gonna get one one launched. hopefully they have the ceramic ver in malaysia

Most of the China users critisize the phone while the westerners on the other side are giving praise. Quite ironic.

Not sure when we can get this in here, except go for imported set.

coz maybe they are used to shitty clones

any idea how to get the phone as fast as possible?

Quote this for future reference.

Okay lar.. Half half of the Chinese criticize it only... Because in China too competitive already..

You offer double of the original RRP, sure got Chinese peeps sell you one..

Heard this phone have LTE + WCDMA stand by in the same time kinda interested on how is it when the phone is officially out of the market

how wish it is using Mi4s design with SD820 and their OIS.

i think Mi5's fingerprint should be on the back.

I'm using nexus 5 which has almost same specs as mi3, only the os. Still running great, only heavy apps cause little lag.

wow. i want the full black one!

hopefully mi malaysia bring in this year.

What glass is used for the screen? If it's gorilla glass they would mention it.

I think both are looking for different things. Westerners like the little details like software, usb c, battery, ois, flushed camera...Chinese I think more on copy samsung, looking like iphone, price, looks.

What did the Chinese complain about?

Yup, sounds cheated by them...

But the back button still placed on the right. This is enough for me to look for other phones that have back button on the left.

to be frank, despite Chinese OEMs keep on releasing good phones like this Mi5, it's still lacks status because of the word "cheap" when I discussed with few of my friends.

we hardly seeing any CEOs, businessmen, rich guys using Xiaomi, OPPO, Huawei etc. Most of these people either use iPhone, Samsung, HTC, Sony because these are establish brands and there are few times more expensive than Chinese phones which at the same time also carry status.

similarly, no one will buy a Proton if given the car with Ferrari specs selling at RM70K. People which needs status when meeting clients outside will still get an Audi which cost RM250K even if that Audi specs is lower than the Proton.

for me, since I am in business line despite liking this Mi5 very much, I am hesitate to get it.

sad but true and this is the reality.

This is so awesome!!!
Been a loyal Mi fans since Mi3, but Mi4 and Mi Note (flagships from Xiaomi) nothing surprised me.

Then I bought the awesome S6 (the only problem is poor battery life).

Now I am thinking which one should I go for.
S6
-best smartphone camera (not sure how Mi5's, but aperture is smaller than S6)
-best display panel (2K + AMOLED)

Mi5
-more powerful processor (Snapdragon 820)
-MIUI
That's all

If they never mention it, then most likely it will be another type of glass which is equivalent to glorilla glass quality.

Mostly are disappointed because it doesn't meet their expectation. Mi5 took 19 months to be released after Mi4. So they thought it would be a huge improvement. But at the end, they are not impressed.

And some other things they hate including the "fake slim bezel", the home button, and the "criple" SD chip for based model.

This just came in. Apparently, the first batch sales on 1st March in China are only limited to base model and the 64gb rom model. The highest spec Mi 5 Pro is not included in the first batch.

This is crazy. Everyone know that most people will go for the Pro model. But Xiaomi is not going to sell it on the first wave. What the hell?

I guess they are worry that the fans may ditch the base model. So they came out with this silly tactic?
