Design

The Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus design is quite different from the original Mi 5 and the recently launched Mi 5s. It’s not just a Mi 5 stretched to fit the bigger 5.7″ display, as Xiaomi chose a unique look for its Plus size flagship phone.

The Mi 5s Plus has an aluminum unibody like the Mi 5s but the rest is different. The Plus model features a robust flat frame, whirounded corners around the perfectly flat screen glass and a slightly curved back with two very thin bevels.

The metal back has a very comfortable and good looking brushed texture. The Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus is well built and designed and manufactured with attention to details. It is reasonably sized given the large screen, and fits well in a hand.

Under the dual camera you can see the fingerprint scanner, which is really fast and responsive.

Hardware

The Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus is equipped the latest Snapdragon 821 chipset with 4GB of RAM or 6GB RAM. The Snapdragon 821 SoC has higher performance and better power efficiency than 820 chip. It features a powerful quad-core Kryo processor with two cores at 2.34GHz and two at 2.19GHz. This chipset comes with Adreno 530 GPU that has a frequency of 652MHz.

Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus is one of the first phones to use the latest performing chipset by Qualcomm, and Snapdragon 821 has really good performances near – and sometimes depending on the benchmark used superior to – Galaxy S7, Sony Experia XZ, OnePlus 3, Huawei P9.

Camera

The Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus features a dual camera, combining two 13 MP cameras on the back – both with Sony IMX258 sensor with f/2.2 aperture- , that can work like the ones on the Huawei P9. One camera captures color images and the other captures only black and white images. The monochrome sensor can collect much more light producing more detailed images with less noise, perfect for low light conditions, where you can shoot detailed and sharp pictures. You can either capture pure black and white images or color images. There is also a stereo mode where the camera combines the output of both sensors to enhance the final color photo, but it can’t be used for bokeh effects. This phone features a two-tone dual-LED flash.

The camera module supports HDR, PDAF, RAW format and real time image filters.

You can also record 4K Videos with resolutions 2160p@30fps with 42Mbps bitrate or 1080p@30fps for common shooting with a 720p @ 120fps option for slow-motion effects.
