Xiaomi Mi 5S Plus - 6GB RAM, Triple Cameras

Hello! Xiaomi Mi5s Plus was launched recently and here are the features: 5.7-inch FHD Screen, Snapdragon 821 CPU, 6GB RAM, and Triple cameras with two rear cameras (source: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/xiaomi-mi5s-plus).
The dual rear cameras is a unique characteristic in which it features a 13MP colored camera and a 13MP black & white camera. I'm not sure how this would translate. But I'm certain the 6GB RAM and Snapdragon 821 processor would definitely provide an excellent performance.
Any thoughts on this smartphone?

If a decent developer community forms and this gets the ability to work on Verizon then I'm sold. But I have to hold out hopes that the Mi5 progress keeps advancing and can easily translate to this device.

Be careful, the mi5s plus cameras are old sony imx258 and not the new imx378 on the mi5s. Also the mi5s plus lacks of ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

Yah, they gimped the plus so much.. if you like larger phones, neither are good buys. If the plus had 2 x imx378 and ultrasonic, best phone in the world easily, by hardware.
The pixel phones use the imx378, I believe, and the pixel is rated best camera phone by DxO (take with grain of salt as they're apparently biased), but it still shows the prowess of the imx378.

Would the dual rear cameras make any difference in terms of picture quality? How can the additional black & white camera help?

Just got this phone today.
It is amazing fast, super high performance.
With default setup, it can have 4G RAM free
However, it only have chinese stock rom at this moment.

Well, sadly enough that the imx378's sensor is large and I assumed that is why the dual camera setup with that sensor is not achievable.
Same goes to OIS, most probably due to sensor size issues. (Pixel phones have no OIS thou)

From what I've read, but I'm not an expert, the B&W camera should be capable of capturing more light.
So combining images from both cameras it should capture better pictures on low light conditions.

So I guess it will result to much clearer pictures and lesser noise compared to the single color camera. That's nice. :good:

I saw a screenshot on eu.miui.
Would have bought it if it were sold with that when it came out. Now I have bought a Sony. Probably will wait for the Mi Note Pro 2.

Maybe some would want to post photo samples​ with the latest ROM?

I have it and for me there's 2 things that I don't like. MIUI 8 , I'm a stock Android guy I hope somebody bring cm or something like this to this mobile and the other thing it's the camera, it's a camera for me from the beginning of 2015, that perform well in optimal light conditions and in low light even with the stereo option it's not very well.
Conclusion, I'm not a photo guy so there's no problem but I can't support miui even that it runs fast in this mobile. So until we have some development to this mobile I'm going to stay whit my axon 7.

Doesn't worth the value for money yet. If mi5s sources come out with official nougat rom I will stick with it for years.

I will wait for the global version, probably in about two months.

No headphone jack and launches with MM .... seriously ?

7.1.1. and it comes with an usb-c to jack adaptor.

Good:
Return of OIS
Expect that dual camera doesn't drop the quality compared to Mi5s camera.
Return of IR
7.1 at least
.84cm thinner
starts with 6gb ram
Bad:
Same dimensions, same screen size, same resolution. I expected the borders on top and bottom would be smaller.
No headphone jack
Price on online stores are too high compared to the "launch price".

I will sell my Mi5s if Mi6 became cheaper.

big hype before release....... looks/body same as my mi5s.
Very disapointing for me. Will hold on to my Mi5s, not worth to (up)grade to mi6

With released sources we could bump to standard cpu clock, antutu 170k like Oneplus 3T. Then, no point for me to upgrade to mi6 180k. Mi6 shouldn't bring quick charge 4? Weird. And 3.5 jack removal is a non sense for me. I will not buy usb earphones and will not walking around with an adapter. And 2.5d screen is already my biggest regret against mi5s, i miss screen glass protector. Also I'm not a fan of dual camera, too much dependency on software exactly where Xiaomi sucks. Mi6 bezel seems worst than mi5s, but have to confirm.

Exactly why i look forward to change my mi5s.
The camera has the potential but software just makes it look like a disappointment

So a new mobile released before source is even released for the Mi5S how crappy is that... never getting another flagship model phone from Xiaomi again lack of support and updates for the Mi5S is totally unacceptable

Looks like it's using the same fp reader as mi5s which kind of sucks

This probably means the Mi5S is soon dropping in price I'm very happy with mine (I don't have the fingerprint wake_lock issue for whatever reason) and it's a phone I gladly recommend my friends. Yes the camera could use OIS, but I've lived years without and am used to hold my phone still for pictures.
I do miss the headphone jack on the Mi6, but my main headphones are Bluetooth now, so it's no big issue for me. Still not going to buy it, because the Mi5S is more than good enough for me

Agree i had the OPX perfect size would jump at a OP5 5" version.

Xiaomi Mi6 has a nice design but those big bezels and lack of headphone jack is a problem. Let's see the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, hopefully with a screen 5.5" 1080p, CPU SD835, battery 3.5Ah, camera 16MP etc.!
Anyway no release of Kernel Source Code (KSC), no purchase! I'm still waiting for the KSC for my Mi5s to be released although it was introduced in the market in 09.2016! I'm very disappointed in Xiaomi.

'big bezels'? the bezels are on par with the average smartphone and yes they could have decreased the size but that would also mean less battery which is not something I would like to sacrifice. As for the headphone jack or lack thereof I am disappointed but I am willing to forgive xiaomi because unlike apple you cannot expect everything from a company that sells their flagships for half the price of regular flagships. for the price difference you could even buy yourself a quality audio player with a built in DAC and also a nice pair of headphones.

Anyone know what sensor is being used for the camera?

Mi MAX 2 going to be launched. What do you think guys?

http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_max_2-8582.php
no improvement - 6.44" (1080x1920 pixels)
no improvement - 12MP (2160p)
good improvement - 6GB RAM (Snapdragon 626)
slight imprvement - 5000mAh (Li-Ion)

The SOC feels like a downgrade
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk

big improvement - NFC

Some rumors about a SD 660 chipset. Otherwise I dont know how the 626 compares to 650. Is the camera alot better I might be interested anyway. My wife can get my mi max 1 then

The camera will be a great improvement (Sony imx 378)

Yeah, if that really is the SoC with 3 year old A53-s, its a downgrade.

Keep the price at around $300 for the 128gb version and it will be a steal even with a slightly better soc and camera.

SD626 isn't as good as SD652/3 but it has best endurance. With proper optimization, it may lead this area. SD626+5000mAh is definitely much much better.
Also these guys are downgrading SOC to keep costs same. See the way Redmi Note series did.

It's not about price, it's about supply... Xiaomi is too nobady to get on the 660 wagon. Even bigger and more reputable players on the market have hard times to secure 660 from Qualcomm in quantities they need.

Yes! That's the biggest point, true.
The topper here is SD625+5000mAh phone.

The 626 will get better battery life at the expense of performance, like the Redmi Note 3 vs Note 4 Snapdragon variants. I guess most people won't be able to tell the performance difference but they can definitely tell battery life changes.
The great thing about the 650/652 is that it could be really fast if you wanted it or really efficient. The 615 and 626 don't have that ability because they don't have powerful A72 cores. The 660 would be the best but I doubt that will make it into a lot of phones as it could jeopardize flagship sales... Who needs the latest 8xx SoC when a 66x at half the price is good enough?

I have the 650 soc Max, using it as a mini tablet at home. If the Max 2 have richer duel speakers; better contrast screen and 660 soc. I will likely upgrade, otherwise the current Max is good enough.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 has been released.
Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Smartphone Main Features:

i can't believe it, snapdragon 650 to 625 is an upgrade???
it's a huge mistake and very disappointing
also i hoped for a better LCD which is the same

Relieved to read the specs of this phone. No need to upgrade if you own a Max. On the contrary, buy one when the priced fall a bit as the Max 2 is released. It has a better SoC.

This price is joke. I wouldn't buy even for 399
Hi end phone with low end software
For that price I would definitely buy OP5T

What do you mean with low-end software though? Afaik xiaomi is one of the few vendor who updates regularly even their 5 y/o devices & always update android's latest security patch & their flagships line-up get comparably faster in update of latest android version. From customer's standpoint, that is pretty high-end maintenance there.

Exactly even I also think same for the price it offers. OP5T is a fantastic device in its price range even beats all competitive devices like LG V30 Plus, Honor View 10 & Samsung devices :fingers-crossed:

I have both the OnePlus 5T and the Mi6 Blue ceramic.
They are VERY different phones.
The OnePlus is excellent - very fast, very smooth and the OS has the biggest development community on XDA.
The Mi 6 is excellent also. If you know what you're doing, it photographs better, the oleophilic coating on the screen is much nicer, the feel in the hand is better than any other phone out there. And it's fast.
It's like BMW vs. Mercedes. Very different. Very capable.
The biggest difference is that the OP it's OLED and the Mi6 is LCD.
So.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Mi 7.

Note 7 or Note 7 Pro

I have seen Xiaomi is going to release Note 7 in Feb 28 but I have been wondering that "It comes it with snapdragon 660 or 675?". If they release Note 7 with snapdragon 675, the Note 7 Chinese version will lose android development because no developer will buy it.

The only difference is the cpu? Perhaps it's the same rom?

I'm talking about other factors, even my 3 years old Zenfone could take 48mp pics.
The rate increases by almost 50% for just camera and SD675 upgrade.

What 50% rate? If you are talking about price, you are mistaken. It will be 50USD more expensive than RN7 for the equivalent ram/storage variant. And thing about in screen fingerprint is a rumor based from that 48 Mp teaser photo. If the specs were based off the teaser, there would also be 24W charging and liquid cooling. But that would put this phone in above 300 USD price range which would basically make it more expensive than a Pocophone. And nobody would be buying it. But they are presenting it is a game changer, budget king and so on. Makes no sense from marketing point of view and is completely illogical business-wise. After all, all phone manufacturers are in the business of making money.
Don't board the sheep train. There will be no in screen fingerprint, only different cpu and camera sensor, eventually more ram/storage

the big thing for the pro is north american support. the note 7 doesn't support proper north american radios, the pro will, its the same with all previous generations

As far as I know only the processor is different between note 7 and note 7 pro. But it's not noticable when day to day use. Is there any difference between in these devices apart from processor.

The main different is camera: Pro comes with sony imx 586 and other hand is samsung m1.

I want metal frame + Sony IMX586 ( for Google Cam ) + Snap 670/675/710/712 on N7 Pro
I don't like plastic bezel on N7

You have mate 20 pro, why buy budget phone like this?

I think note 7 is much more bang for buck in terms of value for money when compared to the note 7 pro.
the Rate at which technology and phones cycle now you need to upgrade yearly now to be on par with whats new, I would much rather spend on mid range once a year than buy pro or flagship and look outdated a year and half later...

is there NFC only on the pro version?

very disappointed as well

Mi 9 has NFC, they need to make sacrifices to cut costs on this line.
