Black phone case on black sofa in a dark room. Beer in hand. Volleyball world cup final. Sitting excited on the sofa, smashed my knee in the back of the Phone 🙁
How on earth did the glass on the screen not crack or shatter?
It could be advertised as the most comfortable phone ever to use on your back pocket.
The QC on Xiaomi devices is awful man!
I love their offerings (or used to, at least) but man!
Two out of three units have issues :/
And I thought the design was the absolute limit to which Xiaomi would copy the iPhone!
Bloody hell that’s a hardcore bend. Are there zero touch issues?

Bent just above the battery. I hoped that with the back off it will be possible to change the battery, but it is now securely locked in place by the bent plastic.
Wow, Xiaomi beat Samsung to have the first foldable smartphone screen, did you get this feature with an update to MIUI 10?
the back of my mi5 unglued a bit because i used it on a bluetooth controller with those clips to hold the phone.
Note: i was using a case
sadly, the Mi5 is a great phone with bad build quality.
That’s crazy dude. Have you tried bending it back?
If that’s what it takes to get them to make a phone <6" again, I'll take it.
I used MSVII case 🙁
new Mi Bend 5 leaked

Does the 5s suffer from that issue too?
I wince every time Zach bends phones, but I prefer that than my phone.
Also the subs made me giggle
Lol I looked at the gif and was like “no xiaomi… Wtf are you doing? This is pointless!!” but then read the context.
Hope it keeps working for you!
No, Mi5 is powered by SD820.
As an owner of mi5, this is not even funny. It just sucks how poor the durability is.
Can’t believe Xiaomi copying the iPhone 6…
Can’t believe? Expected tbh.
Accidentaly bent my Xiaomi Mi5, everything works fine. Even display is ok and unbroken. Only the back of the Phone unglued itself. Is Xiaomi the first brand to develop flexible smartphone? 😀
How did you end up bending it might I ask?
Just a day after. Woke up in the morning and saw the phone like this
None at all
Call it “Mi 5 Bernd” and you have the German market secured 😀
“Bernd” is a typical German name. Kind of like “John” would be for Americans.
That’s why you buy http://www.luphiecase.com/xiaomi-mi-5-bumper-cases.html before you start using your Mi5.
I think you’re right. Make a backup of your shit if you haven’t done so already
Explain
Nope, it was an accident. I smashed it with my knee in the back on soft sofa. I think the sofa is the only reason it still lives. I also had a protective glass on the screen, but it was totally destroyed.
How did it get this bad without snapping? Must have been some slow bending to do all that
How is it battery not damaged? I’d be worried about the battery exploding…
*Damn
It’s ridiculous how the glass and LCD are fine. Welp, at least you have a unique phone!
Xiaomi Mi5 Flex 😮
The most fragile phone I’ve ever used.
r/woosh
Nope, i think the screen will crack
That future sounds horrifying…
Mine was twisted around both axis.
I’m not surprised, the Mi 5 failed JerryRigEverthing bend test 2 years ago.
Perfect practical example proving how his videos are in fact useful for people planning to buy a phone. If a phone catastrophically fail the bend test just like the Mi 5 that means you’re more likely to have this happen to you sitting on your by accident or something. Hopefully Xiaomi build way more durable phones today. The pocophone passed brilliantly passed his bend test.
Only for Polish market.
Actually bend my mi A1 but the screen did crak, it was mostly working afterwards though. Only the usual problems with it with regards to sound.
It’s truly is a wonder how the display assembly survived that
Your ip6? I think I Need visual proof
A coworker did the same, thus not as much bended as yours,by keeping his phone in his pocket while ridding some rollercoasters. He is using like that for months with no issue.

LG had a flexible phone
goddammit take my upvote
It is one of Mi5 weakness, as shown by JerryRigEverything on his bend test. Be very careful from the battery exploding.
I just wanted to say that it still works perfectly 😀
This is /r/Xiaomemes material lol. Also, very subtle as I thought this was a new phone in the works lol.
5s is a lot heavier and has a metal back
Remember the iPhone 6 bendgate? Mine is exactly like this lol
Just jealous you don’t have a kickass bendy phone aren’t you?
Hope I do
