I owned the MI4s. Now, after the glass broke on the two sides (the MI4s is just too slippery without covers), I got the MI5s. One big drawback of the MI5s compared to the MI4s is the fingerprint sensor. On the MI5s it is on the front, which I find less usefull than on the back. BUT, that new type of fp sensor is only working one out of five times, and even if it is, it is extremely slow. I don't know why they changed that from the MI4s where it was working perfectly fine.

                  AnonD-645384, 17 Feb 2017Guys I need your help, should i go with mi5s 128gb or honor 8 64gb. Both with 4gb ram. Note: ... moreMi 5s:
                  SD821+Adreno is smoother, better battery efficiency and better graphic.
                  Lag: every phone lag bro but how many lag/day and how it take a time/lag, thats what matter. But for daily use, both SD or Kirin will not let you down.
                  Battery drain: mi 5s is better, definitely and cant denied by Huawei fanboy.
                  Camera: mi 5s with picture on the 4K and Full HD videos and honor 8 no 4K video capture, and the 1080p videos. Overall mi5s better in camera performance.

                  is the force touch/3D touch in mi5s good/close enough to the Apple iphone 6s = Iphone has it better, what mi have still have some issue with the compatible.

                    Note: Price and Storage 64/128 doesnt matter for me.
                    What I need is real life using comparisons, Lag, battery drain, etc. thanks guys. Kirin vs snapdragon ; mali vs adreno
                    And is the force touch/3D touch in mi5s good/close enough to the Apple iphone 6s?

                      Dear Friends,
                      Don't be worried about its rear camera bcz of 12MP. May be you skipped that it has 1.55µm pixel size which will give you far better picture quality than Mi5 (1.12µm).
                      Camera & Video quality of 5s just mind blowing bcz of its sensor size. For low light condition Mi5 is still surviving but i can bet that Mi5s will not disappoint you..
                      Mi5s > Mi5 for Design+Durability+Camera+Hardware

                        You are wrong - The camera on the Mi 5s is totally different and much better than the one on the Mi5

                          So far I know, Mi5 isn't that type of robust phone. But I don't know about the Mi5s. Does this phone have corning Gorilla class 4 ?? Or can can any one tell me about the toughness of this phone??

                            For me, chipset performance + camera that make mi 5s better (real/needed) than mi5.

I prefer Snapdragon over the mediatek on meizu mx6. We'll, if u looking for better design and performance. Go for mi5. Meizu only got better fingerprint reader.
