Snapdragon 821, 3GB RAM, 64GB storage

Xiaomi Mi5S  launched just recently and it is one of the first available Snapdragon 821 based products. It is available today in a 64GB version for $335.99.

The phone is as high end as you can imagine as it has a decent 12.0-megapixel rear camera with PDAF and dual-tone flash, a 4.0-megapixel front camera with f/2.0 aperture and the fastest SoC available to date. Xiaomi, in cooperation with Gearbest, is offering this phone for roughly half of what Google asks for the Pixel phone. There is also a 4GB RAM and 128GB version that is selling for close to $500.

The Xiaomi Mi 5S has a 5.15 inch, 1920 x 1080 FHD screen, very eye pleasing design and it should be able to compete well with some heavyweights, including the Galaxy S7 and similar phones. The fact that this a 3GB RAM and 64GB phone with the latest and greatest Snapdragon 821, Snapdragon X12 with 600 Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload capable modem, the price of US $335.99 sounds like a great deal. We do like the fact that you don't need to break the bank to get a Xiaomi high-end phone and the deal got even better since we got a new code for you. If you use "MI5SFCUPON" the price will drop to $321.99 and it should work until November 30th. 

Xiaomi has been very aggressive this year and just Gearbest is selling as many as 82 different SKUs that are spread from below $100 for an entry-level and older model to close to $500 for some high-end models.

Back in August we reviewed the Xiaomi Mi5 and proved that this is a great phone, the successor should be even better, and on average at least 10 percent faster in both CPU and GPU intensive tasks.
