Like all such phones from Xiaomi, this is a competent phone that follows up from the Mi 10 and Mi 10T with hardware that impresses and offers fabulous bang for your buck. Xiaomi first announced this phone in December 2020, so while we do not have a solid grasp of this phone's release in some Western markets just yet, we know just how well it performs in real life. It was the first phone with a Snapdragon 888 chipset, even beating out Samsung and its lovely but expensive S21 Ultra.
Design-wise, it's your typical metal and glass sandwich with a camera bump at the rear. It's a series of soft and round squircles which house a quad-camera layout. The phone has a nice 6.81-inch screen with an AMOLED display, a 120Hz refresh rate that's now become de rigueur for many of the best Android phones in 2021, and a 2K screen. Xiaomi's packing a lot of battery in this device as well. The company has famously shipped large batteries in all its phones, and this high-performer is no exception. You'll find a 4600mAh battery on board with 55W fast charging. There's also fast wireless charging. Not the air charging that Xiaomi's promising, but the more mundane place your phone on a pad and wait kind of charging. Fortunately, it's 50W as well, so your phone won't have to sit down too much.
