What reviewers say

Reviewers praise performance, display quality and main-camera photos, while criticising MIUI quirks. Tech Advisor finds the fingerprint reader reliable and battery life sufficient for a day; TechRadar reports an unreliable reader and poorer endurance. TechRadar enjoys the macro camera more, while Tech Advisor finds close-up framing and sharpness harder to get right.
