The Good The Xiaomi Mi 5 has a sleek, lightweight design with a beautiful finish that's as good as any high-end phone. Great camera and dual-SIM features will let you use this as a travel phone too. It's top-of-the-line hardware at a low price.

The Bad There's no microSD card slot like the Samsung Galaxy S7, or removable battery like the LG G5.

The Bottom Line Xiaomi's impressive Mi 5 has the features to stand up against the very best, but it's a shame it won't be officially available worldwide.

same thing happened to me lol.. using it with a mouse now until the pro version is available
Good idea. It's only that Xiaomi using that fragile screen technology on the flagship series kind of tricky to the buyer but strategic on the business sense.. I might consider buying redmi note 3 instead unless I found effective solution to prevent screen crack. Tampered glass just won't work.

Screen size is subjective. If we are still talking about a phone, it's the right size and right weight of a flagship.

Prefer a flagship of 5.5"....however, yhe white mi5 do looks nice

samsung S7 is 5.1" ... :s22:
nowadays there is no 1 single flagship
there will be few models of flagship ... few models of mid, and few models of low end ....

unless they can reduce bezel to LG G2 standard or better, otherwise better stay below 5.2"

as long as it will be available in SG
too bad still no sign of it yet

quite worry it won't come to SG just like Mi4 which was also quite quality ... but end up we are stuck with the cheaper version Mi4i :(

Now MiUI supports moving to SD? It used to be disabled.
