MWC16 Following a hypetastic presentation from Xiaomi Global VP Hugo Barra, your correspondent was among the first to get a quick hands-on with the 5.15” Mi 5, Xiaomi’s newly announced smartphone.
Xiaomi is the huge smartphone brand you may not have heard of, if you live outside the far east. It is the bestselling brand in China, according to Barra, with 15 per cent market share (just ahead of Huawei at 14 per cent), and sold 70 million smartphones in 2015.
Today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona the company for the first time held a flagship product launch in Europe, shows the company’s intent to become more of a global contender.
The first impression is that this device really is light; 129g according to the spec, and thin at 7.25mm, despite its well-specified 3000 mAh battery. It’s also notable how little bezel there is surrounding the screen. This is touted by Xiaomi as a good thing, though it does mean that you have to hold it by its edges to avoid obscuring part of the display, so it is a mixed blessing.
The device is smooth and well-made but feels less premium than a Samsung S7, though ahead of an LG G5. Note, though, that the model on display was not the Pro version with its “3D ceramic back cover,” but is the mid-range version, which has a glass back.
