      I have never tested myself but considering this device "only" renders it's screen in 1080P I believe you should be okey anyway.

      But I'm not sure since I never tested it myself.

        i don't like the whites on the cameras, their way is like this for years now, so washed out,yet on video so god damn vivid that your eyes hurt!also,to upthe price so much but don't even have ip rating...i mean how do you want to go against the big names without ip rating in this price range?!not to mention the faceid that not even the 1400usd s20 ultra does not have...so much money they ask and they don't offer some basic features...oh,and also, to not be able to switch from one cameras to another while filming this is sooo stupid now....if you're going to go after the money,you have to offer some features that match the price you're asking!

USB 2.0 is the bare minimum protocol for type-C. File transfers over Wifi is still a lot slower than USB 3.0. The main question would still boil down to, why wouldn't they? Knowing Xiaomi's own portfolio of flagship devices, I have no hope for faster I/O over USB.

                  If you want to share files between computer and cellphone, you usually use AirDroid so you can share files over wifi.
                  Backups don't need usb connection either.

                      Punch-hole selfie camera, pop-up selfie camera, curved edges display - it's "no buy" for any smartphone from any company.
                      Also, "macro" and "depth" sensors are stupid, lack of autofocus on ultra-wide camera is stupid.

                              I know that sacrifices might be necessary, but small sized phones are easier to handle even if they're slightly thicker, even 10 mm thick is good. Mainboard stacking is a common practice these days, so internals will fit.

                                  It has 4x optical.
                                  10x is lossless zoom. Even 30x is pretty usable since details captured are better than any other telephoto on the market.
                                  100x is a gimmick though and you see considerable loss in quality.

I asked her why she used such an old phone. She told me that it was the last iPhone that wasn't too large to hold comfortably with her short fingers. Apple still supports the iPhone SE with iOS updates, and even its predecessor the iPhone 6S (2015).

                                        The SE is just under 6 cm wide, whereas most new phones these days are around 7.5 cm wide. According to statistics from Sep last year, the most used iPhone is the iPhone 7 (67×138 mm) by a wide margin, followed by the 6s (same size as SE). Not long after is the unsupported iPhone 6.
                                        Statistic also say that women tend to prefer the iPhone over Android, and we all know that women in general have smaller hands than men have.
                                        Maybe there is a pattern here!
