Honestly
A surprise. This phone shouldn't produce photos that rival those from high-end handsets
But it does. Perhaps images aren't quite as sharp as those from the iPhone 6S or Samsung Galaxy S7
But they're damn close

The editors didn't like
I don't like the fact that Xiaomi
And other phone makers
Are moving to USB-C. Cables for this standard aren't that common yet
Which means you're going to have to buy new ones. In addition to that
It's not unheard of for cheap USB-C cables to blow phon
No waterproofing
No NFC
Low-resolution display
Dated Android version
720p display resolution
There's no microSD card slot like the Samsung Galaxy S7

Annoying flash sales, Software niggles, Camera not great in lowlight, No microSD slot
Ultimately, Xiaomi's reputation will be its biggest hurdle in the Indian market, as the vendor has built up its market share in the entry-level segment, and that's what consumers associate with the brand. The most difficult part for Xiaomi will be to conv...

A Snapdragon 820 for an amazing $305, Build quality worthy of a much more expensive phone, Fast, accurate fingerprint reader, USB Type-C, The camera isn't up to the level of a $700 camera, but for $305, it's pretty good
