The Mi 5 is a classic Android flagship in the sense that its primary selling point is its overwhelming spec sheet.
Xiaomi pairs Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 820 chipset with 4GB of UFS memory , the latest 16-megapixel camera sensor from Sony , and as much as 128GB of storage.
Xiaomi's Hugo Barra even dedicated a portion of the phone's presentation to highlight the Mi 5's "forehead" - the space above the display - which is smaller than on the Apple's iPhone or Samsung's Galaxy S flagships.
Xiaomi's Mi 5 falls right in line with the newly announced Galaxy S7 from Samsung and G5 from LG in having a very polished and refined design.
