    Very good value for money! I bought it on may 2018, in a really good burgen in 100€! Unfortunately very sensitive LCD screen, I ' ve already damaged it twice.... Amazing smart, patent with the tray of 2sims and 1 more for the SD! Sth that even in latest model doesn't use them any more! Amazing phone for that money! Thank you Xiaomi!

  • Big Screen ok, monster size bazel for me.

    I think for 5.5" in 16:9 aspect ratio is out todate. The market storms at south east asian people. Generally our hand can't handle it in single hand properly.
    For gaming it's ok, still handy.
    SD 435 is enough.
    Battery for a full day with daily apps include little times of gaming.
    Pixel density is not enough for this big screen. 267 ppi 5.5" inch screen. Clumsy

    Pros
    • 16 Mp selfie
    • Nice rear body
    • Very fast fingerprint for this price
    • Wide screen
    • Strong signal
    Cons
    • Top and bottom bazel are quite large
    • 267 ppi
    • Contact setting not so customisable

    In 2021, you can find better for such a price

    If you really want to buy it, if not for games, look again, if you haven't found it, buy it, if for games, don't smoke

    Pros
    • Price
    Cons
    • CPU

    The truth is that it is a good value mobile phone.

    I fell into the water and survived excellently, only on the screen it was left with a few scratches, the camera well ... It could improve, yes, connectivity is often null; It appears that you have a battery and that your data is set but the data does not work. If you have a case and tempered glass on it, it will hardly break because mine has suffered many accidents and is great except for the scratches on the screen. The design of the system could be more beautiful and comfortable because it lacks a main menu where all the apps appear. Really, if it weren't for connectivity, it would be an almost impeccable mobile

Ki Cost-effective
Score
Not available
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.
