Overall speed - Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review

Would you say that the Xiaomi Mi 5 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Xiaomi Mi 5 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

The speed fluctuates, sometimes is ok, sometimes just lag like hell. not sure if it related to MIUI.

When its cool - phone delivers very fluid experience but once it overheats it can become pretty choppy.

Processing speed is fast . Its take few second to switch on the phone.

i didnt get stable performance during 6 month using this device
i use MIUI 8 8.0.20 Global stable rom

Very fast!

fast as the light
not faster than mi5s

with custom roms is very good.

great performance on the device

Xiaomi performs really well. Snapdragon 820 is an assurance!
To improve it you can try to install tweaks or a custom kernel.

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the OnePlus 2 stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

Heats while gaming and then it throttles. Phone itself doesn't get much hot but the metal frame can get uncomfortable

using a case solved this problem for me....
Heat is not an issue for me even when stressing the OP2 with mild gaming. It feels about as cool as my 6P in normal use.
No issue regarding heat for me. I can only get my phone slightly warm if i repeat geekbench over and over for 15 minutes

It gets hot as much as any other phone I have tested. The aluminium frame gets quite warm when gamming or any intensive cpu activity, but it's not a big issue.
Heat is an issue every time I reboot
Latest update 2.1.2 improved Op2 alot. earlier when I used to play NFS no limits on stock kernal temp raised upto 43 but now after update it hardly cross 41 degree. so heat management is improved alot. :good:
Great work OP team keep pushing updates :highfive:
I am also very happy with the new update 2.1.2. I am using AK kernel though, so I can't say how it works with stock... but can't complain about the heat issue.
When using cardboard phone gets to 50+ degrees
Heating is normal comparing to other phones..
Got a bit too warm but it's acceptable
heat
no problem for me. haven't exceeded high 90's F. i am not a gamer.
I've never had an issue with heat here

I'm on OxygenOS 2.2.0 and it works great.. it gets a little bit warm while playings havy games but it is cooler than my Nexus 4 or my sister's OnePlus One.. so it's ok for me!
Aggressive throttling
My note 3 was the only phone I have ever had heat issues with
I've had less heating issues on the oneplus 2 than the oneplus one
In all honesty I haven't had a problem with heat and my oneplus 2. Yes, it DOES get hotter than other phones, but not even close to uncomfortably hot. I am perfectly fine playing High Definition 3D games on my OPT
It got really uncomfortable playing high GPU/CPU intensive games. I had to quit gaming on mobile. Normal usage is fine.

Phone doesn't heat much, hovewer on the upper side you can definitely notice a lot higher temperature i.e. during playing heavy games
In my last use of MIUI 8.0.1.0 Global Stable, I have heat issues.
So bad, it felt like burning from inside. Switched to CM 13 (Now at CM 14), heat is minimum when playing heavy games.
I think it is about how bad MIUI optimization, or maybe MIUI 8 didn't mature enough at that time.
It gets hot charging and using wifi gaming at the same time
Hi all,
I'm using CM 13, and playing Real Racing 3, it gets extremely hot, not only the top, all the smartphone, it's really uncomfortable.
Do you think that updating to CM 14 the problem will solve?
Because it also starts slowing the image and the game jumps.
Best regards

My Mi 5 running unofficial lineage 14.1 by shade.sh and brand kernel does not heat up often. When it does occasionally heat up due to very intensive apps, its is very bearable and not too hot IMO. I am however using a thin rubber case and that may be the reason why I do not feel it being as hot as you described!
Thanks for the answer, yesterday night I changed to CM 14.1 and using RR3 it gets worm but not as hot as with CM 13.1
Regards
cool
Remember its just a computer with a "phone function". It does get warm under heavy load. But only when i really run games for at least 20min. And it may get hot if you install a new rom and tons of apps in a short period. Usually its cool (running official lineageos 14.1).
I have Lineage OS 14.1 Overclocked with dragonxia kernel and it doesn't heats too much while playing asphalt 8
Im on the newest LOS and the device gets really warm on the upper side when you charge it and use skype at the same time (thats probably because skype eats the battery really fast)
I have come from LG Flex 2 to Xiaomi Mi5. Believe me nobody knows what baking really is while using your phone! Cherry on the cake, my LG actually fried in its last days, as per the phone repair people. Now it just keeps restarting every now and then.. . Fully satisfied with the Xiaomi Mi5 temperatures while playing online games like 8ball and CoC. The LG used to heat up in our city temperature of around 30 degrees within 15-20 minutes. In AC it was better, around half an hour.
But Xiaomi Mi5 gives me a respectable 40-50 minute game before slightly heating up. And that heating too is completely tolerable, when compared to Flex2 !!
With almost 2 hours of gaming and other office work, I get 5h15m plus screen on time as well
Oh yes, I have found this out, the Motorola QC-3.0 charger which came with my sister's MotoG4 heats up my phone VERY MUCH!
And when compared, the Mi5 original QC-3.0 charger does not heat up the phone THAT much. I have seen voltage differences but the Moto charger has lower voltages and that should practically not heat up my phone a lot. I use the Moto charger at office and the Mi charger at home, both in AC rooms.
Heating to much... And when the phone heats up, it starts to slow down... (8.5.2 eu stable)

Which rom are you using?
Enviado do meu MI 5s através de Tapatalk
heating doesn't seem to be an issue, unless you're playing grafics demanding games... overall it's acceptable
playing Implosion - Never Lose Hope for about 2hours on highest settings didn't feel any heat at all...
it just lukewarm..... SystemPanel2 reported temp around 40C - 41C only....
The snapdragon 821 in known to thermal throttle. That fact is the same with this device. When the device is at room temperature, performance is great but as it approaches 35-40 Celsius, performance decreases noticeably in order to reduce heat. Overall, it is equal to what you could expect of any device using a snapdragon 821.
Yes, the only problem I got so far is the heat. It's above average but not the most.
Yep, i feel that the heat also i didn't push harder the device yet, just internet and a few app.
Mine would heat up quite a bit before but then I used some thermal paste, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, on the cpu and gpu and it seems to fair a lot better now. Running PUBG for a while it doesn't go beyond about 52 and averages around 48.

app launch speeds are great, no issues
Apps launch instantly... nothing to criticize there.
I hope honor used ufs for even more speeds.

Blazingly fast...
Very fast. Zero lags.
Apps are run fantastic no lag / bug / glitch no problem and issues!
VERY fast app launch speed. The Honor 9 kills it in this area.

device tents to become a little warm when using the camera, no other issues
Doesn't heat much unlike honor 8.
I read a few reviews saying that it heats a lot even during normal use (browsing, downloading apps...). I also read Huawei was supposed to push an update to fix that problem. Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
Seeing as the Honor 9 has a glass and metal sandwich construction. It's quite normal for it to get quite hot when it's being used heavily.
Doesn't heat that much..
No significant heat at all.
It gets hot on heavy using. In place where honor logo on back is
The temperature on charge and use is okay is normally.
On no Charge and use is normally againg no problem.
This depends on how you use your device. I have not experience much heat on my Honor 9, but I don't use it as much for gaming.
