What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

3/5Feb 17, 2023

A budget phone with a bright, high-refresh display and good design, but weak cameras, sluggish performance and middling battery life make it only an alright choice.

  • Bright 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display
  • Large 5,000mAh battery
  • Sleek, lightweight, curvy design
  • Headphone jack and IR blaster included
  • Good value for a budget phone
  • Main camera photos dark and muted
  • Poor zoom and macro camera quality
  • Stutters in everyday use and gaming
  • Cluttered MIUI 13 software
  • Middling battery life and slow charging

Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
