For those of you wanting to see how the standard version of the Xiaomi Mi5 performs, here are a few benchmarks I have just ran.
Earlier today I received the Xiaomi Mi5. This standard version of the phone has a 1.8Ghz Snapdragon 820, 3GB RAM and 32GB memory. Those specs are slightly downgraded when compared to the Xiaomi Mi5 Pro, but the performance is excellent none the less.
I’m still getting to grips with the Xiaomi Mi5 and it is too early to tell you things like how fast the phone charges or how good the camera is, but these benchmarks should give you an idea of the power in this phone.
Gizchina News of the week
For now I have only ran Antutu, Geekbench, GFXBench and 3DMark.
For those of you wanting to see the phone in all it’s glory check out my Xioami Mi5 unboxing video here.
Great phone with great reviews. Can’t wait for the price to drop.
That geekbench score actually aint that great … but the other scores are awesome!
It only got 110,000 on Antutu?? WTF I was hoping for at least 120,000!!
It’s the lite version, with an underclocked Snapdragon 820 and slower RAM
Lol at you and the guy below
i know right lololololol
What makes my comment great is the people who take it seriously lol.
he has the lite version. The other two versions have scored just a hair above 140k
What score does Mi 5 Pro get ?
see my answer above:
> The other two versions have scored just a hair above 140k.
Is 140k sound about right for 2016 flagship ?
Frankly I don’t know the answer to that — what you are asking is in part “how meaningful is Antutu for 2016 flagship phones?”
A Samsung Galaxy S4, which scores somewhere in the neighborhood of 25k-35k, is actually fairly peppy as a daily light use phone.
Thanks very much that explanation. I think I’ll either go for Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro or Huawei P9 if I’m being honest.
Ha…so Balco what have you ordered finally?
Nothing yet lol. I am leaning towards the Gionee S8 but I want to wait for the Meizu MX6, Huawei P9 and One Plus 3 to come out first.
Haha word…i think the phones you mentionned should offer a huge plus compared to the MI5 which is almost at 400$ for the basic version. You like big screens so you would be disappointed at all. I am sure OnePlus 3 and Meizu MX6 will be killer phones.
The Mi5 is a very good phone with killer specs for the price I just don’t like the screen size or design.
op2 +boeffla kernel = 103k.
-gizchina mi5 version underclock 1.8ghz.
I know, right? Now you’ll never buy it with such a low antutu score! Maybe a fixed version of the rom will raise it a bit, but it probably won’t be enough anyway 🙁
It would be great if you could run GFXBench long term performance, maybe leave it running when you go to sleep.
Nobody has looked at that yet to see how hard the GPU throttles under sustained load.- or at least nothing i could find last time i’ve checked a few h ago.
didn’t miss it 😉
I can’t see an article and it is interesting as it can do 4k at 60FPS for cheap and A72 at 2GHz is pretty fast. Plus the Mediatek chip it uses is something we didn’t knew it exists,if you Google MT8693 all you find is related to this device.

PS> if you run it twice in a row the number drops a lot still, just like the 810. Back to back runs on the Galaxy S7 snapdragon 820 went from ~130k to 94k from first to second run. This puts it into spitting distance of the Helio X20, which doesn’t have anywhere near that much fade.
i know right lololololol

Honestly I don’t know the answer to that — what you are asking is in part “how meaningful is Antutu for 2016 flagship phones?”
A Samsung Galaxy S4, which scores somewhere in the neighborhood of 25k-35k in antutu v6, is actually fairly peppy as a daily light use phone. Virtually any phone sold in 2016 will at least match, if not double or more, that performance, even at prices well below $200. So basically antutu scores are meaningless for simple daily use.
If you have some specific app or type of app (like gaming) that is resource intensive then you will also have a very specific measure of what good enough is. So antutu scores are possibly meaningless again.
If you are a power user looking to replace their laptop/desktop literally with their phone, you’ll want something that is as powerful as possible but the biggest concern is the CPU speed scores, not the overall antutu score. A concrete example: the helio X20 and the kirin 950 score ~75-85k and ~85-95k repsectively, while the snapdragon 820 scores ~110-140k. However most of the Snapdragon’s advantage comes from the GPU (Which a power user who isnt gaming won’t care about) — and these very different scores are representing roughly the same performance in this regard from all three designs.
Thanks very much that explanation. I think I’ll either go for Xiaomi Mi 5 Pro or Huawei P9 if I’m being honest.

Since we’re talking about benchmark here, can you run at least 3 antutu in a row and tell us how much results get lower and how much temperature rise?
Can we get a battery test next?
Cheers.
So we can’t buy directly from mi even if we have Chinese address and payment too? Mi sites asking for captcha login in Chinese language grrrrr!!
If you have Chinese address, I guess you have friends in China, ask them to help you with that… and good luck!
Thing is little complicated, the friend is not Chinese, my relative who lives there and not much of an techie person. Purchasing mi online is tricky, need to act super fast to beat those Chinese bots and place order smoothly. That’s why I wanted to do all myself and use that friend’s address.

Thats really interesting.

My every dream has been shattered. I expected 135k+/140k at least. Will not buy.
You are joking right?
No. I will buy a device that is either 85,000+ on AnTuTu v5 (preferably 90,000+), or 135,000+ on AnTuTu v6 (preferably 140,000+).
Buying a 2016 flagship with underwhelming performance isn’t a priority for me. I can wait another generation if I have to.
Then go for a PRO version instead. If it’s so important to you, why even bother with the entry 1.8GHz model?
Except Antutu tells you nothing about the performance. So let me fix that comment for you.

Sadly he is not. Antutu is the world to him.
I really like to know -is the supplied cable USB C on both it’s ends? A yes would mean the charger also has USB C!!

Rubbish score. Imagine the lag and freezes. Better off with an elephone or doogee… How can I use whatsapp or gmail with a score so low?
And what about Candy Crush??
2+2 in the calculator would take for ever…

Now if they can only sell that Mi5 at around 320$(how it should be)Instead of the 400+ they are asking almost everywhere, that would be great.
The industry has gone beyond megahertz battles, so those extra Mhz on the CPU and GPU do amplify performance in benchmarks, but in real life you will never really know the difference, because it`s the architecture that actually matters.
