our decision
This phone of Poco can be a good option for daily use. The best thing about this smartphone is that if you fully charge the phone once, you will not need a charger for two days. However, this gaming phone of Xiaomi’s sub-brand also has many shortcomings. The phone’s camera could have been further improved. Also, considering the price, it could have used 7Gen chipset, which would have further improved its performance.
