Even though the official announcement of the Xiaomi Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus just came recently, the company claims that they are already enjoying quite a lot of attention among buyers. According to official reports, there are already over 3 million customers who’ve registered their interest in the new devices, and it looks like these phones are set to take the market by storm.
It’s not hard to see why either, as Xiaomi have been working hard to implement various improvements in the models, and they’re now some of the most capable Android handsets we’ve seen in a while. From the sheer processing power and other important internals, to entertainment features like a dual rear camera, the devices have a lot to offer to everyone.
Speaking of the internals, those have seen quite the improvement and should satisfy the needs of any Android power user. With 3 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 821 processor, the devices should have plenty of power to handle advanced tasks and even more active multitasking. In the case of the Mi 5s Plus, users will actually get 4 GB of memory, making it even more capable for rigorous use.
It looks like Xiaomi have been following online discussions and impressions about the Mi 5, as many of the changes in the Mi 5s seem to be a direct response to some common criticisms we’ve seen about its predecessor.
The designers have been paying a lot of attention to the quality of the camera, the hardware build and the form factor of the device, and the Mi 5s has a pretty good potential to succeed even among those who were skeptical of its predecessor.
Some of the negative points critics have brought up about the new models are aimed at things like the camera’s performance in more difficult conditions, as well as minor details like screen glare issues. Overall though, there doesn’t seem to be any obvious point that can be brought up as a major negative feature of the phones, and they seem to be balanced offers overall.
Users have been commenting on the improvements in the visual design of the devices, and it looks like the company has been paying a lot of attention to this factor lately. It might have come with a slight delay, but at least they ended up realizing the importance of having a device that looks as sharp as it performs.
It’s too early to tell if the Xiaomi Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus will see the kind of success they are currently expected to, but many people seem to have high hopes for them, including some who’ve been previously critical of the company and their devices.
Following the progress of Xiaomi has actually been an interesting ordeal, as they managed to build quite the strong name for themselves on the smartphone market, and right now they’re enjoying a lot of well-deserved attention. There were some critical opinions about the build quality of their devices in the past, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
The release of the Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus proves once again that the company deserves its current reputation. Hopefully they will be able to keep it up in the future though – as we’ve seen before, it only takes one really bad release to seal the bad faith of a company on the market, and nobody is really protected against that.
