I have to get rid of my phone and buy a new one in the next 2 weeks, I won't upgrade anytime soon so it has to be a SD821. which one of those two do you guys recommend and why?
As i can see, 5.5" size is important for you. In your position i go for OnePlus 3T.
Mi5s Plus, is a no go for me, that dual camera it's even worst than Mi5 camera because it's to much dependable of image algorithm where Xiaomi sucks.
It has oled 5.5", SD821, dash charge that it's better than QC 3.0 and super community support.
If Size was not important, all the way to Mi5s (not plus).
My vote goes for either Mi 5s Plus or Oneplus 3T. I think the software is better on the 3T (better international translations).

hi every one
i want to buy a new smart phone
i have some questions abut mi 5
1)so i watch youtube video its was so bad.... is this phone bending?
2)price in my country is 300 for mi5 and 325 for mi5 s .... witch one is better?
3)best antutu benchmark on mi5 and mi5s?
thank
1)so i watch youtube video its was so bad.... is this phone bending?
Mi 5S is thought to be sturdier than the Mi 5. But with a good quality hard case I really doubt you'll ever get as far as bending it, especially not by accident.
2)price in my country is 300 for mi5 and 325 for mi5 s .... witch one is better?
Mi 5S is the updated version with faster chipset and new fingerprint scanner etcetera. Some people argue the software support is better on the Mi 5 though, as it is sold more. Hard to make a hard case of that argument as it is mostly speculation from people who don't have both and cannot see in the future.
3)best antutu benchmark on mi5 and mi5s?
Almost certain the Mi 5S as it has the superior specs.
so mi5s is not bending right?
and its faster?
how much difference it has with mi 6?
tanx for answer bro:fingers-crossed:
It will definitely not bend. I've never put a cover on mine and almost every time I sit on my sofa to play PS4 I end up sitting on top of it haha.
Yes the Snapdragon 821 is definitely faster than the 820 I've had both the mi 5 and mi 5s.
The mi 5s (not plus) share the same camera as the Google Pixel, which Google claim is the best camera available on a smartphone today.
Finally the fingerprint is wayyy better than mi 5
As for the mi 6, that's a beast of a processor it has (Snapdragon 835). Camera setup is a dual telephoto camera. The only drawback (for some, I personally use a pair of letv cdla headphones) is that it lacks the audio jack.

tnax i go buy the mi5 s ...ops just buyet
Hi
I go next week to China and plan to buy a new smartphone. I'm a big fan of Xiaomi and would love to buy a Mi Mix 2, but I worry about the camera quality. The OnePlus 5T would be the other option. Which phone would you buy if the camera is quite important for you?
Regards
Michael
If camera were important I would buy either a Galaxy S8 or an Iphone 8. Both Mi Mix 2 and Oneplus 5T cameras underperform in low light condition. I prefer the Mix 2 design over Oneplus 5T's one. However, there is more ROM development for the Oneplus 5T.
Dear All,
Please I need your suggestions as I am confused between Mi 6 & Mi 5s.
Whose camera is better? And which one is best for gaming.
The price for both are as below
Mi 5s - 250 USD
Mi 6- 350 USD
Thanks to All
Of course if you can get mi 6. It is better in everything except the price.

Ya me to think mi 6 is better, some people saying that mi 5s has better camera sensor imx 378, same used in google pixel
I have both 5s and 6. Here are some Pro/Cons for each. Please note that I have the 4GB variant of the 5s, so if you get the 3GB, performance may vary.
5s
Better front/back Camera
Google Camera Mod
Official LineageOS Support
Lighter and a feels a bit more narrow
Headphone Jack
Finger print reader is not as good
Mi 6
Front camera is worse
Back camera is good but GoogleCamera mod has an issue with focus/switching HDR on/off everytime
Portrait mode is pretty nice and has OIS where the Mi5s does not
Feels a little quicker than the 5s (821 vs 835)
Fingerprint reader is much better than 5s
Mi 6 is heavy(some people like this, some dont)
Honestly, my only complaint with the Mi 6 is the front camera and focus being bugged with the GoogleCamera mod. Hopefully that gets fixed somehow...
Please note I do not play any games, so I cannot expand on that.
Also, just my personal opinion, but I think its hard to find the 5s in black anymore. (I prefer the all black)

Thanks for such a detailed comparison, I already own a mi 5 & I am satisfied with it, another phone I need to buy for my wife, I guess the camera of mi 5s is better ( only my opinion)
And also I can save 100 bucks, and it will solve the purpose I hope, any idea if Mi 5s is supporting JIO VOLTE network in India?

Sorry, not sure. VoLTE works here in Japan.
If you are not looking to flash ROMs and installing mods, the Mi 6 is probably a better overall phone. It will also have better/longer support. (Android Oreo) is being rolled out in alpha/beta now.
I think the Mi 6 with 4GB RAM is a little cheaper too.
10/10 you should buy Mi6 if you have the budget, its worth w/ the price. Considering the spec.
Dear All,
I need to buy a new phone & getting confused between Mi 5 & Mi 5s
Please suggest which one is better over all.
Mi 5 3/32 or Mi 5s 3/64 GB
Price difference is only 30$
Thank in Advance
Mi5s is a upgraded version from the Mi5 with a better build quality, bit faster processor and a better camera. So in my opinion it is really worth those 30 dollar with current custom ROMs making great use of these plus points.

...And with really sh*tty fingerprint reader. You get better fingerprint reader on xiaomi redmi 3s.
With my phone it's working perfectly (always has btw), and so is with anyone using the latest firmware as far as I know.

MI5s ultrasonic fingerprint reader was advertised as very accurate and fast and you could unlock phone with wet or dirty fingerprint, but in real life that's not true. From the beginning speed and accuracy wasn't so great and few months ago my fingerprint reader just stopped working.
Google is full of links like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5glh5l/xiaomi_mi_5s_fingerprint_sensor_the_worst_i_have/
I regret i didn't buy xiaomi mi5 or oneplus 3.
Which were firmware problems. Those were fixed recently.
/EDIT: To be fair I think for most people the Xiaomi A1 is a better choice. Excellent build quality, Android One, much better battery life, more network bands and a nice low price of 180 euro's at the moment. Unless you game a lot, you probably won't feel the difference in speed all that much.
Example (other shops have roughly same prices):

Or if you want better battery life you can go with Xiaomi redmi note 4 or Xiaomi redmi 5 plus, but they don't have band support like A1 and stock Android. If you don't game too much, everything with Snapdragon 625 or similar would be good enough for everyday usage and battery friendly. Also you can consider buying Huawei honor 9 lite or Huawei honor 7x.
Buy MI5s for its camera. FP is okay don't worry not as fast as others but if that is your main point I have to laugh.
Well, the build quality of Mi 5 is a bit worse.
I strongly recommend to buy Mi 5s instead of Mi 5. It's the improved version of Mi 5 with full-metal body, faster SoC, better camera sensor(same as the Pixel).
I'm using Mi 5s and I think fp is ok.
Better buy neither of them, they are both ****y phones, buy something from oneplus or mi 6/mix 2.

Oh, it's so helpful to writing this without telling any reason.
Battery in this phone is joke, fingerprint scanner works 1/10 of the time, ram management does not exist.
Again, just update the firmware...
It won't help, trust me
Fingerprint working near perfect on my Mi 5s with latest Global stable ROM. I really like my Mi 5s 128GB, only battery time could be a bit better, but that's the CPUs fault mostly.
Also have a look at the Mi 6 which offers optical image stabilizer, which the Mi 5 also has, but the 5s sadly lacks.
I have previously owned both 5s and 5s plus. 5s has good build quality and camera but bad fingerprint reader and mediocre battery life. The larger sibling, 5s Plus is much better IMO. More vibrant screen, slightly faster performance, much better fingerprint reader and battery life. The image sensor on 5s plus is worse but still takes good images if you install the ported google camera mod. I would also consider Mi Note 3 or Mi Mix 2.

Did you have the Mi5S long enough to install the firmware version of the first of March? That one has given the big change. Before that, the FP sensor was indeed not very good.

No, I sold mine in february this year. I am suprised that they finally fixed the FP-reader (one and half year after the release).
I think everyone is
Battery life and FP reader are solved in Miui Pro BETA by Belorus team. Non beta roms all have bad battery life anyway. I do talk here with gaming and without. Now i freely use it all day
I've had an MI5 for a couple years and the screen is cracked and close to dying. I was thinking of buying an MI5S as a replacement but feel like I could get a better phone as it's TOO similar to my trusty MI5 even.
My specific, additional criteria includes it being similarly sized (height/thickness) to the MI5/MI5S (to fit my mobile phone holder). After searching GSMArena, it returned around 8 phones. Most of them were cheap phones that were also released in 2016. The one exception was the original Google Pixel. The spec seems similar to the MI5/MI5S but the fingerprint scanner on the back is a deal breaker. So with that, I'd be prepared to open up the choice of phones a bit more. It must be able to run LineageOS and still be getting updates (future releases are never guaranteed, I understand). Any recommended phones (or just get the MI5S)?
I would go for the newer Mi6, because it has an optical image stabilizer like the Mi5, which the Mi5s sadly lacks.
The Mi6 also has a way faster CPU than the Mi5s. Don't forget, the Mi5s is now nearly 2 years old.
Indeed, price difference is minimal, so go with better options like the Mi6. Mi Note 3 and Mi Mix 2 are also friendly priced recently.
Thanks for the suggestions so far. I didn't consider the Mi6 and a few other Xiaomi phones becasuse I was using an old GSMarena saved search where I specified band 28 had to be in the phone, but I don't actually need that band now.
Aaargh, the Mi6 (and upcoming 6X), Mi Note 3 and Mi Mix 2 all don’t have headphone jacks (the headphone adapters aren’t going to cut it)! Curse you Apple. We knew it was coming, I guess. They’re all a similar size to my old phone at least and fit the phone holder as well.
Mi Mix 2 looks like it will get updated for some time but that's starting to get heavy (185 g/6.53 oz) too:
https://www.lineageosrom.com/2018/01/xiaomi-devises-getting-android-p.html
The Nokia 8 actually looks very good value with same CPU as the Mi Mix 2 (and similar weight) but with the headphone jack, but the Lineage devs are waiting on the bootloader to be unlockable for that.
I think I’ll have to wait. At least I have a better idea of what I’m looking for. Would be nice if the stats.lineageos.org site showed the newer phones’ popularity/trend in another table.
Mm, you have a point there. The Mi Note 2 or the original Mi Mix maybe? The upcoming Redmi Note 5 (with the SD636) is also promising to be a good deal. Otherwise some Nubia (Z17 lite for instance) and maybe even LeTV phones with a custom ROM might be worth a look (although I'm not sure about the build quality from LeTV). Just check the XDA thread of the device beforehand and always stick to Qualcomm processors as Mediatek gives crap support to both producers and ROM developers.

Thanks for those. Mi Note 2 and orignial Mi Mix are a bit old (hey, one of the earlier posts has made me only look at 2017 or later phones). The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro phone is a bit heavy at around 180gm (my 64gb Mi5 is 129gb).
The LeTv/LeEco phnoe have two, more-recent releases that look reasonable but from those the LeEco Le Pro3 Elite has the same chipset as my Mi5 and the LeEco Le Pro 3 AI Edition has a Mediatek chipset (taking your advice on ruling out phones with those).
The Zubia Z17 lite looks a decent option (168gms is getting up there is weight) but just saw its finger print scanner is rear-mounted too.
Will keep looking!
On the 24. April Xiaomi will present the new Mi 6X. Details so far unknown, but will probably be the successor of the Mi 6.

No separate 3.5mm/headphone jack. Looks nice though. I refuse to get wireless earphones or use any dongle. I bought some nice wired earphones not too long ago.
Sounds like the Mi7 might be out sometime this year too (but, again, probably won't have a 3.5mm/headphone jack).
