aatif khan, 25 Oct 2016Friend, Go to any phone opinions section, there is no end to people who have tons of complain... moreI appreciate your comment and it is true about someone is always finding fault and not fairly rating items. I am trying to purchase a reasonably priced phone around $400 using prepaid so not to get locked in contracts. I like the One Plus3 Never Settle, and the Moto G 4th Generation Plus and Sony Xperia XA (and Ultra). This Xiamoi looks great and so does the ZTE Axon 7. Tired of Samsung bloatware, but do like the S7, just too pricey. Any suggestions? Looking for good screen resolution, higher processor and camera not a big factor. Something like Samsung's bright clear screens but want different brand. Thank you.

Would you recommend the Mi5s over the Op3?
My main concern is about the camera, and the screen itself, as per battery (having Quick charge), performance (considering the Mi4gbRAM) and so on, i think they are quite similar.
Thanks

nonyhaha, 26 Oct 2016You do know there is a different cpu under the hood, right? different hardware -> different... moreAs I said Mi 5 users are also experiencing a battery drain after MIUI 8 update. This is probably the main reason. Snapdragon 821 is supposed to have better power efficiency over 820.

I trully dont understand the negative comments here.
I just upgraded from mi5 to mi5... moreFriend,
Go to any phone opinions section, there is no end to people who have tons of complaints.
That's the way they live- finding faults rather than enjoying the positive available.and they take great pride in claiming that they are successful in finding faults.
Hence , please enjoy the devices you own and ignore the negative comments from those who have nothing good to do.

MIUI 8 is probably the reason why Mi 5s got a worse endurance rating than Mi 5, even though it has +200mAh larger battery. A lot of users are reporting battery issues on their Mi 5 after an upgrade: http://www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-20107.php
Should be fixed in future updates.

Boys,
I trully dont understand the negative comments here.
I just upgraded from mi5 to mi5s and can confirm that mi5s is tep forward in built quality, design and palm comfort.
I had mi5s black edition and whilst is a great phone the ceramic back was a fingerprint magnet. It was also very slippery and imposible to hold in one hand. Beautiful but not functional. The aluminum bezel was coated and extremely prone to scratches. Getting very hot as well. Apart from that good looking and smoothly working. Fingerprint sensor felt outdated and button cluncky.
Comparing with above, mi5s is made of high grade alimunim on which you can't see a fingerprint so the phone looks pristine at all times. Dropped the phone few times and I'm yet to spot a scratch on it. And if you are qurious yes I dont use covers. I love looking at this phone. It's a cracker. Furthetmore the aluminum is brushed and doesn't feels slippery. Very comfortably can be operated with single hand. It is beautifully finished abd the aluminum edges nicely flow into the screen giving it a unique unibody feel. The fingerprint sensor is also much more advanced and the button is solid now - a touch button. It is also bigger, easily fitting a fingerprint, no more sliding over the. And finally it comes with MIUI8 and 3D touch. Also has powerful double speakers at the bottom.
Both mi5 and mi5s battery kept me running through the day with ease. Pleased with both.
Mi5s is by far the best phone Xiaomi had made. It is a very beautifully put together that it can dirrectly compete with apple and samsung. It is indeed world class device
