  • Great phone overall, compact and beautiful.

    It's pretty compact, useful with just one hand, the screen is curved which helps for grabbing, has a really powerfull sound, has no considerable bugs on MIUI 13 Android 12, the proximity sensor fails 1 out of 15-20 times but it's not annoying at all, the screen is brighter than previous phones I had, the battery runs out really fast, about 4-6 hours of screen time and 20 hours active in a normal day using data mobile, bluetooth and WiFi hotspot but the positive side is that you only need to plug it for 40 minutes and you'll be ready again with his 67 W charger included, on the website it says that has only one flash but actually it's dual, the selfie camera can be improved using the Google Camera, the OIS is impressive and the video is good, the fingerprint sensor is fast and the face unlock as well.

    My experience with the phone for 2 months has been really good, as expected.

  • Very good phone for everything

    its good for everyday use, and gaming too. Maybe a little too fast go dead when playing game. But the Charger is really good, so its no problem at all. Photos are very nice! Best photos i made with it nights so far! I very like it.
    Cons: I can scratch the glass at the first day, so its a disappoint for me.

    It's good but hot

    It is a good cell phone, the performance is perfect, it never crashes, the screen is excellent, although the battery lasts about 10 minutes at 100 after charging and begins to discharge but slightly. A detail that is worth sharing is the issue of heating; It gets hot and quite a lot, using daily apps it gets hot and since the edges are made of aluminum alloy, it burns when used while playing, especially the top part. The cameras are good, the macro is not to mention, but the ultra wide is a bit bad in light, the photo looks a bit dark. The issue of optimization by Xiaomi can change the user's opinion on whether to buy or not, when I bought it it was fine, warm, but when updating to miui 14 it got very hot and as I already mentioned it feels like it burns on the aluminum edge . Perfect screen and if you are wondering if the curve bothers you, no. The excellent load. The sound is very immersive, it sounds like cinema, just perfect. The processor is excellent when it comes to playing I come from a redmi note 8 and the change is extreme, everything to maximum and not a jerk

    A GREAT PORTABLE PHONE UNDER $500

    It complies with practically everything, the only thing missing is IP 68 to say the least, super fast charging in 30 minutes and you're ready, both by cable and wirelessly. Good screen, good sleep and decent autonomy for the size. Its only cons would be that it gets a bit hot, especially in hot climates, and its software has many bugs, otherwise there are 10.

    Pros
    • cameras
    • Super fast charging and battery
    • Processor power
    • compact size and design
    • It comes with a 67w charger and case in the box.
    Cons
    • Does not have water or dust protection
    • It gets a little hot
    • unoptimized software, some bugs

    It is a very complete mobile. Super recommended for users looking for a different team than usual.

    Regarding the issue of overheating, playing I have not evidenced it. The issue of the battery is compensated with the 65W charger, since it fully charges in around 40 min.

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
