Going into details, the terminal mounts a 6.67-inch IPS LCD screen , which does not provide FullHD resolution (2,400 x 1,080 pixels), HDR compatibility and Gorilla Glass 6 protection; but it also has a refresh rate of 120HZ , touch sampling of 240Hz and brightness of 450 nits, being more than ideal for enjoying games.

And speaking of games, there will be no title that can resist the powerful Snapdragon 860 star chip , which faces the task of moving demanding apps and games in the company of the Adreno 640 GPU and 6GB or 8GB of RAM memory , which in turn are paired with 128GB and 256GB of internal storage, respectively (type UFS 3.1). The Android 11 operating system and the MIUI 12 for POCO interface also ensure smooth performance and a friendly user experience.

Continuing with its technical details, the mobile is powered by a 5,160mAh battery that, together with the 33W fast charge, ensures a long autonomy. The connectivity options are everything we can expect from an affordable flagship: Dual 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC, USB Type-C, and more.
