Review:
Body: Metal body feels and looks good, but is quite slippery maybe because of its curved edges. Weight distribution is quite good, it feels way lighter than Moto x play despite being almost same weight.(9.5/10)
Battery: Battery is way too good. It gave me averagely nine hours on screen time which included moderate gaming, heavy net surfing, low camera use. It heats a bit but that is with every phone. Every time it took almost two and a half hours to charge completely.(10/10)
Memory and processing: This piece had approximately 25 GB ROM free and almost 1.8 GB RAM initially. After installing some apps and updating MIUI it still has 1.6 GB RAM available if all apps are clear. Processing is nice and runs app without any lag and there wasn't lag while playing Asphalt 8. It heats while using continuously for long time but not much and far less than Le1s.(10/10)
Camera: Camera is not bad as I read in other reviews. It clicks decent images for 12k phone. Focus processing is good, has real time filters. It is way too better than Le1s.(9/10)
Sensors: It has two more sensors than other phones. Fingerprint sensor work great like nine out of 10 times. IR blaster works nice with peel remote app but it has its own limitation which is distance, 20 feet and it is difficult to use it, but its good as it is not its only function like remotes.(10/10)
User Interface: MIUI can be very much customized and is good and easy to use but it is flawed. Notification tray and shortcut settings can be accessed from lock screen too. After cutting call if you instantly swipe up, the lock screen does not even appear sometimes and directly opens home screen. This version has fingerprint lock for apps also. No fp sensor image clicking yet. It has inbuilt vault(images, gallery) also. Hoping for update soon.(7/10)
