Design and build quality
The Mi 5 is one of the best looking smartphones to date, with exceptional looks and design. The rear glass is curved around the long sides, while the front piece is perfectly flat. Xiaomi put a chamfered edge on the frame to complement the gentle curves on the back, and this combo worked out for the best.
We have always appreciated metal frames in phones, and the Xiaomi Mi 5 delivers. It also improves the grip, boosts the looks, and makes the handling more pleasant.
Weight: 129g
Thickness: 7.3mm
The display may look almost bezel-less, but it isn't. The metal frame is the border, and it took us a while to get used to it when swiping, as most of the time our thumb scratched the metal before proceeding seamlessly onto the screen. It wasn't unpleasant, but unusual at first.
Xiaomi indeed got everything right with the Mi 5 build quality, and you can rest assured the wait was worth it even just to handle this beauty. It is excellently crafted, with solid build, premium materials, and it puts a twist on the dual-glass design
