Reviews for the Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus

78% Xiaomi Mi 5SPlus Mobile review: Mixed performance
Source: DxOMark English

One of the Xiaomi Mi 5SPlus’s main weaknesses for video is the lack of effective stabilization, which makes smooth videos a challenge; we recommend some phone support for improved results. Video autofocus is fast and accurate, however, with no performance issues shooting video in bright light. This said, some noticeable steps in focus, together with an increase in instability and slow convergence (including unnecessary refocusing during panning), result in more focus failures shooting video under changing lighting conditions. Some visible ringing, aliasing, and blocking artifacts are also visible in videos shot under all lighting conditions.

Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus review
Source: GSM Arena English

The Mi 5s Plus is also the fastest Android smartphone today, with great screen and battery life. MIUI8 is a nice launcher, too. Unless you are after the whole Leica experience from Huawei or the water-proof body from Sony or Samsung, you would probably find the Mi 5s Plus to be an excellent deal that's really tempting.

Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Review
Source: Yugatech English

The handset has a solid build quality although personally, I’m not a fan of its gold color. We’re also not complaining that it only has a Full HD resolution as battery life greatly benefitted from it. We’re also fans of the dual camera setup ala Huawei P9 and its Monochrome mode that shoots sharp photos with great contrast.

This display is quite big for a smartphone but frequently used for smartphones.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
