To recap
A rollercoaster of emotions: Xiaomi’s 2022 flagship is a masterclass in screen quality and design subtlety, its cameras are great and come without unnecessary gimmicks; however, its battery life is questionable and the MIUI software still has some minor setbacks. There are moments of pure class here, though, especially if you’re always near to a charger and can top-up the battery freely.
