What reviewers say

Both reviews praise the display, main camera and fast charging, but criticise cluttered MIUI software and the ultrawide camera. Tech Advisor likes the selfie and macro cameras, while Expert Reviews finds both weaker. Both consider it a capable midrange choice, though strong competition limits its appeal.
