Friends+Design
- Premium build quality
- All-metal unibody design
- Fast fingerprint scanner
- The phone's enormous size makes it hard to use one-handed
Display
- Brilliant, massive 6.4-inch screen that gets good marks on image quality, sharpness and brightness
- Average sunlight legibility on the display
Software
- Lively and simple Xiaomi interface, that is comfortably on of the better Android UIs around
Performance
- Very good speed/performance for the class - and a notch above the Mi Max, because of the higher RAM and the newer processor
Camera
- Average front and rear cameras, that could have been better especially in low light conditions
Audio
- Wired audio quality is perfect - loud and with very little distortion
- Good call quality
- Loudspeaker performance could have been better
Battery
- Astounding battery life, easily one of the best ever on a smartphone, and with particularly great web browsing times - easily lasts 2 days of active use
More
- It's also heavy and will stick out uncomfortably in your pant's pocket
- Given the gigantic size, the phone is primarily targeted at those users who consume a lot of media on their device, or want a combined phone-tablet - for more regular users the compromise of a difficult-to-handle size might not be worth it
