This is the first time that an Mi-series flagship is being launched in another country after going on sale in China the same month. We’re talking about the Xiaomi Mi 5, which went on sale in China on the first of March and is set to launch in India on the last day of the same month.

    Very poor AnTuTu v6 score. Early 2015-ish performance in a premium, Q2 2016 phone with a flagship SoC. I’ll bet that MIUI Rom is still as garbage as it was when it comes to system resource hogging.
