Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus design and build quality
In the Mi 5s Plus, Xiaomi has made a few design details different from those of the Mi 5 presented at the Mobile World Congress 2016. Details such as: the camera and fingerprint sensor have been offset, and the back is now no longer made of glass but from brushed aluminum.
The numerous design changes will not be noticed by everyone, but anyone who already has had a Mi 5 will immediately recognize the change in design and craftsmanship. For example, the fingerprint sensor was moved from the front to the back of the device. This makes the Xiaomi 5s Plus more like a Huawei smartphone than a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
The similarity of the Mi 5s to the Huawei can also be noted in the material used for the housing. The back side is no longer made of Gorilla Glass but aluminum instead. At the same time, Xiaomi has made sure that almost the whole case has been milled from one block of aluminum. For the numerous antennas for GSM, NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, narrow plastic tapes have been inserted into the housing frame and two narrow zones on the upper and lower sections of the back side.
Overall, the craftsmanship of the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus is at a very high level and can compete with that of Samsung, Huawei and Google, as well. The volume rocker and the on and off button are fit onto the right edge of the smartphone and the dual SIM card slide is set on the left edge. Only a slight difference was noticeable between the color of the SIM card slide and the rest of the housing on our gold-colored Mi 5s Plus.
