Editorial report
Xiaomi Mi Play technical sheet
The Xiaomi Mi Play suits buyers looking for a compact, lightweight phone, with a small battery and slow charging as the main trade-off. Its 3,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time, and 10 W charging is slower than most. That matters to anyone prioritizing battery capacity and quick top-ups.
The 5.84-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 432 ppi, among the best for phones launched around the same time. At 150 g, the phone weighs less than most. Its performance and hardware are better than most, with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, expandable by up to 256 GB with a memory card. The camera is worse than most, and its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, and there is no optical image stabilization.
Connectivity is slightly above average. The Mi Play has dual Nano-SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack and microUSB, alongside Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2. It runs Android 9 and does not receive direct OS updates. With a NeoScore of 3.7, it makes the most sense for buyers who value a compact, light design, a sharp display and ample memory, and can accept the battery and camera compromises.
