4/5Mar 9, 2023

A compact flagship with top-tier performance, excellent display and capable cameras, though it lacks a telephoto lens, IP rating and expandable storage.

  • Flagship-grade Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 performance
  • Compact, comfortable one-handed design
  • Fast wired and wireless charging
  • Bright, smooth 120Hz display with HDR10+
  • Strong main camera in varied lighting
  • MIUI skin has many quirks
  • No dedicated telephoto camera
  • No IP rating or expandable storage
  • Zoom and ultra-wide images noticeably weaker
  • Selfies washed out in some scenes
