Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The AMOLED 120Hz display is the standout feature users can't stop praising. Many commenters specifically bought or considered buying this phone because of its AMOLED screen with high refresh rate, calling it flagship-level and rare at this price point. Several compared it favorably to Samsung's A-series and other budget rivals, noting competitors only offered IPS or lower resolution panels. The combination of AMOLED plus 120Hz was repeatedly described as unprecedented for a budget segment device.

Battery life and charging speed impressed most owners, though degradation appears over time. The 5000mAh battery paired with 33W fast charging was called ideal by multiple users, and one long-term owner said it outlasted other phones despite heavy use. However, a nearly three-year owner reported battery life dropping from two days to about eight hours, while still calling it better than expected for its age. Overall reception remained positive despite this natural wear.

Camera quality is solid for the price but not flawless, especially in low light. Several users praised the main camera and macro lens as an upgrade over previous budget phones, and one cited another review favorably comparing its low-light performance to flagships. However, other commenters found night mode photo quality mediocre or worse than a previous Xiaomi model, and one noted needing manual adjustments and beautify filters to get acceptable results, showing inconsistent experiences.
