Getting rid of all the Chinese crap and making it familiar to me, more Android like took 2 days. But I would say I really love this phone.

It's a beast too!

Hi. I wonder what memorytype they used on this device, is it UFS2.1 or eMmc memory?
Could you please do a check on your device?
CPU-Z can tell this if you have it installed.
Thanks ?

Found the spec and SD835 used Ufs2.1 memory on the filesystem memory.

Memory (6/8gb+64/128/256gb)
ufs 2.1

Waiting to get Global or Eu Rom instakked before i can use it properly and pas sjudgement on it. i have high hopes for it though

My opinion is that the phone is brilliant and a piece of crap at the same time.
It's brilliant in that it supports more LTE bands than pretty much any other phone (this is huge for me), is extremely hackable, has good specs at a decent price, and so on.
It's a piece of crap in that the software is buggy, the hardware was not thought out well (left-handed users like myself constantly cover the light sensor for example, long-presses are very hard to do for another example) and also, very buggy. The most glaring example is that on the stable rom's modem, it's not possible to connect to 3G networks... at all. You have to install developer firmware or the radio from it just to connect to 3G.
I would only recommend it to people who have an idea what they're getting into. Hopefully there will be a third-party ROM option for which all the features of the phone work correctly in the near future, at which point it would be a better phone.

The official global rom?
I can't use it because it comes with a radio file in which 3G is broken. Updating the radio file to the newer one breaks fingerprint scanner.
But as far as I could tell when I tried it, it has the same issues as the Chinese ROM.

Well, regarding the radio issue, it's already fixed, in MIUI 9.
Plus, there are issues I have which were reported 3, 4 months ago by other people which they've done nothing about.
I'm not very optimistic about it.

Internal specs are the same. Performance pretty close. You get a smaller (shorter) package. You lose the stylus, waterproofing and wireless charging. What would I do? I would keep the Note 8 if I already had it. What would I do if I needed a new phone with the latest processor and 6 gigs of ram with great build quality and an awesome screen to body ratio, I would give the MiMix2 some serious consideration. Especially if waterproofing, wireless charging and the headphone jack aren't important to you and you were looking for great bang for your buck.

I really appreciate the fast reply & the videos you posted! :good:
Thing is, i hate having more than 1 phone, active or not hehe.
I never use the stylus, and only use wireless charging like 2-3 times a week, sometimes never.
So i guess the Mix would be a good device to change to

Personally I haven't seen you list a reason why you should switch. You already have one of the latest and greatest phones, on par with the mi mix 2. Is there something you don't like about the note 8? There needs to be a reason my man. I love my mi mix 2, but if I had a note 8 there's no way I'd switch. That's a way more expensive device.

I did the switch few hours ago, and i'm glad i did hehe.
What i did not like / never used about the Note 8 was the following:
1- Huge size
2- Wrong placement of the FP scanner
3- Low speaker sound
4- Never used the Stylus
& few more.
I know the Note 8 has a far better camera, but i hardly take pics on my phone, therefor, with all that being said, the Mi Mix 2 is the device i should have bought in the 1st place.

Is this phone touch screen latency really so high?

Hi.
I've just bought this phone, and couldn't help but noticing that the touch screen response is noticeably slower than my Nexus 5.
Is it the hardware, or the software?
I'm afraid it's the former, especially considering that this is a china phone, but still, is it possible that not a single reviewer noticed this?
What about you guys?
EDIT: added video to make clear what I'm talking about.
EDIT2: tested the N4, N5, and P9 lite, and I'm 100% positive they're all that much more responsive than the Mi A1.
Does anyone know a way to improve the touch screen response?

Near three months with the phone and I must say that I haven't noticed that this far...

I am facing stuttering while I play fps games, and it's terrible.

You need a phone to compare with.
Ask a friend with a "western" phone to let you try his, and try scrolling up and down on settings page, and you should feel the difference.
It seems like the responsiveness is quite low...I didn't expect this from a 200 € phone.

I didn't either notice any latency. Maybe you can ask a friend with another Mi A1 and try scrolling up and down on settings page, and you should feel if there is any difference.

I don't know if You try to be smart but anyway...
This isn't my only phone at the moment so I can compare with few other phones.
Compared to almost any "western" phone" (whatever that means) within same price range the difference isn't visible for normal eye...
But as I'm not playing games or scroll up/down on settings page as my hobby so the "latency" Yoy are referring to doesn't bother me.
And I can assure You that if the "latency" or lag was common You would see it all over the forum...

I wasn't trying to be smart, I just thought you were using it "by itself" rather than comparing.
I'm not playing any games nor scrolling up and down all day long either, but I immediately noticed a much less responsive touch as soon as I started using the phone.
Maybe if it were true I'd see it all over the forum, but the same happened to me with my old oppo find 5: nobody mentioned anything about the touch screen latency, but it was mile behind the nexus 5, and even the nexus 4.
It's not too much annoying, but I admit it makes the phone feel slower and cheaper.

I agreed with you. And you're right about that issue.
I noticed that thing while playing some games and on some app it's barely happen. I noticed that on Fleksy keyboard ( not idea other keyboard work fine or not) I seen the same question asked by someone in this forum but he or she talk about the games.
I didn't seen that issue with my galaxy s2 i9100

Sir I can assure you that your unit must be defective or your eye is playing a trick on you(or you are very sensitive about the lag you are talking about.).
I am using both N4 and A1, and I frequently change those two for daily use. I didn't feel any difference in responsiveness.
Just to be sure, I compared those two side by side just now, and I couldn't tell any difference. Just to be more sure, I gave my friends those two and encouraged them to try out. They also couldn't tell any difference.

Not sure what do you exactly mean by touch 'latency' but I can confirm that the touch sensitivity on this phone is a little less than other phones. I used mostly samsung phones in the past, the S and Note series, and also the LG G4 and I can safely say that the touch on a 2014 phone 'Samsung S4' is better than Mi A1.
It feels like you have to push in just a little more effort than usual to register a touch, especially in the bottom right corner of the screen. All this fuss was significantly noticable in the first couple of weeks but now its been over a month with this phone so I'm getting used to it. Muscle memory has gotten a hang of just how much pressure you have to apply to get your touch registered.
I tried third party apps like touch calibrator and SGS booster but they haven't helped! Will wait for the feb patch, if it doesn't fix then will go for a root method to increase the touching sensitivity by manipulating build prop.

I'd really hope so, but I'm afraid this is one way for manufacturers to keep down the costs, while keeping up the perceived quality, i.e, they save on digitizers and give you 4 GB of ram instead of 3.
About the N4 latency, I'm not sure because it's been quite a while since the last time I used it, but the N5 touchscreen response is way better than the M1 A1.

I'm not talking about sensitivity.
I'm talking about the time that passes between your finger touching the screen, and the screen registering your touch.

I'm not aware of any.
It can be approximated with a camera that records at high enough FPS and calculating the delay knowing that every X FPS a second passes, like this:

I have also Nexus 5 and haven't noticed any difference in scrolling in settings, apps (I don't play games). The only thing I noticed is that on certain screen protectors the screen is often less responsive.
About "western"-chinese phones, the build quality of N5 and especially for example Samsung Galaxy S8 is way worse then A1 or Redmi Note 3 Pro (speaking of my own experience).

You're right, the Mi A1 uses better materials (way better) than the N5.
My point is that Xiaomi is (probably) saving in other things.
A phone isn't just its case; in fact, a smartphone is a mostly a piece of electronics, and my judgement of it depends largely on the quality of its screen, its chipset, etc.
That said, I don't want to turn this into a war.
I'm not even sure that xiaomi is saving in its hardware (maybe it's just poor optimization).
In the meanwhile, I'd like to hear other opinions, and as I'm exchanging the xiaomi with the moto g5s plus, I'll report back to let you guys know how it feels once I receive it.

Well, I realized moto g5s plus doesn't support google camera hdr+, so that's a no-no for me.
I'm thinking about the moto x4, which is also A1, but I'm not sure if a slightly better camera, IP68, and a better touch are worth 100€ more.
I don't think so.
In the meanwhile I tried again the N4, and the P9 lite, and I can confirm that their touchscreen is definitely better than this Xiaomi.
Still, I'd like to know if anyone knows a way to improve, even a little bit, the responsiveness of the touch.

Apsolutely not worth 100€ more. Btw still don't see any difference in touch screen compared to N5. Are you playing games and noticing this or ? What is your LCD panel manufacturer ?

Untill now. I dont know this happen for all mia1 or just some device like you and me. First, I think this is a bug of software from xiaomi, but try some custome rom outside but still so laggy. The last hope is watting some kernel heavy mod, may be the problem will solve. If not, it definitedly hardware issue, and no way to fix that.

Have you experienced any touch issues with Mi 9T / Redmi K20

I have seen videos and Reddit post about Redmi K20/K20-Pro having touch related issues.
Have you experienced any such problem in day to day usage and during gaming, in particular multi-touch issue ?
Moreover is there any sort of touch latency when compared to the likes of Samsung S series ?
I checked a Mi 9T yesterday and felt that screen has some touch latency compared to s8 or s9 that I have used.

same happening with me. It's ok on daily use, but it makes it impossible to play games like "Alto".

What's the problem? Can u describe a little? I was planning to buy one.

Maybe the screen protector of the phone I checked before was faulty.

Is it ok to buy a 6T now? Also about pwm flickering

I'm planning to buy a pre-owned OnePlus 6T, 6GB 128GB version. It's cheaper here and about six months OnePlus warranty is remaining. Will it be a good decision or not?
Also only now I'm hearing of the AMOLED flickering. I don't have any access to try out the flickering. But I read that switching from pwm to DC dimming option can solve this issue. Does 6T provide that? If I'm using custom ROM do they support DC dimming? Please answer ASAP.

I got mine about 2 months ago and it's really a great device.
The PWN flickering is 0 at 78-80% brightness on mine. I turn off adaptive and ambient display with color set to default.
Love the display and the dark themes

Wait so is DC dimming intended for certain devices which MAY have flickering issues? I thought DC dimming was intended to reduce flickering that generally happens on all Amoleds at low brightness levels due to something regarding the screen voltage, but is only detectably bothersome by some people.

You are correct. The majority of people will not see a difference.
I do not see a bit of difference so I guess I am not one affected (thankfully).

It's been a while since I started this thread. Still I didn't buy it even after some months due to flood issues and it's recovery.
The development support is still strong and that's what I always look for. I read almost all the recent threads and posts in the ROM's thread.
So I'm asking it again is it still ok to buy 6T blindly? Or is there any better phone in this range with strong development support? I can now get a pre-owned 8GB version without warranty for $330 and that's my maximum budget.

So I'm asking it again is it still ok to buy 6T blindly? Or is there any better phone in this range with strong development support? I can now get a pre-owned 8GB version without warranty for $330 and that's my maximum budget.

Unless you need a 300 dollar phone, I would look for a used 7 pro or 7t instead. If you find a good deal you get one for 450 or so, but even new, the 7 pro is 500 right now from OP. The camera on the 6t is a big weak point, especially compared to other phones like the Galaxy s10, which can be gotten for about the same price now.

Thanks for the reply mate. But my budget is only $330 so I can't afford 7 or 7T. That's why I asked if I can go for 6T itself or is there anything other than 6T with same or better specs (you said about weak camera of 6T, so better camera too). Regarding S10 I couldn't find good custom ROM support, that's another top criteria for me.

Had mine for just over a year. Never noticed any screen flickering. 100% stock.

Thanks for the response on flickering bro. Can you please read my previous posts? Will you recommend of buying a 6T now?

OnePlus 8 Pro Screen Issues

How worth is it to buy the OP8P right now in the US ? I am concerned about the huge number of screen problems that are coming up for the device.
I do not change my devices frequently and in need of an upgrade from my current ~4 year old OP3. I need an unbiased opinion on this, can anyone help ?
Anyone from the US purchased this device recently? I do not want to go through the hassles of replacing the device and want to use the device for a long time.

I did from Amazon. No screen issues. battery life had me worried but it's actually descent coming from a pixel 2 xl.
Camera also had me worry... Hit and miss here. The HW is there but software isnt doing the best all the time.
Google cam app seems to be doing a bit better but you don't get the cool macro option. Nights cape does a pretty good job.
Main issue is contrasts being cranked all the way up and images a bit dark overall. Doesn't seem great with nature but works well for buildings and such with angular details

May I ask, when did you buy it ? I'm just trying to figure out whether it was a problem with the earlier models

Got it a week or two ago when it just became available on the Amazon site.
256gb blue model.

Go-to YouTube and search for key word's " oneplus 8 pro screen issues ". You'll then be presented with indian customers being able to see a green tint when the brightness is turned down to zero in a pitch dark room. Hardly something that one does on a daily basis ,? .

Quite a few threads about this issue.
Personally no issues, early adopter too
