    Adam BROWNBy Adam BROWNSeptember 29, 2016

    Xiaomi MI5S and Xiaomi MI5S Plus have started to sell now. And the main feature of MI5S is the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner under glass and ‘Dark Eye’ camera. Today we will tear down Xiaomi MI5S Pro with Snapdragon 821 processor, RAM 4GB ROM 128GB, 3D Touch. According to the tear down, we can know Xiaomi MI5S internal layout, and the back metal cover processing is exquisite, and makes nice process in its cooling.

    But due to the design problem, Xiaomi MI5S has ditched OIS and Infrared function to use Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, if this function is broken, it will need to pay higher repairing fee.

    20160929_094356_10220160929_094356_701

    20160929_094357_185

    20160929_094357_717

    We tear down this grey Xiaomi MI5S, this time it adopts all metal body, its golden and dark grey uses high gross drawing craftsmanship on its back cover for golden and dark grey color. But we don’t feel cold with metal design. The silver and rose golden surface uses matte grinding processing which looks very simple. The back cover with antenna looks stand-out compared with other places of its back cover.

    20160929_094358_188

    Xiaomi MI5S still supports dual Nano SIM card, dual standby, netcom, but it doesn’t support using TF card to expand the storage. The card slot uses good design to avoid users inserting the SIM card opposite.

    20160929_094359_241

    Remove the screws, the back cover is connected by the buttons on both sides, but the buttons are few.

    20160929_094359_781

    On the back metal cover has graphite heat stickers in order to keep the nice quality of signal.

    20160929_094400_417

    The part of injection molding retains the main camera fixing in order to prevent the camera from moving.In addition, Xiaomi MI5S earphone jack has also got insulation by injection molding.

    20160929_094401_561

    There is a Fragile sticker covered the screw on the top and down of the mainboard. It means when you tear down to this step, you will lost the official maintenance qualification.

    20160929_094402_142

    The protection panel uses many screws to connect the body, meanwhile, they can fix many connector on the motherboard.

    20160929_094402_657

    The battery of Xiaomi MI5S uses two stickers to fix in order to be convenient for maintenance and exchange.

    20160929_094403_188

    Xiaomi MI5S uses a 3.85V working voltage and charging voltage 4.4V 3200mAh battery.

    20160929_094403_738

    The bottom is the speaker, USB Type C, microphone, moter,  etc. Xiaomi MI5S screen supports 3D Touch,

    20160929_094404_326

    The sound cavity speaker module and antenna shrapnel、

    20160929_094404_822

    The bottom is the small plate, powered by the USB Type Port. And its interface has supported insulation。

    20160929_094405_348

    It is the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner module feature which has used the high definition ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, it forms the 3D module of fingerprint according to the back time of convex and concave of fingerprint based on Ultrasonic.

    20160929_094405_923

    It’s the screen touch chip, Xiaomi MI5S uses Synaptics S3331 touch chip.

    20160929_094406_543

    It takes advantage of the metal material on the top of the body and under the motherboard to make the groove corresponding to cut off as the shield that can be helpful to reduce the phone thickness, but also enhanced the cooling processing in the important chip placement.

    20160929_094407_92

    This time the main feature of Xiaomi MI5S is the back camera that uses 1/2.3inch Sony IMX378 sensor, 12MP. In photo sample, Xiaomi MI5S has shown the advantage in taking pictures at night.

    20160929_094407_590

    This time Xiaomi doesn’t add OIS, in order to keep the camera not stand out.

    20160929_094408_86

    The light distance sensor module.

    20160929_094408_541

    20160929_094409_72

    Because Xiaomi MI5S mainboard back chipset shield is welded on the mainboard. According to the main board, it shows the signal, receiver, NFC antenna and 3.5mm earphone jack, so there is no other place to put the Infrared recognition module.

    20160929_094409_678

    According to teardown, Xiaomi MI5S internal design has nice layout, the back metal cover has used Injection molding with exquisite processing for better cooling, such as the graphite stickers, in order to keep the phone’s thickness, it uses shield to ditch the OIS and Infrared function. The overall tear down is not so difficult, but about the maintenance, if the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is broken, it is a little difficult to repair or change.
