Bottom line: Suits buyers wanting a tough, long-lasting phone with fast charging and a large screen on a mid-range budget. Trade-offs are software clutter, modest performance under heavy load, and a camera setup without a telephoto lens.

4/5Nov 5, 2026

A very tough mid-range phone with huge battery and fast charging, but sluggish performance and rough software hold it back.

  • Strong drop resistance up to 2.5m with SGS certification
  • IP68 and IP69K dust and water resistance
  • 6,500mAh battery lasts for days
  • 100W charging fills battery in about 40 minutes
  • 200MP main camera takes strong daylight shots
  • HyperOS shows ads and bloatware
  • Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 stutters in daily use
  • No telephoto lens and mediocre ultra-wide
  • Poor selfie video
  • Aggressive auto-dimming hurts outdoor visibility

3.5/5Feb 24, 2026

A reasonable mid-range Android phone with zippy performance, a large sharp OLED screen and a detailed 200MP camera. Battery life is strong, but the ad-heavy OS and rivals' better software…

  • Excellent battery life
  • Reasonable price to performance
  • Vivid, detailed OLED screen
  • Lightweight polycarbonate frame with strong IP ratings
  • Natural-looking 200MP main camera images
  • Ad-riddled OS leaves a poor impression
  • Much more expensive than its predecessor
  • No telephoto lens; digital zoom weak
  • Middling performance for the price
  • Optical fingerprint sensor less accurate than ultrasonic

3.5/5Feb 4, 2026

  • Large battery with good endurance and fast charging
  • High-quality AMOLED display with high peak brightness
  • Good value for the 12GB/512GB configuration
  • Performance hits limits with demanding apps and split screen
  • Camera setup is limited; only two rear lenses
  • Ships with Android 15 instead of Android 16
  • Cluttered Xiaomi software with many preinstalled apps
  • Video capped at 30fps in 4K; no 60fps

No scoreJan 27, 2026

A good phone with a premium-feeling build, fast charging and strong battery life, but its high price and rivals like the POCO M8 Pro make it a poor buy.

  • Slim, elegant aluminum build with IP69K rating
  • Very fast 100W wired charging
  • Good AMOLED display with 120Hz and high brightness
  • Main 200MP camera delivers detailed photos
  • Strong battery life, up to about three days
  • UFS 2.2 storage feels slow for the price
  • Ultrawide camera results are underwhelming
  • Only 8MP secondary sensor, no telephoto
  • No wireless charging
  • High price in a competitive market

3.5/5Jan 20, 2026

A durable, long-lasting, fast-charging mid-range phone with a strong screen and good value, though performance and cameras trail some rivals.

  • Durable build with IP66/68 rating and tough screen glass
  • Large, high-quality AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh
  • Large battery with fast 100W wired charging
  • Good value compared with Pixel 9a and Galaxy S25 FE
  • Performance slightly behind rivals under heavy multitasking
  • Limited cameras; only two real rear sensors
  • Older Android 15 software out of the box
  • Battery life below similar high-end phones
