As an owner of mi5, this is not even funny. It just sucks how poor the durability is.

LG had a flexible phone
How did you end up bending it might I ask?
That’s crazy dude. Have you tried bending it back?
It’s truly is a wonder how the display assembly survived that
That’s why you buy http://www.luphiecase.com/xiaomi-mi-5-bumper-cases.html before you start using your Mi5.
No, Mi5 is powered by SD820.
It could be advertised as the most comfortable phone ever to use on your back pocket.
*Damn
“Bernd” is a typical German name. Kind of like “John” would be for Americans.
I think you’re right. Make a backup of your shit if you haven’t done so already
How is it battery not damaged? I’d be worried about the battery exploding…
Just a day after. Woke up in the morning and saw the phone like this
How did it get this bad without snapping? Must have been some slow bending to do all that
r/woosh
None at all
Does the 5s suffer from that issue too?
It’s ridiculous how the glass and LCD are fine. Welp, at least you have a unique phone!
Mine was twisted around both axis.
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? 😀
And I thought the design was the absolute limit to which Xiaomi would copy the iPhone!
5s is a lot heavier and has a metal back
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.
It is one of Mi5 weakness, as shown by JerryRigEverything on his bend test. Be very careful from the battery exploding.
This is /r/Xiaomemes material lol. Also, very subtle as I thought this was a new phone in the works lol.
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.
If that’s what it takes to get them to make a phone <6" again, I'll take it.
Remember the iPhone 6 bendgate? Mine is exactly like this lol
How on earth did the glass on the screen not crack or shatter?
I used MSVII case 🙁

new Mi Bend 5 leaked
Wow, Xiaomi beat Samsung to have the first foldable smartphone screen, did you get this feature with an update to MIUI 10?
goddammit take my upvote
Can’t believe Xiaomi copying the iPhone 6…
The most fragile phone I’ve ever used.
Call it “Mi 5 Bernd” and you have the German market secured 😀
Just jealous you don’t have a kickass bendy phone aren’t you?
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.
Only for Polish market.
Xiaomi Mi5 Flex 😮
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 🙁
I wince every time Zach bends phones, but I prefer that than my phone.
Also the subs made me giggle
Your ip6? I think I Need visual proof
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!
Hope I do
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 :/
Nope, i think the screen will crack
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.
Explain
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.
I just wanted to say that it still works perfectly 😀
That future sounds horrifying…
welp

Bloody hell that’s a hardcore bend. Are there zero touch issues?
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.
