My old Xiaomi Mi 9 SE gave up the ghost after a fall into the water. I went back to the exact same model because I was completely satisfied with it. 👉 For me, it's one of the best value for money in the compact phone category (€70). This format has become very rare these days. Condition of the phone: Rated as 'fair', I wasn't expecting a pristine device, as long as the screen was intact. I was a little apprehensive when I opened it, but luckily it looks as good as new to me! No scratches, no visible defects. Weak points: Camera: clearly not up to 2025 standards. The stabiliser isn't great, so photos are easily blurred if you move around a bit. If photography is an important criterion for you, you'll have to pass, especially if you're comparing it with a recent iPhone. Software: the ROM is locked to MIUI 12 / Android 10, which limits certain functions: France Identité unavailable Tap to Pay disabled (that's all as far as I know) Battery: it's worn out (75% capacity), but that's logical for a 2019 model. Despite this, it still lasts a full day without any worries. Unpacking anecdote: The first few hours were worrying: the touch screen barely detected anything (9 out of 10 presses went undetected). I struggled just to enter my Wi-Fi key. I was ready to send the device back... and finally, after 2-3 hours, everything was back to normal, with no problems since. Total mystery. I suspect a processor overload while I was restoring my apps, a phone that had been left in the storage centre for too long, or a simple burst of static electricity. In short: if this happens to you too, give it some time before panicking. Delivery Shipped from Norway, received in just 30 hours by express delivery: nothing to complain about. Conclusion ⭐ 5/5 without hesitation. It ticks all my boxes: compact, high-performance, inexpensive, and in excellent condition. The camera is its weak point, but as that's not an important criterion for me, I'm delighted with my purchase.

It works well for me, the only thing is the battery life is very short for a Xiaomi, and it also sometimes gets too hot while charging. Other than that, it's good.
