-
Beebom80/100Mar 2026
One of Xiaomi's best phones of the year for gamers; cameras and bloat are the trade-offs.
-
MySmartPrice80/100Mar 2026
The most complete X-series Poco yet: fast and cool in games with better-balanced screen, battery and cameras.
-
Notebookcheck84/100Apr 2026
Strong value mid-ranger with a fast Dimensity 8500, bright sharp OLED and good speakers (global model).
-
Superb value, but fussy software and the camera mean it is not an automatic pick (global model).
