Comparison review
The Microsoft Surface Duo has a general score of 78.8, which is a little bit better than Xiaomi Mi 5s's score of 76.4. The Microsoft Surface Duo body is newer and way thinner, but heavier than the Xiaomi Mi 5s. These devices work with Android OS (operating system), but Microsoft Surface Duo has older 10 version and Xiaomi Mi 5s has Android 6.0 Marshmallow version.
The Xiaomi Mi 5s features a bit better display than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has a lot smaller display and a much lower resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, it also counts with a little bit higher count of pixels in each screen inch. The Xiaomi Mi 5s counts with as much storage capacity for applications, games, photos and videos as the Microsoft Surface Duo one, they have equal internal storage capacity.
The Microsoft Surface Duo has a bit superior CPU than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because it has 2 GB more RAM and a larger number of cores (and faster). Microsoft Surface Duo has just a bit longer battery duration than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because it has a 3577mAh battery capacity. The Xiaomi Mi 5s features a slightly better camera than Microsoft Surface Duo, because although it has slower 30 fps video frame rate, and they both have the same 3840x2160 video definition and a F2 aperture, the Xiaomi Mi 5s also counts with a better 12 MP resolution back-facing camera.
Although Microsoft Surface Duo is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Xiaomi Mi 5s, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Xiaomi Mi 5s. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the Microsoft Surface Duo, else you can save some dollars and buy the Xiaomi Mi 5s, resigning a couple specs and features.
