Hi Everyone! In this thread I'll try to gather information related to Xiaomi Mi5 phone.
Before we start, let's review the specs of Mi 5 in brief:
- Snapdragon 820, up to *4GB RAM + 128GB UFS 2.0 (*For Mi 5 PRO ONLY)
- 600Mbps 4G+ download speeds, VoLTE
- 3D *ceramic/glass body, weighs 129g (*Ceramic body for Mi 5 PRO ONLY)
- 5.15” 16 LED light display, 3D ceramic/glass body
- Front fingerprint sensor
- 16MP 4-axis OIS + 2µm-pixel 4MP camera
- 3000mAh battery, Quick Charge 3.0
- Full feature NFC
- MIUI based on Android M
- Available in Gold, White, Black (*Mi 5 PRO only in BLACK)
Display
The Mi5 comes with a 5.2-inch display that the company says is extraordinarily vibrant. It has used special technology to increase the contrast and vibrancy. The brightness of the phone is 600 nits, which is about 70% more than most phones. The display uses special sunlight detection technology that automatically enhances the colors when it senses outdoor conditions.
Design
The Mi5’s design is a continuation of the subdued aesthetics of Mi Note. “It was only natural to inherit all the beauty. The phone is built with high-grade Zirconia ceramic material at the back. The material scores about 8 out of 10 in hardness, double the score of steel. Ceramic is about 75% more expensive than even high-grade glass, Barra said, and has been manufactured in a 16-step process.
Camera
The camera has a more advanced optical image stabilization, which negates not just static shake, but also transverse movement, which results in better quality photos in high-zoom situations.The company showed the 4D OIS in action by comparing the picture of a shaking Mi5 with an iPhone 6S.The sensor is Sony IMX298 with 16 MP resolution and PDAF support and deep trench iteration. The model is one of the first to get the IMX298 sensor. The front camera includes a 4 MP sensor with 2µm-pixel.

4 000 000 Mi5's sold and no reviews.. Rather strange.
China websites and their video platforms (not youtube) are full of evaluations and they are pretty enthusiastic

1st article seems nice. Wish they had someone to post it in English too.
And the translation of 2nd one LOL
Can you do a gaming review?
I have not seen any gaming review yet. Thanks.
Cannot wait for it to be released in India.
They also tested gaming. Snapdragon 820 is a beast for gaming ! Maximum temperature in gaming is about 39°C in a particular zone of the back of the phone.
Here it is another very deep video review and comparison with Note 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc1e3YAa-pM

Unlocked bootloader?
Bootloaders will be locked. You need to go through unlocking it on the Xiaomi bootloader unlock site to so so. They will give you instructions after a few days.

all the versions used the same camera.The front shooter is amazing...
Just did a photoshooting with this device... wonderful even the zoom works
Coming from a Redmi Note 3 this is a huge upgrade, also better then Honor 6,One Plus,Iphone 6 camera
zoomed to 5 x before taking the picture.
@Supertitan, that looks real good. The comparisons I've seen so far made me doubt a purchase though... Currently running a Nexus 6p so I'm afraid it will be a downgrade, pure on specs of the sensor that could be the case.
P.S. grey cars sure seem to be hot over there

I dont know what you mean ? okay Nexus has the first grade software support from google, but Snapdragon 810 vs. 820 no comparison here.
Also the Charger (measured) pumps out with 2,27 Amp. on Xiaomi device which is top level on Charging.

I only meant picture quality, not the specs of the chipset etcetera, obviously the Mi5 zooms past the N6P on that front. I will await more photo comparisons, Xiaomi markets heavily with the quality of the Mi5 camera so hopefully it does not disappoint.
This was taken with the Fish Eye mode, otherwise it wasnt possible to catch the Details.
Two More Pictures, this time in Airport:
https://goo.gl/photos/nbLpHJt1gdTxveTCA
Uploaded few more to the Google Photos... only issue is in the dark, otherwise best camera phone that i had.
Initial shots with my recently arrived Mi5
Mi5 and Huawei Mate 8 both have IMX298.
Mi5 has more same, but better camera app - more usability and better a picture shots.
Hope huawei fix it

The quality is so close now so...for me there is no reason to use MIUI.
Hello, today, or maybe tomorrow, I'm buying the RMN3 Pro 3/32gb, and I have a few questions so I know what to do when I get it( btw I'm getting it for 150 euros, used in perfect condition with warranty till the end of 2017). I've seen there is official Lineage OS? Does it have some bugs? Is it better than MIUI? And then here goes all the other questions, how is the battery on both roms, performance, camera... Is the speaker tiny like on the Redmi Note 2? I've had the RMN2 Prime, and it served me well... Thank you in advance and have a good day!
Great phone with good performances (78000 in AnTuTu), very fast : open apps in second ! The camera is not the best but it is enough and for the battery I get about 6/7 hours with normal use (some games, facebook, etc ..)
BUT
The rom MIUI is bad and will undoubtedly remain under android 6.0 .1 and contains a lot of bugs which will take a long time to be corrected, for custom roms I invite you to look in the ROM (Snapdragon) section of the forum. But overall they are all very good.
Hope it help
Probably don't even think of staying in MIUI when you have Lineage.
In all performance aspects its better. Along with lineage you can also install radon kernel and sound mods and you will make it a beast.
Bdw i got 87k antutu score with radon and battery is probably sweet.

150eur used kind of sounds like a lot, doesn't it?
In india redmi note 3 pro was officially around 140 euro. Brand new. . btw phone is a beast. Just camera is not good. Other thn that battery, performance, build quality, speaker everything is best . an custom rom development of this device is among best on xda.
Hope this helps
Thank you all! I'm definetly switching to LOS, and yes 155e is a bit too much, but here where I live (Serbia) it costs more because the only way to get it is to order it from China, and that's why the prices here are outrages! Oh yeah! How do I find out if my bootloader is locked or unlocked? I think I will have a hard time unlocking it, because my PC is dead anyways, I got the phone, and by far it's the fastest one I ever had... I had the Huawei P9 Lite, LG G Flex 2, Galaxy Note 4 and nothing comes close to RMN3's speed, camera is okay, but the battery is so damn good...
Redmi Note 3 is very powerful device no doubt about it, my phone scores 89000 antutu score in this rom-- https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-t3612905 But this phone was launched in 2015 you should buy a newer phone.
Wait till snapdragon 660 hits the market, it will take a month at most. It is built on a 14-nanometer process and has custom kryo cores used in snapdragon 820.

Well yeah I probably should, but I had 160 euros, and this phone was the best for the price... Other options were Samsung Galaxy S5, Nexus 5, iPhone 5s, LG G3 and a few other really crappy phones... I think I didn't make a mistake when buying this phone
everything is great about rn3 except it's ****ty camera...
go for a device with amoled display and good camera.
For most people, physical differences between Redmi Note 4 Mediatek and Snapdragon are still not completely clear. That was unclear for me too. So, I decided to make a comparison for these two models.
I could make that because I used both phones. I'm using SD global version now.
And yes, the two phones have lots of differences so, YOU CAN'T USE ACCESSORIES THAT PRODUCED FOR ONE MODEL TO OTHER MODEL.
Here is my comparison video for these two phones. Hope it will guide you to see the difference between two versions and choose right accessories.
For more detailed information you can visit here too. :good:
The comparison video is updated.
Nice video. Whoever at Xiaomi decided to name the global Snapdragon version Note 4 and not 4X should be punished.
i bought a global note4 sd version from an internet store, it came with a note4 global version box, but it has note4x look with global rom

Don't let the "X" letter to confuse you. In some conditions, it depends on the rom you're using. For example, I bought Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon Global Version, when i received the package, it was written Redmi Note 4 on it, in fact i thought i bought the X version, but it wasn’t so. In the about phone section, it was also saying Redmi Note 4. After sometime, i flashed eu xiaomi developer rom to my phone, when i look into about phone section, surprise!!!, it says Redmi Note 4X. I think it depends on the rom you are using… I don’t know for sure… Anyway… I'm using Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon Global Version... Nothing more...

So all Snapdragon Note 4s look the same as the 4X, and there are no Snapdragons with the same unibody as the MTK Note 4 (the one with screws on the bottom)?
Just for the record: I ordered a Redmi Note 4 Head case from Ebay, and it fitted perfectly on my Redmi Note 4x (MTK). I also ordered a $1 tempered glass from ebay. It covers pretty much the whole display, but there is some halo effect around the corners...

as for the case, they should fit, only some of the holes on them should be in the wrong place BUT I have seen ones those have them cut out for both variants

Headcase cases don't cover the upper and lower part of any phone. I'm using these on multiple devices for years. It doesn't cover the upper part at all, so it doesnt even matter if its a RMN4 or RMN4x. Every case looks basically like this:

I have read that the sd version of note 4 vs the sd version of note 4x has a different camera sensor and that the note 4x has a better camera. Is that confirmed? I'm going to get the note 4 snapdragon chipset but I am not sure if I want the 4 or 4X. Which is better?

That's where your wrong, the Honor 8 China version already have that feature, and that's why I'm looking in to what more models that have the Object Recognition mode.

We test out the Honor 9’s dual-lens camera, comparing it to the mobile shooter found on its predecessors, the Honor 8 and Honor 8 Pro. Here’s our full Honor 9 camera review, including an in-depth look at the camera features, photo and video quality.
The Honor 9 officially launched this week and we’ve already had a chance to test out one of the most important bits. Namely, the camera tech housed on that compact, glossy frame.
Like many other Honor phones, the Honor 9’s main camera uses two lenses at the same time to shoot sharp, detail-packed photos. One of these is a 20-megapixel monochrome lens, while the other is a 12-megapixel RGB lens which does a fine job of capturing any colour in your environment.
Huawei has, of course, stuffed plenty of camera features into the Honor 9 as well, just like its other Honor handsets. We’ll discuss these shortly.

Too costly in India, it won't be as hot as was expected, almost 40% less sales most probably.
Price is similar to one plus 7 so not worth it.

Really!
Guess I start expecting too much intelligence on XDA.
One plus 7 and one plus 7 pro are different devices with different price point, is that too hard to understand?

Have you changed camps from OnePlus to Redmi now? Never seen you so interested in some device other than OP flagships from past years.

OP7 starts at INR 33K for 6+128 configuration. K20 Pro costs INR 31K for 8+256 option. How exactly is that "similar"?
Also, why do you feel it's "too costly" if you are willing to pay significantly more for a OP7? Just because it has clean OOS?
Is there any info. on the LTE basebands on the Indian device? Is it the same as the Chinese hardware wise?
My question is if we can buy it from AliExpress and flash Indian ROM on it for Band 20 if they're the same hardware wise.

No, there is way better development scene in op7. Used op3t and still use it more often then Poco when I'm not gaming, it just feels better in hand.

I am using OP3 as my main phone til this day, so yes while the development scene helps, i feel MIUI is not bad itself minus the ads. I am still on OOS stock ROM, with a custom kernel only. I feel Android has reached to a point where custom ROMs won't make much sense expect for when the device has lapsed its original official software update window (2 years). I am still using OOS Oreo on OP3 and it works just fine.
