View answers - Nice phone, when pixel experience ROM installed
Begonia Elixir Android 14 works a treat on this phone and has extended the life of the phone beyond Xiaomi's miserable 2 major updates up to MIUi 12.5/Android 11, so now to Android 14 and beyond. Elixir passes the SafetyNet app test and so GPay and banking work 'out of the box'.
All in all an A1 buy, used, and ROMd up and although it is now 4 years old still works like a new phone with Elixir 14. The best phone I've bought ever, period, for stupid cheap money.Pros- Size

- Screen is just fine
- Elixir ROM upgradable

View answers - It's the best in it's time.
If the rear camera did not fail, it's good for me. I tried to let a technician replace the camera and it was fixed, but it has troubled me to have the same problem again even if the rear camera got replaced. Then, because of the poor gluing of the technician when putting the phone part back together again, the phone's durability got weaker (I don't if that's common upon opening then gluing back together a phone, when you get it to be fixed). The poor gluing caused my phone to have black spots. It happened because after the fix I forgot to put it away from my bed so I slept on it.
Pros- glass front & back
- selfie camera
- 3.5mm jack
- no screen burns
- i can play mobile games
- good in video editing
Cons- rear camera unfocused
- OTG somewhat disappered
- weak flash

I've been using this phone for the last five years... I've used it for everything, social media, videogames, content creation, photography, ETC. It has never disappointed me and it's still a pretty decent phone. In my view, one of the best Redmi note generations.
