5 reasons why Xiaomi Mi5 is better than Samsung Galaxy S7

1. Xiaomi Mi5 is better in Camera

It is understandable that it has been controversial when comparing Xiaomi Mi5 camera vs that of Samsung Galaxy S7. I am not saying that the 16MP resolution on Xiaomi is better than the 12MP resolution on S7, as Samsung is pretty famous for their high-end camera feature. However, Xiaomi Mi5 camera does come along with several other features that can beat up its opponent. This is the first thing that Xiaomi Mi5 is better than S7.

First of all, the rear aperture of Xiaomi Mi5 camera is higher than that of Galaxy S7 (F2.0 VS F1.7), which ensures better light exposure and enhanced depth of the pictures taken. Secondly, let’s take a look at the glass cover the 2 companies picked. Xiaomi chose real sapphire for their Mi5 lens cover. Meanwhile, Samsung only used ordinary glass for Galaxy S7. This mean the lens of our Chinese smarpthone is better taken care of and less possible to be broken during your usage. Next, seems like Xiaomi Mi5 has better camera color reproduction. The conclusion has been come up with according to different user reviews. When considering real pictures take by both mobiles, we find Xiaomi Mi5 on the winning side. Last but not least, Xiaomi Mi5 is featured with dual LED Flash, while Galaxy S7 only sports a single one. This makes night time photo experience on Mi5 better than the other.

2. Dual SIM VS Single SIM

The next thing that Xiaomi Mi5 is better is that it has dual SIM card slots, while Galaxy S7 only offers 1 SIM. I don’t think we need to talk much about the advantages of a dual SIM smartphone compared to a single one. So if you need a mobile that can support in your business, work, or simply prefer separating your contact lists, you know which between the 2 is a better fit for you already. This feature is also very typical of the 2 brands in general: most Xiaomi smartphones can be found with dual SIM support, while only a few selected device from Samsung offer that.

3. Bigger internal storage

With the fact that bigger internal storage is more preferable than smaller one, Xiaomi Mi5 is better than S7 in one more point. Let’s start this aspect by mentioning clearly: Samsung Galaxy S7 offers microSD card slot, while Xiaomi Mi5 doesn’t. This means you have to depend on and only on the Mi5’s original ROM for your storage. Fortunately, Xiaomi Mi5 comes with 128GB built-in memory, which is huge enough even for a hardcore user. At the same time, Samsung Galaxy S7 is shipped with 2 different variants: either 32 or 64GB. Even though it comes with microSD card, the original capacity is always highly appreciated.

4. Xiaomi Mi5 is better in Battery life

Although both Mi5 and S7 batteries feature 3,000 mAH capacity, real tests have proven that the Xiaomi smartphone does have longer battery life: 92 hours of work compared to 80 hours. Moreover, the Mi5 comes with Quick Charge 3.0, which gets the cell up to 83% after 30 minutes of charge. Meanwhile, Galaxy S7 is backed by Quick Charge 2.0, making it only 60% ready after the same time. If you are a busy user, then this saves you a lot of time waiting for your mobile to get full as Xiaomi Mi5 is better in terms of battery.

5. Xiaomi Mi5 is better in Maximum Volume

Another advantage we find of the Mi5 is its loud volume. It has been said that the maximum volume of Mi5 in headphone mode is better and louder than Galaxy S7 volume. This small feature comes along with a bunch of benefits: you have better music enjoyment, more comfortable when trying to “be antisocial”, easier for communicate in public and noisy places, like on a crowded street or so, in case you need to make phone calls.

Above are 5 features we found that Xiaomi Mi5 is clearly doing better than its counterpart, though both phones are very good choices among the beasts we are having right now. This is not to mention that the Mi5 price is also considerably cheaper than S7 price: $400 VS $560 as international pricing.
