Xiaomiย surprised us once again, after announcing the Mi 5S which wasn’t exactly as we expected โ no dual cameras among other stuff. But… they just launched the Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus which actually has two rear cameras!
The Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus sports full-metal design, a 5.7″ screen and it’s powered by the fastestย Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 clocked at 2.35Ghz.
The two cameras will be both 13MP from Sony and will differ as in one has a sensor which captures colors while the other one is only black and white, just like what happens on the Huawei P9.ย The two lenses can be used alone but can also work simultaneouslyย through ClearSight technology, thus giving richer details and less overall noise.
Both cameras support support RAW format shooting, HDR, PDAF and are accompanied by aย dual tone LED flash. The Mi 5S Plus can shootย 4Kย videos at 30fps, 1080p / 720p atย 30fps and 720p slow-motion videos at 120fps.
In addition to that the dual camera setup doesn’t protrude from the back. Below the cameras we find a fingerprint scanner.
On the front we findย a 4MP Ultra-pixel sensor with 2ฮผm pixels, an aperture or f/2.0 and a 80ยฐ degree wide angle lens.
Gizchina News of the week
The Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus features NFC (to work with Mi Pay) and 4G+ connectivity, along with carrier aggregation. The Wi-Fi chipset supports ac dual band Wi-Fi with MIMO technology, Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Display. It’ll possible to use two SIM in dual standby mode with 3 x CA support. Other than that, you also get an infrared which is still a neat feature to have.
The Xiaomi handsetย carries a 3800mAh battery chargeable with Quick Charge 3.0 and it will come in two versions, the cheaper one with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage (UFS 2.0), and the pricier variant with 6GB of RAM + 128GB of built-in memoryย (UFS 2.0).
The Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus will be available in four colors: silver, grey gold and rose gold / pink.
Pricing and availability
The 4GB + 64GB version will cost 2299 ($344)ย Yuan while the 6GB + 128GB will be priced 2599 Yuan ($389). They’ll go on sale from September 29th onย mi.com, Mi Home and JD.com
This meant there will not be Xiaomi mi note 2, i guess….
That would be too bad! I still hope for a curved display modell. The renders of the Mi Note 2 just looked awesome!
Or it will come later wit S830. Dont You think? :rollingeyes:
I think it could still come.. The Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus doesn’t look like the best they can do.
I want the features of the smaller Mi 5s with the Mi 5s Plus screen size and dual cameras, that could be the Mi Note 2!
There will be with the name Xiaomi mi note Pro ,they did’t present a model with Samsung curved display….so coming soon
I hope it will come otherwise I’ll stick with my OP3 until next year…
I like everything except for the rear mounted fingerprint scanner (I prefer front…) And perhaps no black colour option, but otherwise, it looks pretty good to me! ๐
Good pricing once again. Xiaomi knows how to balance things up.
Again no Black phones ?
#Blackcoversmatter !
Something tell me that next year we’ll have it… a jet black one… hmm.
Damnit. It’s good but not what I’m after. I want an all black phone like the Xiaomi Mi Note with a front fingerprint sensor, 4GB+64GB, Snapdragon 820/821 and slim bezels for 2999RMB or less.
Why don’t they just update the Mi Note with new hardware and a fingerprint sensor like the OP3’s one? I would happily pay 2999RMB for it!
What exactly is not what you after? I don’t see it.. This phone is pretty cheap and has it all IMO!
I just wished the Mi5S is the one with dual camera…
I really wished for Mi 5S Plus except the screen size is 5inch or something ;(
Plus has smaller sensors. Both lack of OIS and large aperture.
If the algorithm is good, with the help of mono sensor it can match with larger sensor of Mi5s at low light still images, but I think it will suffer at video shooting because small pixels and small aperture.
Top and bottom parts of Plus looks like plastic unlike smaller one if you care.
Plus’ display is 50nit dimmer.
Well I don’t undestand half of what you said.. By half I mean all except the display part haha
But for a poor-not-so-good-with-mobiles-techs-and-shit like me, do you think 5S or 5S Plus is better? Overall.. ;p
Long story short Plus’ video shooting quality gonna be lower than Mi5s, but at photo shooting they might be closer IMO.
Rear plate of Mi5s is all metal except the lines like an iPhone 6/6s/7 or HTC A9.
Top and bottom parts of Plus’ rear side is made of plastic like Huawei Mate 8/G8 or Lenovo K5/P1.
Check out a hands on video. You will see top and bottom parts doesn’t shine like its central back plate.
In short, if I wnat camera then Mi 5S if I want anything else then mi 5S Plus?
Good thing I don’t take photos anyway haha
I don’t care about the plastic and shit.
So Mi 5S Plus..
Thanks so much tbh I was ganna get the Mi 5S.. But now I undestand it all thanks to you :3
@max power

Prophetic ๐
wtf … you a seer or somethin’ ?
You don’t need magic to predict something like that, to be honest ?
Too bad they didn’t came with a Jet black variant too… for now.
Well where is the 4-axis OIS that were introduced on mi5? Both mi5s and plus don’t seem to have it! What’s wrong?
Why they just don’t give us OLED or even AMOLED display?
Their fricking budget note has a amoled and their flagship not? Not interested anymore in a phone without
Good things: SD821, 128GB variant, Dual camera on Plus
Bad things: No OIS, IPS LCD poor quality screen, f2.0 on camera
This meant there will not be Xiaomi mi note 2, i guess….
