Was a moment of sheer happiness when I finally booked this phone after getting unsuccessful at 3 flash sales, and the happiness just doubled when I took it out of the packaging,
**Pros:**
The **uni-body metal chassis** with rounded corners feels outstanding in the hand, the mass feels just right. Even though it packs in that excellent **5.5" display**, the phone actually feels good to hold, thanks to thin bezels on the right and left of the display. The USP, however, is the humongous **4000mAh powerhouse** which powers this beast, with some industry-leading battery backup. I am a hardcore user of my phone and still, the phone gives an outstanding **9 hours of screen on time** with WiFi and Bluetooth'On' all the time! MIUI, their skin on top of android, has all the right features and optimizations.
I have used Xiaomi products in the past, and I loved each of them, so I had high hopes for this one; and I am happy to report that this thing fulfils them all. Be it performance, or day-to-day use, or heavy gaming, or battery standby time, or build quality.
**But nothing is perfect, neither this phone. Some Cons:**
The Hybrid Sim tray
The Camera(Lot more than what you pay for, but still, less impressive than the competition)
That's about it. Definitely recommended for those who have a budget of~15000 INR. This phone is the new benchmark in the sub-15000 category, and it even outperforms many devices that cost twice as much.
