Excellent phone for its price. It comes with a charger, cable, pre-installed quality screen protector, and a case. You really feel like you're holding an iPhone with Android. (It is the same size as the 15 Pro Max, which my friend just bought.) It feels like we got the same phone with different software in terms of speed, cameras, and sound. Of course, Apple costs twice as much.
Everything happens instantly. Excellent Dolby sound, HDR10+ screen, excellent photos, and very good videos. It is fast in everything, and experts say it can easily handle all games (although I haven't tried it yet). The battery lasts, it doesn't last a day depending on usage, but I've had it for 3 days and charged it 3 times in 25 minutes. However, with its charger, it lasts 2 days with moderate use in just 10 minutes of charging.
I give it 4 stars because I do photo editing and video editing, and it is a bit slow in exporting and loading photos. After researching, I found out that the processor has very few shading units compared to Snapdragon, and that's probably the reason. It disappointed me a bit, but I think for someone who doesn't use Lightroom, it is an excellent phone for 650 euros, it's worth it 100%. For the initial price of 900 and in some stores now, maybe only the 1T 16GB is worth it. But for 600 euros, I don't think you can find so many good things in a phone today.
The processor is like having a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, slightly better for gaming but slightly worse in the rendering aspect I mentioned earlier.
I don't know what some people have seen with the sound and say it's not good. I'm still trying to figure out in which phase it doesn't perform well in sound. I don't give it a 10/10, but I don't notice anything. I also do music and I have to say that its microphone is amazing when recording videos. (I noticed that it captures something like ASMR from the person holding the phone (front sounds) and normal sound from what's happening behind where the camera is.)
It doesn't have a macro lens for macro photography, but with the 50MP lens, it captures twice the quality compared to a macro lens I compared it with Xiaomi Note 9 Pro.
P.S. I come from the legendary budget-high-end phone Mi 9T Pro back then, and I have to say that it is twice as fast, so it's worth its money (at 650 euros, obviously not 900), with noticeable improvements in the screen, cameras, etc.
Update 29.3.2024, 2 months later. The phone hasn't frozen anywhere except for the calling app (like a bug) which was fixed with a restart. The battery is not extremely good, but it definitely lasts a day, and its charger has saved me. If I forget, it lasts half a day in 10 minutes of charging, and another day in 20 minutes.
As for its usage, I tested it in extreme weather conditions with -15 degrees for hours in the mountains, with humidity and buried in snow, and it has no issues.
Its photos are very good, but the quality slightly deteriorates in the x2 lens, which is logical. However, I would say they are excellent.
Overall, I noticed that the sound it captures in videos has incredible detail.
I also noticed that I use it much more than my old phone because it doesn't lag anywhere, and I continue to explore things because its operation is so smooth. I believe that if I don't break it, I will keep it for 3 years for sure, maybe even 5 at best. I don't think there's a reason for someone to replace this phone; I don't know what else can be improved that we can notice. Only the rendering and shaders maybe.
