Camera impressions
- Daylight: 50MP main produces crisp, contrasty images with consistent exposure; ultrawide is decent but softer at edges.
- Low light: OIS helps keep shutter speeds usable; Night mode reins in noise well, though detail trails premium flagships.
- Video: Stabilisation is reliable; 4K clips look sharp from the main sensor, ultrawide quality is serviceable for casual use.
- Selfies: 20MP front cam delivers natural skin tones; portrait edge detection is reliable after a couple of software updates.
Verdict: strong everyday camera for the price; serious mobile photographers will still prefer higher-end sensor stacks.
Performance & gaming
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 keeps frame rates high in popular titles with sustained performance aided by the large vapor chamber and IceLoop pathway. HyperOS 2 feels responsive, app launches are snappy, and background memory management is less aggressive than older MIUI builds. Heat is controlled well for a thick-battery phone.
