So I have had the phone for about a month now and is a massive upgrade from my previous phone (oneplus 5T)
Pros:
Top spec phone, bargain price on prime day deal, runs unbelievably fast, stable OS, everything loads smoothly, no major issues, 120hz adaptable screen, charges phone in about 20 minutes (best feature!), yes the battery could be a bit better but it does last a full day+ of moderate use and being able to charge it so quick means it isn't a problem at all. 256gb so don't need expandable memory. It comes with a 3 pin 120w charger, phone case, pre-installed protector, USB-C to headphone adapter, and wired headphones, which is generous when looking at other phones (apple and samsung!)!
The fingerprint reader is in the power button, which is okay and easy to get used to, it also has face unlock which works reasonably well.
Camera: It takes decent photos and videos, has wide angle view, decent zoom detail, works really well, has a quick shutter and easy to use.
Phone calls are crystal clear with the mic and speakers. Youtube, netflix and prime are a pleasure to watch on this device.
5G and signal - all okay - 5G is fast! (recorded 300mbps)
Cons:
The power button and volume down button are exactly symmetrical on the left and right of the phone, which has resulted in loads of accidental screenshots when I just want to lock/unlock the phone! This will just be a learning curve for me in the way I use the phone, that's all, but hopefully POCO resolves this slight design flaw on future phones.
When charging, the phone and power brick does get a bit hot for that short time, but after that it is fine. When I initially got the phone, the phone did get quite hot when updating and installing everything, however after initial setup, the phone does not get hot on normal use. I have been on zoom calls and the phone has been nice and cool (Improvement from my oneplus 5T) , so I would say overheating isn't an issue on normal use. I haven't played any games on this so can't really comment on any heating issues in games.
Doesn't have wireless charging, but the rapid charge makes up for this.
Phone speakers could be louder.
In my opinion, this is better than many other phones out there which cost a lot more, OS is great, no software or heating issues, camera is decent and all within a bargain price. It's made out of plastic but doesn't feel cheap at all and always has the case on, overall really happy with this purchase!
