The phone provides masterpiece performance for all the latest features, while playing games (Call of Duty, Free Fire, PubG) with high resolution, the phone does not hang at all while playing or using the phone for a long time. I use and I love this flagship phone. But the only bad thing about Xiaomi is the pre-installed apps, which include user-disliked apps that reduce phone storage a lot.
