  • Very fast charging.
  • Very good stereo speaker setup.
  • The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset offers excellent performance, flagship connectivity, and features.

Cons

  • Battery life could be better.
  • Ultrawide sensor is a bit dated with mostly unimpressive video capture.

Hold on a second Mister OP, you missed the most important pros and cons.

Has an IR Blaster thank fuck, but, is missing a 3.5mm jack and SDCard.

I know these "cons" are meme complaints by now and while I've actually used Bluetooth earbuds before Android was a thing (see, jackless Sony Walkman W850....), but feel you should be including them as cons since many revel for those simple hardware bonuses we're used to from Xiaomi.

Alas :(

is missing a 3.5mm jack and SDCard.

They only reliable option nowadays for jack is Sony, and they are very pricey :(

It's ridiculous they don't include either and I say that as someone who doesn't actually need either, really.

But it's nice to be able to backup my DCIM folder to the SDcard and then sync that via a network share on a regular basis, especially if I hadn't got adb enabled and/or I had a smashed screen?

It also allows me to just wipe my internal storage anytime without worry because I don't record many videos and photos take up fugg all storage with a 3.2.1 backup plan.

edit: What's the point of excluding, a headphone jack too I feel is the real question.

3.5mm jack would be nice. But, its not a deal breaker for me. But, sdcard is a different beast. Having an external card means you can easily transfer some data without being reliant on expensive cloud storage or finicky android data transfer.

Plus, when you factory reset your phone. You can selectivity backup some data and simply pop the card back in without losing all your stuff.
