mine started to overheat even with the screen off thought it was about to explode in my hand lol everything off and it reached 47Cº for no reason. planning to sent it away to see if they can fix it as i still have the warranty. probs the battery man. it was also draining a lot. good phone though :p

    i ended up buying it last september. while i find it overall nice, there are some things that irk me. first of all, the photos. it's not like the camera is horrible, and i dont have high expectations - i was content with my note 9 pro for few years. but it seems like hyperos just ruins every picture with post-processing. they look nice through the camera while shooting and a millisecond after, but then they end up smudgy, as if it went through an ai filter every single time. and i have all these beautify, ai enhancement etc features off. i also tried fo find something in developper settings, but no. it frustrates me so much i consider switching to a different phone, but i'm picky and i wasn't able to find one that would have all features i want. maybe i should uninstall the system updates back to miui...idk if it's a good idea.
    the second thing lately it heats up so much even while doing basic things, no gaming, no having 15 apps opened at once, just browsing and messaging.
    otherwise it's good enough for me, but these things bug me a lot.

          Camera is very bad, no stabilization upclose. Display is meah, batery was ok in the beginning but after updates it does not show corectly the percentaje, also phone moves slower than before and i dint even game on it. Stay away from redmi, was good few years back but after covid, and new economic events inflation taxes etc, quality is way down.

                        Lyazi Eric Jjombwe, 15 Mar 2025It's really depends on what we're using itEh, I don't use it that heavily, that's the odd thing about this phone, even when I go to sleep, during the night, it drains at least 20%, and that's with wifi off and on airplane mode, and I turn off most of the notifications so... I don't know what's causing for it to drain so much battery, maybe a faulty unit? I wonder sometimes if this phone really has 5000 mAh as advertised, compared to my old phone (Samsung Galaxy A12 Nacho) that had same capacity, that one last me full three days without charging 🤷‍♂️

                                    is it just my phone or the battery drains very fast? it doesn't last me a full day, I already looked for apps that could drain the battery but don't find one. I just play COD, text and call, so I find it weird that I have to charge it basically everyday. ://
