I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I am happy with the smartphone. Why?

I bought this device as an additional one, instead of a premium dialer, which was in a metal case, with a good 5MP camera, 3G and worked 31-33 days in standby mode or 2 weeks with active use. That phone served me 14 years.
Therefore, in my case, the important criteria are:
• Convenient notebook,
• The presence of a normal camera in order to take a picture of a document,
• The presence of a player and FM radio,
• The presence of a memory card
• The presence of a flashlight
• Long standby time
• Good network reception
• Low price

I clearly understand that now I can’t buy a similar dialer, I can’t replace it, there aren’t any. Most push-button phones have a terrible address book, they are buggy, slow, they have terrible communication quality, there is no normal camera, I generally keep quiet about the player and other joys of civilization, autonomy is somewhere, somewhere not. Often they have one thing good, but not all at once.

I wrote such a review and criticism for those who consider the phone as the main one, for a permanent one. I myself use flagship models, on average, my phone lives for about 3-4 years, this one, I'm sure, with active use, will live for 2 years, how it will behave after 3 years during my operation, it will be seen. For 2 weeks of operation, the sensations are pleasant and despite the shortcomings, I would recommend it for purchase.

Separately, I would like to note the photo capabilities, with the GCam camera, the smartphone shoots no worse, and in some places even much better than my main device. The only shooting is not hurried, and in poor lighting it is better to use a tripod. But the quality of pictures with Gcam exceeds all expectations!
I have this MGC_820220221_A9_PV4_MGC with Bsg81_rn10s_iQ3+. xml configuration (can be found on w3bsit3-dns. Com).

I don’t write about games, I bought it for another.

Navigation - nothing outstanding, normal, sometimes lost or slowly finding satellites, but now it's normal.

In constant use for 3 years as Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. There is something to compare.

Pros

1. Affordable price. Value for money. 2. Fast charging, full charge in 1h30 minutes, but it is better to use with less power, my complete charger does not charge the smartphone to the end. Charging 20W, charges the battery completely. 3. Autonomy from 2 to 6 days without recharging. 4. Screen, good, bright colors. Almost does not go blind in the sun. 5. Work with mobile network, signal, network speed, reception stability. 6. Dual 4G, 4G network works on any of the SIM cards. 7. When talking on the phone, the phone can use the Internet from the second SIM card, not even all flagships can do this. 8. 2 SIM cards and a memory card, full-fledged three slots, it's convenient. 9. Different memory options, 4/64 GB, 4/128 GB, 6/128 GB. 10. In the version of 128 GB of memory, the SD card adds a sense of sufficiency. 11. Good camera sensors, both rear and front, not bad, but with a caveat, more in the comments. 12. Fast processor. 13. No strong heating. 14. A good voice recorder and the ability to record calls, albeit with a warning. 15. Good flashlight. 16. An interesting choice of body colors, I have a yellow, matte one, it looks beautiful, albeit plastic. 17. The presence of an infrared port to control equipment. 18. The presence of a 3.5 connector for a headset. 19. Case included, albeit simple. 20. There is built-in protection against dangerous applications and antivirus.

Cons

1. Low quality software. Glitches out of the box. When you first set it up, apps are suggested, unchecked, and after 30 seconds, they are checked again. It takes manual dexterity to uncheck all the boxes and click next. 2. Some devices have a play in the back cover. I'm lucky it doesn't. 3. Little RAM (4/6 GB) in modern realities. 4. Brakes, the launcher actively consumes the battery, sometimes it is unloaded from memory, it is noticeably heavy. 5. Many familiar features are missing, app cloning and second space. They are disabled, you can enable them by dancing with a tambourine. 6. The interface is sometimes overloaded and not logical. 7. Limited personalization, can't customize icons, get rid of wallpaper carousel offer on lock screen, disable widget feed. 8. Too many ads in MIUI, it doesn't turn off completely everywhere. Somewhere for 30/90 days, somewhere it continues to emerge. 9. Many integrations of online functions. You can watch clips in the audio player, push notifications about them periodically appear, annoying and do not turn off when ads are turned off. Some online integrations are not disabled. 10. The sound through the 3.5 jack is so-so, better through BT. Looks like a bad DAC. 11. Speakers, although stereo, the sound is not so hot, the feeling is spoiled by the fact that the upper speaker is quieter than the bottom one. 12. Conversational speaker, ringing and sharp sound. 13. The camera from the ULTRA PREMIUM box is degraded. Out of the box, yes, tolerably. Who wants high quality, put a Google camera. For those who want a normal video, it is better to buy a more expensive smartphone. 14. 5000 mAh battery, complete charger charges 4500 mAh. 15. Fast charging is only compatible with Mi Turbo Charge standard 16. There are problems with Miracast, video from the gallery does not play, ating and resetting the firmware did not help. 17. The fingerprint sensor does not always work, and is located in the place where you usually take the phone, which leads to cases when you take the phone from the table and it does not recognize it 1000 times and you have to enter a PIN code. 18. The flashlight cannot be adjusted in brightness.

Some pros: Price quality. Works fast, does not hang. The camera is decent. Its cons: During a call, the sensors do not work well to turn off the screen. The buttons on the screen keep pressing.
