Xiaomi Mi5 vs Samsung Galaxy S7: Battle between 4GB-RAM-and-SD820-chip devices

They are all flagships of their companies, so no doubt they are equipped with gorgeous and premium designs. As a result, we would like to skip this part and dig deep into their excellent specifications. First of all, let’s see what Galaxy S7 (SD820 version) and Mi5 (the best variant) have in common. Obviously, these handsets are powerful 4GB RAM smartphones, sporting Quacomm Snapdragon 820 chips paired with Adreno 530 GPUs, 3,000mAh batteries, dual SIMs, fingerprint sensors built in their physical home buttons, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS (with different UIs on top, though).

As for differences, there are some significant points you need to know. Samsung Galaxy S7 specs include a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED Quad HD screen with special always-on display mode, 32/64GB ROM (expandable up to 200GB, yet the additional memory cannot be used for apps or games), a combo of 12MP rear/5MP front camera, Quick Charge 2.0 tech (60% in 30 minutes), and IP68 rating for being dust and water resistant (over 1.5 meters and 30 minutes). Meanwhile, Xiaomi Mi5 specs contain a quite similar 5.15-inch screen size but with just IPS LCD Full HD display and no always-on mode. Besides, Mi5 also does not boast IP68 and microSD card slot to expand its internal storage and IP68. Well, at the moment you may think Xiaomi Mi5 has been totally defeated, but wait. Xiaomi Mi5 has what Galaxy S7 doesn’t have.

Specifically, Xiaomi’s beast’s got huge ROM capacity – 128GB for whatever app or game, a great 16MP main shooter, Quick Charge 3.0 (83% in 30 minutes), and a USD Type-C 1.0 port.
