Everything Specs
Xiaomi Mi 5s offers quality performance at this price but comes with few cons as well. The primary downside here is the absence of microSD slot. Luckily, there are two versions of this smartphone; one having 3 GB RAM and 64 GB ROM and the other with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM. Speaking of RAM and ROM, it’s important to mention the great hardware located here. AÂ Quad-core (2×2.15 GHz Kryo & 2×1.6 GHz Kryo) CPU coupled with Adreno 530 GPU will do wonders when it comes to gaming. The RAM amount is also more than enough, so no worries about performance.
The 12 MP camera here is more capable than you think. It has a possibility of recording 4K videos at 2160p. Although camera quality is debatable, for this price tag it’s more than excellent. On the front, there is 4 MP camera, which could’ve been doubled and a lot better; still, it’s great for Skype calls and selfies.

What i always liked about Xiaomi smartphones is their design, and here it's the same case. This phone has a strong quad-core CPU and 4 GB of RAM which work great for me. The camera could be a little better, but i don't use it that much so it isn't a downside.
