While at Mobile World Congress 2016, the conferences of the major mobile manufacturers were completed for at least two days here as Xiaomi, usually absent from European exhibitions, conducting his first event on the Old Continent. Hugo Barra has shown an ambitious 5 Mi, who is not afraid to go play on the beds of the Samsung Galaxy and LG S7 G5.
Xiaomi is still not officially present on the ground smartphones, Europe – excluding shops specializing in imported mobile. Chinese brand, which claims to be number 1 in his home country, however, suggests a “global launch” it is careful to detail, and covers both the iPhone, with which it compares its Mi 5, and the most premium Android devices of the moment, the Samsung Galaxy and LG S7 G5. Here besides their technical characteristics face to face:

Xiaomi is safe, and does so through a point crucial: the Mi 5, even in its most expensive version, will be charged less than 400 euros. Its competitors, like LG, Samsung, betting on a launch price set at 699 euros. Some differences between them, but do we really regret, given the savings that Xiaomi promises to its competitors? The issue is needed.
From power … but different in different versions
in terms of internal features, the Mi 5 rises to the height of the G5 (and Galaxy S7 in its Asian version) since it embeds a SoC Snadragon 820. note, however, since the chip is slightly under-clocked (2.15 GHz to 1.8 GHz) in Mi 5 with 32 GB of storage and G4, which will result in poor performance. Note also that the two drafts have “only” 3 GB RAM LPDDR4 when the G5 and Galaxy S7 embark 4. It is therefore necessary to achieve a fully clocked Snapdragon 820 and as much RAM, turn to the Pro version of the Mi 5, the most expensive.
Some other points to note. When in photo, the Galaxy S7 offers a camera 12 megapixel Sony IMX260 signed, offering bigger photosites, and the G5 features a dual promising sensor, the Mi 5, he IMX218 has a 16 megapixel sensor always designed by Sony, which promises great results. On that point comparative in real conditions will prevail, but it is noted that the optical stabilization and video recording in 4K have become a standard in the high end.
the choice of Full HD
however, in terms of screens, the qHD is not entirely democratized, and we imagine a Full HD panel as the preferred Xiaomi for a resolution 428ppp on a diagonal of 5.15 inches, can limit the cost of Mi 5. Facing him, the G5 display as the Galaxy S7 will take advantage, even if the Chinese company promises excellent brightness adjusting to lighting conditions, but also a contrast of 1500: 1. At least we can note that the battery of 3000 mAh smartphone, coupled with this screen should produce good results.
a ceramic shell for the Pro edition
the rest of the Mi 5 and solid specifications difficulty in showing genuine originality. He has no removable modules such as the G5 is not waterproof, and its fingerprint sensor on the Home button clearly reminiscent of Samsung. It’s also not the only common point with the Korean smartphone, as the Mi 5 shares with the Galaxy S7 a glass back and curved, with a metal frame. In fact, the only element that distinguishes it from its competitors, it is the material from which the Pro version is designed. As some special editions of Chinese smartphones (Huawei P7 and OnePlus X Ceramic), it sports a ceramic shell that promises resistance to shocks and scratches.
With a price between 375 and 410 euros for its most advanced version, the Mi 5 provides good value, especially as Xiami seems to have particularly worked with Qualcomm to optimize its device. But at this rate, it will take to convince, the brand offers a version of its ROM adapted to the international market, especially its 4G frequency bands. Two points on which the Chinese firm remained silent.
