Xiaomi Mi 5s review: A great phone you can't buy
Source: Android Central Archive.org version
As the Mi 5s has been in the market for a few months now, it has picked up a price cut that brings the cost of the phone down to under $300. As you can't buy it directly from Xiaomi, you'll have to rely on resellers. GearBest is selling it for $289 after entering code Mi5GSB. If you're in a market where LTE connectivity is available, the Mi 5s is a no-brainer for the cost.

Xiaomi Mi5s reviewed
Source: Fudzilla Archive.org version
The Mi5s is an evolution of the Mi5, and it’s better than its predecessor in almost every respect. However, it’s not that much better, because it’s almost the same phone, updated with a new SoC and camera module. In other words, nobody who owns a Mi5 or a different Snapdragon 820 device will be interested in the Mi5s.

70% Xiaomi Mi5s in-depth review - Showing it's class
Source: Mobile Choice Archive.org version
Xiaomi's revised Mi 5 adds in some key areas, like camera quality, while leaving us wanting more in others. Built quality is suspect, and that much-hyped fingerprint scanner truly is one of the worst we've used - it only worked about 60% of the time.

90% Xiaomi Mi5s review: The Xiaomi flagship that could replace your Samsung, LG, HTC or Apple phone
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
We cannot recommend the Xiaomi Mi5s enough. This is the smartphone every 2016 flagship wanted to be, and it comes with a price tag half that of theirs. Fantastic build quality, fantastic performance, fantastic storage, battery and connectivity options - the Xiaomi Mi5s gets a big thumbs-up from us.

Xiaomi Mi 5s Review: The Perfect ‘s’ Upgrade
Source: Androidbeat Archive.org version
The Mi 5s is the perfect ‘s’ upgrade to the Mi 5. It improves in all key areas — build quality, camera, and performance — to deliver a vastly improved experience than its predecessor. Ideally, the Mi 5s is what the Mi 5 should have originally been. Nonetheless, if you have been holding out on buying the Mi 5 for some reason, go ahead and just buy the Mi 5s. It can hold its own against many other newer flagships and is a great phone for the price it commands. It truly is a shame that Xiaomi will not be bringing the Mi 5s to India where it could have been a formidable competitor to the likes of OnePlus 3 and Moto Z Play.

Xiaomi Mi 5s review
Source: GSM Arena Archive.org version
Xiaomi Mi 5s is a great flagship with excellent build quality, performance, battery life, and imaging skills. It makes a few notable upgrades over the Mi 5 predecessor - a metal unibody, a bigger battery, a more power-efficient chipset, and a capable main camera.

Source: Yugatech Archive.org version
Nubia Z11 Mini S and Xiaomi MI5S can have nice similarity in camera, design, and battery, but in terms of hardware, Xiaomi MI5S can win over Nubia Z11 Mini not only in terms of antutu. But considering the price, Nubia Z11 Mini S RAM 4GB ROM 64GB version sells at 1499 yuan, $250, RAM 4GB ROM 128GB black golden advanced version at 1899 yuan, $316, but Xiaomi MI5S RAM 3GB ROM 64GB at 1999 yuan, $330, and RAM 4GB ROM 128GB version at 2299 yuan, $383. Therefore, if you don’t pursue too high-end performance, Nubia Z11 Mini S is enough to use, but you are a game lover, we highly recommend choosing Xiaomi MI5S.

In all, Xiaomi MI5S can compare with Galaxy S7 with the good performance to prove Xiaomi has entered into the International market to compete with Samsung and Apple. Personally, we think we don’t have to spend much money on a smartphone.

Although Xiaomi MI5S and ZUK Z2 Pro has different processor, according to real test, they have no large gap in hardware, however, in design and camera, ZUK Z2 Pro can win over Xiaomi MI5S. Therefore, we still think ZUK Z2 Pro is more beautiful, especially back design. Just share more with us.

Xiaomi MI5S Pro Tear Down Review
Source: Igeekphone Archive.org version
According to teardown, Xiaomi MI5S internal design has nice layout, the back metal cover has used Injection molding with exquisite processing for better cooling, such as the graphite stickers, in order to keep the phone’s thickness, it uses shield to ditch the OIS and Infrared function. The overall tear down is not so difficult, but about the maintenance, if the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is broken, it is a little difficult to repair or change.
