I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Purchased on 10/20/20 to replace Xiaomi Redmi 5A prime. It's like switching from a penny to a Lamborghini. Got pros: Camera, battery, convenient OS and software. Supports fast charging, fingerprint and face ID work great. Good speaker. Split screen, second space and other delights of android. Well, the cherry on the cake is the NFC block. You can leave the house without a wallet) Cons below: The main problem is that dust sticks to it like a magnet. If the phone is in a case, then there will be…

Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.

Perhaps I'm the only one who wrote that the phone does not fulfill the main task: a stable connection. I did not find any feedback about the connection among the comments. The phone is good, it has many advantages for such a price, but it is primarily a PHONE - a means of communication. And the connection (Internet) he catches is disgusting. Calls, SMS are still fine, but he catches the Internet just terribly.

Pros
  • Camera, performance, autonomy
Cons
  • Dimensions, weight, bouncing body when playing sound, network

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I took Redmi Note 7 as a replacement. In principle, the same thing, but as of today. The choice rested on the manufacturer. Xiaomi has performed well in our family. We have been using it since 2022. So far there have been no complaints. It's heavy, but if you take something lighter, there will be a failure in performance. Photos are better in comparison with Note 7, from Note 8 Pro there are few differences. As a result, a good phone in terms of price-quality ratio. To date, covers all needs…

Pros
  • - work speed - enough memory - battery life - big screen - good picture - good camera - Fingerprint scanner on the power button - there is an infrared port - set with a film on the screen and a cover

Terrible quality, disappointed with the purchase.

Those. The sd card is connected like a normal storage. All functions carefully implemented by Android developers are simply cut out: it is impossible to use a flash drive either for expanding memory (this is when all sorts of caches and other temporary files of all applications are automatically stored on a flash drive, and not internal memory), or for classic application transfer (as in ancient androids up to the sixth versions). poco/xiami just took this feature and specifically cut it out…

Pros
  • Price (old, now the price is not so attractive)
Cons
  • - Only internal memory works, Poco's Adoptable Storage function is disabled for some reason. - Disabled the ability to transfer applications to external memory. - The MIUI shell is a STRONG thing for an amateur, that's right, caps. I highly recommend trying it somewhere before buying it. Pay attention to this, seriously. Just keep in mind that the "shell" is not only a launcher, but also a piece of an ecosystem of crooked Chinese services mimicking Google (from your own Chinese calculator to a Chinese app store and cloud storage). All this beauty will not be deleted without root, dev mode, adb, flashing to custom android, etc. etc. - China. Not the same China as in Motorola, when nothing but made in reminds of this, but exactly the same China, when you realized that the clothes bought for a seemingly fair price turn out to be dried donkey feces in a gilded wrapper, but somewhere there it sits self-asserted giggling huckster who warmed you up for a good amount.

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

The best state employee for your money (I took it for 17k on the official website). For such a price tag, you will not find 120Hz in combination with a stereo, 3.5 jack, NFC (!) And some kind of moisture and dust protection (it is not declared, but it is available, inadvertently checked) for this money. Who doesn’t like Xiaomi MIUI - it’s redesigned here and even looks good, you don’t need to install other launchers and generally suffer. 120Hz, of course, conquer, the main feature of this…

Pros
  • 120 Hz, price, build quality, firmware (Pokovsky MIUI), stereo, NFC, good vibration motor.
Cons
  • Camera, loud sound from the speaker, rare bugs and micro twitches.

Absolutely unusable product, not suitable for use.

Could not return to the store on time. I took in the Player ru. When making a purchase, I agreed to check in the store. I don't know what they checked. As a result, the battery drains quickly. When they call me, they cannot make out my speech, they say that the sound is made in the likeness of "croaking". Or vice versa, I can not hear what they say to me if I call. Such defects began to appear not after the purchase, but after a while. At the moment, there is no way to give it to the service…

Pros
  • Internet signal is good
Cons
  • Battery drains quickly

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

in general, I liked the device, the most annoying negative points are associated with software that will have to be solved after unlocking the bootloader Has some pros the black color of the screen is quite deep at a right angle, it looks almost like amoled, the sensor is responsive, the fingerprint scanner and face unlock are fast, in general, the phone is fast, fast charging (although it could be faster), 120 hertz really makes the interface work smoother and more pleasant to look at…

Good product for me, no problems at all.

One of the best combinations of cost and quality. I also bought one for my daughter, as she needs regular video shooting. And so, most of the parameters of modern smartphones are very similar - the biggest difference now is in shooting video and photos. And how to get rid of ads and how to install GooglePhotos there are a lot of instructions on the Internet. Different pros: I was looking for a smartphone for regular shooting of photos and videos on Instagram and YouTube. Six months before…

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

Great phone. Many people are outraged by the vibration of the plastic cover, but due to this, the sound comes from the back of the smartphone itself. I rolled "Poweramp", basses fly away. If you do not turn on 120 Hz, then with intensive use of the smart battery charge for a day is more than enough. I recommend the phone, but it seems to me that it will not be very comfortable for the female half . Although ?

Pros
  • Screen, performance, sound.
Cons
  • Heavy, 120Hz drops the battery

In general, it's pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

My first phone from the Poco series, before that there were redmi. I am very disappointed in it, the first month after the purchase the interface lagged a lot, but it passed with the ate. Interface bugs appeared, when unlocking for 1 second, a window appears that the battery is low (what is wrong), the Google Assistant starts up often by itself. When the speakers are working, it is not possible to hold the phone, the hand starts to hurt from vibration. The next phone will obviously not be from…

Pros
  • 1) Battery (enough for a couple of days) 2) Fast charging 3) NFC chip is powerful enough
Cons
  • 1) Size 2) The screen is not visible in the sun at maximum brightness 3) Firmware bugs (more details in the comments) 4) Stereo (more details in the comment) 5) At first hung up 6) There is still no ate to android 11, although many xiaomi smartphones have already switched to it 7) Face ID sucks 8) Loud speaker about conversation 9) Performance is not so hot, if you are a gamer, then this is clearly not your choice

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

Got pros: Big screen. high-quality camera, really high-quality camera lens block, pictures are fire! Especially in the dark, all sorts of "by candlelight and bonfires." "Flies"! Excellent sound - "bottom" has increased. A very loud built-in earpiece - I even had to turn it off - can be heard from the other side by strangers nearby. Great for those who have lost their hearing, and for a noisy street - the most THAT! The fingerprint scanner on the side button - actually recognizes three of my fin

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

Perhaps the most important thing is that I took this smartphone 6/64 sealed in Hong Kong with an official one-year warranty and delivery for 18,000 (if any of the locals need it, I can send the seller's contacts, he seems to have more). In China, it costs another thousand at 1.5 cheaper now. For this price, the best choice, I just do not see any competitors. But at the market price of 24.5 (if you count with delivery), there may be better options, you need to compare according to specific…

Pros
  • 1. Gorgeous 120Hz screen, everything is clearly visible on the street on a sunny day 2. Excellent performance, nothing slows down / does not lag with constant use. But I don’t play games if anything, I don’t know how they will be pulled. 2. Good cameras, high level of stabilization. If you put a Google camera, then the photos will be even better. 3. It charges up to 100% in an hour, with my usage format (social networks, browser, calls), the charge is enough for 1.5 days. 4. Stereo speaker - worse than the galaxy s10 +, but given that competitors in this price category have no stereo at all, I'll add it to the plus 5. NFC works out of the box, which is not always the case with Chinese smartphones 6. The fingerprint scanner in the power button is faster than the under-screen ones and it has a convenient position 7. Pleasant vibration like on expensive devices 8. The phone comes with a case, and a film is pasted on the screen from the factory. For the first time the most, then of course I will buy a more suitable one. 9. Very nice MIUI 12
Cons
  • It was hard to note the shortcomings, these points do not particularly bother me, but suddenly this is important for someone: 1. Dimensions and weight, I think not for everyone 2. The design of the camera block. I like the back cover, but the camera block does not cause delight. 3. So-so shoots in the dark - you have to try with a Google camera, but have not set it yet. 4. There is no full-fledged water protection, it will survive the rain, but falling into the water is unknown.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

It's a pity that the screen resolution does not change like on other smartphones (not to be confused with the refresh rate). Happy with the device! I recommend. I add: I tried cleaning the speakers, it really blows from the conversation, you feel it against the cheek, there is a big sound from the main bell. Has some pros In this device I found everything I wanted. There is also a large battery, a good screen (although it’s too big for me, but you get used to it quickly). Everyone writes about…

Good product, not disappointed.

Out of the box, 30 GB is already occupied by something . Therefore, you should take only 128 GB and not regret it . In general, a good device, I'm satisfied. I bought it on amazon (Gadget Club) for a promotion that turned out to be 20,241 as of March 14, 2022. They also promised me to return about 2,000 to . The product came in a package, new, everything is fine. Taken from behind the camera. Compared to my previous phones, it shoots very well, but I'm not a professional in this.

Pros
  • The cover was included. The film is already pasted on the screen by the manufacturer.
Cons
  • Some kind of incomprehensible record of conversations. It is necessary to always turn it on forcibly, and she also talks about it (but it seems that the interlocutor does not hear this all the same). Where it is stored and how long it is stored is not known :( This is solved by installing additional applications, although this is no longer so convenient. There is no protective film on the cameras on the back. Maybe so, but I'm afraid for them.

Far from my first smart from Xiaomi, I bought it on Ali at the beginning of sales, so there was no way to "hold it in my hands". In terms of dimensions / weight in performance characteristics, POCO had a little more than RN-8Pro, which my wife has been using for almost a year, so I decided that there would not be much difference. In fact, it is a terribly uncomfortable thick and heavy "brick" with a block of cameras protruding at the back. By the way, the stock case is also very thick for some…

Pros
  • The phone is smart, fast (turbo) charging, loud sound. In general, a lot has already been written about its merits, in short, yes - everything corresponds.
Cons
  • Size / weight and ergonomics, the “traditional” blockage of advertising from Xiaomi, the impossibility of publicly disabling “all ads in MIUI-12 through a Mi account in a couple of clicks” - everything has to be turned off “the old fashioned way”. Name =)))

I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

Didn't like MIUI at all. The settings are scattered throughout the menu, God knows where. Unfortunately, it is the telephone part that does not work perfectly. It happens that an outgoing call cannot be started. 1. I have two SIM cards, one for talking and the Internet is working, the 2nd is personal. There are settings that all voice calls are through the 1st SIM card. So, if this phone cannot connect through the 1st SIM card, it can easily call from the second one! The question is, what the…

Pros
  • Screen: visible in the sun, fast charging. Works fast. Headphone jack (I love having a choice). IR port is convenient!
Cons
  • The sound is too loud when talking on the phone. So that it was not audible, I decided to use a BT headset (That's what it came to!) It's heavy, There is no way to select the resolution of the pictures in the stock camera, only the picture quality is regulated. As a result, I installed the opencamera application, everything is there.

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Additional Xiaomi applications do not soar, although many write about them. Actually, like the Poco launcher. I tried switching to other launchers, inconvenient. Maybe I'm just used to Xiaomi. In any case, it is a matter of habit. Pros: Performance. Camera. Charger. Fingerprint scanner. Autonomy. In terms of performance, I can say that it is more than enough for me. It just doesn't slow anything down. Scrolling is smooth. It is very nice. The camera is just great. Surely there are cooler…

Nightmarish quality and complete inconsistency with the description.

In general, I am, of course, satisfied with the ergonomics of the device, it is really pleasant, but . I bought this device based on cool reviews and recommendations from tech bloggers. The first days everything was great, but then the glitches started. Either it slows down, then in the upper band it duplicates and superimposes the state of the network and battery charge along with all notifications, then the screen changes color to purple and becomes normal only after a reboot. It is often…

Pros
  • Price

As a result, all 5 months of use warmly recalled my previous smartphone. I even looked at the alishka - maybe it was lying around in the remnants, but no. I never got used to heaviness, even though my hands do not get tired anymore. I am more and more inclined to think about replacing POCO with lighter options. Pros: - Excellent 64Mp camera - Macro camera - Nice big screen 120Hz - Powerful processor - Great loud stereo speakers - Battery 5160 mAh (discharges somewhere up to 60% in 24 hours).…
