The xiaomi mi5 borrows a lot of elements from its Mi Note series phone and this was confirmed by Barra as well. Xiaomi has refined the 3D glass curve design, making it way more rounded that seen on the Mi Note. The metal frame merges semlessly onto the glass back one the edges. The chamfering has a lot more slope.
In a word, the Mi5 looks elegant and with just around 7.25mm thickness and weighing around 129g, it is impressive how it has managed to have the camera flush with the plane of the body and included a 3000mah battery. There is a 3D ceramic variant as well.
