Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

The device itself is very good, and it looks very nice, thin, very cool sound from the speaker, but MIUI kills all these advantages. Yes, this is a beautiful, comfortable shell, but the phone HANGS on it. And regardless of how many applications are running. Even with a completely cleaned RAM, flipping through the tape in the FB, it can start to slow down and freeze tightly, only rebooting with the button saves. Service firmware, ating to MIUI 12.5, even rolling back to MIUI 11 did not solve the problem, the smart started to get stupid even after setting it up and going to the desktop. Somehow, the solution was to move to custom firmware. On Hycon OS (Android 11), the smart began to work much better, while the brakes periodically occur. However, compared to MIUI, it's an airplane. But, with many camera features (and with its quality), I had to part - this is the main minus of custom - often not all functions work :( As for the cameras - I didn’t really like the quality, but for such a price - I think that other manufacturers will not be better. 48 MP and wide shoot very well. I also note that after 7-8 months of operation, problems with the microphone began - when talking, if you bring the phone to your ear, I will hear the interlocutor, but he will not hear me, I have to bring the microphone closer to me so that the interlocutor hears me . But perhaps these are isolated cases. The device should be taken only in version 4/64, and be sure to reflash to custom, if you do not want to kill your nerves.

Pros
  • Design, loud sound, good screen, NFC, very good front camera, 2 SIM + SD card.
Cons
  • Wild brakes and frequent freezes tightly on the stock MIUI (3/64), after 8 months of operation there were problems with the conversational microphone, although there are 4 cameras, they are very mediocre (only the width and 48 mp were more or less liked)
