Dayan has made two great cubes in the Premium and Fancy versions. They are very different puzzles, so it depends on what a person likes better in a cube. I'm writing a review for both of them, so if you are on the fence, it's worth reading both.
The Fancy is a very flexible and fast cube. It has never popped, and it corner cuts really well. The flexibility can cause it to lose it's shape, so if you grip your cubes hard, you might have trouble with this one.
To give it a little more stability, I put the cap magnets from the Premium onto this one and it gave it the stability I wanted. So if you get both cubes, there are a lot of possibilities of customization. The speed is amazing, and most cubers could probably set a PB with it.
Is this cube better than a Gan or Moyu? I don't think so, but is it comparable and will a lot of cubers like it better? I think that could be true if this cube was given the chance.
Is the Zhan Chi going to pull cubers away from other brands? Probably not, but if you want to try a great puzzle that is a possible main contender, this is a good choice. Dayan made a heck of a cube, and I hope it becomes more popular.
As a final personal testimony, before the Zhan Chi I was not a big fan of 3x3. I preferred bigger cubes. But the feel of this cube is so good, that I now solve 3x3 as one of my main puzzles. This cube is definitely worth a try.
this cube is pretty good but it does have some down sides. it feels a little loose even on the tightest settings and the settings mechanism sometimes changes on its own when turning rough. my copy has some plastic clicking noise on the orange side but other than that this is a really good feeling cube. i love the mint internals.
I can't really describe in words the feeling of this cube but for casual solving it has one of the most enjoyable feelings I have ever felt. I hope this cube gets more recognition! I also got the premium version but the fancy is definitely my favorite! It is stable and flexible, and even though it is a little heavy it turns so effortlessly. It is not my main for speed solving, but it is my go to for casual solving, but sometimes I do time my solves on it and my average is almost the same with this cube as it is with my main.
