Anonymous, 20 Mar 2016How much is samsung 32gb cost on release? How much is MI5 64GB on release? Anyway everyone ... moreOf course I aware about the cost differences between these 2 phones. What I mentioned previously are where the Mi5 fall short. As I can see, people are keep comparing these 2 for the camera performance and criticize Xiaomi for cheating them based on what they have advertised on their "4-axis OIS", I just find it ridiculous.

I like the review. Thank you GSMArena staff for the hard work. Thanks a lot.
Finally, a Mi flagship gets amazing audio output. Otherwise, I was stuck with a Redmi 2 for audio reasons only!

Camera seems amazing too, but isn't Ultrapixel a trademark of HTC?

Few things to aware if you seriously consider this phone:

1. Mi5 OIS is crap compare to Samsung Flagship, video steadiness is too artificial and screwed up.(test it before you want to say I'm talking shit)
2. Low light photo/video taking is bullshit, and same level with Mate 8
3. If camera and selfie are your main things, Mi5 is not for you.

However, performance wise, temperature control, audio quality(in term of speaker/headphone), Mi5 is on par if not better than S7.
