I've reported the poor headphone audio quality as bug to Xiaomi. Let's see if they can optimize the audio quality by software patches. Please confirm the bugreport on this URL:

MI5S has bigger camera sensor 1/2.3", 1.55µm compared to mi5 or even to galaxy s7 which only has 1/2.5" 1.45µm. Bigger sensor means it can attract more light even in a darker situation so there is no need to be stabilized by the OIS to get good picture.

Camera quality much better than iPhone 6s (its the only phone I compared it with) and battery life is amazing. I usually have 40% or 30% left at the end of the day, but whats even better is quickcharging, and I swear this thing charges ridiculously fast (40% in 15min, even more if phone is turned off). No lags whatsoever in any game or daily use. Only cons for me are that you need to get used to the fingerprint scanner, as at first it may seem it fails to read your fingerprint, but if you place your finger correctly you will find no problem at all. The other con is the ugly bezel (idk if its spelled like that) which, may be easily

Rex Tech, 18 Nov 2016Agreed,the only thing it needs is an OIS.I agree. If this phone had OIS it would be the perfect phone. But for me I'm okey without OIS it's not huge deal. Especially in 300$ device ! ! !

Here are some links from the battery and the phone performance vs other great flagships:

Mi5s all the way, ZUK is nowhere near in terms of camera quality. Camera in my opinion isn't as good as Pixel or S7 in low light, but in good it's among the best and beats IPhone 7 for sure. For what I have seen in the web, it seems to be better than OP3 too. What's more, it still can be improved by better software, what took place in case of Mi5.
Re: heating issues - no problems
Re: battery life - I'm getting 3,5hrs (really have use) to almost 6hrs of SOT
