Summary
- The Meizu M5 features a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the Xiaomi Mi 4i has a smaller 5.0-inch IPS LCD with a higher resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, resulting in a sharper display.
- In terms of performance, the M5 is powered by a Mediatek MT6750 chipset, whereas the Mi 4i utilizes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615, with the latter offering slightly better CPU performance.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera, but the Mi 4i benefits from a wider aperture of f/2.0 compared to the M5's f/2.2, potentially improving low-light performance.
- The M5 has a 3070 mAh battery, slightly less than the Mi 4i's 3120 mAh, but both lack fast charging capabilities.
- In terms of software, the M5 runs on Android 6.0 with Flyme 6.3, while the Mi 4i operates on Android 5.0.2 with MIUI 8.2, offering different user experiences.
- Build quality differs as well, with the M5 using an aluminum frame and back versus the Mi 4i's plastic construction, though both have glass fronts.
