Xiaomi Mi 5

Design

Featuring a stunning design, the Xiaomi Mi 5 can stake a claim to being the most attractive device yet from Xiaomi. The svelte device is curvier for a more appealing appearance. In fact, the Chinese phone manufacturer says design is a reason for the long delay in the phone’s announcement – the wait looks justified.

The chassis is made of glass or ceramic, depending on model, complemented by a curvy metal frame. The Xiaomi Mi 5 is impressively lightweight at 129 grams for the glass variant and 139 grams for the ceramic variant.

Display and Camera

Xiaomi Mi 5 packs in a 5.15-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and a high pixel density of about 428 ppi. This is one brilliant display being fitted with 16 backlight LEDs, according to Xiaomi, compared to the 12-14 most other devices come with.

On the camera front, the Xiaomi Mi 5 packs an impressive combo of 16-megapixel rear camera and 4-megapixel front-facing camera.

The primary shooter uses a Sony sensor and features dual LED flash, sapphire crystal lens cover, phase detection autofocus, and optical image optimisation (OIS) for top-notch images. It can record breathtaking 4K videos at 30 frames per second.
