I think this phone is getting a lot of undeserved hate and I will list why I think so.

1) Performance: Most people are saying that it only supports 30fps on PUBG etc and that you can't game on this chip and it is unlike redmi. You are right. However, look at the market and you will find xiaomi has no other choice. To keep it under $200 in this market, all you get is a SD 680 or Helio G88.

It is not xiaomi's fault either. It is the chipset makers fault. They are bringing out new chipsets with names that look newer ( G96 vs G95, 680 vs 678, G88 vs G85) but they are nothing more than downgrades or just the same chips with different names. Moreover, they are not selling old chipsets as much due to shortages and new ones are sold at higher prices. Therefore, xiaomi has no choice but to use this.

If Xiaomi used G88, they would have to use emmc 5.1 storage which is quite slow and old and isn't deserving anymore.

2) Camera: People say that camera is not as good. Again, you are right but look deeper. Redmi Note 10 had 4k Video and this does not. SD 680 doesn't support 4k video. Whose fault? Qualcomms, not xiaomi. I can understand that camera quality might not be great but it's the reason why xiaomi has a 108MP 11s for 50$ more for the camera enthusiast. More about this later.

A downgrade over Note 10 series: Correct. Imagine if you were making dinner for recipe. You had to use the same ingredients you used last time. But now the ingredients are expensive but you gotta keep the total cost same. Yes, you can't change math now. So, you gotta use ingredients that are of a lower cost to keep the total cost same. This is the problem these days. All the parts have had their prices increased. And to keep the prices constant, there had to be some downgrades. It is not Xiaomi's fault, it is just how it is.

Basically, point is, the phone is for people who don't care about super enthusiastic photography and don't want to play games. They just want a simple solid phone that has a good battery life, charges fast, has a great display, stereo speakers, overall a good phone. For a good camera and gaming, you can spend $50 more for the 11s, fair enough I'd say. They had to segment after all.

Overall, Xiaomi was forced to make some decisions. Everybody knows that Xiaomi makes about 1% profit on their phones hardware. Thus, they would put the best they can. Which I think they did. 90Hz AMOLED under $200? Oppo gives that for 400+. Basically, xiaomi had set a high standard for themselves over the years but this year, due to external factors they could not live up to their own standards and thus people are bashing them.

You will probably have to wait for the same bang for buck phones that the redmi note 10 series/ Poco X3/F3 series were as supply chain issues look nowhere near to be ending.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

          My favorite brand is redmi but today I have been deceived. The biggest problem with this network is VoLTE. When VoLTE enabled SMS is not received. Due to this, my app was blocked.

                    Was waiting for this but after reactions on Youtube I'm very disappointed.
                    First waited for RN10 but too many problems with proximity sensor.

                    I think, after 8 years, Xiaomi is not my brand anymore
