"Compact powerhouse" caught my attention. Unfortunately, "compact" is a 6.36 inch screen.

- You need to talk about the overall phone size, not just the screen size.
  
  In the real world, this phone is barely bigger than a Galaxy S5, yet the screen is a full 1.3 inches larger due to the much much smaller bezels.
  
  In 2024, that's definitely compact. We're not going back to iPhone 3GS dimensions.
  
  That said, I'd still never buy a Xiaomi product, no matter how good the reviews are.

  It's still significantly bigger than the zenfone 10 or the iPhone and screen size matters more to some of us than the overall size.
  
  Call it a not huge phone or something. Compact should mean something.

  For some of us, 6.3in screen with 100% screen to body ratio is still too large.
  
  At 100% Id want 5.0in.
  In today's phone standards 4.5-4.8in seems reasonable.

  Custom roms for them absolutely slap. Posting this from a still perfectly functional mi9 with Android 14.

- Yeah, unfortunately we are way past 6 inches. It's unlikely to make a return.

"Elegant metal and glass"

Who?? Who tf wants Glass on a phone? Plastic is literally the best, as everyone should use a case anyways?
