Xiaomi has been consistent in launching new devices in the market almost every month now. These not only include all new products but also many upgraded versions of the previous models. The Xiaomi Mi5 was one of the first phone lot that was launched by the company this year. Then a couple of months earlier the phone was joined by its upgraded version – the Mi5s. The Mi5s didn’t come alone and was accompanied by a much bigger version, the Mi5s Plus, that sported a dual camera setup.
