Galaxy Fold captures clearer photographs and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because although it has a tinier camera sensor, and they both have the same video quality and a back facing camera with a 12 mega-pixels, the Galaxy Fold also counts with a lot larger aperture to capture better low-light captures and videos and faster 60 fps video frame rate.
Although Samsung Galaxy Fold is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the Xiaomi Mi 5s, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Xiaomi Mi 5s. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy Fold, otherwise you can save some money and get the Xiaomi Mi 5s, giving up some specifications.
