Since there's nothing left to pull out of this phone, it's time for a quick sum-up:

Once again Xiaomi packed a device with cutting-edge hardware, being evidently unwilling to make decisions between 5G and a 120 Hz screen. Time will tell if they found a winning balance, or just made a phone that will quickly chew through dual-cell batteries.

We're happy to see an internal design that accommodates independent battery and screen removals.

At the end of the day it's still glued together, so reassembly won't be fun—but at least the adhesives used here aren't as tough as some.
