The worst phone I've ever had. Not in terms of specs but the quirks of the MiUI are too numerous eg never ever tap reboot but restart instead. Reboot KOs the phone, pressing the power button for a long while does nothing and neither power + volume up or down. The phone went out at around 78% battery, waited almost 24 hours before charging, after 3 hours of charging did the power button become responsive again. Battery level was at 62%. What's worse is this happened to me while at work!!! Imagine not having access to your phone til the next day. Could have tried to open the back cover to reconnect the battery but since even the oldest phone is still under warranty, that is something i don't want to do. Since that happened the first time, I wasn't aware and tried rebooting again. Same nonsense all over again.
Also the display is the most sensitive ever. If the cable touches the screen while unlocked, expect a lot of accidental launching of apps. And talking about apps, I've had ads in games that are able to bypass the volume control and play at the loudest volume even to this day. The only solution I've found is to constantly plug in an earphone.
I have yet to resolve the hotspot problem of the phone to my laptop. Hotspot seems to be able to connect to every device i've tried except my laptop. Only tethering seem to work to gain access to data usage on the laptop.
Overall, this phone is a 3/10. If it wasn't for the price vs specs aspect, i would've given a worse score. Staying away from Xiaomi phones in the future.

I will never buy any Xiaomi phones again!
I regretted buying this phone after 1 day.
There are 7 different "system apps" with permission to the recorder and there is no way to disable this!
why is there a system app called karaoke that I cannot disable its permissions?
Why do I need to create a Mi account and enter a sim card and wait 1 month in order to gain access to the boot loader? so I won't be able to remove Xiaomi spyware without them knowing my phone number...WTF!?
They are bluntly spying on users!!!
Karaoke app my *ss.

I just bought this phone. camera is good 48mp not like flagship but good I used j2 6 before. compared to that is a huge leap now I can take usable shots in night. Battery life is awesome. I am a heavy user and gives me 1 whole day of constant usage. Performance is something to be desired but normal gaming and internet app usage is good. I just wish camera and video had more features like brightness adjustment and at least software based image stabilization. Happy with the product 🙂

thanks everyone, now i know for sure to stay away from xiaomi, and budget phones in general.
every budget device xiaomi has released recently, note 10 series, poco x3/f3, poco m3/m3 pro, mi 11 lite, by reading all the comments on this website, all have some sort of dumb issue that appears to the effect of cost cutting or buggy software (flickering display, black crush, proximity and gyro issues, loudspeaker issues, miUI bug and lag issues, etc etc etc)
it seems xiaomi lately has some qc issues
i think better to just go for old flagships or devices like from 2019 or so (mi 9/k20), still enough power and good specs

After three days when I updated the miui, my phone turned on by doing a hard reboot while it's plugged into a charger in an outlet. I will never buy this phone again, ever.

"had that issue too , it would crash shorty after it booted, it would mention something with location. so what i did was hold down and power button to get into recovery mode , and reset phone, DO NOT activate location until sim card has been fully set, after i did that i was also able to duel sim it , i bought my phone in january of 2021 and thought i had a defective phone but since than ,ive had no issues with anything , pretty good for the price"

i fixed the problem with battery draining. i updated to miui 12.09 and now i'm charging the battery for 3 additional hours more after the battery is 100% full. no night battery drain, no battery problem at all.
