Why did I call this smartphone tourist in the review? Everything is simple. He is ideal as a navigator and he good camera - And what else do you need a tourist from the smartphone? I specifically asked the MI 5S Plus for testing for the time of my week vacation - and did not lose.

Price

Battery

Battery capacity, sort of, rather impressive - 3800 mAh. On the other hand, the device is completely large. With what more screenThe more he eats electricity.

However, the results of battery tests - 180% of the reference. The result is excellent. Definition per day very hard. Xiaomi traveled with me on vacation, where I, as usual, chaotically moved through an unfamiliar area, actively using the navigator and convulsively photographing the same smartphone all that you can not eat or drink. Somehow managed to discharge the MI 5S percent to thirty. But that was a bright clear day, so the brightness of the screen was the maximum or almost maximum.

Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus as a flashlight

The flash brightness in the flashlight mode is slightly above the average. Not bad, the road can be highlighted.

Xiaomi MI 5S Plus as photo and video camera

A traditional question - can a test smartphone replace the digit-makeup? In this case, it is definitely yes. Brought from weekly vacation almost eight hundred pictures. I am satisfied with the quality. I understand, it happens better. But ... However, what to say. Examples in front of you slightly below text. See, think.

Curious camera. She is double. More precisely, there are two rear cameras. One, basic, makes ordinary color photos. The second is monochrome - the default is turned off. To work the second camera, you need to turn on the "stereo" mode - click on the diaphragm icon in the camera interface. (Why is the mode so named and why this icon is used - for me a mystery. But, probably, there is some logic in it). And in the "Stereo" mode, the final picture on a schitone algorithm is formed from pictures obtained from two cameras.

What is important to know. Normal shooting with one camera, even in HDR mode, happens quickly. As it should be for a smartphone with such iron. Shchelk - ready. Removing the "stereo" where as slow. Something about a second on the frame, if not more. On the question of why smartphones powerful processors and fast memory. Or time is spent not to create a picture of two, but for something else? I do not know.

The results are curious. Night "stereo", for my taste, you get better than shots with one camera, even if this single camera works in the "night" mode.

In the afternoon I "stereo" usually did not include, leaving the camera in automatic HDR mode. Yes, the day "stereo" is also sometimes very curious. Less bright and more natural, or something. If you are not in a hurry anywhere, it makes sense to experiment, take a picture and edak, then at leisure slowly compare and leave the best. But wait a second on the frame? This is a bust. All delicious and interesting will have time from the frame to escape / fall / detect / leave.

And, in fact, very lacking the regime in which the smartphone immediately did the usual car, HDR and the "stereo" and retained them with the side of all three. I would like them with pleasure.

Forward, went to watch photos. Today there will be a lot of them. Signatures if they are, are located over corresponding pictures.

Microwakdonalds:

Lonely bird:

More photos (Anonymus, Bikver and many others)

So what are you, anonymus! HDR.

Macro. Macree does not happen.

The saddest monument of Budapest.

Well, how not to drink a bikabber overlooking the Danube?

Tourists saw something interesting, I saw tourists.

Camera in night mode.

The same thing, but the camera in the "stereo".

Dark wine basement. "Stereo".

Train Budapest - Delhi.

Auto, Dark Church.

The same church, but "stereo".

On September 27, Xiaomi held another presentation in Beijing, where two new smartphones were represented at once - Xiaomi Mi5s and Xiaomi Mi5s Plus. Usually, the prefix "Plus" indicates the increased size of the display, but in the case of the MI5S, the situation is slightly different. MI5 and MI5S Plus differ not only by the diagonal of screens, but also the amount of memory, cameras, batteries, design, the location of some elements. In fact, these are two different devices. But first things first.

Initially, as usual, characteristics.

Characteristics Xiaomi Mi5s.

Screen: IPS LCD, Diagonal 5.15 ", Resolution 1920x1080 Points, 428 PPI, 2.5D Glass
Processor: Eight-core on the platform Qualcomm Snapdragon. 821 (2x2.15 GHz Kryo + 2x1.6 GHz Kryo)
Graphics: Adreno 530 (624 MHz)
RAM: 3/4 GB
Slot under the memory card: no
Main Camera: 12 MP with autofocus and flash, Sony imx378 sensor, pixel size 1.55 μm, F / 2.0, 5 lenses, video is written in 4K
Battery: 3200 mAh
Dimensions: 145.6 x 70.3 x 8.3 mm
Weight: 145 grams

The prefix "S" should mean improvements compared with the previous flagship of this year - Xiaomi Mi5. What has improved?

The glass with a 2.5D effect appeared. In my opinion, this was not enough of the last model, when everyone has already implemented similar glass even in smartphones of the middle and budget segments.

The screen gained support for the handling technology of pressures, here it is called 3D Touch Display and is in the older version (4/128 GB). A strange decision is to add support to the older version and do not add to the younger, it makes confusion in the already complex classification of smartphones.

The MI5S also updated the platform - the latest Snapdragon 821 is used and the company refused to version 32 GB. This is a logical step, because the smartphone does not support memory cards, but the minimum version is 64 GB at once.

The camera is also another - a new sensor, the resolution has become lower (12 Mp vs. 16) and there is no optical stabilization, but the size of the pixels is increased (1.55 μm versus 1.12 microns in MI5). As will be in fact - I do not know. Front-camera without changes.

The black false frame around the display was not so obvious, which was in MI5 - also progress.

A slightly increased battery capacity, now it is 3200 mAh against 3000 mAh in the usual MI5.

Overall, new Xiaomi. Mi5s really looks good work on some simple MI5 errors. Questions causes one point - fingerprint scanner. Yes, he is now ultrasonic. Yes, it is located under the screen, how many like it. But! If in mi5 it was thin mechanical key With the scanner inscribed in it, now it's just a touchscreen and scanner. Moreover, in the MI5S Plus smartphone presented with the MI5S, the scanner is on the "back". That is, now Xiaomi has smartphones with the "front" scanner and the "Rear" scanner, and, in my opinion, it is strange. I will not say that it is bad, it is strange. Typically, manufacturers try to bring some standardization into their devices, build a specific logical chain, associate different smartphones. In Xiaomi, if we talk about the scanner, go along the opposite way.

"Bony" characteristics in Xiaomi Mi5s Plus exactly the same as in MI5S. The difference is to the screen diagonal and sizes. Also in MI5S Plus, the two chamber modules, one with a color sensor, the other - with monochrome. As in Huawei smartphones.

By the way, about the design, the company Xiaomi went to an unusual step, and new MI5S and MI5S Plus are made in the same design as the more budget Redmi Pro, I speak about the metal grinding, the shape of the housing and the characteristic smooth bends lines.

In the MI5S Plus, the fingerprint scanner is located on the back of the housing, and in front - only the touch keys.

In general, it is difficult for me to say which class chips offer one or another smartphone. Mi5s turned out to be a logical improvement in simple MI5, and MI5S Plus - respectively, just a little different device. If the "plus" two cameras will work as high quality as implemented in smartphones Huawei. (P9, P9 Plus, Honor 8), the device will be very interesting.

The cost of basic xiaomi versions MI5S (3/64 GB) will be 2000 yuan (about 20,000 rubles), Xiaomi Mi5s (4/128 GB) - 2300 yuan (23 000 rubles).

Cost base version Xiaomi Mi5s Plus (4/64 GB) will be 2300 yuan (about 23,000 rubles), Xiaomi Mi5s Plus (6/128 GB) - 2600 yuan (26,000 rubles).

Official prices, as usual, just as great low, how are unattainable. But taking into account the fact that Xiaomi is not so popular now and strong as two or three years ago, when the company's devices were unlternative, you can wait for quick adjustments to these prices. That is, if lowering the price of conditional MI4, a couple of years ago, it was necessary to wait 2-3 months, then the prices for MI5S and MI5S Plus will become close to the declared after a month, I suppose. At the same time, of course, it is precisely such prices that hang on the site will not be, but something around 25,000-26,000 rubles for simple MI5S and 30,000 rubles per Mi5 Plus can be waited by ordering devices from China.

It is difficult to say that not so, but, studying new devices from Xiaomi, I literally feel some kind of "irregularity". It seems that the characteristics are excellent, and everything you need - in place, but something is missing. Perhaps for my feeling there is a simple term "lit up", and maybe I, after all, the right and the company loses a little spark. It seems that everything is in place, but there is no light, there is no single style, general logic for the ruler of the devices, the feeling that the smartphones of steel for Xiaomi are simply another position on a par with TVs, headsets, external batteries and hundreds of other positions on the site.

For Xiaomi is an unusual year. First, the continuous movement of the company up to the table of the ranks of the manufacturers of smartphones was completed, the stage of peculiar stagnation came. At the same time, the company, which started as the creator of another shell for Android, already in the mass consciousness received the status of something more serious than the next Chinese telephone line: here they came to the rescue, and and glasses virtual reality, and a lot more. In addition, Xiaomi hit experiments with cramless smartphones (MI MIX) and models with bent screens (MI Note 2) - we will still talk about them, but another time.

Secondly, from the company of her vice-president, Hugo Barra, in which, actually, about Xiaomi was spoken as an international player in the smartphone market and not only smartphones.

Thirdly, despite all this, the company released two flagship at once for the year, although it usually did not always have time to release one. Following the spring presented for the first time at the MWC 2016, the mi5s arrived in the fall in two versions - with a smaller screen and more. About the second of them, in addition, equipped with a supermodic double chamber, and will be discussed in this review.

Mi5s Plus is exactly what you expect from Xiaomi: Qualcomm Snapdragon 821, 4 or 6 GB random access memory at 64 or 128 GB ROM, the already mentioned double camera (as on Huawei P9 - two sensors of 13 megapixels, RGB and monochrome), fingerprint scanner; There is even an IR sensor and the NFC module that are not always found in xiaomi devices. Unless the 5.7-inch display has "only" Full HD-resolution. And all this - for 23-26 thousand rubles, depending on the amount of memory. But, of course, in the "gray" suppliers, and not in the official store Xiaomi.

Design, Ergonomics and Software

In 2016, Xiaomi in 2016 had enough surprises in the field of smartphones: the company, which has long been laughed because of the habit of almost blindly copying the Apple design, released several very original devices - I already mentioned above (MI MIX and MI Note 2, although the last Very much reminds SAMSUNG creations). Mi5s Plus, like its predecessor, MI5, does not shine any originality. This, if you allow a Smartphone., indistinguishable from still dozens of themselves like. Only the double chamber module is thrown into the eye - and then only because we have not had time to get used to the like. By the end of the year, two cameras will appear on some budget models - This can not be doubted.

An ordinary neat smartphone - most of the front panel area takes the display, the frame is minimal. But without a mourning cut around him, it was not dealing - in pursuit of visual increasing This surface is to such a simple and, in my opinion, there are very many unsuccessful tricks. But on the screen did not carry the navigation keys - they are on them, and the backlit is equipped - this happens always.

The hull, as is the flagship without claims on originality, metallic. Color variations Four: gold, silver, rose gold and a special, dark gray version with a black front panel.

Included with a smartphone there is a simple case from transparent plastic, which in two weeks is all covered with scratches. On the one hand, a visual demonstration of what has to withstand the device with quite ordinary use scenarios, even without walking in one pocket with keys. On the other hand, it is better to change the case, for example on silicone. But safety glass The front panel (the manufacturer of which is this this time) for this period did not receive any visible damage.

But dust and moisture protection, which become key elements of the image of flagship smartphones, has no Xiaomi Mi5s Plus.

Xiaomi Mi5s Plus, Upper Edge: Mini Jack (3.5 mm) for headphones / Headset and IR port

Dimensions: 154.6 × 77.7 × 7.95 mm. Completely standard sizes for a device with a 5.7-inch display, something special in terms of disposal control Xiaomi does not offer. This is an exceptional "two-handed" device. For people familiar to big diagonals, there will be no surprises. Weigh MI5S Plus, despite the metal finish, only 168 grams - here the winning of the competitors is quite noticeable, this is one of the easiest smartphones of this format.

Rush with a head of a high "apple" fashion and deprive of their devices of the Xiaomi, which has not become nice, well, to live with the "superfluous" connector, it is still easier than without it.

The fingerprint scanner is located on the rear panel, under the camera, and this is a completely standard capacitive sensor that is sensitive to the slightest damage to the finger. Prints can be used to unlock the smartphone, individual applications, children's mode and confirmation of payments.

Now I want to write about Mi5s Plus. At first glance, everything is simple: the first phone has a smaller screen, and the second is more. So it is better to buy the one where the display is larger if the filling is the same? And here is not, now I will tell you exactly between them the difference.

Design

Together with MI5S Plus I had another Xiaomi, model Redmi Note. 4. So, by appearance And you will not understand which of them is the middle class representative, and who is the top model. Of course, this is a compliment for a cheaper device, but Mi5s Plus is very difficult to distinguish from it, all some one face.

I did not like that MI5S Plus got a brilliant body, resembling a saucepan of stainless steel. Apparently, according to the Chinese, such a golden case looks "rich", I do not argue, but it's scary quickly dirty, I would prefer a matte version. Such a sparkling design, I do not approve, gives the gypsy.

Left Xiaomi Mi5s Plus, right Xiaomi Redmi. Note 4.

For a healthy "shovel", the phone is moderately convenient, the dimensions do not cause surprise, but the metal case is slippery, so you have to be neat.

Under the screen, three touch buttons backlit, above the screen led indicator. By assembling a small flaw: rear panel Jobs when you click on it. The course is not very big, or the gasket forgot to add, or in the thickness of the metal saved.

Fingerprint scanner located behind, inconvenient? I think this is a matter of habit, but the problem is not in where it was stuck, but how he reacts to actions. There is still the same ultrasonic scanner as in Mi5s. He worked poorly and there, and there, so I remained dissatisfied with them: it turns out once, you have to press again, it is inconvenient and annoying.

Screen

A large display with a 5.7-inch diagonal and a resolution of 1080x1920 points. Is pixel not enough? I think that and Full HD is enough for a comfortable life, from this race for a superhuma picture one excess load on the system and increased battery consumption. There is a big and good display, bright and juicy, the frame of the screen is small.

Camera

Phone with a double camera (both over 13 megapixels), the system works as well as Huawei P9: one chamber makes black and white photos, and the second color. Then the software brings together two pictures into one, but I did not like the quality.

The phone removes noticeably worse than MI5S, where one camera, but a more sophisticated sensor. There is also no optical stabilization here, with insufficient lighting, the quality of the pictures decrease sharply, in general, there is nothing to praise. I stand in the museum, I remove the car, out of 5 photos only 1 sharp, it's not normal. Let me remind you that this is a top model, so that the requirements are appropriate. Xiaomi likes to compare himself with standards like Samsung or Apple, but they are still far away.

I did not see the point in double chamber, I'd rather she was alone here, but worked like in. For me, this is the best representative of the family. chinese phonesThe camera works great and makes beautiful pictures in the afternoon, and with bad lighting quality higher than that of Mi5s Plus. The quality of the video in 4k is very medium, there are strange artifacts when shooting, and here and the sound is written not very well.

Filling

There is all the same as in MI5S: Qualcomm Snapdragon 821, 4/64 or 6/128 GB of memory without slot for microSD, compartment for two SIM cards in place. Trottling did not go anywhere, in the benchmarks, the indicators fall, in general, no difference compared to MI5S, I will not repeat the same words. There is no overheating, it is well suited for games, just note that the phone is not perfect, the potential disappears.

I liked the phone in time of work, he lives longer than Mi5s and already mentioned by me, it turns out more than one day of work. Of course, it all depends on the load and mode of use of the phone, but he did not disappoint me.

Set

Clip for SIM card charger on 2,5a, uSB cable, there are no headphones.

Opinion

Will Xiaomi Mi5s Plus buy or take MI5S? Honestly, I would not bought any of these models. From flagship phone We are waiting for an excellent camera, but there is no it in these models. Normal, normal, but not super. You're like Xiaomi and you understand why Samsung takes money and why top galaxy is much more expensive. Because there is a universal camera, and this pictures are obtained only with bright sunlight, and where to take such in Moscow when the cloudy sky is here from October to May.

Suppose to do not care on the camera, if only the phone worked fine. Okay, buy, but do not wait for miracles, Xiaomi offers a compromise between the price and characteristics, as if: "Something does not like something? Then take a look at the price tag, you saved and not overpaid, so do not complain. " It does not have anything that would cause to squeak from delight, however, this is one of the cheapest phones with Snapdragon 821, it can only be purchased for one particular feature.

There is a cheaper filling, a good work time, acceptable (if you do not wait for miracles) the camera. In my opinion, the super-duper of the flagman from the MI5S Plus did not come out, which is just a scanner of prints that works with failures. Yes, they can not use it, but why then overpay for the top extra $ 100-150, if you can buy a middle-level phone with the same screen and body, but thousands of 10 cheaper? So if you think that by buying Mi5s Plus for 30 thousand rubles, you get a real flagship, then mistaken.

What analogs can I see? Once again, I will praise, for me it is until the favorite of the World of Android-Smartphones, I really liked it. Alternatively, you can pay attention to ZTE Nubia Z11 Max, but there is a weaker processor. Huawei Mate 8 is higher than the price, but more screen, you can also pay attention.

For the provided smartphone Xiaomi Mi5s Plus, thank you the most friendly shop of Gadgets Biggeek.
