phones for 100-200 gold are what the laptop market would look like if it were free market, rather than a monopoly+pocket oems.

6.67 '' screen, this is getting ridiculous. They should make something of size like iPhone SE 2. But then battery would most probably last for 2-3 hours.
And again no notification LED.

I just can't force myself do care about anything new from Xiaomi after Redmi K30 aka Poco X2 did not get a global release.
Those Sony 64M camera, no PWM high refresh modern IPS screen and great value CPU set a high standard.

how does this battery life vs power consumption work
there is a 5020 mah battery, under 3.7 voltage that comes up to around 18,5 WHr battery

now with a power consumption of 2W (which is your measured average "idle" power) and simple maths we get 18,5 / 2 = 9hours of battery life

yet under Wifi or video test you measure near 20 hours, that's like 2 times higher

how are you measuring power in this tests? numbers don't add up

It does have a notification LED on the upper grille
