What reviewers say

Both reviews praise the design, everyday performance and value, but criticise aspects of MIUI and its notifications. PhoneArena finds roughly two-day battery life and useful night photography, while Tech Advisor gets about one day and struggles with low-light shots. PhoneArena also reports unreliable video autofocus.
