Stylish and filled with great specs - for R8000? Xiaomi has themselves a winner with the Mi5 (but it's still a bit buggy).
PROS
Fast, Stylish, Thin Bezel, MIUI is great, Strong Camera, Cloud-backup, Right Price
CONS
Still buggy at present with calls missed and phone not always cooperating, Slippery on surfaces, No MicroSD
VERDICT
It’s a top performing flagship which should put doubters firmly in their place, providing strong specs, and not just OK-ish ones, for just a bit more than a mid-range price-tag. If it weren’t for the problems mentioned the Mi5 would get two thumbs up.
