The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Although this is not my first Xiaomi smart device, I did not get to "feel it in my hands" because I purchased it on Ali at the very beginning of sales. I figured there wouldn't be much of a difference between the POCO and the RN-8Pro, which my wife has been using for about a year, because the POCO had a little more in terms of dimensions/weight in performance attributes. In reality, it's a cumbersome "brick" made entirely of cameras that protrudes awkwardly from the back. In addition, the stock case is rather bulky, making holding the phone even more of a chore; if you want my advice, buy a different cover right away; "third-party" cases are substantially thinner. Also, I recommend physically handling POCO prior to purchase. While comparing smart watches, I find the RN-8Pro to be the most user-friendly and one-handed-friendly option. Neither the system's overall performance nor the "smoothness" of the 120Hz display stood out to me when compared to the RN-8Pro. For me, "stereo sound" is not a priority because I don't play video games. Nevertheless, if you've just sprung for a Xiaomi, you should know that the operating system comes "out of the box" clogged with junk and preloaded with advertising. Of course, after putting in some effort, you can fine-tune everything "for yourself" and end up with an extremely potent yet, at the same time, quite a cheap product. Is there anything it brings to mind? I'm talking about AMD, for those who are confused. But, there aren't any drawbacks outside the added bulkiness and weight, are there?

Pros
  • The phone has excellent intelligence, turbo charging speed, and volume. A lot has been said about its value, so the quick answer is "yes"; everything checks out.
Cons
  • The "conventional" blocking of advertising from Xiaomi, the inability to publicly disable "all adverts in MIUI-12 using a Mi account in a couple of clicks," and other factors necessitating the use of the "old fashioned" methods of disabling are all off-putting. Name =)))
