User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

Bought this phone from China in August last year, but I eventually received it almost exactly two months later due to logistics delay.

I normally use phones with great care (mine still looks like brand new), but I even became more careful with handling when I first read of the fingerprint issue.

Mine is still on MIUI 12.5.5. I've refused to upgrade—seeing as many that have the fingerprint issue said that it started after an update—in hope to avoid losing fingerprint.

Well, it started last weekend. Fingerprint started acting up. Hit and miss. It has progressively gotten worse. Works only about 20% of the time now. I'm very disappointed, because I normally use phones for, at least, 2 years. Last one was Redmi Note 7. But I was even planning to use this one for longer. SMH.

Losing the FPS will greatly affect how I log into apps and websites—unlocking is actually the least of my concerns .Going back to typing login details feels like returning to bad times; regression. This is simply bad. Never had fingerprint issue in any of 2 phones with it that I've used prior to this, and this is supposed to be the best of them. Costliest, certainly. And I don't want to take this to a repair shop to change the sensor. Aside that it'd likely happen again, going by what I've read from a couple of affected users online, I don't like getting my phone decoupled. At all.

Even with the best convincing, I don't see myself buying another Xiaomi after this. Yes, it's the very first real issue I've had with a Xiaomi phone, but it's a big one.

        The battery of this phone gives me 8 hours of battery, it's so good; that is if you just let the 60hz mode enabled, 90hz won't give you that many hours.

          Got this phone today, 8GB of RAM version. I've been using it for a few hours now, can't say much but I like it. The first impressions tho... I started to think about replacing it because holly cow, when I just got it out of the box and started all the setup stuff etc. it literally overheated, it got so hot I even got a message saying 'phone is overheating, going to 60hz from 90hz' it was crazy hot and I was like what? straight outta the box and it overheated on setting up the phone. Now it's good tho, not long after, after restarting and upgrading to MIUI 13 (first thing to do) it's fine now.

            Ebay gem, I brag that it's snapdragon 5nm & software seems quite non-intrusive
            Details that impress me w this phone-
            The card slot drawer has a tab that holds the sims in place on either side
            Software lets you set easily which sim is for data, mms, voice
            low light photo is even better than Sony was doing in 2019
            The only cons I see are it's too light, and too thin, I can't find anything that's near the 80mm wide screen on my old af Sony xperia XA2 Ultra, that doesn't work in the US as a phone anymore due to the FCC 3g shutdown - ewaste is apparently not a worry

                  Hope that now, it's fixed and you have a better experience with your phone.
                  Please let me know.

                    Hi guys,
                    I'm planning to buy this phone.
                    However, in the posts and also on the internet I noticed that Xiaomi has removed the faulty fingerprint sensor temporarily in order to fix it. Has this problem already been fixed?
                    Thank you in advance for your response.
