The phone is a good price, good size, is a good weight and has good battery and runs the Android One OS with Google News that I really like (previously having an A1 and A2 too). For me the big problem is if bluetooth is turned on, then the WiFi signal and internet speed drops to almost nothing and becomes completely unusable, where it will then use 4G data (if Mobile Data is turned on) as a result and use that instead of the WiFi. I was unsure if I had a dud phone or this is a common issue, but I found a few other forum posts that reported the same problem and without any resolution or fix except to be told the bluetooth and wifi share the same antenna on the phone, but it still seems odd how I did not have this issue on the previous phones and more people have not complained about this happening. Xiaomi no longer make a Android One model, and after trying a phone with their own OS I did not like it so I will probably be getting the 5g Nokia with Android One next.

Somehow after July update gps in google.maps got screwed. Αt first was fixed after a restart , now its just hit and miss. Also compass needs calibration like every other day. Maybe the chip is failing? I don't know but all wireless was very buggy from the beginning in this phone. including wifi, BT and gps. Actually it's wifi is almost useless for me, the range is ridiculous.

The best mobile in the market. I don't want to jinx it but it's still working fine while some are using iPhone 12 & so on. Hope Mi gives Android 12 update.

I'm just going to directly come clean here: "techies" who prefer MIUI over stock AOSP UI are complete idiots. I use this phone and also a Poco X3 Pro side by side and I really couldn't grasp the whole appeal of MIUI. Not only it's laggy under intensive use, it's not even memory-efficient, not forgetting the built-in ads that you can't fully turn off. I still keep this phone as my secondary backup phone, but I have completely flashed the Poco with a custom ROM and OpenGApps and never look back. No more MIUI for me.

For the price paid, this phone offered so much for almost two years now. I wouldnt complain about it because it was the best i could get my hands on for 37000LKR. This was the only budget phone that offered under display fingerprint scan during the time of release. I have decided to upgrade but I dont see much options in the same price range that offers no bloatware or runs on stock android. Any advice?

I may suggest you try out Gcam mods from a modder called "Parrot043" or "cstark27".. But expect some lacking features such as Slow Mo (but the overall experience is worth it in my opinion).
Yeah the battery is good, but the sad thing is that it used to be "excellent" before android 10.

Anonymous, 28 Jul 2021I have this phone for like 1½ year, and this is my review. ... moreThe Bluetooth chip on this phone seems weaker than average, but not terrible in my experience.. However, the problem you've mentioned has to do with the phone's powerhouse as a whole, the CPU is an old midranger and the RAM is not sufficient for even basic multitasking. Make sure to close unused app more often (I know that's annoying, but we have to manage the resources wisely), and don't expect much from this processor in general. Unfortunately, we are getting what we paid for, and Xiaomi is making it worse by their messed up updates.

After using it for almost 2 years if i could go back in time i would NOT buy this phone . For someone who isnt tech savvy id expect a decent camera but this phone has bad focus features and it has happened a few times where it takes green photos and can only be fixed when u restart the phone. The full android feature can be tedious too. Playing games arent as satisfying too (graphic wise). The only good thing about this phone tbh is the battery life it can last a full day or 3/4 of the day even with use after 2 years.
