The Xiaomi Mi 5 is quite the rage now, and we’re striving to bring you as many details about the phone as possible.
The Mi 5 was launched a couple of days back, i.e., on the 24th of February in China. The phone also had an unveil a little while later at MWC 2016 in Barcelona, where we managed to spend some time with it.
Something that phone enthusiasts somehow seem to enjoy each time are unboxing videos. The fun part here is that the audience is clearly divided into two distinct sets — one which will watch every unboxing video available on the internet, and the other, which doesn’t know why people make such videos.
That said, we all know where we belong. So here’s a video of a Black Xiaomi Mi 5 being unboxed!

The video comes courtesy of someone in China (iVankr? Umm, okay), and is reuploaded by the folks at Geekbuying who have the phone listed in its Mi 5 Pro variant as well as the 32GB and 64GB versions.
To remind you of its specifications, the Mi 5 comes with a 5.15-inch 1920 x 1080p display, a Snapdragon 820 processor, 3/4GB RAM, 32/64/128GB ROM, 16 mega-pixel rear camera, IR blaster, and more. You can find the full spec sheet here.
its a beautiful phone .. wish it had the international antennas everyone was gossiping about
He’s saying what??
he was saying how he and is wife are now divorced, but he found a renewal of his mind and general personality through the hobby of collecting smartphones, he said this is his favourite smartphone so far, and he gave a shout out to all the people on gizchina, and finally he wishes one day he will become the CEO of his own smartphone company
its a shame though, once we reach the level of having chips in our skin, smartphones will not exist anymore
His thumb was so sweaty that the fingerprint scanner went short circuit.
hey dude. wasn’t i just talking with you on android authority? I thought id seen that profile pic somewhere. small world lol
This is a much better place to learn about Chinese phones than AA. Several of us do go on AA though.
Yeah, I’m here most of the times.
Chinese phones is my world, I don’t care much of regular OEMs.
So you guys have decided to finish us with this unboxing video.
I understood nothing.
Mi disappointed. First lunched mi5 in a fhd panel. Then there are 2versions and then there is mi4s. There is no mention of hires audio.
FHD is the perfect choice for this display size. 2k would have been a waste of resources with no real benefit.
Agreed. But we see galaxy s6 performed beautifully with. 2k. But the fact that it missed hi res audio ia real disappointment
S6 had terrible battery life because of that 2k display.
Both s6 and s7 have a beautiful screen because the screen itself is of great quality, it’s not related with the resolution! Plus, they’re amoled screen nicely balanced (not the iper-saturated colours we were used to in the past from this kind of screens). Resolution has nothing to do with all of that, it’s just a marketing move with a lot of cons and none pro (maybe vr is the only way it could be useful, but vr won’t be a useful technology for years, if ever).
Now, I have a gionee e7, and the screen is totally good, nothing to rant about it. But everytime I see my bro’s lg g2, I think “damn, THAT’S a screen worth looking at, I could stare at the homepage for hours!”. And they’re both fhd screen on similar dimensions (5.5″ vs 5.2″), that little extra amount of ppi does nothing: it’s just that g2 has a stunning, great quality panel!
