My experience with the RN7 :D

[ttn.threat]

Nothing much. It's really great. The IPS screen when applying Facebook dark mode, text looks kinda like all of them are in Bold and the screen it's really bright, ignore all the measurement, it's enough. Wish I could make it a bit more cold.

The camera glass, cracks easily, even with a light drop from a table to a wooden floor And I notice that the selfie camera is misaligned, not great for OCD

The Snapdragon 660 is still fast for day-to-day task, PUBG works flawlessly, even on Medium graphics + Max FPS settings by GFX Tool. 4G is great, except when I'm inside a room, it quickly returns to H+ or H, olay though. 2 weeks of waiting for xiaomi.eu is short and the Chinese ROM with heavy bloat keeps my RAM full everytime, at freaking 2GB/3GB that I have.

Battery life is f******* awesome, even on the default ROM with 4G on all the time. I chose to play games for 1 hours and ONSC with basic browser, FB and Instagram surfing for the rest of the day. Heavy YouTube consumption though. Gets me around 8 to 9 hours a day without a need for charger, I ended a schoolday with 15-20% left, sometimes 30%. It's great.
Compare to Samsung A9 Pro 2016's 5000mAH with that 652 28nm chip, which only lasts for 5 hours, it's a significant upgrade.

Speaker sucks, however. I'm getting Viper4ANDROID soon. When I'm in shower, I hardly can hear the sound of the music, but when watching YouTube, it's ok dealing with human's voice.

Upgrade it from a 652 with a 5000mAh batt. , a 821 with a 3500mAh batt. is a worthwhile investment. Adreno 512 is better than both of them, not on specs sheet but on my own experience. And debloated MIUI like Global and EU is better, compare to EMUI and ColorOS.

Need more custom ROM though

This phone is indestructible according to Xiaomi's durability test /

Xiaomi would never lie :laugh:

Though on a serious note; be really careful with both RN7/P, the whole chassis can be bent with brute force using both hands. The design has a few weak points and will literally shatter and pop apart with moderate force. I'd also suggest using the provided gel case and a glass screen protector AND a camera protector. This'll cushion most drops and a shattered protector is much cheaper/easier to replace than the screen.

For the shattered camera lens you can often find the replacement glass part on AliExpress for a couple of dollars. Use some sticky tape to remove the old lens and drop the new one in place.
