    This review is about the colour: Green

    I have had it for 2 years, I bought it for €270. With what I have experienced with it and it with me, you shouldn't throw it away! If you do, you cause it serious damage because then it changes character. It doesn't break easily, it has taken some good hits and hasn't broken, but be careful. It's a phone not for a long time, only for 2 to 3 years depending on how you use it. For me it was ok, a mid-range phone overall 6/10

    So, I've had the phone for quite a few years and the only thing I'm not satisfied with is that when I bought it, it said it had NFC, and even though all the settings open, it hasn't worked since day 1*. Nevertheless, the phone is a beast!! The battery easily lasts me all day even after all this time with continuous use!! And gaming!! Some drawbacks: photos in the dark need a lot of editing to get a good result, or sometimes none at all in rooms with 'room smoke.' The selfie camera doesn't open now—I don't know if it got damaged from too many drops, but I bought it for 200 and it's worth the money. I would give it 5/5, but the NFC is a deal-breaker for me and I wouldn't have chosen it if I had known (now they mention that it doesn't have it)

    Having had this phone for 3 years, it did its job just fine but now it is very slow, so if you get it, expect that you will have to change it after 2-3 years

    This review is about the colour: Black

    I've had it for about a year and a half, no complaints. The only issue is sometimes in the car when it's mounted on the dashboard (in the sun) and charging at the same time, it shuts down due to overheating - but this has never happened under other conditions. For my needs - where I don't require "exotic" features from my phone, it's excellent. The photo quality is very good, as well as its durability in everyday "careless" handling (it has been dropped several times). As for the battery life, it has obviously decreased somewhat compared to the original, but it is still very good for my moderate use.

    Owner of 4 xiaomi of the same category as this one. The phone is the definition of mediocrity. Speakers that are anything but loud, a very mediocre camera for its time, a processor that is sufficient only for the basics. For the first time, I see a phone that when you put sound on a video on fb it freezes and needs to reload. For this money, I have gotten better xiaomi phones.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    Compared to the Redmi 9 Pro that I had, since I have no other point of comparison, it is worse in everything except for the higher resolution of the camera and the better screen. So it's only a matter of time before I change it.

    Positives:
    - Good photo resolution (108mp)
    - Bright and good screen (even compared to the iPhone 13, it is better)
    - Lightweight
    - 256GB space is sufficient
    - Value for money since I bought it for €175 and with an additional 2 years warranty, I consider it a good price.

    Negatives:
    - The focus on the camera is quite slow and often does not focus at all, and it also does not focus at a distance of less than 18cm.
    - Video 1080/30fps only and poor quality when the light diminishes. Of course, without stabilizer.
    - Its battery lasts barely a day with moderate use (with battery saving). With heavier use, it needs at least one charge.
    - Speaker not very good

    I have had the phone for about a year. Overall, it is average to good. Someone might find something slightly better for their money. It recently received the new Xiaomi operating system but I don't see any drastic difference. The Xiaomi website says it will have support until early 2027. The packaging includes everything. Overall, I am satisfied but I wouldn't buy it again.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    I have had this phone for less than a year and it has started to freeze and overheat in my hands. I bought it for 280€ from a German store and I honestly regret spending that money. The speaker has been terrible from day one, nobody can hear me. I do not recommend this phone because there are better options available for less money. It's a shame, especially coming from Xiaomi. The only things I liked, even just a little, were the battery and the camera.

The only issue is sometimes in the car when it's mounted on the dashboard (in the sun) and charging at the same time, it shuts down due to overheating - but this has never happened under other conditions. For my needs - where I don't require "exotic" features from my phone, it's excellent. The photo quality is very good, as well as its durability in everyday "careless" handling (it has been dropped several times). As for the battery life, it has obviously decreased somewhat compared to the original, but it is still very good for my moderate use.

    This review is about the colour: Green

    I have had it for 2 years, I bought it for €270. With what I have experienced with it and it with me, you shouldn't throw it away! If you do, you cause it serious damage because then it changes character. It doesn't break easily, it has taken some good hits and hasn't broken, but be careful. It's a phone not for a long time, only for 2 to 3 years depending on how you use it. For me it was ok, a mid-range phone overall 6/10

    So, I've had the phone for quite a few years and the only thing I'm not satisfied with is that when I bought it, it said it had NFC, and even though all the settings open, it hasn't worked since day 1*. Nevertheless, the phone is a beast!! The battery easily lasts me all day even after all this time with continuous use!! And gaming!! Some drawbacks: photos in the dark need a lot of editing to get a good result, or sometimes none at all in rooms with 'room smoke.' The selfie camera doesn't open now—I don't know if it got damaged from too many drops, but I bought it for 200 and it's worth the money. I would give it 5/5, but the NFC is a deal-breaker for me and I wouldn't have chosen it if I had known (now they mention that it doesn't have it)

    This review is about colour: Black, memory: 6/128GB

    Having had this phone for 3 years, it did its job just fine but now it is very slow, so if you get it, expect that you will have to change it after 2-3 years

    Excellent phone for its category! Very good screen, fast response and comfortable RAM for multitasking. The camera takes clear photos, especially in good light, and the battery easily lasts the day. The 256GB storage space is a huge plus. And the color, simply impressive!

    Owner of 4 xiaomi of the same category as this one. The phone is the definition of mediocrity. Speakers that are anything but loud, a very mediocre camera for its time, a processor that is sufficient only for the basics. For the first time, I see a phone that when you put sound on a video on fb it freezes and needs to reload. For this money, I have gotten better xiaomi phones.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    Compared to the Redmi 9 Pro that I had, since I have no other point of comparison, it is worse in everything except for the higher resolution of the camera and the better screen. So it's only a matter of time before I change it.

    Positives:
    - Good photo resolution (108mp)
    - Bright and good screen (even compared to the iPhone 13, it is better)
    - Lightweight
    - 256GB space is sufficient
    - Value for money since I bought it for €175 and with an additional 2 years warranty, I consider it a good price.

    Negatives:
    - The focus on the camera is quite slow and often does not focus at all, and it also does not focus at a distance of less than 18cm.
    - Video 1080/30fps only and poor quality when the light diminishes. Of course, without stabilizer.
    - Its battery lasts barely a day with moderate use (with battery saving). With heavier use, it needs at least one charge.
    - Speaker not very good

    I have had the phone for about a year. Overall, it is average to good. Someone might find something slightly better for their money. It recently received the new Xiaomi operating system but I don't see any drastic difference. The Xiaomi website says it will have support until early 2027. The packaging includes everything. Overall, I am satisfied but I wouldn't buy it again.

    This review is about the colour: Black

    I have had this phone for less than a year and it has started to freeze and overheat in my hands. I bought it for 280€ from a German store and I honestly regret spending that money. The speaker has been terrible from day one, nobody can hear me. I do not recommend this phone because there are better options available for less money. It's a shame, especially coming from Xiaomi. The only things I liked, even just a little, were the battery and the camera.
