I like the idea of it, but I wouldn't trust a camera from Xiaomi. I've got a Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g phone, and the camera is a pain to use. There's about a 50/50 chance of a photo taken using the zoom to have random artifacts over the image. I've had some great photos ruined by it. It happened with my wife's Mi 10t Lite too, so it's not just my phone.
They removed features from the software too. One of the reasons that I chose this phone was because it had a burst mode on the camera, and I had a young child. After the phone was out of warranty, one of the updates removed the burst function. It also resets the settings if you switch apps or lock the screen. I was using the star trails mode last night, and switched to an astrophotography app to check I was pointing the phone the right way, and when I switched back, the camera was back to the default settings. Not great if you want to use one of the other modes.
