Xiaomi Mi 5C
Perfect balance between performance and power consumption
Xiaomi Mi 5C is equipped with the first in-house made processor — Surge S1. It is an octa-core 64-bit high-performance chipset, exhibiting the highest frequency up to 2.2GHz. Its four cores are used for high-powered tasks and the other four for tasks that do not need full power — a power-saving algorithm that allows to adjust to different working scenarios, whether it is a heavy game processing or a long-term multitasking, and to use the smartphone much longer. Surge 1 offers a fresh and futureproof look at the chip performance. There is not much you can throw at this processor that it cannot handle, including big changes that every MIUI upgrade has to offer.
- CPU maximum frequency up to 2.2GHz
- GPU performance improved by 40%
- 3GB high-speed LPDDR3 memory
- 64GB large EMMC5.0 flash-memory
Elegance given by a thin metal body
You cannot help but comment on the slimness of Xiaomi Mi 5C. It is palm-friendly, the design many today are hankering after. It comes to the fore with its light weight body at 135 g and 7.09 mm thin sides, which iPhone 7 simply cannot bear. Xiaomi Mi 5C looks like a combination of all the premium-brand smartphones you ever wanted.
You do not pick the color, the color picks you
Xiaomi Mi 5C offers three different color choices. Will it be rose gold, gold or black smartphone that makes its way into your life?
Rose gold. You know that feeling in your chest when your phone is buried at the bottom of your purse and you cannot seem to find it? Rose gold will stand out and help you easily locate it.
Gold. Although it has been a while since a smartphone was considered a luxury item but with the gold coloring it gets the status back. Such a “date” will turn heads and get wowed.
Black. If you simply want the latest smartphone and make everyone know you have the greatest smartphone, a frosted black is a godsend. To top it off, it is timeless, reserved and does not collect fingerprints.
“Night eye” super-sensitive camera
Each Xiaomi smartphone provides a great shooting experience — something the company is constantly trying to achieve. You can always make images and videos look better by editing them afterwards but if the smartphone has poor camera hardware your editing skills will be put to a serious test. Xiaomi Mi 5C has advanced camera components that are world away from the innards offered by some premium smartphones. It has a 12MP lens, a large f/2.2 aperture for better lower light photos and dual noise reduction — all to perfect the image or video at the stage when it is born. No matter how much sun you get or not get, every picture will end up bright and crisp.
- 12MP camera
- 1.25μm pixel size
- every pixel gets 24% more light
150% improved camera sensibility
Taking lower-light shots with Xiaomi Mi 5C camera brings only joy. 14-bit dual-core ISP processing chip enhances its sensibility allowing you to have sharp photos even if you do not have an auxiliary light. You will also have as stunning colors at night as you would in bright outdoor conditions.
Dual noise reduction allows to see details not dust
Image noise makes your photos look unattractive. Xiaomi Mi 5C is a strong performer when it comes to taking smooth and vivid photos. Its double noise reduction technology helps to get rid of different types of noise and make photos richer in detail and color. Even in zoom the image does not degrade its quality.
8MP front camera offers advanced shooting opportunities
Xiaomi Mi 5C uses a 8MP front-facing lens and it offers the same array of tricks you can find in a flagship smartphone to make sure you get right pictures whether you are out for dinner at a nicely illuminated restaurant or in a dim-lit club.
Easy interaction with a bright 5.15″ display
Xiaomi Mi 5C screen is something to behold. It is a unique piece of engineering that has 8 times more brightness adjustment levels than any other smartphone to ensure you enjoy using it in any lighting environment. Like you witness multiple light intensity changes during the day the same way your screen shows 2048 different modes of brightness.
- 1920×1080 resolution
- 94.4% NTSC wide color gamut
- 550-nit brightness
Regain several hours of usage from 30 minutes of charging
Xiaomi fosters the idea that battery life can also be improved through other on-board hardware. And it works! Owing to an intelligent low-performance Surge S1 processor Xiaomi Mi 5C feels easy to fly past the day without giving you a though to use the charger.
A 1% battery charge is not that frightening anymore, suggesting that previously you needed to leave your phone for several hours to charge on its own. Fast charge technology (9V / 2A) allows your smartphone to be back on track right after you get out of shower or finish cooking dinner.
Sophisticated and simple-to-use MIUI 8
If you have had MIUI-based handset before, you will be in familiar territory here. Xiaomi Mi 5C comes stocked with MIUI 8 that boasts double space feature that lets you jump into another “desktop” with a different type of lock pattern. Separate your life and your work. Store important work files, contacts and necessary apps in another place, another “space”. Open apps twice, enjoy a beautiful lock screen images and get system upgrades as soon as they come out.
