What reviewers say

Tech Advisor and Trusted Reviews praise the performance and sharp, smooth screen, but criticise MIUI's clutter and weak auxiliary cameras. Tech Advisor is happier with the main camera; Trusted Reviews finds better photography elsewhere. Both report all-day battery life, with Trusted Reviews noting higher drain at full screen resolution.
