I have this in gold and bought it at this price maybe Christmas time? Should have dropped by now right..?
The phone itself is pretty good. However there are a few software bugs which is very tedious-
* battery save app is great but has issues with alarm clock apps and turns them off. Also it doesn't refresh GPS as often with this same bug, ok for Google maps etc, not ok for itracks (real time speed tracking).
* rooting isn't the most straightforward and support isn't quite there on the forums,
* fingerprint doesn't work very well in horizontal position.

I have this phone and it is great. the battery saver App did cause me some problems to begin with but once you found all the options it is actually excellent as you can control which apps can do what in the background, you can exclude the clock from any restrictions which will let it work normally. the only thing I find annoying is that the 4g where I work appears to be band 20 because my connection is crap and almost unusable there, everywhere else is ok. I'm on Vodafone but will be changing to 3 in the hope that that's better

My fingerprint is fine, how weird. I have heard that there are 2 models, a lesser LGD model and a better JDI model and both use very different drivers.

Code MI564G brings it down to £175.04, pay in dollars with a special credit card that has a perfect exchange rate / no foreign transaction fee and it could be as low as £169. Credit to kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-mi5-64gb

I would probably bite if it came down to £150. Generally happy with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 though.
