What reviewers say

Reviewers like the light, slim body, bright OLED screen and smooth everyday performance, though heavier gaming is limited. Their audio and software impressions differ; AndroidGuys likes the speakers’ fullness and welcoming customisation, while Notebookcheck finds the sound thin and MIUI’s advertisements irritating. Both find the main camera useful in daylight.
