- Great experience from a previous Redmi user
Excellent cameras in most conditions, a warm phone but ordinary because it's small and made of aluminum, a new battery that lasts about 5.3 to 6.3 hours, and a great operating system for Pixel fans.
Pros- Everything great for 140$ phone

View answers - I wouldn't recommend this phone, fck Google
I've been using this phone for 1 year, and it has an awful optimization, my phone is usually discharged after 3-4 hours of using. pre installed rom is unstable, especially memorable moment is navigation between apps, when i noticed bug with image of previous app after switching to another app. Google Tensor is the first processor, that disappointed me. And pre installed on-screen glass was cracked by 0.5 m dropping. Fcking chinese phones are better than this phone.

View answers - Good looking phone, but it overheats constantly, what kills battery, and freezes app a lot.
Phone is good looking. Very nice display. Makes good pictures, but it constantly overheats even when only 2 apps are on. Frame gets extremly hot. Sometimes the apps freeze. Battery don't even last a day.
Two software probles for me are:
-you cannot clone the apps, so if you want a dual sim phone on which you are going to use Whatsapp for both sim cards/numbers, it's bettter to choose other phone. (On Pixel 7a you can use WhatsApp for Business, and normal Whatsapp. It works, but is far, far less convinient than just cloning the app like on any other Android phone)
-you can't turn on flashlight by clicking twice side button or by shaking the phone (you have to unlock the phone and then you can make other gesture) - not convinient.Pros- good looking
- nice dislay
- good camera
Cons- battery
- overheating
- can not clone whatsapp for dual sim
- cant turn on flashlight by clicking side button x2

I have changed from Xiaomi to Pixel. I had two Xiaomis and always some repairs going on. I found the Pixie 7a as a very robust device, with a superb camera. The connectivity is great, the receiption strong, and the speakers make fun to watch also "hear" sound. I am positively surprised. The battery lasts for a good day. The charging could be faster though.
Pros- The technical stuff
- Design
- Robust
- Latest Android with Security Updates for 5y
- Top camera
- Good speakers
Cons- Scope of delivery (only cable but no cover and plug)
- Battery could last bit longer and charge faster
- Could be IP68 instead IP67

View answers - AutoVery cheap mobile phone that will be updated until Android 17 is released
It's a phone that, if the battery isn't damaged, will last at least a day with heavy use, and often has some charge left over. It has 5G SA, pure Android, and updates up to Android 17. It also has Android betas and a good camera with AI and HDR, along with 4K 60 FPS. Of all the phones I've owned, it's the best. It's not the best for gaming, but it holds its own.
Pros- Good camera
