Revainrating 3 out of 5

A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

Before this phone was xiaomi Redmi note4x, I thought that this phone would be the same size, just a more frameless screen, it turned out to be much larger. Due to the enlarged screen, when using it, the phone runs out of power pretty quickly. The LED indicator is missing. But the fingerprint scanner is the most annoying, it is located inconveniently right under the cameras, but it also works extremely poorly, it can only be unlocked 1 time in 60% of cases. Also much less convenient Google dialer (you can not record calls) and other pre-installed applications. I myself would take something smaller in size and with a FULL HD screen resolution. After using it for more than a month, I would not buy this phone for myself, technically everything seems to be fine, but there are inconveniences when using it, but it shouldn’t be like that.

Pros
  • Full slot for 2 SIM cards and SD card infrared port Availability of NFC Missing unibrow The screen of the phone is glued with a film from the factory and there is a case included USB C connector (I personally don't care)
Cons
  • The fingerprint scanner is located very inconveniently and does not work well. NFC has a weak signal, in 25-30% of cases it does not work, you have to carry a bank card with you there is no LED indicator of missed calls, etc. In the MIUI firmware for the European market, standard xiaomi applications (dialer, calendar, messages) are replaced with Google ones Pretty big phone
