_4_starts_gett­ing_android_601_marshmallow_update-news-16225.ph­p) Galaxies have much better cameras, yes. There's no denying that. As if Galaxies don't do that sort of thing. The S7 overheats so much that it loses 25% of its performance. That's bad, and you know that. (http://wccftech.com/galaxy-s7-loses-25-gaming-p­erformance/) Regarding the call quality of Mi Mix, I didn't find much info about it. And the only 2 findings I got are conflicting. Also, only Galaxies lag and skip frames. Seriously, every year we get rumours about how they're going to optimise their phones and all. And every year they still dissapoint. Samsung flagships still post embarassing performance result... (https://www.xda-developers.com/with-the-note-7-­samsung-still-delivers-embarrassing-real-world-p­erformance/) Not everything. But at this point, you're comparing the Mi 5s Plus to a more expensive phone. Galaxy S6 offers better performance? I've lost my words. Its specs and software experience speak for themselves. Again, you've mistaken Samsung phones to Xiaomi phones. Yes you do get a much more capable camera with Samsung, but I would not trade everything just for the camera. Also, what a crappy analogy. You actually made it as if the M5P is better than the S6 (which it is). At least a cracker is useful as a food. What can you do with a brick? Sell it as a toy? You pay more to get a Galaxy because Samsung wants a big profit margin. That and the better customer support and QC. Scrapping older parts? M5P uses a new Sony sensor... Compared on what criteria? LCD alone makes it longer-lasting than its Samsung competitor (or any phone using AMOLED for this matter). A 1440p AMOLED panel is actually only very slightly finer than a 1440p AMOLED panel because the latter uses the weird pentile matrix. The latter also has a bonus of not having the 'screen door' effect. (https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleCardboard/commen­ts/3kk4zd/subpixels_and_vr_an_examination_of_ips­_vs_pentile/)

Hot damm! A sony sensor WOW ...such improvement.Start recording ... oh snap is this even Sony sensor ? Wobbly jiggly,stutter and oversharpened video.Even GSM arena told you how bad it is in night mode (sadly ppl don't read). Here is a video even: and The only reason why Xiaomi puts FHD screen is to reduce cost and increase speed on opening apps/gaming.Such strategy is used on the J7 2016 :).Then again for the price,it's great.I mean have you seen a QHD screen ? Same as the Axon 7 and LG G4/G5 it will not be battery efficient. I also said same specs as S6.But hey now,not everyone knows how to read these days ^_^

By that logic,include Iphone 7 as well.

Wrong! S7 and S7 edge explode too. But not as many as Note 7.

I think the gorilla Glass is a company advertisement and not more! Used galaxy s6 about 1 year with screen protector . Take off the protector from screen and used 6 months without any protector . After while my screen is now full of scratches !!! So what is the gorilla glass 4 ? The best way you protect the screen is to used additional screen protector such az nillkin .

S6 with better specs than Mi5s??? Are you sure xD? one have SD821 Kryo architecture and newest Sony Sensor IMX378 and other have old Arm Exynos with old features and poor battery endurance for QHD resolution its a big difference

Rex Tech

Only note 7 explodes,not other Samsung models,Samsung provides better and durable quality (which can be seen in bed tests),Xiaomi doesn't.Samsung provides constant updates on your android and now the S6 can get nougat but Xiaomi is still going along with Marshmellow.The OIS and camera quality are better on S6 and S7.The Axis on Xiaomi mi 5 isn't 4 but it's 2.Xiaomi phones tend to overheat as well.Xiaomi mi mix for example has poor call quality,average camera and lag/frame rate drops,stutter while gaming and Samsung flagships do not. Samsung S7 is out for a year and it's a beast in terms of everything,and the price point isn't much far away in my country. Pretty much S6 costs the same as Mi 5s and has same specs but far away better performance. Xiaomi will provide you great experience for a year or so,with 0 android updates (only for their apps) but Samsung will do on all.Xiaomi will provide you with average camera quality,Samsung with amazing one.Xiaomi will be a cracker,but S6 will be a small brick.You are paying a lot for Samsung becoz it uses it own parts and produces everything,Xiaomi scraps up older parts from older Sony generations/other manufacturers. I do agree Xiaomi is a lot cheaper,it's mant for the chinese market where ppl don't have money but want great experience.But it can't be compared with a manufacturer that is almost beating up iPhone. Battery quality was always better on Xiaomi,even on it's cheaper models for 100$.Can't argue with that.Plus LCD screen's are more durable than AMOLED. Plus nobody is forcing you to buy the newest Note 7 or others for higher price.Wait a little and you can see Samsung flagships price drop. Think about it.PS Samsung Note 7 only explodes,S6,7 and MANY others not.

Why can,t compare Xiaomi with Samsung well first at all Xiaomi doesn't explode in you hands or car, Second: when you say quality of materials that samsung use you meybe means looks like premiun but nothing more i was a Note 4 owner and i can sure you is not durable the metal frame got a lots of scrashes and metal decolorate on some parts and tell aluminium alloy do that xD? Because i have an ipod nano and is alloy too and still perfectly great, and otherwise the samsung battery quality is very poor only 1year out of the box and can't get a full day include with low brightness, and you say premiun i paid about 720 dollars for a premiun phone to use for long time about 2 years aprox but its not what i thinking my Xiaomi earphones and i have 2 years with them and all its perfect superb Durable and great quality Third: the Battery and screen Hours its terrible QHD was a great add but no enough screen Quality include the Note 4 Brightness and Colors are not precisely awesome the look like some grays include change screen mode, the bright was ok but low for the Expensive Note line, after the note was gone i got a Samsung E5 is 5 inches but trust me the colors and bright are very powerful and impresive for a economical samsung it was impact for me, 4. I never come back to samsung its to expensive for jokes and fancy non-useless apps and medium Quality materials, otherwise Xiaomi give an exeptional Quality including Screen, camera, audio, and REAL battery duration. The MIUI its one of the best optimized Systems running on Android over Samsung Lg and others soo don't need more than 2GB of ram to work ;) something samsung can't do it because its more interested on Marketing and Publicity and Outsourcing his products development its a fake just see the note 7 its a completely desaster. just think about more than 700 to 900 dollars for samsung cellphone and Xiaomi sell his smartphones sinse 250 to 450 with 4GB of Ram and 128GB storage easily with same SoC better factures and for less, so if you have a Samsung phones you need to paid first the marketing and publicity costs and then paid for the phone :/ No thank you we have better option a lot of options Just think about it

Yep,I understand what you mean. I was hoping for mi 5s plus, mi note 2, mi mix launches in India too, but it's not that xiaomi is dumping low end phones.it's the market in India. Budget phones with features are what most people look for. Few few are willing to spend more than a quarter of a lakh for a phone. Redmi note 3 recorded highest shipment in history for a reason. Low price, good features. If you want a really premium phone, you got to pay for it. I'm sure you would, but can't say for the majority of millions who look only for budget ones. You still can buy any xiaomi phone you want though. Pay little extra (sometimes none) for duty and import it from online shops.

aatif khan

It is not Xiaomi's fault. In the name of 'value for money', we Indians (most) are more interested in mid range and lower ended phones.Try to squeeze out the most from whatever is paid. Expectations are of flagship from a mid range product. From a low-end device like Moto E3, you will find people expecting to play Asphalt and other graphics intensive games (and when it fails,they blame the product as faulty) That is why Samsung, Micromax, OPPO, VIVO, GIONEE etc. sell like hot cakes.They offer tons of features at a low tag. Premium phones have very niche buyers. Xiaomi started off as an affordable brand in India. Mi5s siblings,Mi Mix,Mi note2 are premium offerings with 25k and upwards. these have different intended uses. The chunk of handsets sold during Diwali sale are redmi 3 series,the mid range and lower mid range offering. Even Mi 5 was on offer,but how many bought that???there are people who complain about absence of FM tuner.but that is not what a flagship is meant for. This reflects the mindsets of buyers. Every company has market research team and they understand the suitability.

qo

Mi 5s + , mi note2 & other hi end device not launch in india by xiaomi. only low range fon (garbage) dump in india? its not justified? r v indians fool? xiaomi sold moe than 10 lac fon in india just 18 days sale @ time of dipawali .

Scanner for Xiaomi mi disappear from Mao phone. 😂

DaXiong

It doesn't have LTE band 8 only GSM and WCDMA bands 8. Not good enough even in mainland China.

I have been using Xiaomi for a while now. I have Redmi Note 3 pro and Redmi 3S. They are just awesome.I really didn't expect this much from them in Such a price. Seeing Mi 5s plus what I can say is It is better than any other phone in that price range. Samsung should watch out because Xiaomi is cruising in Fast.

ssbatman21

but they do need the world's second largest smartphone market

rakeshvijay

yup ,micro SD is the feature which doesnt let me buy a le pro 3 , the phone would become thick as a result,but its still fine!! And i wish it had an OIS FM Radio can be streamed through many 3rd party apps,which aint a big deal for me!

Xiaomi devices are well build and so friendly for my pocket, but...they're so hungry resources, I've used mi4c 2/16 less than 1gb free ram after first boot out of box and become laggy after 2 months

Capitalism...

AnonD-591003

Keep calm, they will come. It's a Warfield on USA, very very different from reset of the world. Not a free easy market to enter, highly controlled by so called companies that's ripping users off.

Not soon! Al least 2-3 months. Say by Jan 2017.

Great phones from Xiaomi, but why not support Americas LTE?!?!? it's beyonf me, there so much business they could have here.

monu856

No 3D touch or even OIS in the camera :( Radio is missing since Note3 so really can't compalint. Rest is so perfect. Waiting for India launch.

krishk

Missing MI logo & ultrasonic finger scanner at front. Mi5S looks more premium than this.

AnonD-314205

Will we miss the 3D Touch that is deleted here but available at Mi5s?

AnonD-591003

How you find a copycat devices look better?! Redmi Pro, Note 3 are Xiaomis design and only devices not accused of any copying. And they also got award for this design.

AnonD-591003

Move from shamesung, it'll be your best decision trust me.

AnonD-591003

One Plus copied that look from HTC. But Xiaomi Note 3, Note Pro are Xiaomis own design.

Mary Poopins

It does have band 8 FDD-LTE (频段 B1，B3，B5，B7) TD-LTE (频段 B38，B39，B40，B41­) TD-SCDMA (频段 B34，B39) WCDMA (频段 B1，B2，B5，B8) GSM (频段 B2，B3，B5，B8) CDMA1X / EVDO (频段 BC0)

china people disappointed for this phone all people just said better look for oneplus3

Kd

When it will come to India???

Anonymous

But they all have one standard and one wide-angle camera, and here you have two cameras which work together. So it's almost impossible to have OIS in this configuration, because both cams need to see exactly the same picture

Omar

When will Xiaomi start adding 4G bands 8 and 20 to their phones? :-(

AnonD-557529

Waiting for Mi note 2 pro....

AnonD-563937

2nd vote there , and also that brushed metal finish is just ugly , look at this video i wish i could understand chinese but im bretty sure that guy in the end was making fun of that brushed back. still it beat op3 in speed 6:00 of the vid , dnt know if OP3 china rom is slower though!!

Dr.Minn

I just wanna clearify that Ultrasound is one of the safest tests to scan the body.

Check your budget and purchase the phone. Simple

These are top models from top companies.Apple iphone 7 is not a joke.

Yes,3GB RAM is sufficient.

Anonymous

Dear friends. I confused with specification of Mi 5, Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus. I was waiting for 4/6 GB RAM variant of Mi 5. But I found camera specification of new devices are not as good as Mi 5. In India only 3 GB RAM variant is available. I want to know whether 3 GB RAM is sufficient for multitasking in terms of speed. Kindly suggest for which I will be extremely thankful .

AnonD-505564

who cares my friend ? it is duable, and the mate 9 will prove same mechanism can use OIS the point here is we are not sure if it really doesnt have ois

BB

Don't think it will be Google Daydream compatible with that resolution unfortunately

AnonD-107876

This is mi Note 2???

AnonD-586823

used redmi note3,mi5. next plan mi 5s plus all over good. go ahead #xiaomi stay with you!

Chrjns

Those phones dual camera mechanism are diffrent than the one used in P9 and mi5s plus....

AnonD-505564

U r kidding, right ? iPhone 7, Lg g5, Lg v20... They all have 2 cameras and OIS

Anonymous

Did they serisouly leave out the 3d touch, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and 12mp camera, I mean it has dual camera but its 13mp camera :( regular mi 5s is my choice if it doesn't have at least the first two mentioned

AnonD-314205

Why they downgrade / dropped the 3D touch and Ultrasonic FingerPrint reader here in the Higher end Mi5s plus model comparing to the Mi5s? And too bad the camera is not dual 13MP?

ssbatman21

ois cant be used whenever there are dual cameras....

Anonymous

Maybe it would cost Xiaomi millions of dollars to include the FM radio so it is excluded whilst even a ten-dollar Nokia phone always has one. WTF!

Omid46

Dearest readers.Thanks goodness that finally Xiaomie heard its supporters loud voice of problems in its recent products.Xiaomie proved that if one wants it can top!!Written specifications,though exists no external memory slot!?,but other qualities of 64 and 128 gigabytes memory and 6 g ram plus 5.7 inches of todays standard screen and other superior qualities proves ascending and rising of Xiaomie again!!Of course,the previous Mi 5S almosthas the ssigns of rising qualities that hopefully to be considered and continues!!Congregations to Xiaomie and thanks to gsmArena to write a review on factwriting bases!See you soon!!Omid46....

why no fm radio complete all spec, except fm radio we need fm radio

Anonymous

Ok, but where is the promised Mi Note 2?

Anonymous

Yup, the aperture is narrow but check out the pixel size. They're even greater than in Galaxy S7 camera, and that also enhances low light performance. But the lack of OIS is not a good news for me... Anyway, i can't wait to see this camera setup in action ^^ And the lack of microsd is rather obvious in high-end Mi series. But would you really miss it with OTG and 128GB onboard?

ssbatman21

everything looks great. except the aperture.... xiaomi is the only smartphone manufacturer who went backwards in terms of aperture.... mi4 had f/1.8 which was really great in low light and long exposure shots.... i dont understand why they are using aperture which is narrower than their own 2 year old flagship. and micro sd card will make this a complete smartphone. i really hope they change their minds about it in the future.

Azhar Ali

Very good so much power full this smartphone

Hoffmann

The V20 and G5's cameras should have been in the same position as in the Mi 5s Plus because it looks so much cooler. Take notes LG !

AnonD-561130

I hope this gets released in the philippines... Been a samsung fan (planning to get the note 7) but with the issues, been thinking of switching to another brand...this could be perfect!!!

Shagrasniper

the best Android phone in terms of (everything). lets not forget about Xiaomi battery optimisation (3800mAh on the Mi 5 = 5000mAh on any other high end snapdragon device)

AnonD-257816

Does it has OIS?

JUSTIN

It looks ugly. The previous mi 5 got a better design.

Christian

No its other way around.Its hard to imagine dual camera setup with OIS! Iphone 7 Plus does have OIS,but only on one camera... But that's different because theirs camera work one at a time and no simultaneously like Huawei's P9!

Joe

ikr! really sucks! at least the Plus variant should have 2k.

Rpd

Not that great design...same as before...it should have a same look like mi 5s... design is really ugly...no black color.

TheMinimalTechie

man.... this phone would be soooo perfect if it weren't for those ugly permanent touch capacitive keys, why xiaomi why, dots would have been perfect like the mi 5s :(

Ario

Thank you Xiaomi for putting 1080p resolution. Practically higher resolution is not needed, it just increases battery usage without any visual difference. And what about ultrasonic sensor, ultrasonic devices in medicine is dangerous for healt, what about these ultrasonic sensors?

alireza

Dual 12 MP, f/2.0, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash 1/2.3" sensor size, 1.55µm pixel size you made me happy ! but unfortunately it's wrong 5s+ has dual 13mp cameras with f2.2 5s camera is better but it's screen is small :-(

crazy

There is no ultrasonic fingerprint under screen(Mi 5s plus). Only Mi 5S have ultrasonic fingerprint under screen

davidtb823

I agree with Hugo, but this is now a "me too phone" now that 6gig, low rez, meh battery phones are out there. If he wanted to kick ass, he should have gone 4000+mAh,or 8gigs, or higher resolution. People pay more attention to specs than to body colors (especially on the forums they announce this stuff) Once new market countries reach saturation, it's going to get a lot more competitive.

Chrjns

Its compact for a 5.7 phone even though its on the thick side... 128 gb black will be mine....

No high end Xiaomi products have SD card slots, Hugo barrah talked about why here: " He said, "For high performance devices, we are fundamentally against an SD card slot." He claimed that microSD cards are vulnerable to failure and in most cases malfunction in various conditions. Pointing out that counterfeit SD cards are quite common, he added they are usually of "extremely poor quality" and slow as well. Barra says some of the issues caused by microSD cards reported by Android smartphones users are app crashing and loss of data."

Why is Xiaomi still using 1080p?

AnonD-590220

please review this as soon as possible gsmarena heheh

GSM arena , please review Mi 5s Plus.

No SD Card? Lmao!!

Yousef nofal

previous expectations were faulty.

PETER

Had high expectations but No SD card, NO O.I.S. , NO Amoled screen (only 1080p at 5,7" = lower pixel density than expected) Think I'll wait for Huawei's offering, mate 9, later this year.

AnonD-555834

when it will come to india

AnonD-573583

can't wait for this one!! love it and reaaaalllyyyy reallyyy into it..

sabb

Are these official specs? hard to think dual cam set without OIS
