I have this phone in my hands for 1 week (8gb - 256gb), coming from the Poxo x3 pro, I have the following to say:
Positives
- Speed, it is very smooth and the response is lightning-fast, of course it hasn't lagged (I put it through heavy gaming and multitasking) which is logical since it has the Snapdragon 8+ gen 1.
*For those who are into Android emulation, any game I have tried on Citra mmj (3ds) and Skyline Edge (Nintendo switch) plays at 30fps and 59-60fps in supported games.
- Main camera, with 200mp what can I say, the photos are crystal clear with very nice colors and almost perfect cutting in portrait mode. It also has many built-in tools to play with, and if you are a photography enthusiast and know how to use the pro mode, you can take photos at a professional level (without exaggerating).
- Videos, 4k 60fps and the 1080p with stabilization are very clear and high quality (I don't use the 8k as it is only 24fps).
- Display, beautiful colors and the brightness is quite satisfactory (it increases even more under the sun and you won't have any issues outside), and it has a 120hz screen refresh rate, so you understand.
- Powerful sound, good quality and stereo.
- The 120W charging is incredible, when I saw it in the specs before buying it, I didn't pay much attention but it is extremely convenient. I can charge it for 10 minutes in the morning before leaving for work and it will go from 30-40% to 100%.
Negatives
- Plastic, if you care about having a phone with a premium look, it won't satisfy you. It has a plastic frame and a pseudo-glass on the back, but still, it doesn't bother me personally as I have it with an armored case from day one, like all my phones.
- Battery, seeing the 5000mAh, I thought it would easily last me, but with the usage I give it, it doesn't last (5g with data on all day, gaming, social media, and shooting 3-4 videos in 4k during the day). Of course, as I mentioned above, with 10 minutes of charging, you can manage. If you're a normal person who doesn't drain their phone's battery, you won't have an issue. I always comment based on personal usage and experience. *Edit: I disabled 5g and use it with 4g, I come home at night with 20+% battery.
- Price, I see it at 899€, for no reason, guys, it's not worth that much money (not just this one, but generally for a phone, 900 euros is too much). I got it for 600€, which was the maximum I had set for buying a phone, and it was the best I found at this price.
- Ultra-wide camera, I expected it to be of better quality (but I have a slight reservation because I might be comparing the videos and photos of the ultra-wide with the main camera and the difference might seem huge).
Overall rating, I would give it a 4.5 mainly because of the price, because let's not forget that it is Xiaomi and we all went to Xiaomi for the low prices.
