I find the OS overall to be buggy, outdated, featureless and overall full of patches and fixes that is now the OS that cracker jack built.
At this price point a far better OS is to be expected

Have you tried to update your device to the latest version and then do a factory reset?

What are you babbling about? I have a OnePlus 6 already, this is posted to that thread. Reading along with reading comprehension works wonders before posting at a poor attempt at snark. No bugger off and wake up to yourself.

Yes, already had to do that because of not only regular issues that still persist but woke up one day where I kept getting warnings my entire storage was used even though I only have used about 5gb out of the 50+gb available. I've seen some postings of others having the same issue.
I still have issues with networking where it doesn't want to reconnect to the network after losing signal and I have to use the airplane mode on/off. It's a known issue to them and they told me they're still working on a fix even though they supposedly pushed one out in the last update.
I've in essence told them already they need to start from scratch with a new OS instead of patching this to work on one model to another which it clearly doesn't. I mean it doesn't even have a slider just for notifications volume, they told me it takes time to code for it. I said people have been complaining for one for 3 years, how much time does one need.
I feel this phone is all hype, great specs but no substance behind the hardware.
I have personally never had this problem and prefer OOS to Lineage, touchwiz and any aosp Rom. It is also very good with battery once you have the right configurations and if you turn down the time it takes for animations to 0.5 or 0.25x it just shows how extremely fast and snappy the device and how good in my opinion OOS is.

You should count yourself lucky, you haven't had the network problem like the rest of us because it is quite annoying.
I have no issue with the battery life, but then I don't clutter my phone with nonsensical apps either. I have no need to turn down the animations either, I have no complaints about it being "snappy and fast" but being snappy and fast has no bearing on the other issues within the software. You can make any phone snappy and fast, but the coding can still be a mess. And the phone does have a latency issue which is apparently even more noticeable in the 3rd beta as there were people complaining about it.
Touchwiz is just a joke and should not be used as a comparison to anything. To be honest I would rather go back to Asus and deal with their limited updates then this mess. No OS is without some problems somewhere, but at least Asus works correctly 90% of the time and is updated to 2018 instead of being an OS from 2012.
Or you can just do a fresh install of OOS 5.1.11 and unlock it and install xxxnolimits and radioactive kernel like me or flash lineage 15.1.

I've already done that, why do you keep telling me to do things like it's my first device?
I don't root and flash anymore, I want something that works when I hand over my money. I'm not loyal to any brand or a fanboy to any brand and if I see something I don't like I make it known, if it doesn't get fixed I walk with my money. The fact that every solution is install a 3rd party app or root your phone and install this or that is not a solution to the underlying problem. OP better step up or they'll go the way of the Blu phones, all hype in the beginning now they're not even a blip on the radar.
If having to flash this or that, install this and that works for you on this device, that's great it however doesn't for me. But that just tells me because you've had to do all that, the OS isn't really up to par. Good luck with your phone and I'm happy you're happy with it.
Seems like you just got unlucky
I have the 128gb 8gb variant and I think you mentioned you had the 64gb variant. I was just trying to help sorry I couldn't.

Although I root my devices day one and have no issues with my OP6 I totally agree with you.
I maintained buggy devices before. Customer supports standard answer is factory reset. Community answer is root and flash or install this or that. Out of the box many devices from different brands have lots of issues where I wonder how this could pass quality check. Loosing signal/ reconnecting issues for mobile and wifi, buggy silent mode, any pre installed (mostly the launcher) force closes, etc.
People keep asking me why I root my devices, what the benefit is. While some thinks are a real benefit (twrp, titanium backup, enhanced settings, ...) other mods are just there to overdraw the main rom bugs. And they become more.

Maybe because the problems you are mentioning are issues people that don't know what they are doing tend to have and the people that root and start installing stuff that can't read instructions properly. Honestly the problems you mention are rookie issues and or Fan Boys of other phones (Iphone anyone) and troll.
The OS is just fine. The OP5 and now the OP6 are the first android phones I've never had to install a custom ROM for. I root for TiBu and to install root apps. I also install a Kernel to increase vibration sensitivity and max volume levels. Buttery smooth, insane battery life and no complaints.
I'm running the OP6 64gb as well, and I've never had issues with the OS. It's pretty bare-bones (like it should be), since it opens the possibility to update to new OS updates extremely fast.
I've had high-end Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC, Xiaomi and Huawei, and so far OnePlus have been AMAZINGLY quick on updates and fixes for issues at hand.
The best I have seen so far really enjoy the dark mode option(both on my old oneplus 5)
The audio tuner is amazing with my headphones (classic with Sennheiser hd25)
feel a little smoother than my Oneplus 5 with Oxygen 9.03 but I its maybe a placebo
For improve I want more option for the file manager (smb 3 compatibility pls)
More widget out of the box weather and location especially
and change the design of the weather app
its look a little outdated

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Oppo Realme 1, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Oppo Realme 1 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Yes.it is great device.
At a short time you guy's created a forum for realme 1.
Still no xda forum available for oppo f7.
F7 launched on April and lot of people using it including me.
Please consider oppo F7. because they same in hardware and software department.
Thank you.

Phones with good spec and low price range always have good possibility for getting good devs, that's what happened. Let's hope f7 too get the same attention.
Overall its a great phone but really not a fan of ColorOS, need some xda magic. But then I read somewhere that Oppo has violated GPL by not turning our kernel sources before :S

Well, it's a great phone with great specifications vs price. But did you check/notice its SAR values?
I've been using oppo realme 1 since a day. Lacking of fingerprint sensor is a con. Face unlock in nights or dark condition is also not possible. Overall phone is very great. No led notification light presence . less bloat ware but it comes with 24 gb preoccupied os and 104 gb free ROM overall. Battery optimisation was pretty good. Face unlock is faster and good but it unlocks when sleeping or easy to others unlock while we sleep or unaware. Waiting for XDA magic .
Yes the phone is amazing I have the 3gb version and I am happy with it .
This is my first phone from oppo and I am happy.and i trust oppo more than other brand like mi or honor,have used both of the smartphones
Phone performance is good.
i very irritated about the color os.
i cant change wallpaper
cant change launcher to pixel launcher
face unlock is not working in low light and the pin is 6 digit. it should have fingerprint scanner
cant dismiss notification in one swipe. [copy ios for a good thing]
lot of simple android feature they mad it very complicated and difficult to use[eg : - screen splitting]
camera have some grainy even in good light condition[ but that is not my concern]
i will change some stock android at the moment it is available.
COLOR OS SUCKS.
PS : i jist got the phone today only. more comes. and i cant find any feature as handy in color os exept the navigation that gives full display view
Simple Questions
1. How do I change the fonts? Have iFonts installed and downloaded the font I want to change to, but I dont find the setting to change fonts
2. How / Where do I get to see the Data / Wifi Usage and Battery drain over a time line
Coming to the Realme 1 from the good old OnePlus 1, so kind of took these as granted.
Realme 1 doesn't have the option to show battery usage. I could be wrong but i was not able to find the option.
Changing fonts through iFonts need the phone to be rooted?

Custom ROM will change the scene,
possibly in near future.
Sent from my MotoG3 using XDA Labs
I wanted to buy realme 1 as I liked it's processor and aggressive price. But the only thing I am worried about is Dev support for custom roms. If anyone can assure me I will buy the smartphone. Oppo doesn't seem like a brand that wants it's users to root and use custom roms on their device
I'm enjoying this device for more than a week now. First thing I love with this device is cellular reception/call quality. Next is dual 4G. Quick app loading time.
Down side I could say,
Camera seems to soften the image too much.
Memory management in 3GB variant is poor.
Overall excellent device and its really worth every rupee!

Rare chance of custom ROM for Helio P60
This is the reason why snapdragons processor are most popular as the source hence we get tons of custom ROM,
But i doubt if someone will release a custom ROM for Realme 1[QRCODE][/QRCODE]

Disclaimer and Obligatory Background: I'm posting this here because the Discussions section seems the most appropriate one for this post. Mods are welcome to move/relocate the post if they see fit. I work in PR (Marketing/Social Media/Content Creation) and spend most of my days on the phone. Therefore, I consider myself a heavy user. You should read the following review with that in mind.
I've been using MIUI 10 (10.2.2.0 EU) for about three weeks now as my daily driver. The mod is a decent attempt by the MIUI team to bring MIUI 10 to the A2/6X but not the best out there considering the 6X should run on MIUI to begin with. Keep in mind that MIUI 10 is still under development and things may change at a moment's notice. This account of my experience is only valid at the time of writing and I won't consider myself responsible of what you do with your phone after you've read it. Now that we're good with all of that, let's take a look at what works and what I think would benefit from a bit more attention.
What Works
Phone/Data/Basic Coms: Everything that concerns your day-to-day phoning habits works well. I haven't encountered any of the issues mentioned on the forum when it comes to volumes, coverage, call quality or loss of data. MIUI 10 re-introduces call recording which might be a useful feature for some but I haven't had the chance/need to test it out for myself.
Swipe Gestures: the iPhone-like navigation gestures are actually a welcome addition to the ROM - at least in my opinion. Coming from Android One it took me a bit of time to get used to the new thing and I still accidentally archive e-mails on Gmail when I'm trying to close the app every now and then but the gestures do make your life simpler once you learn how to use them and I know they're one of the few things I'll miss if I ever go back to OTA.
Battery Life: battery performances seem pretty much the same I had back on Android One and the phone withstands heavy usage quite well. I might need to plug it in at the end of a particularly busy day - especially if I've had a particularly long call or spent a lot of time managing social media/taking pictures but MIUI 10 never left me stranded during the day, which is a great improvement over older versions of this OS. I am not sure MIUI 10 features adaptive battery tbh.
Scrolling Screenshots: this is actually one of the features that encouraged me to try MIUI 10 and I must say I'm satisfied with the results. For those of you who haven't tried them yet, scrolling screenshots essentially let you keep capturing portions of the screen that are not visible the moment you hit the screenshot button. They're great if you're trying to save an entire email convo or a Twitter/Forum thread.
Memory Management: Memory and performances are pretty much the same I've had on Android One. On a good day, the phone (6GB version) would have about 3.2/3.3 GB free ram with the OS + Twitter, Discord, Instagram, Mi Fit, Messenger, and Telegram locked into memory. I do miss not having to manually open the recents drawer and close whatever I'm not using to free up space but the phone still performed quite well. What I will mention is that quick apps (or whatever the MIUI "no more waiting to open apps" system is called) would crash on me every once in a while but, hey, I can live with that.
What Needs Improvements
Camera: the camera on MIUI 10 is abysmal; there is no other way to describe it. Especially when it comes to video, the overall quality of what the stock camera app can produce is miles below what the hardware is actually capable of. Video turns out to be noisy even in decent lighting conditions and look as if they were taken with a cheap phone rather than the dual camera that this device comes with. 4k recording is useless if the resulting file is peppered with artefacts and remains unusable. The situation is slightly better with photos. The AI does help with taking HD pictures outdoor but the whole thing still left me wanting for more. Of course one could try unlocking camera2api and installing a gcamera mod but that could be done on just about any ROM and wouldn't be a reason I'd go with MIUI over stock. Plus, camera2api would randomly deactivate itself every once in a while, even when activated following the so-called permanent method that's available here on xda.
Wi-Fi: I've noticed consistent drops in wifi since I switched to MIUI. The ROM would show full WIFI bars only to decide the connection wasn't strong enough and switch over to data in the middle of whatever you were doing; an approach that might end up costing you a lot if you're roaming or streaming HQ video when MIUI decides your data radio is being underutilized and deserves some love STAT! This has happened on multiple routers, in different conditions and at different distances from the router/wifi antenna, making me think that the issue might lie with the ROM rather than the WIFI I was connected to.
Bluetooth: Similarly to WIFI, bluetooth also seems to have a few problems on MIUI 10. I never experienced a full disconnection but using bluetooth headphones to listen to music as I was walking/working out often resulted in the music stuttering. There are a few settings you can toy around with in the dev settings section of the ROM and I've done that but the issue was never really solved in its entirety.
What Doesn't Work At All
Screen Recording: If you're thinking of switching to MIUI to escape Google's idiotic idea that system sound shouldn't be included with the recordings of what's going on on your screen anymore, just don't bother. While the MIUI screen recorder app does allow for system audio to be captured, the audio quality is just too low to make the actual recording useful for anything more than amateur hour. Sound stutters and is often out of sync, resulting in files that you simply can't use for professional purposes. If you really need system audio for a presentation, a gameplay video or an app review, you're better off investing 20 bucks in a decent USB to jack dongle and using an AUX cable to connect your phone to a PC with audacity. Which, by the way, is also how you would do that on any android phones nowadays.
MIUI Bloatware: I've had it with these motherf***ing apps asking me for a MIUI account, even on the de-bloated EU version of MIUI. I'm not interested in a China-based cloud service that I know nothing of and I don't want to log into MIUI just to report a bug. You've asked me already, stop doing that now!
A few things I'd like to add: The support from MIUI when it comes to MIUI 10 is meh. They do have their own dedicated forum and are pretty active here on XDA but the threads are usually flooded by sub-humans spamming requests for a port to their devices and most of the people that lurk the Xiaomi site have a pretty low command of the English language. I'm not saying I was expecting top-notch support for a free piece of software but that might piss some of the less patient among us off. Most of the bugs I've discussed in this thread were already reported months ago and were either ignored or acknowledged but never fixed.
That said, I'm now looking for a new ROM to avoid going back to OTA Android One. I would need something that's at least as performant as stock Android One and whose camera can take decent pictures/photos. I've heard that camera2api is active by default on roms like LineageOS but it seems the only LOS version I could find is an unofficial port that I'm afraid will never get constant updates. Any kind of pointer or suggestion is more than welcome here!

What's the point of this answer? Had I asked for a new model to buy, I would understand your suggestion for a Mi 9... but why waste the time to type out your sentence when it clearly adds nothing of value to the conversation?
Just to be clear, I'm perfectly okay with going back to stock and manually activating camera2api if no better solution is available. Hardware-wise, the A2 is a pretty capable phone; no reason to change it. I'm merely wondering whether the community is willing to share their opinion on a solid ROM to use for it.

The Mi A2 already produces quality photos and yields solid performances on OTA. Let me try to rephrase/dumb down that question for you:
"On MIUI, not liking it rn. Anything else I should try before I go back to stock?"
Havoc OS is pretty damn stable option, everything just works. I've never returned to stock since installing it. Had the odd dabble with other roms etc but i always find myself back to Havoc.
Of course its all personal preference really, but Havoc for my usage is the all round most stable. Give a bash and find out for yourself!

I have heard it first from you. I guess it'll be last. Mi 6X or MiUi is much better in many ways than Mi A2 or stock Android one. Be it camera, battery backup or the overall experience. Only a handful of Mi 6X users are using custom Rom as they are satisfied with the stock. Relatively a large portions of Mi A2 users are using custom Rom. Why? Ask yourself.
The choice of rom always depends on your need. If u want a rock stable rom, then I suggest you to try LOS or AICP. If u want to customize as much as possible and want many features,then you should give Havoc, RR or crdroid a try.
I personally use Havoc. It's quiet stable which is impressive for the amount of features.

Let's see what my reasons for not liking MIUI 10 are: inability to update from OTA without having to lock yourself into MIUI forever, camera quality (which - you can try to deny it - but has long been an issue with MIUI), the risk of bricking your phone if you mess up updates, the simple fact I want to test different options before I settle on a final ROM for a phone I use for more than just watching YouTube videos and jerking off; is that enough for you or should I look for more?
Plus, what's wrong with you MIUI fanboys anyway? A man can't ask for an opinion without the MIUI cavalry coming to the rescue of their beloved OS?
Just loosen up a bit, it's not like I'm asking you people to modify your own devices. As someone else said in here, the best mod for you depends on the use you make of your phone. I guess I'm going to try Havoc and then decide whether I like it more than the stock experience!
if you like miui try rom from xiaomi. eu... is mine daily driver as i liked more miui from android one and ghe bugs you said just no exist

Yes you can test whatever you want. But what you are saying about MiUi is pure wrong. Some uninformed guesses I think. I won't entertain you on all the matter you have described. Just make a poll of Mi A2 camera vs Mi 6X camera. Better make a poll of Mi A2 vs Mi 6X. Or you may find some information already before creating a poll. Search XDA.
I think that we better stop agruing about it. It leads to nothing that we can learn or play with. Love Miui 10 just use it; Hate Miui 10 just don't use it.
Want it better huh, go to feedback place or email to the developer team.

Stock ROM users, so little annoying to use ColorOS, but ok. Need to get used to it.

Well source code will be released in December and it'll take few months for devs to create custom roms. So I'd say even the ones who always use their devices with custom roms/kernels will need to stick with Color OS for half a year ? I'm not too jolly about it but it's something I can use to experience stock rom and experience so I'll be able to share native opinions here.
Color OS is not half bad. Though it has horrible memory managament and aggressive app policies plus security. It's kind of a feature that comes with devices imported from China. After all the government still has to censor and regulate things thanks to Communism. I'd say you can get used to their Android skin. The only thing that is bugging me is how strict their third party app security is. It won't allow to install a lot of apps and will scan each app for half a minute before installing. You can't even turn off this kind of strict app censure unlike Xiaomi devices with MiUi skin.

Don't be. It's close not as bad as sounds. I used it with ease for more than a week even though I'm an advanced user who uses magisk and lucky patcher for debugging reasons all the time and Color os has made it really difficult for me to use them. If you're an average user color os can be a fine daily driver. Even though it has stupid memory, battery management it can still last a day. I've successfully ditched color os thanks to @thesprintster for his unofficial lineage os I can live with a near-stock aosp like experience with face unlock, fingerprint, lucky patcher, magisk working fine. The only thing that custom development couldn't solve (yet) is the 48mp camera which comes with color os. If you're the type of person who uses high resolution pictures all the time I advice you to stay on Color os. If you can live without it(like I do) I can fully help and guide you how to install lineage or aosip rom on your rm5p or rmq. It's up to you whether or not you buy this device but for me it was a best buy for 164$ and I don't regret buying it even though I've bricked my device like 10+ times in the early testing period.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, I removed it from my basket, was going to buy it on AliExpress' 11.11 sale and decided not to.
Good to know that it's not all doom and gloom. Probably have to wait for more dev work if Realme open things up.
How's AOSIP working on this phone? Using the AOSIP Pie ROM on my current phone and having no end of problems now - random reboots, boot loops out of the blue and battery drain (Honor 5X - old device I know...)
Thanks again.

Everything is fine. Just as it should be. I've tried like 7+ gsi roms and now aosip and lineage. All of them works fine and without issues. I've been on lineage for a week and battery/performance is way superior to stock chingchong color os ?*
ColorOS is pure ?. Heard that android 10 will be close to stock android.. really? Saw the screenshots recently.. same colorOS crap! Why they make based on colorOS? Cook up a ui based on aosp and call it stock android. I think actually realme misleading buyers that they are going to implement "Close to stock android"!!??
Hello everyone, recently i picked up mi 9t. What a phone...
I can say that i am more than satisfied with how phone performs and what i got for 300 bucks. I decided to make a short video review and give my opinions about it. I am decent user which means that i am usually using my phone to browse around the web, instagram, watch youtube and some movies. I would be more than happy if you can give me your opinions and if you have any question do not hesitate to ask me. Also, i will make some ROOT/TWRP/ROM review videos so support is more than appreciated. Have a great day everyone!

I really think the Mi 9T is a great phone with the latest Urnyx Gcam without unlock the device. This phone takes beautiful night photos and using astrophotography setting compared to Miui's camera. It has been about 7 days that i own the Mi 9T. With certain reviews i have seen about how Miui's bloatware (and google) crippled the battery life can perform and by using this phone in real time. I think the phone can truly shine with custom rom or by using Miui EU Rom's. I have the 6GB version and this phone is running very smooth. Messenger can be hit or miss when answering, the front camera tends to not pop up at time. (So far 3-2 ratio of the camera popping up verus not) I jave not try gaming because i use my Mi Max 3 for that and also to keep the integrity of the Amoled display. As far as youtube goes, few videos take full potential of the whole display ratio and some not. When it does, the display is amazing.
That is my opinion about this phone. Tomm. i will be able to unlock and use the Xiami EU finally and can go further on what can this phone do.
For Xiomi.EU to work.. just format data and then enter "yes". If not force encryption will stay on and the phone will be rebooted back to TWRP Recovery. Also don't mount system when installing magisk.

Yeah, indeed.
I am also very curious how Roms are working and what can mods improve in terms of speed and battery. I cant say its not good but i think that this phone can do atleast a bit better in those terms. I applied for bootloader unlock 2 days ago, i will need to wait 5 more so i can unlock my phone and get my hands on rooting, installing twrp and so on. Ty for ur opinions.

Well i am going to use Xiaomi.EU first. I don't like the custom roms only because the gestures have lines appearing at the bottom and the bottom sides of the screen. Can only make the side arrow gestures dissappear only, on that note, i swtich to Xiaomi.EU for full finger gesture w/o them white lines appearing.
I would recommened Extended Ui Rom if you want to go in that direction.

Yes I would agree with your ROM choice from reading on XDA, but what about full screen gestures (I think it's called) in magisk modules? Doesn't that remove the lines at the bottom and make it MIUI like?

I have not tried any magisk modules except for YouTube Vanced Black. I found the module, i guess i can try it out once i switch to a custom Rom.
Yes, the full screen gesture works.
Can confirm i really prefer the device.
Owned couple of flagships like the oneplus 6, but i like the mi 9t a lot more. The full screen is amazing and everything just works and is fast enough... Even the battery outperforms every device i owned. The phone is a bit on the thicc side... But that isn't a bad thing.
For the price, you get more for the money.
I had one screen failure, that resulted in sending it back and received a new one after the same weekend. Suffered from "ghost touches" in the area where the statusbar sits... After a couple of days it resulted in screen failure considering the top area unusable. Now i got the new one running no problems, even the fingerprint is faster.
I have been rooting around, runned HavocOS 2.9. i really liked the rom but i preferred stock due to slightly less battery drain. The downside of rooting this device is that there is a lot of stuff scattered around xda and the rest of Internet with not the best description about for which version its made for (redmi or mi 9t) or what it modifies or does... Which resulted in flashing a stock rom that made my phone think it was a Redmi K20 instead of a Mi 9T... It did boot tho.
Now i don't do much anymore with toying and flashing around like i used to. i just use audio enhancements, certain themes and adblockers. I mainly use the phone for whatsapp, youtube, android auto and music.

After I saw notch of OnePlus 6 I understood :laugh:
Thought it was tear drop notch but more like iPhone, but still.... Pretty impressed to hear that!
Looks like good customer service too, I haven't even unlocked it, it's fine for me and will personalise more when I unlock it like to icon, nothing too major cause like you I prefer stock. Better battery life is all it take for me, if the ROM is not a trash experience of course.
For me it was manageable to navigate through the threads and see what's up.
Oh and also about the description I believe it is meant to run on both, and Dev decides it to be named K20 or Mi 9T depending on their device... I'm pretty sure if you asked them to change to your device's model name they would be more than happy to help out.

The notch on the oneplus 6 was not even that bad, i liked that phone but battery life was not good enough, and i go to a lot of festivals so battery is important, and sound recording quality which also sucked.
The Mi 9T on the other hand succeeded in everything i want on a phone. Android auto works, music is good, wireless audio also, battery is very good, recording quality in both sound and video is good enough (seems cheaper devices can record more bass ).
I am not going to bother with the devs, staying stock with a few magisk mods which is enough
Btw for people trying to flash stuff on this phone, make sure to read on about encryption because it can screw you over when flashing goes wrong. And maybe use a USB OTG (or something similar) so when you soft brick your device you can still flash stuff in that way... If you're usb drive isn't encrypted
By the specs one might think that this is a great phone. Actually its the worst xiaomi phone i ever had (and i had a few). I am really disappointed by it, mainly because of the software. Many people have issues with battery drain. Mine is randomly crashing, no idea why. Sometimes it suddenly drains the battery completely within 1 hour, randomly, without any announcement. My girlfriend told me once that she tried to phone me but it woas not possible. I did not believe her first. I had no notifications about missed calls. A few weeks later i got a SMS from my mailbox service - 13 people failed to phone me.
It could be a great phone but you cannot rely on it. So it's basically useless.

I don't know if you are on stock software... But maybe try to reset or re-flash its stock firmware those problems can go away. I have no battery drain, no problems with calls either, maybe you got a faulty device like i did.
I have no problems with my device, besides returning it for screen failure once and it got replaced within a few days.

I agree, i actually miss my Note 5 Pro (6 GB version). The camera on the Mi9t has GREAT specs but it don't take too much better pics than the Note 5 (both without GCAM). Not to mention that most cameras are useless, only 2x zoom is not good enough and the other cameras are too much of a low resolution that make the pics even worse (so the cams are useless). The popup camera sound as a dream, but it isn't. It already gave problems to me (and many others) and the ONLY fix is to re flash the persist partition, where we lose DRM for Netflix. The popup also make the phone too heavy and thick for my taste. MIUI actually run smoother on the Note 5 than on the Mi9t, the community also is bigger still on the Note 5 so we have MUCH more ROMs and mods... This device has still buggy TWRP on backup and restore plus decryption error on TWRP. The amoled screen also has terrible color calibration. Oh and the fingerprint sensor is the WORSE i ever had
I'm not too happy with it. One thing i learned with the mi9t is to NEVER buy a smartphone with moving parts, either popup cameras or folding phone. It is asking for middle term problems.

That isn't a small problem, though.
Also about flashing, i see many people who brick the device for no reason
Well, had it for 2 months and sold it, and got a used Mi8 instead. I couldn't stand fingerprint scanner which is really not so good, and battery life was ok but not good enough for a 4000mAh capacity. Even with debloating, dark mode etc. there was always some drainage. Mi8 is a lot more optimized in my opinion.
Recently I dropped my Mi8 and broke the screen, and decided to skip Xiaomi for the time being due to Miui 11, which looks nice but it's animations are overkill, and they are really annoying.
Got Huawei Nova 5t instead (although I hate Huawei), but it's the one of very few devices that still has physical fps scanner, and can easily get up to 10 hrs of sot.

Good choice. Sadly, perfect device doesn't exist. I would prefer Samsung with snapdragon (in my opinion OneUI is the best skin right now), but they are too expensive. I've been checking out the new S10 Lite, seems good, probably fps sensor is cr*p as in all Sammy phones, but who knows...
The only two downsides I can think of is camera crashing in pro mode and screen which got scratched with a fingernail
What can I say about this device is that I have some mixed feelings about it... The phone it's amazingly fast, I can do anything in a few seconds, but I have a big drain on the battery... I tried every ROM possible, any battery tips, nothing seems to help me, I can barely get 4h SOT with mi band 4 constantly connected, wifi/mobile data always on, location on... Other people are getting 7-8h SOT and I can't get more than 4h SOT... I'm somehow disappointed at this chapter but I really enjoy the smoothness of this phone, the amazing photos taken by the gcam, and the support of the community. Overall it's a great phone but a great downside it's the battery life if you put the phone at work
