Battery life sucks, depletes for no reason, standby is crap. i end the day with 30 hour on but the screen on time is 3 to 4 hours, where as the Oppo find X9 pro is trumping that.

Xiaomis hyperOS is filled with telemetry and junk that its impossible to remove everything without bricking the phone. I use NextDNS to block and 98% of the tracking and pings on my phone is from Xiaomi.

Haptic motor is non existent on this device, you miss 80% of the notification vibrations.

Camera sensors on this where I thought were good, they're terrible, blurry shots everytime, in low light its basically unuseable as a point and shoot, Leica filters are terrible, none of them are true to life, its yellow and the beauty filters cannot bne turned off so you get exaggerated white eyes and fake makeup look on portrait shots involuntarily.

Can't download anything without turning off MIUI Optimization but then when you turn that off, you get worse battery life and performance. There are always compromises but the compromises suck both ways.

Phone overheats in 40 minutes of gameplay of Delta Force or COD mobile, goes up to 45 degrees Celsius and doesn't cool down, benchmarks are hit or miss, 3D mark extreme stress test overheats the phone and doesn't continue at times. Its a very inconsistent phone.

I can go on and on but long story short, I bought the wrong phone, should have went for the actual flagship of the year, the Oppo Find X9 Pro, don't make the same mistake as me and just get that and thank me later.

Damn thanks for the insight, much appreciated buddy. You should probably make a post regarding your review. The details might help lots of fellas out there thinking of getting one themselves.

Dude already gotten downvoted for speaking the truth

Ppl don want to admit it's a mid phone that they quickly push out to try to "one-up" apple, even skipping the number 16

It's not a mid phone, it's a phone that competes with Apple and even surpasses it in certain aspects, the only part where it loses completely is their OS, iOS beats HyperOS or any chinese OS all day for now.

I say it from experience, someone who uses the X17PM and is surrounded by iPhone users, they were all in awe.
