Hubert R. (Oct 23, 2020) on Amazon

(1) Camera not good at all. (2)A tempered glass should have been included in the overall package. (3) An earphone set would have been handy.(4) Battery susceptible... Says 5000 MAh but I'm not sure.(5) Charger head gets heated up in no time.(6) Says 64gb internal whereas 12 of the 64 is already consumed by in built apps.(7) Till date can't easily find accessories online like what is there immensely available for a Redmi note or a Redmi prime.
