What reviewers say

Both reviews praise the main camera, display and rapid charging, while criticising MIUI and the weak supporting rear cameras. Tech Advisor considers it excellent value and likes its selfies; Expert Reviews questions the higher price and finds the selfie camera and low-light processing less convincing. Everyday battery life satisfies both.
