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? 😀
Can’t believe Xiaomi copying the iPhone 6…

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?
Just a day after. Woke up in the morning and saw the phone like this
Hope I do
How is it battery not damaged? I’d be worried about the battery exploding…
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.
It’s truly is a wonder how the display assembly survived that
Does the 5s suffer from that issue too?
Remember the iPhone 6 bendgate? Mine is exactly like this lol
new Mi Bend 5 leaked
I wince every time Zach bends phones, but I prefer that than my phone.
Also the subs made me giggle
Call it “Mi 5 Bernd” and you have the German market secured 😀
LG had a flexible phone
5s is a lot heavier and has a metal back
And I thought the design was the absolute limit to which Xiaomi would copy the iPhone!
Explain
Bloody hell that’s a hardcore bend. Are there zero touch issues?
Just jealous you don’t have a kickass bendy phone aren’t you?
None at all
That’s crazy dude. Have you tried bending it back?
Nope, i think the screen will crack
“Bernd” is a typical German name. Kind of like “John” would be for Americans.
As an owner of mi5, this is not even funny. It just sucks how poor the durability is.
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!
Only for Polish market.
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 why you buy http://www.luphiecase.com/xiaomi-mi-5-bumper-cases.html before you start using your Mi5.
That future sounds horrifying…
goddammit take my upvote
I think you’re right. Make a backup of your shit if you haven’t done so already
Can’t believe? Expected tbh.
*Damn
How did you end up bending it might I ask?
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 used MSVII case 🙁
How did it get this bad without snapping? Must have been some slow bending to do all that
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.
It’s ridiculous how the glass and LCD are fine. Welp, at least you have a unique phone!
How on earth did the glass on the screen not crack or shatter?
If that’s what it takes to get them to make a phone <6" again, I'll take it.
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 could be advertised as the most comfortable phone ever to use on your back pocket.

The most fragile phone I’ve ever used.
No, Mi5 is powered by SD820.
Your ip6? I think I Need visual proof
r/woosh
Mine was twisted around both axis.
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.
Xiaomi Mi5 Flex 😮
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.
welp
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 :/
I just wanted to say that it still works perfectly 😀
