Xiaomi Mi 5X _ Mi A1 Unboxing And Hands-On Review (English)

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso back it with another Xiaomi mobilephone this is the me 5x it's just comeout and this one here is an interestingone because they're using a snapdragon625 in there and I was really hopingfor the Snapdragon 630 at least in thisbuild here so it's got a 5.5 inch 1080pscreen on there dual cameras on the rearboth of them a 12 megapixels and a 3000milliamp hour battery so that is smallerthan what I would have thought I washoping for maybe four thousand milliamphours now the Snapdragon 65 is anefficient chipset so battery life onthis should still be good even thoughit's only 3000 milliamp hours and on thered is a fingerprint reader andapparently they do have a high qualityaudio deck in this so it has fourgigabytes of RAM and it's got dual SIMand I think it also supports microSDcards on there which will be greatbecause it's not a flagship theflagships xiaomi always drops the microSD cards don't they type C port and afront facing five megapixel camera okayso there is our box here typical shellme box and this is the 64 gigabyteversion and it is still factory sealedwhich is great so there's no global ROMversion of this just yet I think that'llcome out later or perhaps we'll have toflash over the global ROM on this sothere's the phone I'll put that asidefor a second have a look at what'sinside the boxokay there's see you changed things alittle bit here so they've got thesensor on the bottom and then insidethis I think here we have the type-ccable and white and where is the chargerthere is right at the bottom and thenthe charger this is very small and thereason that charge is so small isbecause it's onlyto five volts two amps so not a quickcharge three charger but you should beable to just use one a third party oneand it will hopefully were building thatout later on and then an instructionleaflet which is all in Chinese but Ijust noticed too that it points out howthe arrangement is on the SIM tray soit's either two nano Sims micro SD cardand another nano SIM so to check theweight of it 164 grams and a very thin7.5 millimeters and that's without thecamera bulbs the camera bulge and alittle bit more comes in at 8.2 almostso very thin so this is why we've lostsome of that battery capacity becauseI've slimmed it down personally I wouldrather have a 4000 min out our batteryand it been a millimeter thicker so onthe rear there's always these stickershere that sell I am II I number it'sgoing to pull that off and not exposethat to the world and on the front thereis a screen protector on there but thisis just one that's for transit to stopthe screen being scratched and in thefactory to so they're looking at therear of the 5x we have a dual camera setup so the one on the right the center onthe right you can see is with opticalzoom larger lens on there which is twotimes optical zoom then the one on theleft doesn't have that zoom on there atall now there's no optical imagestabilization or digital I believe onthis phone which is rather disappointingpersonally I would rather have just theone center of optical imagestabilization but with these two sensorsyou can do those fancy bouquet effectsso you can get a blurred background anddo those portrait shots that seem to bequite popular and very popular in Chinaapparently below that the fingerprintreader which looks like the same highwaythat we see on the redmi series now justalong the top you'll see the antennaline is blending in with the curvatureof the rear housing here so they've donea nice job of that now the paint job onthe back is made out of a matte blackand it looks like it is going to showfingerprints really easy along the topand IR transmitter and secondarymicrophone for noise cancellationand for use in video and then along thebottom 3.5 millimeter headphone jack nothey haven't done anything silly yet byremoving this which is great to seemicrophone talk screw type C portanother talk screw and then theloudspeaker on the right side metalvolume and power buttons they've got areal good feel to them they feel likequality and shaking the phone thesebuttons do not rattle either which isgood front facing five megapixel cameraearpiece and then our sim tray herewhich will take either a micro SD cardand nano SIM or dual nano Sims now itdoesn't support European bands xxunfortunately this phone we're going tohave to wait for an international modelif they ever do release it that is ofthis 5x so the phone feels great in handvery good I like the access to thebuttons on the side there but you willnotice one thing that just handling itnow for only a minute or two look at allthose fingerprints smudges all over theplace so it's not going to stay lookingpristine for very long as it Oh get thispowered up now we'll go through thesetup very quickly ok so that took about20 seconds to get to this point herewhich is your typical me UI 8 setup menuso hang on isn't it supposed to have meUI 9 that's still in beta but it'scoming and it should be pushed out tothis phone apparently first we're goingto have to wait for that now this is theChinese ROM so there is no Europeanlanguages and other language support ondoes you have to wait for the globalversion for that which should be comingout from any UI comm hopefully within amonth or two is normally how long theytake you so I'm just going to skip thisgo through it as quick as possibleI will set up a fingerprint and youfirst need to put in a PIN number ofcourse ok that's just the keyboard a bitof a pain so I think it's that I need togo in tonight I want the right engine sothis can be a little bit annoying and onthe global ROM you will not have thisissue of course because they useGoogle's G board the Google keyboard soset up a pin and now to add myfingerprint so we have to use my otherhand so I can hear that haptic feedbackmotor buzzing away it's quite loud ok sothat's done go through this and thedefault theme and we're done that's nottoo longokay that screen looks a little bitwashed out first impressions maybethat's because of the brightness settingand it's going to lock it now and have alook at these fingerprint unlocking okthat was basically instant maybe had a 1second delay but that's very quickthat's good so we're going to have thetypical bloatware on here that youliterally always get with the chamoisphone so they've got a few Chineseapplications on here that aren'trelevant again in the global ROM versionthat is when you can flash the globalROM or you can buy a version with theglobal ROM you won't get all those appswhich are all these apps here look atthem or these most of them don't act Ithink pretty much all of those ones canbe uninstalled by simply just holdingdown and then removing them or you cango through the settings menu and Adamstill all those alright so looking backat the screen now change the wallpaper Ithink was the wallpaper that made thescreen look washed out my firstimpression when I first saw it dead nowlooks a lot better and you notice thatthese green brightness is very bright onthe brightness setting there and then itdulls down super dim that you can hardlyeven make out the icons and that isideal that's really what we should haveon every single phone out there thatmeans if you use it at night you candull that right down there ever is ofcourse in the setting menu here anoption to turn on that night readingkind of mode so it removes that bluelight and that shouldn't keep you awakeat night or so they say anyway so justtick to see if there were any wirelessupdates and thereas one here this one fixes and addressesproblems with the wireless disconnectingso that is good I'll have to apply thatshortly and that's the firmware you cansee so it's version eight point fivepoint eight and apparent that's thestable build of course and sitting twomegabyte download I will do that in justa second but we'll have a look at nowand the settings you can see that it isfour gigabytes of RAM of course asmentioned and the Android version is thelatest so it's seven point one point twowhich is good to see and the patch levelis from June ok so what this menu hereis is the version information you canbring this out by just tapping on thekernel version inside the settings youkeep tapping that and then you get tothis menu and then select number one andhere we are so what this does is tell usthe hardware components that Xiaomi hasused on this so we can see here that thefront camera is a Samsung and the LCDpanel and the emmc and the RAM as wellboth Samsung products although can yousee something unusual here some somesome some Samsung Samsung what's goingon why does that not say Samsung is thisa clone product from China of Samsungprobably not it must just be any areahere I hope so the front camera Samsungsensor 5 megapixels the two rear onesare from ovie now we're not the sony IMXsensors that i thought we were going tohave on here so that's interesting tosee so you can see the accelerometergyroscope and then just a few other ofthe hardware components there so downthe bottom we do have hardware menu keyswhich is great to see i'm not a huge fanof on-screen navigation keys if we'vegot this basic course it down the bottomthe nav keys they are backlit as you cansee which is great they light out andyou can barely see them when the lightisn't on and that turns off only justafter a few seconds they're so freeavailable space we get on the emc isfifty four point three gigabytes andhere is the end to to score so 63,000that's approximately more or less whatthehey Leo p25 gets but the Snapdragon 625is much more efficient so being aChinese ROM it does not have Play Storeinstalled but it's quite easy to installyou have to do is just move over andextract some folders into the backupfile on the phone and then restore thatand that will give you play servicescontact sync and everything seems toworking so far I haven't had anyproblems with it and that's how I wasable to install the antutu benchmarkthat sounds reasonably good it's quiteloud there's a hint of bass and they'renot a bad loud speaker it's a shame thatthey haven't opted also like them me 6to include a little loudspeaker and theearpiece that means we get dual but it'snot actually too bad for a singleloudspeaker solution now I don't knowabout you but I'm keen to check out thecamera on this since we've got dualcameras we can do those fancy bokehblurred backgrounds and we've got twotimes optical zoom but I've alreadyfound out that both of the sensors areovie sensors they're not Sony AMXbranded ones which is a little bit of ashame okay they're just telling us aboutthe portrait mode so just like the me 6that I have if you tap here you go intothe optical two times and I can see thecolor is kind of shifted then a littlebit so shutter 8 here should be prettymuch instant and it is me I'm understudio lives here baking cooking myselfunder studio lights I should add so thisis all straightforward just like all theme your iPhone's the same settings hereyou got manual options but we have alook and see what they give us so we'vegot white balance focus exposure timeISO and then you can opt and choosewhich lens you want now we might not beable to look use both of these for videobecause we couldn't with the me6 butI'll have a look now in modes and seewhat other settings we've got here I gojust the typical add watermarks I'll goover into the video mode now so you swapover into video mode and so slow-mo isbasically useless on these Shelby's Idon't like it at all it's not good andthey don't even have 60 frames persecond so the focus mode here iscontinual auto focus or tap to focus ofcourse so we've got 4k option and I'lltest out continual auto focus there sono electronic image stabilization ordigital options no so no electronicwhich is a shame but you know this is apriced around at the moment around 250yes us so that's what you can't expectso take a few snaps and show you somesamples of just what therecamera and the front camera can do onthe me 5x so this is the rear camera in4k the continual autofocus enabled andyou can see that typical problem we getwith the xiaomi mobile and that is thatthe focus will pulse and an hour all thetime and it's doing it pretty bad soit's disappointing to see seems to havea little bit of trouble focusing andthere is no option to switch to the 2 xoptical sensor at all this is now theflat facing camera the audio seems to bea little bit muffled and funny I firsttested this and it's only in 720p as youcan see so the quality is that thegreatest like the flagship that canshoot up to 1080p or even for 10 thefront camera but the quality overallseems to be why versus with my firstimpression hereyouOhso that may fallsomewhere between the note 4 and the 4xand then the show me mean 6 but do wereally even need this model I mean comeon seriously think about it if you wanta very decent dual camera arrangementyou want to have the 2 times opticalzoom and you want a better sensor thenyou would go for the me 6 it's aflagship and cost about 80 us more you'dsave your cash get that model insteadand if you wanted battery life thenyou'd go for the redmi note 4 and thenote 4 x-series so this is somewheresomething in between that charm istrying to create here that I feel wedon't actually really need because okthe build is great it's really well puttogether a nice 1080p screen but therear cameras aren't really adding a lotthe quality of them at the moment seemsquite average and low light they do lookdisappointing we don't have optical orelectronic image stabilization and thenthe battery life has been reduced fromother models we only got 3000 out hourshere and why do we not have a Snapdragon630 that is the latest Qualcomm chipsetwe still have the 625 and then it evencould have put the 6 to 6 in there to bea little bit different so really I'mholding out for a Snapdragon 630 mobile660 mobile and hopefully we're going tosee something like that before the endof the year so we'll be back with a fullreview of this one here I'll be testingout the battery life gaming performancemore benchmarks Wireless GPS and ofcourse it is a mobile phone so we'llmake some calls on it to check out thecall quality and it will chest out thatdeck on there to see if it has improvedthe 3.5 millimeter audio as well theloudspeaker seems quite good there are alot of positives with this mobile I meanit doesn't have me ui9 gifts but thatwe're coming soon so I do have to catchyou back with the full review of thismobile if you do have any questionsplease let me know in the comments and Iwill try to answer them thank you somuch for watching bye for now\n"
