Let's start with the most glaring negative about this handset and then explain why that's not a big deal for me.
Phone has two different cells, which allows the insane charging speeds you see. In order to keep the phone thin for daily driving and offer 120w charging, the capacity was sacrificed. Also, keep in mind that this phone has amazing quad speakers and one of the best vibration motors out there, which take space. Same goes for the pop-up triggers.
For all of the reasons and more, the battery life had to take a hit. I'm more than happy with it. Yes, you cannot game for hours, but nor should you. This is a daily driver flagship killer with the ability to play games like a pro when you have an hour or two (I got this for Genshin Impact and Hearthstone to complete my daily stuff on the go if need be).
I bought it with this in mind. I rarely get more than 30 minutes during my working day to play games and at home, I use a gaming PC/console or am very close to the charger (you plug it in, go for a snack and by the time you are back you are good to go).
MIUI, you either like it or hate it. At this point I've been using Xiaomi's OS for more than 4 years, and I don't know any better. Rarely had issues with it.
Cameras are a bit disappointing, but that's more to do with the software rather than anything else. GCam is a must here, dial up the settings for display and sound (Dolby on for integrated speakers, and off for headphones) and this right here, when on sale (399 pounds for the 12/256 extended to 15GB ram) this is the best new(ish) phone on the market, period.
No wireless charging.
For how much I paid for this, I wouldn't even contemplate complaining about anything. I've mentioned the "shortcomings" just in case you care about them.

Crazy, 14 Sep 2022Does this phone has a Dolby vision?It doesn't support Dolby Vision, but support HDR 10. Audio wise it support Dolby Atmos.
So, on Netflix playback wise, it does support HDR 10 - HEVC and Dolby Atmos surround sound.
You might wonder if you can see much different between Dolby Vision and HDR 10, I would say on such small screen, not much different. Kudos to Netflix, I think many movie doesn't optimized for HDR viewing, some HDR video could be worse than viewing non-HDR version.

Mumbo7879, 24 Sep 2022A gaming phone that does not run games ... Ark mobile . Rin... moreSound like those game you played are high graphic demanding game that need serious optimization and tuning so that it can run smoothly on the smartphone that you played on. I would comment on the poor gaming optimization rather than the smartphone itself. Or on another way of saying, maybe smartphone still not there yet for proper/serious gaming, plenty of tuning need to be done between game developer, smartphone developer, Android OS developer.

Sin , 11 Sep 2022Good point I agree 5000mah or even bigger would be good... moreUnless you wish to pay more for 6000mah battery and also prepare for heavier phone. I would say for the budget and 120W charging, this hit a sweet spot between battery size and fast charging, so you could rest a while. The alternative solution is, you might opt for normal 18W or 27W QC3.0 or PD3.0 for continue gaming without getting too hot from charging, any newer powerbank which support QC3.0 or PD3.0 is a good choice.

Very good phone but sound is lower than what you expect from 4 speakers.
And SD slot would be a killer...
Rest of things are very nice.

luvfreak99 , 10 Sep 20225000 mAh should be the standard for Gaming phones right now... moreGood point I agree
5000mah or even bigger would be good
A 6000mah battery in asu Rog and it's normal thickness
But even a 9000mah in a gaming smartphone won't be out of place gaming smartphone will use a lot more battery life then normal smartphones and really should be monsters

5000 mAh should be the standard for Gaming phones right now. 120 watts charger is good but why compromise for slightly lower battery when u can have it 5000?we don't mind slightly thicker phone which will be even hard to notice! The more power the better!

Spectr3, 02 Sep 2022I agree with what Emanake stated “a decent external radiato... moreYour logic don't work
Both gaming laptops and gaming pc have cooling fans
Passive cooling is just not good enough
It's a must for a gaming smartphone too have built-in fans with high rpm
The new processor need too get faster and more powerful so they will generate more heat
Snapdragon processor really need better performance so badly they've got beat apple in performance at least
Possibly extreme overclocked processors are needed maybe a super flagship processor
Adding Water resistants only mades phones harder to repair so you can't change the battery
Same problem as too why fast changers shouldn't exist
battery health degrades faster
Water resistants
can easily be fixed with a water proof case
That is probably the best solution
About battery life there is a point too be made here
Better effectively will benefit most normal people more
A though battery in smartphones are way too small in the first place so yeah
So put a 9000 mah battery in a smartphone
Right about now only Nubia & Lenovo make gaming phones that can control there temperatures with fans
Without fans the Nubia red magic phone wouldn't be much good anymore it be no better then the asu Rog phones

Sin, 12 Aug 2022I think all gaming smartphone should have cooling fans
O... moreI agree with what Emanake stated “a decent external radiator fan! ”
Hopefully the next generation of gaming phones will have a very cool/cold liquid solution sealed in carbon fibre and in copper heat plates above cpu/chipset that will negate need of cooling fans or external fans forever! Internal cooling fans kill any real dust or water resistance to be relied upon and being a mobile phone with high retail costs - as a primary device - nobody should have to feel restricted when being outside to use their phone (gaming or otherwise).
Hera to hoping technology advances further as RedMagic is pushing the envelope to cooling with fans but I’m sure they can finally do better next year without internal fans.
Qualcomm needs to increase on battery efficiency gpu performance and reduce heat to another level. 2023 hopefully major strides happen in these areas as they’ll be learning from smaller DEV desktops for upcoming Microsoft Windows ARM dev kit for PC.

Unc.Wann, 28 Aug 2022Virtual ram is a gimmicky.
Ram have more faster speed comp... moreYou have no idea what you’re talking about.
With RAM speeds being fast skiing with storage to match those speed virtual RAM can assist applications or games or system processes on a device with low RAM (8/10GB RAM) yet with significant storage (256/512GB storage) to perform like a device with higher RAM, or even slower RAM on another device with more ram.
Servers on Windows/Linux/Unix have been doing this for years!
macOS since the introduction of their Apple Silicon chips using RISC (basic cpu class used in all smartphones since SymbianOs like Nokia’s S60 era).
Soon all windows Intel or AMD CPU’s will have either RISC instruction set + CISC (x86-64) or RISC-V in roughly 2-4yrs from now.
CPU’s have had L2 catch RAM to help processes for decades and now camera sensors by Sony has the past 1-2yrs for faster AI processing to enhance pictures in real time vs post processing.
Please learn about the technology before talking nonsense verbatim.
