The Chinese company Xiaomi still does not forget to surprise its fans with a number of smartphones that change the state of affairs in the price segment. However, the number of such models is definitely not the same as at the very beginning of the corporation's activity. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is not one of them and is ready to truly attract the audience only with its attractive appearance.
The exterior of the new product is beautiful thanks to the original colors of the rear panels and a round massive block of photo modules, which is usually found in flagships. The presence of a side fingerprint sensor is also pleasing. The front surface evokes less positive emotions. The 13-megapixel selfie camera meets with a frankly outdated design, the frames of the 6.88-inch IPS display are visible to the naked eye. The resolution of 1640x720 pixels indicates mediocre image clarity, but the brightness reserve of 600+ nits, 120 Hz refresh rate and realistic color rendition characterize the IPS panel from the good side.
The technical characteristics were the "new" MediaTek Helio G81 CPU, 4 GB / 6 GB / 8 GB RAM and the Mali G52MC2 video adapter. As you already understood, this is a slightly modified G80 chip, which will soon be five years old. You should not expect excellent performance from the processor. 250 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark mean relatively smooth operation of the Android 14 interface (HyperOS shell), but you should not expect the same from resource-intensive games. The same Genshin Impact and Fortnite are full of lags at minimum graphics settings. The size of the permanent memory can be allocated 128/256 GB, it is allowed to expand them with MicroSD cards. The battery capacity has been increased to a not shameful 5160 mAh, so the level of autonomy has reached 9-10 hours of active screen time. But the charging power of only 18 W will make you stay near the outlet for about 150 minutes.
Do not count on excellent photographic capabilities of 50 and 2-megapixel main cameras. The main sensor is still capable of creating more or less high-quality pictures in daylight, but you will not be able to avoid noise and blur in the evening. There is no stereo sound, but for music lovers there is a jack for wired headphones. There are also contactless payments NFC and an IR port for controlling household appliances, which seriously expand the functionality of the device. Thus, we have a balanced and competitive gadget, which lacks the power of the chipset and the best cameras to be called a future hit.
