Hugo Barra Leaving Xiaomi and Returning to Silicon Valley Next Month

[DeepIn2U]

Here is what I found on the matter.

This sounds awefully too similar to a movie about a smart glades designer creating virtual clone of his best buddies girl while his girl screws her yiga teacher. Funny the U.K. For the movie was sick and Apple like.

I don't know where Xiaomi headquarter located. But if it is in a major Chinese city, then he just need one reason to leave: health concern.
There are few cities in China free from raining sand, dust and ashes.

.....how forcibly snapping things in half is considered a valid real world usage test.

To be fair, a lot of people sit on their back-pocketed phones, which does pretty much the same to a phone as what's shown in that YouTube clip. The Xiaomi Mi5 apparently lacks dual internal bracing, making it structurally weaker.

Yeah, sure

Is that the bendable iPhone 6 series?

Wait, isn't that video by the same guy who got famous for bending an iPhone 6?

Hey guys: we can admit that some other phones have terrible build quality. It's neither a pro-Apple nor an anti-Apple statement. It just goes to show what your money buys, which is partly why Xiaomi devices are so cheap for the high hardware specifications they boast.

Inexpensive phones are what are needed / desired by millions of people.

The MI-5 comes standard with 32GB + 3GB RAM, nice display and camera, and a case made of Gorilla Glass 4 front and back.

All for less than $300.

True, for another $200-300, you can get a similar smartphone with a better chassis. Many people may prefer to save that money and simply avoid bending their phone until it snaps. (I don't think his test reflects sitting on it.)
