Xiaomi is well known to ourdomestic users of mobile devices. Her gadgets are well-deserved popularity. The success of the Chinese brand is explained by the fact that the company sells its products practically at cost and does not try to make money on the label. Unlike the same "Samsung". And the brightest representative of smartphones of the average price level of the company is the Xiaomi Mi 5X. Its characteristics are such that it can easily leave behind all other middles from other manufacturers. Apparently, that's why users are so fond of Xiaomi products. In the meantime, a few words about the company itself.
His life began in2010. It was then that Chinese smartphone enthusiasts gathered, founded the company and started developing their own firmware. They started out of the box. The first smartphone came out a year later - in 2011. It began to enjoy such popularity that it was disassembled in moments.
About the company they started talking at home.After a while, Xiaomi released another device, which also won the hearts of Chinese users. Many of them called this manufacturer the number one company. Over time, Xiaomi's management decided that it's time to enter the European and Russian markets. Which was done. And now the company pleased its fans with the Xiaomi Mi 5X. The specifications and reviews about this device allow us to call it the first "camera phone" of the company.
The most interesting is that among all Chinesemanufacturers only Xiaomi did not tarnish itself with scandals related to industrial espionage, copying and other unseemly things. And it can not but rejoice. We can say that "Xiaomi" is a completely original producer with its own unique style.
Their devices, though a bit like productsknown brands, but they have some unique flavor. Therefore, the company will not be accused of thoughtless copying. Xiaomi is known as a manufacturer of quality, inexpensive and powerful smartphones. A smart representative is the smartphone Xiaomi Mi 5X. We'll look at its characteristics later, but for now, let's look at the appearance of the novelty.
From the front, the device resembles all devicesmiddle price segment. Most of the front panel is occupied by a large screen. Under it are conveniently located touch navigation buttons. Above the display there is a grid of conversational speaker, front camera, light and proximity sensors, as well as infrared.
But the rear panel immediately recallsthe appearance of the seventh iPhone. This similarity is inspired by the fact that the double camera is located exactly the same as in the device from the "Yabloko". But on this similarity ends. Under the camera (only closer to the middle) is a fingerprint scanner. There is nothing more on the back panel. In addition to the logo.
The volume control buttons are located on theside faces of the gadget. There is also a hybrid slot for SIM cards. It should be noted that the front panel is protected by an additional tempered glass Corning Gorilla Glass with a 2.5D effect. This makes the device more respectable. This is the appearance of Xiaomi Mi 5X. We will discuss the detailed characteristics of the hardware platform a bit later. In the meantime, consider the display.
So, which display was installed in the Xiaomi Mi 5X.The technical characteristics of the screen indicate that it is quite decent. Instead of the standard IPS matrix, advanced LTPS technology is used here. It allows you to get the same colors as in the Super AMOLED displays that are used in smartphones from Samsung. The truth is some care in cold tones. But it's okay, because you can even out the heat tone due to the settings.
The screen has a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, whichmeans Full HD. The density is decent. It is impossible to consider the pixels with the naked eye. The display has an anti-reflective coating. Oleophobic coating is also present. The maximum brightness is very high. Even with brute force. In any case, in direct sunlight, the information will remain readable. We can say that this is the best screen in the middle price segment. The company Xiaomi, as always, tried to glory. And now it's time to review the hardware platform.
Now let's move on to the hardware performanceplatform Xiaomi Mi 5X. The characteristics of the hardware are such that the gadget can run and adequately "pull" such demanding games as World of Tanks Blitz and Asphalt 8. This is facilitated by the 8-core 64-bit processor from Qualcomm with a clock frequency of 2 GHz. Also a serious role is played by 4 GB RAM. The graphics are answered by an advanced coprocessor from Adreno.
The shell works quickly, smoothly and clearly.Without problems, high-definition video is played. Built-in storage can be both 32 and 64 GB. Those who are not enough, can expand the memory by using a Micro SD memory card up to 256 GB. Also, the device has a very fast fingerprint scanner, support for LTE (4G) networks, high-speed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmitters, a necessary set of sensors, a GPS module and a noise cancellation microphone. Such an assortment of options is standard for smartphones of the middle price segment.
And now what makes the pride of Xiaomi Mi 5X.Specifications and camera review indicate that we have a natural "camera phone". The main one is represented by two 13-megapixel modules with a complex optical system. Both modules are wide-angle and high-speed. One of them is used to process the object that is closer, and the second is responsible for processing and blurring the background.
It is necessary to recognize that the images are obtainedexcellent. There are many manual settings that will help to feel like a real photographer. But the most valuable thing is the ability to save photos in RAW format. This is a sign of quality photomodules.
In conditions of insufficient lighting, the cameracopes with their work is not as good as we would like. But that's enough. In addition, the main camera can shoot videos in 4K format. What can I say about the banal Full HD? The front camera is not as advanced. It is equipped with a 5-megapixel module without a flash, but also wide-angle and high-speed. For selfi and communication on "Skype" it is quite suitable.
And what about the Xiaomi Mi 5X operating system?The characteristics of the software platform indicate that the gadget uses a fresh android with the proprietary MIUI shell. The sixth android is quite good, but after the engineers' elaboration of Xiaomi, it became even better.
The exterior looks like gadgets"Samsung" and "Apple." But everything works quickly and clearly. And the elements are arranged in a way that is more convenient for a particular user. In addition, the European version of the smartphone is devoid of any additional trash, which is usually impossible to remove. If you are the lucky owner of the Chinese version, then you have only one way out - to change the firmware to the European version.
There is one more advantage of this device. "Xiaomi" regularly updates the OS even on relatively old gadgets. Any user, therefore, always has the current firmware version.
And as the new smartphone is the case withautonomy? The phone has a removable Li-Ion battery pack with a capacity of 3080 mAh. It would seem that this is catastrophically small for Xiaomi Mi 5X. Characteristics and NFC quickly "eat" the whole charge.
And here not.The smartphone is able to work in the normal load mode for a full 2 days. Affects the optimization of the operating system and hardware platform of the device. This is a very good result for a modern smartphone. Let's hope that the company Xiaomi will continue in the same spirit and will not sacrifice autonomy for the sake of productivity.
So, we pass to the most interesting section aboutXiaomi Mi 5X. Features and photos we have already dismantled. It's time for feedback. What do users say about this gadget? The owners' comments are mostly supportive. Many are pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials and the reliability of the device.
Also, most users noteIncredible performance for a gadget of this level. But most of all laudatory odds went to the camera smartphone. She really deserves praise. Autonomy of the device also received many positive reviews. In general, almost all owners are happy with the purchase.
But most of all users liked the pricegadget. At first, many did not believe that such a device could be sold for pennies. However, there are those who are not particularly pleased with the gadget. These users do not give rest to any little things. For example, many of them complain that the novelty is not equipped with a metal casing. Also, many did not like the sound of the speaker. But all this is empty nit-picking. The main thing is that the device works quickly and clearly. And all these little things like the case material do not deserve any attention.
So, we reviewed the smartphone Xiaomi Mi 5X.Its characteristics allow attributing this device to the best representatives of the middle price segment. Most of the devices in this category, he is able to leave far behind. But the price is frankly budgetary. In general, all in the corporate style of "Xiaomi". The smartphone turned out elegant, productive, reliable and cheap. And this is precisely the qualities that are valued by potential buyers the most.
