The Battery power of Xiaomi has always been the best in terms of endurance which is again prove by the phone. The colors are also great, classy and eye catching. Another fascinating feature of the phone is the back glass which is protected by gorilla 5. The 4 camera are great during the day shoot but the night mood isn’t that good, The macro cam is also great performer.The downsides are the LED display which is burnt around the front camera which is quite normal for a punch hole type camera phone. All in all the phone is mid-range all-rounder never the less
