It's a great performing device which runs on Snapdragon 845 Flagship Processors & comes with Adreno 630GPU with liquid cooling technology.

Not only processor but Camera is also one of the best even in 2020 at its price, 12+5MP rear camera with GCam performs like a deal breaker & supports Camera2API out of the Box.

It supports 18W Fast Charge & lasts long for upto 12-14hr easily in one full charge.

Even 6GB RAM variant is good in performance & any game can be played easily receiving consistent updates running latest Android version.

The phone receive the latest Android 11 with MIUI 11 that's a skin by Mi. Interface and experience both are great as we know how MIUI works in real so definitely no complaints for that.

Write about the design and display of your device:

It comes with IPS LCD Display which is a backdraw of this as we were expecting AMOLED, even the design is a little unfair with big bathtub notch and plastic built design but over-all it is satisfactory for its price.

Your Smartphone's Camera Review

12+5MP Rear Camera with Sony IMX 486 where in front you get 20MP selfie shooter.

Rear support video recording upto 4K and Picture quality using GCam gets on another level, thanks to Camera 2API support. So with this camera you won't feel left out anytime.

Starting from a Range of 20K even after 2 Years it stands one of the best in the Market if you searching for a great performer mainly if you can ignore its build, display & Design the phone delivers on performance why the F1 was praised by every Reviewer after its launch.
