Hello All,
Does any of you have problem with the GPS? I'd like to buy this phone, but I noticed Chinese phones have often issues with geo location/

Generic
-It uses mostly same materials as other ... moreBut those are tried and tested materials which everyone uses.
Now you commented downgrade in design. This means Xiaomi is using materials which are even lower than those used by others.is that you meant by downgrade?
So my honest question is, if it is same like others ,then what is downgrade in it?
I am very specifically asking this question. If you understand basics, Design and Materials are two different things which make a device.
Design is a visual entity which define the looks of a device.
Materials are hard elements which realise the Design.
You started with comment - downgrade in terms of design and when I asked you a about materials, you smartly agreed to material as generic.
My teacher had told me - don't comment if you don't know.
In terms of design, Xiaomi is one Chinese phone maker, who doesn't shamelessly copy iPhone. Though it takes inspiration, but tries to do something than just blind copycats like OPPO, VIVO and company.
It never hypes like One+ and always delivers a value for money products.

AnonD-276592, 21 Oct 2016Too generic.What is generic?
It uses mostly same materials as other flagship phone- metal, gorilla glass, antenna lines, Sony camera sensors, fingerprint scanner etc.
It is not trying to be like iPhone in looks either.
This just honest curiosity only.

Bluerain, 20 Oct 2016My LG G5 has universal remote (IR Blaster) and an FM. :)Good.
But the fellow whom I replied knows Mi costs 40% less than G5. And paying that additional 40% just for FM tuner and remote control doesn't go down well in his head. But that anger is vented on poor Xiaomi, coz he can't do that on any other flagship I mentioned.
Gadgets ( like dressing sense) one carries reflects the personality of the owner. Flagship owners belong to a league who are more interested in productivity features and top notch performance rather than worrying about FM tuner and remote control. If it's included it's good, but need not be mandatory.
Blackberry were pure business gadgets. It never really needed FM or IR. It may be on decline, but it is still a preferred device for most of professionals. Only those who don't know it's productivity, criticises.

Nickhawk, 20 Oct 2016No infrared port, nor radio FM? Even the camera is also not very comprehensive. The next please! Do you have this device ? Or you are just commenting based on what your friends told you?
No high end / flagship phones have FM radio - Pixel, iphone7,Galaxy S7,Galaxy S7 edge,LG V20,One+3,HTC 10.
Check all the above mentioned flagships.
Are you buying a FM radio and universal remote control OR you want to buy a flagship device?
Mi5s is flagship offering of Xiaomi. They want to sell flagship devices and not FM tuner and universal remote control.
