  • “I have this phone since April which I got it for 240€ the 4G 6/128 version 120hz amoled screen 1800nits 6+6GB RAM HyperOS which makes it faster Now it's faster with HyperOS 2 CPU and GPU are decent for light tasks Dolby atmos sound 108MP main camera and 16MP front which is pretty good for the price but the video is mid Also it comes with the 33W charger and a case Battery lasts a lot Worth every dime”

  • “My experience with redmi was trash September 2021 : Bought Redmi Note 10 (albeit 4gb ram only) Next major software update and absolute worst software experience, glitch UI, can't manage even 2 apps like chrome and WhatsApp in ram, each call gives phone a seizure( literally doesn't respond any touchs) AND all that on a 1 year old phone 😑 April 2023 : Phone motherboard failure non recoverable damage Display and camera was Good though Software was NIGHTMARE”

  • “After a year of usage: Battery life hasn't decreased much, barely noticeable after this time though I was careful with charging meaning that I wasn't charging at night (rarely) and I was trying to keep it below 85% and always above 20% It's the healthiest for the lithium-iron battery The camera is good or even very good for not very demanding user like myself, just enough to post sth on Instagram etc. Video has some noise, and it's not 4K, but I'm satisfied with 1080p, optical stabilization is present too Screen is vibrant and there has been none color changes A couple of lags, buggy animations and audio disruption is visible”
