Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

The device in and of itself is quite good, and it looks very great, thin, and it produces a very cool sound from the speaker; however, MIUI eliminates all of these benefits. It is true that this is an attractive and comfortable shell, however the phone is HANGING on it. And regardless of the number of applications that are currently active. Even after the RAM has been well cleaned, if you are flipping through the tape in the FB, it is possible for it to begin to slow down and freeze altogether; the only solution is to reset using the button saved. Service firmware, upgrading to MIUI 12.5, or even rolling back to MIUI 11 did not solve the problem. The smart started to behave strangely even after it had been set up and the user had navigated to the desktop. Moving to custom firmware was ultimately determined to be the best approach. In Hycon OS (Android 11), the smart began to function much more effectively, however the brakes continued to occasionally happen. In contrast to MIUI, though, it's more like an airplane. Nevertheless, because the camera has so many features (and because of its quality), I had to part ways with it; this is the primary disadvantage of buying a bespoke camera; frequently, not all functions work:( Regarding the cameras, the quality was not something that particularly appealed to me, but I believe that other manufacturers will not be able to compete with such a low price point. 48 megapixels, and it takes excellent wide shots. 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 it's possible that these are rare incidents. If you do not want to wear out your nerves, the gadget should only be taken in version 4/64, and you should make sure to reflash to custom before using it.

Pros
  • Design, sound that is extremely loud, a good screen, NFC, a very good front camera, and two SIM cards in addition to an SD card.
Cons
  • Crazy breaks and frequent freezes tightly on the standard MIUI (3/64), after 8 months of operation there were problems with the talking microphone, and even though there are 4 cameras, they are quite mediocre even though there are 4. (only the width and 48 mp were more or less liked)
