Another Xiaomi in my hands with a positive impression. NOTE 4, MIX 2, NOTE 9 and now this one. Let's go through the positives that some may be looking for, like myself before purchasing:
- Supports 4G calls & wifi calling, as it does on the NOVA it will do it on other networks.
- Comes with a case and charger in the package, and it's 33w and supports turbocharge.
- Specifically gives 2% every minute, so if you plug it in at 30% in 10 minutes you're at 50%.
- If you don't play games and don't have it in your hands all the time, the battery lasts easily for 2 days. But if you have it constantly on with Bluetooth, wifi, data, GPS, maximum brightness, music, video, and games, don't expect it to last the whole day. And don't forget that next to the word mobile there is the word PHONE, and as such we should evaluate it.
- The screen is very bright in daylight with a wide range in automatic adjustment, perhaps the only one I've found that darkens enough not to bother the eye in low light at night.
- NFC, infrared, androidauto, work perfectly.
The negatives:
- Like other Xiaomi phones I've had, you need to disable ads in almost every application. If done correctly, everything is fine.
- It has some strange connection with the factory cable and charger. Only with these I managed to achieve turbocharge. With other chargers or cables, it's only max fast charge... The strange thing is that I even used genuine Huawei 5 & 6A cables, but nothing.
- DOES NOT HAVE notification LED.
I think at 209€ there aren't many worthwhile alternatives.
I bought it, replacing my old Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 from 2019. I would have been better off keeping my old phone instead of wasting my money on this piece of junk. I've had it for 1.5 months, and from the beginning, it has been freezing quite often. Now it has reached a point where I want to open an app and either it doesn't open at all (telling me that the app is not responding) or it takes excessively long to open. Other times, during a call, it abruptly closes and opens again. Clearly, there is a major issue with this model.
I received the device today and I am satisfied with the money I paid (130€).
Positives:
- It includes a charger, a case, and a pre-installed screen protector.
- Great size for me, neither too big nor too small.
- Slim and elegant.
- Good waterproofing, based on what I have seen in videos and in water depth, so I believe it won't be damaged if it falls into water.
- Opens applications quickly and is also good for gaming.
- Very good speakers.
- Satisfactory microphone.
- Very fast fingerprint sensor.
- Satisfactory battery that easily lasts a day.
- Good fps, screen colors, and resolution.
Negatives:
- Personally, I didn't find the camera to be very good, I have seen better ones for the same price.
- It has some kind of image stabilization that saves the video, but overall the cameras and colors seemed average to me, but they will take decent photos during the day like any other good phone. Personally, the macro lens was terrible from what I saw.
- Initial lag, but I assume this will be due to application and software updates.
Overall, it runs smoothly, if anything happens in the future, I will edit
It does what it is intended for, simply and efficiently. It does not freeze, it does not crash, the battery is fine. Just what you need for an everyday phone, to do your job.
This particular mobile is the cheapest one I have bought and the best one, how is that possible you might ask me; simply one word, Xiaomi!
The battery life is excellent, although all new mobiles have good battery performance. It will show with time.
The screen resolution is very good, you don't see pixels no matter how close you get.
Not all cameras are good. However, the ones that are worth it and the most important ones are:
- 64MP (Takes excellent photos)
- 1080p Video (The results are quite satisfactory)
- 4K Video (The resolution is excellent)
- Slow motion (Takes in incredibly slow motion at 960fps, but the quality is extremely low)
The build quality unfortunately makes it obvious that it is cheap, this is the only negative thing I have found in this wonderful device.
Overall, it is worth every penny and more!
Positives:
- Battery life.
- Screen resolution.
- Camera quality.
- Speed.
- Sound quality.
Update, after a considerable amount of time using it, I have a more comprehensive opinion about this specific mobile phone, which is initially a value for money (vfm) option. Its pros include a high screen resolution with vibrant colors, AMOLED display, aesthetically pleasing design, good cameras, and battery life. The sound quality and speed are average, and the screen scrolling is limited to 60Hz, as well as the absence of a 33W charger. Despite these drawbacks, I still recommend it as it is significantly better than newer models at the same price
The mobile phone is good, fast enough, with a decent camera. The only thing I didn't like was the 60Hz screen, it would have been much better if it had 90-120Hz
A value for money mobile phone, relatively nice, average build quality, with good resolution and bright amoled screen, overall it is mediocre, but it is worth the price it is sold today, at 110€ it is a good choice, the downside is the lack of a charger
The only nice thing about this phone is its camera.
The phone does not come with an adapter and I put it in the adapter of the Xiaomi Redmi 8, but from the first day it tells me that the charging is slow.
Its battery runs out very quickly, even with just songs it finishes within 4 hours. My old phone lasted all day with songs and dropped to 80%. The capacity of 64 is terrible, I can't put in a full CD because the phone plays them and cannot be used. When you enter the gallery, it takes a long time to load until it shows you the photos.
Its camera is amazing, for the price of the phone (it was 175 but I bought it for 150€) I don't think you can find better.
The speaker is very good, it has a little more bass.
I would not recommend it, especially with low capacity!
The previous Xiaomi did not satisfy me due to its mediocre screen. With this one, with the AMOLED, I expected something much better. However, the difference between them is minimal. It is not what I expected, in terms of the screen, I mean. Otherwise, it is value for money.
The mobile phone is very good, it is worth the money I paid (110€). It is more balanced compared to the Redmi 12 / note 12 and I have not faced the problem with WiFi and Bluetooth (when activated together) that the Redmi note 12 has. The screen, camera, and speaker are decent and I am very satisfied. It charges very quickly with a 33W charger, but it does NOT come with a charger in the package.
Simply amazing! RR3 is a breath of fresh air! It doesn't lag anywhere! At 108€, it plays without rival! Awesome design compared to newer ones in its category that are quite boxy and have a poor touch sensation.
For simple use, with heavy games, but without special requirements in the camera, it's fine. The 8/256 works smoothly and doesn't freeze or lag. In terms of appearance, it feels like holding a 5-year-old phone. It doesn't have anything special, not even the advertised curved shape is something incredible. Just decent.
Very good for its price. It has a nice AMOLED screen and stereo sound. For everyday use, it is quite fast and overall satisfactory in all aspects. After the latest update, there is an option to add 3GB to the RAM memory from the storage space, so it has a total of 7GB. It has good features for its category and it is worth buying. The only thing needed is the company's charger that supports 33W.
As a variation of the note 10 it is good and cheap for about 120 euros... The poco is more stable than miui if I judge from X3.. Recommended for average user...
It is a good value for money for what it offers. The only drawback, which I would say is not that significant, is that it does not have a very powerful speaker when used for open listening or music. Other than that, it can easily compete with other models that are considerably more expensive.
I decided to try Xiaomi as a company and bought the Poco M5s shortly after it was released, for 250 euros at the time. For the price range of 110-140 it has today, it might be marginally worth it, although I believe there are better models even at this price. Its operating system is simply bad, it constantly freezes and crashes frequently. The rear camera is decent (for its current price), but the front camera is poor even for a phone from 2018 (the Honor 8x I had bought back then for the same price as the Poco M5 had a better camera). Overall, a very unpleasant first experience with the company, I would not choose their products again.
I have had the phone for 2 weeks, it is perfect for its price. Poco m5s 4gb 64gb, photos are very good, videos in 1080p 60fps are perfect, and in 4k 30fps resolution they are average, it received miui 14 upgrade, very fast on social media, YouTube 4k 60fps. I would recommend it for 120€!!
It is a commendable product from Xiaomi. The previous one I had was the Mi A3 from the same company. I don't play games, but for general simple use, like watching videos, taking photos, etc., it is flawless. It annoys me a little that it doesn't download some applications, but it's okay. The battery life is unbelievable. It charges incredibly fast
I have had the mobile phone for 6 months and I am very satisfied. For its price, I believe it is the best on the market. The battery is satisfactory, I would say. The only downside is that it drains quite quickly when playing games. The camera is very good for its price. The speakers could be a bit louder, but overall they are good. Finally, the screen resolution, for a regular user, I believe it will be fine. In conclusion, a very good mobile phone, especially for its price.
