There are three variants of the Mi 5, so join us after the break for the rest of the features and specifications.

Looks-wise, the Mi 5 has some style; the side bezels appear impressively thin and the body of the 128GB version is made out of a material that Xiaomi describes as “3D ceramic”, along with a metal frame. Xiaomi has obviously taken some measure of inspiration from Samsung’s Galaxy S6 flagship for the curved edges of the Mi 5, which is somewhat reinforced by the position of the home button that doubles up as the fingerprint scanner. That being said, the Mi 5 is a good looking phone.
