Guys i have Nexus 5x that just bootlooped. Would you recommend me this phone as a substitute? Is camera in range with N5x?

Hi,

I will briefly say that I do recommend this phone.
I've been using this phone for 6 months and I really satisfied with its performance, camera (used Google camera HDR+ now which is much better than stock), Battery life is good enough and charging is fast.

For me the best part of this phone is its Performance, really powerful. I never get lag on every game I've tried so far.

I have used this phone for 2 weeks now.
Battery life is good, probably better than Nexus 5x.
Performance is great.
The camera with the ported Google camera HDR+ is very good but not on par with the best camera phones such as Google Pixel and Galaxy S7/S8. My guess is that the camera is more or less on par with Nexus 5x.
The only thing that annoys me is the unreliable fingerprint reader.

I do have to say that battery life for most people is average at best, so don't expect the crazy goodness of other Xiaomi devices. Otherwise, a great phone. And yes, the camera mod is a must. Fingerprint reader isn't really a problem with my device.

If you do want a better battery life and don't mind a bigger device, also look at the Mi 5X. Performance is a bit less though, but unless you game a lot you shouldn't notice. Prices are roughly the same.

Have you tried forcedoze? Since I installed forcedoze battery life has been very good, not on the same level as Mi 5s Plus but still above average I would say.

I have not, but since I immediately close apps in the background, I doubt it will make a difference. But I will try it nonetheless.
