Key points

• Screen quality, brightness and refresh rate are all very good, and it's smooth and comfortable to use; cellular signal beats the iPhone in some locations.

• Channel: Gadget Sidekick | Type: Unboxing + hands-on review (China model, Philippine channel) | Based on: YouTube transcript

Key points

• The box includes a 100W charger and a clear case; gray-market prices in the Philippines start at about ₱49,700 (12+256GB).
• A compact flagship that looks like the iPhone 17 Pro; the rear display can show notifications, change wallpapers, take selfies with the rear cameras or record vertical short videos directly.
• The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 scores about 3.4 million in benchmarks, and games such as Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves and Call of Duty run smoothly at about 45–46°C.
• The silicon-carbon battery lasts two days, and 100W charging fills it in about 30–35 minutes; it also supports wireless and 22.5W reverse charging.
• 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED with 3,500 nits peak brightness, clear outdoors.
• Three 50MP Leica cameras (main, 5x periscope telephoto, ultrawide) produce vivid daytime colors, and both front and rear cameras record 4K60.

✅ Pros

• Compact but with top-tier performance
• Long battery life and fast charging
• The rear display makes rear-camera selfies and recording easy
• Bright screen

❌ Cons

• The body reaches about 45–46°C when gaming
• The China model has to be bought through gray-market channels

📝 Verdict

A compact flagship that beats expectations: a likable form factor with solid performance and battery life, making it a compact flagship worth considering in 2025. (China model reviewed)

• Channel: JerryRigEverything | Type: Durability test + teardown (China model) | Based on: YouTube transcript

Key points

• It looks very similar to the iPhone 17 Pro, but the camera plateau is replaced by a 2.7-inch rear display that can launch the camera with a swipe, letting you take selfies with the rear cameras.
• The front Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass (Shield 3.0) shows no marks at level 6 on the Mohs scale and only faint marks at level 7; he thinks it beats other Android phones and is slightly behind Apple's Ceramic Shield 2. The rear display uses ordinary tempered glass and scratches at level 6.
• The back is actually plastic, so it won't shatter easily; aluminum buttons and IP68 gaskets.
• 12-bit display survives 25 seconds of lighter heat undamaged; ultrasonic fingerprint reader.
• The bend test shows almost no deformation from either side, so it passes the durability test.
• The teardown reveals dual silicon-carbon cells, 100W wired and 50W wireless charging (not magnetic); it's easier to open than the iPhone 17 Pro, but screen replacement is harder; one screw had come loose on its own.

✅ Pros

• Front glass resists scratches well
• Solid structure that doesn't bend
• The rear display is a novel, fun design
• Fast wired and wireless charging

❌ Cons

• Rear display glass scratches easily
• The design closely imitates the iPhone
• Screen replacement is harder

📝 Verdict

Solid and inventive: the structure and front glass are very durable, and the rear display is a rare new idea in recent years.
