I prefer screws over glue
Xiaomi phones remind of "storage and SoC" phones only.Not surprised to see this bad quality since it's a phone for under 200$.If the camera is same as Note 4 then it's even worse.
Glues are better than screws?? Interesting premise.
I do like Apples & Sammys. But Xiaomis are just too good for the price. Whats the point in buying a phone which is twice the price just to get a warranty or better build materials? I have been using Mi5 for more than half an year now. This thing hasn't broken yet. At around $220 for international buyers, no big makers can come even close to the price with a comparable performance

In Lumia 730 we can easily remove back cover. Here Back-cover glued up. Its same deisng used in all Xioami mobiles.
Not A Problem.... Because Ur Paying Less.... But I Only Don't Like In Chinese Phones Un-removable Battery.... Rest All Is Fine :)
Yes, Yes, cheap, glue...but it's FIXABLE. You can replace a part when it breaks. Try doing that to your 1-3/10 iFixit score Galaxy or iPhone. And when that thing breaks because of a minor part that is soldered somewhere you are out almost 800Eur/USD instead of 150
well you really get what you pay for .

So something is really wrong here. Xiaomi is sacrifycing the resistance of the phone to be better looking.
now you know the quality. Make sure you have an extra glue bottle
Wow. Been put together with only glue and tape. Well, as long as it is functional I guess. No wonder it's cheap.
Chinese Phones Mostly Use N Throw For 1 or 2 Years...But Now Slowly They R Improving... They Will Not Give U Best Quality Like Accept In Galaxy S3, Lumia 640, Galaxy S5, Sony Xperia, HTC or Nokia Etc..... If Ur Paying Less For Better Deal Then U Should Not Cry :)
You can't have it all for the price they are asking for their devices. Build quality is where they make compromises. Jerryrigeverything on youtube shows how badly built xiaomi devices are in his stress tests.
wow looks very cheap put toghether.inside all components. im dissapointed
