Xiaomi Mi 5X - Comments

Advantages: 1.The bulid quality seems premium, the feel of the matt back is nice 2.It is very slim, only 7,3mm 3.The dual camera is promising, the portrait mode is great, not just a gimmic 4.The processor is fast and efficient 5.4GB of RAM are enough for most users 6.One of the few, if not the only phone that has IR blaster, FM radio and USB type C 7.The fingerpring sensor is fast and accurate 8.It also supports double tap to wake 9.A complete phone that doesn't lack anything

Limitations: 1.It shipped with China Stable ROM because global is not out yet (Sept-2017), that means it only supports Chinese and English language except if you unlock bootloader and flash a custom ROM (at the time Xiaomi does not allow that) 2.China stable ROM doesnt have Playstore installed or any google services so it has to be done manualy 3.Although it looks premium the upper and lower bezels are very large for a 2017 phone 4.The battery could be larger

Conclusions: Very satisfy with the phone although the screen protector is pretty much rubbish as it does not cover the whole screen portion and got lot of air pocket lines at both side at the edge.
