Now coming on the Main Review-
-
Hardware -
This Phone is Made out of High quality ALUMINUM and has went through many processes for this Finish. The phones seems very sturdy and is still lightweight considering the size and battery.The Buttons are well laid off and works excellent.
The Phone is Powered by Snapdragon 650 Hexa core processor, with 2 A72 Cores and 4 A52 Cores. The RAM is 3 GB and Gets Job done. Overall Killer specs when compared with competition.
Display-
-
The Display Used on this Phone is of really high quality and stands out when compared with other phones in the segment. Outdoor Visibilty is decent. Viewing angles are just Great Because of that IPS Panel. The screen is Very sharp because of 1080p and text looks crisps on this.
Camera-
-
It comes Equipped with 16 Mp main camera and 5 Mp front Camera. The cameras are overall quite good in Good Lightning Conditions, But it starts struggling in low lighting . Lots of noise creeps in on Both of the camera’s .
Though XIaomi can Fix this with future updates and I think it will be fixed shortly. I will attach some Camera Samples also.
Battery-
-
The Battery Life is just spectacular . There is no phone in the market that can compete this on terms of battery. It can easily last you 1.5 days with normal usage and FULL day with Heavy Usage.
Software-
-
The Software inside is MIUI 7.0 On top of ANDROID 5.1.1 . Though MIUI 8.0 is launched in CHINA but don’t know when xiaomi will bring it to INDIA. Till then we are stuck with android 5.1.1
MIUI comes with a lots of features and usefull apps, you will get to know once you use it.
Speaker-
-
The earpiece on top was pretty clear . The speaker at the back is also good . It is clear but their is not much depth to the sound. Adequate for playing games and all.
The sound output from earphones was also quite good .
IR Blaster and Fingerprint sensor-
-
The IR blaster is a nice addittion to the phone, not what you get usually in this price range. After recent updates it works as a charm . I was able to control My Airtel Digital TV right from it . all the major buttons were available.
The Fingerprint Sensor also Works fast. REally fast, just put on fingerprint and in milliseconds it unlocks . faster then the LE 1s and some other phones.
So thats all I have To say about this Beast from Xiaomi . Xiaomi got it Perfect in every Department.
