The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

I recommend it if you need a productive smartphone for social networks and everyday applications with a margin for the future. It is a pleasure to use if you are ready to first spend a couple of days getting acquainted and setting it up.

The photo for the review shows how the transitions from dark shades to black look stepwise, which causes artifacts (one-color shapes made of huge pixels). The frames are overexposed, but this is just to better see the problem.

Pros

Basically, the advantages are twofold, so in this review they correspond to the disadvantages under the same numbering. 1. The display is bright. 120 hertz is very smooth. 2. The sound from the speakers is pleasant. Conversational speaker helps in the formation of partial stereo. 3. A time-tested sufficiently energy-efficient processor, so the phone has good autonomy (even at 120 hertz) and it is powerful enough to quickly launch applications and have a smooth interface (I don’t play games, I didn’t check it). 4. MIUI as a whole is a pleasant and smooth shell with sufficient customization and convenient system applications. After switching to gesture control, I want to forget about the physical and on-screen buttons. 5. The pictures turn out to be quite good, if they are not too cropped. The camera app has a lot of modes. 6. Very pleasant vibration motor for tactile feedback.

Cons

I would attribute all these disadvantages to trifles, since most of these aspects are not important, and even I, who noticed all this, do not pay attention to them in most use cases. 1. The display has problems. In addition to the green tint, which is noticeable in the dark when watching videos / movies, in gray interfaces, around contrasting icons / text on a black background, there is sometimes a green-crimson frame one pixel thick. This also includes artifacts of dark gradients that have not been fixed by ates. Most likely the matrix has problems with the transition to off pixels. Also, the display turns yellow on all color schemes, except for the improved one with custom color settings. And a bit of personal preference: this size of a phone with this height already seems redundant. It's hard to reach the top of the screen, and you often make mistakes when typing. Bring back 16:9. 2. [Maybe this is a marriage] With the Dolby Atmos function turned on, the earpiece begins to hiss softly when silence is played (for example, the last seconds of a track or a transition in a movie). It interferes only when listening in complete silence. But in order not to go into the settings every evening, I simply turned off Dolby Atmos, and the sound did not get much worse from this. 3. Good performance in the future may be offset by an unsuccessful MIUI ate, and the battery may be greatly reduced in volume with frequent use of 50-watt charging. 4. After the purchase, I recommend spending a day or two removing unnecessary preloaded software, setting up the system, notifications and permissions. MIUI is a beautiful shell, but text scrolling is enabled in 2022, and the scale of elements is strange in places. 5. A macro camera is absolutely not needed, since when you crop a picture to the main one, it turns out about the same. Software processing turns some pictures into an oil painting if you crop the photos a lot. 6. I would like more customization in which applications and in what cases it is needed.
