Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship with much fanfare at its Spring Conference in Beijing China. The phone comes with powerful specs, but the company has paid special attention to one particular area — its CAMERA. The 16MP sensor at the back will come with DTI technology which will reportedly help the sensor to utilize more light and reduce noise and blur. Further, the presence of 4-axis OIS helps in making sure that all the pictures turn out to be clear and crisp, even when you are taking a shot of an object in motion.

During the conference, Xiaomi didn’t waste any opportunity to compare its new flagship, the Mi 5 with Apple’s most recent handset, the iPhone 6S Plus. In terms of weight, dimensions, and even camera, the company tried to prove that the Mi 5 is better than the iPhone model.

In fact, in the conference, the company shared some samples of the Xiaomi Mi 5 directly compared with the same shot taken by the iPhone 6S Plus. In a couple of pictures, the Mi 5 does take pictures with better light as well as richer colors. So, there seems to be a visible improvement in the quality of pictures taken with the Mi 5, but we will reserve that judgement for later.

Meanwhile, you can check out these images. What do you think? Which ones better?
