Coming from many Xiaomi, the last two being poco x3 and poco x5. The phone takes one SIM, without a memory card, takes an extra eSIM, there is no charger in the package but only a cable. It comes with a black soft case for the back and a film applied to the screen, not glass. It is lightweight with rounded edges on the screen. The headphone jack is missing but that's expected since it was made waterproof (ip68).
I never buy a phone before others have it and it doesn't score above 4.5 in reviews, but my redmi note 8 pro broke after 5 years and I was in a hurry. I would have bought the x6 which has good reviews, but I went for this one because surprisingly it costs the same (I got it for €283, today I see it has dropped even more). It has infrared (personally, this is the most important reason I don't switch brands) to control the TV, air conditioner, etc. As for the battery, I don't know because I just started it today, but while I was fiddling with it for hours to transfer all the apps, it didn't drop below 80%. There is an option if you want to limit the charging to 80% of the battery, so it doesn't overheat and the battery lasts for years, and you can disable this option whenever you definitely want 100% (e.g., for a trip).
I hope it doesn't develop a flaw and I don't regret my purchase, but I feel okay with it, while for example with a redmi note 12, I felt from the first hour that it wasn't good (it was heating up and went to 60% by the time I transferred the apps) and ended up returning it.
If you want fast charging, you need to get a pd 45w charger, which is an extra €25. Xiaomi has also started not including a charger.
