Source: Igeekphone English Archive.org version
It’s the first time that Xiaomi enters into its own processor field. We can see Xiaomi has done well on its first own processor smartphone, Xiaomi MI5C. We can feel that Xiaomi MI5C is the successor of Xiaomi mi4c. This light and thin smartphone can be popular with different kinds of people. If you like 5 inch smartphone, you can consider this one.

5.15":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

Xiaomi:

Xiaomi offers its products under the Mi, Redmi and POCO brands.


71.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
