What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the detailed cameras, bright display, long battery life and fast charging. TechAdvisor and Android Central criticise MIUI's interface and update policy, while Tom's Guide likes its layout but objects to preinstalled apps. TechAdvisor finds the heavy body and large camera bump awkward; Tom's Guide finds graphics performance behind some rivals.
