However, Xiaomi Mi5 camera does come along with several other features that can beat up its opponent. This is the first thing that Xiaomi Mi5 is better than S7.

First of all, the rear aperture of Xiaomi Mi5 camera is higher than that of Galaxy S7 (F2.0 VS F1.7), which ensures better light exposure and enhanced depth of the pictures taken. Secondly, let’s take a look at the glass cover the 2 companies picked. Xiaomi chose real sapphire for their Mi5 lens cover.

Next, seems like Xiaomi Mi5 has better camera color reproduction. The conclusion has been come up with according to different user reviews. When considering real pictures take by both mobiles, we find Xiaomi Mi5 on the winning side. Last but not least, Xiaomi Mi5 is featured with dual LED Flash, while Galaxy S7 only sports a single one. This makes night time photo experience on Mi5 better than the other.
