      Hi, i use the phone since april 2019. The speed is still great on today's standards and apps. Opening and runs the apps smoothly and speedy.
      Camera specs on paper was good but when you take photos... Too much noise and faces of people not natural in my opinon when you compare with ios devices.
      The worse part is battery capasity and lack of sd card storage support. I am not a gamer or not a heavy user. Because of my work i mostly use the emails, whatsapp and browser usage mostly..Battery really not satisfies. Charging twice a day minimum. Despite from that overall great phone.
      Hope we get android 11 and more miui updates on upcoming days.
      Best regards

        Good phone but battery a bit too small even for 2019 phone standard. Mi 10 has a huge battery leap, but Mi 9 IMO is reliable enough (also good price value).

          i was the phone of the year, even today you cannot get such flagship with ultra fast Qi and Qc (compatible, not some "Warp" nonsense) in 173grams. Battery was very good, better than all Samsungs and worse than Onepluses who artificially kill apps to get better ranks.
          Nowadays, there are jut fat bricks being sold. Also, i am not looking at Xiaomi offers anymore, as I remember how difficult it was to root it (wait 2 weeks and provide personal details).
          Oneplus 8T Pro without pop up camera and Qi didn't come so there's just Xperia 1.2 as a normal phone (180g).

                  Aside the absence of the 3.5mm jack, this phone is close to complete...just writing from my personal experience with the phone. Big UPS Xiaomi.

                                I've had this phone for a year and a half now (I think) and it's been serving me well. After flashing to xiaomi.eu weekly, this is a very powerful little machine.

                                  I had this phone for 6 months and I dropped it on its face and it instantly died, without showing any cracks or anything. Repairments won't work so ended up buying a different phone. Apart from that, yeah, it was very fast and smooth with a very good camera, but the display wasn't bright enough outdoors and I couldn't see anything most of the times
