Can’t believe Xiaomi copying the iPhone 6…
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 did it get this bad without snapping? Must have been some slow bending to do all that

LG had a flexible phone
And I thought the design was the absolute limit to which Xiaomi would copy the iPhone!
Only for Polish market.
It could be advertised as the most comfortable phone ever to use on your back pocket.
Xiaomi Mi5 Flex 😮
Call it “Mi 5 Bernd” and you have the German market secured 😀
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? 😀
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!
How is it battery not damaged? I’d be worried about the battery exploding…
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 you end up bending it might I ask?
It is one of Mi5 weakness, as shown by JerryRigEverything on his bend test. Be very careful from the battery exploding.
I think you’re right. Make a backup of your shit if you haven’t done so already
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.
Can’t believe? Expected tbh.
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.

Wow, Xiaomi beat Samsung to have the first foldable smartphone screen, did you get this feature with an update to MIUI 10?
Remember the iPhone 6 bendgate? Mine is exactly like this lol
That’s crazy dude. Have you tried bending it back?
Just a day after. Woke up in the morning and saw the phone like this
None at all
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.
welp
Your ip6? I think I Need visual proof
5s is a lot heavier and has a metal back
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.
I wince every time Zach bends phones, but I prefer that than my phone.
Also the subs made me giggle
Explain
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.
Does the 5s suffer from that issue too?
Just jealous you don’t have a kickass bendy phone aren’t you?
That’s why you buy http://www.luphiecase.com/xiaomi-mi-5-bumper-cases.html before you start using your Mi5.
Bloody hell that’s a hardcore bend. Are there zero touch issues?
That future sounds horrifying…
*Damn
Hope I do
new Mi Bend 5 leaked
As an owner of mi5, this is not even funny. It just sucks how poor the durability is.
“Bernd” is a typical German name. Kind of like “John” would be for Americans.
How on earth did the glass on the screen not crack or shatter?
It’s ridiculous how the glass and LCD are fine. Welp, at least you have a unique phone!
r/woosh
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 :/
Mine was twisted around both axis.
goddammit take my upvote
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.

The most fragile phone I’ve ever used.
No, Mi5 is powered by SD820.
It’s truly is a wonder how the display assembly survived that

If that’s what it takes to get them to make a phone <6" again, I'll take it.
Nope, i think the screen will crack
I used MSVII case 🙁
