It is priced at $689 in the U.S without any contracts while in India the device was rumored to be priced around Rs.55,000. But now we have the actual Indian pricing of the device. According to Hugo Barra, VP of Xiaomi, the LG G5 will be priced at Rs. 49,900 which is slightly higher than what Galaxy S7 costs here in India. In comparison with the other flagships, the Xiaomi Mi 5 costs only 50% of what the other flagships are retailing.

Though the device comes with only 3GB of RAM and 1080p display, the rest of the specifications are on par with the LG G5 and Galaxy S7. Talking about the LG G5, the first ever sale came with lots of issues like backlight bleeding and an uneven gap at the modular joint. Even the device is mentioned to be built out of complete metal, but in reality, it comes with a thick layer of plastic over the Aluminum casing.
