    Simply the worst so far.

    This wasn't my first Xiaomi phone, and perhaps that's why I'm so disappointed. It freezes a lot and its performance is quite poor. It also overheats frequently.

    Xiaomi's operating system messes up everything it touches.

    The phone performed well. It had a lot of annoying bloatware and some apps you couldn't uninstall, which bothered me a lot. Performance declined along with battery efficiency. After two years, the battery died, so I think it was designed to fail (planned obsolescence), because I've had phones that I've used much more than this one and they're still working. It heats up very quickly, and when it gets too hot, it shuts down and you have to restart it. It's one of the worst phones out there; I strongly advise against buying it.

    Pros
    • Good performance when it was new.
    Cons
    • Terrible battery.
    • Terrible performance after one year.
    • It turns off when it gets hot.
    • It heats up quickly.
    • Operating system that slowly kills it.
    • Uncontrolled bloatware.

    It's good, I found it at a good price.

    It gets hot after playing for a while, but for networking and messaging it's good.

    • Overheating
    • Many pre-installed apps

    Bad mobile, very slow and gets stuck from the start.

    Notifications and calls don't arrive well, sometimes not even coming through and often taking 7-10 seconds to answer. It's very slow, regardless of whether you're using the extra RAM or not. It stalls and clogs up even if you only have one app open. There are many unnecessary apps that can't be uninstalled.

    Pros: Screen, battery, budget Cons: Performance, camera

    Very bad performance, at least I had 330000 in Antutu, it lags a lot in games, the camera shoots a maximum of 1k 30 fps (I think)

    A good device, but it gets very hot.

    When I play some heavy games, it runs well, but it gets quite hot, and the cameras are also average. But I really like the device.

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.
