I am in dilemma between these two phone, both have same prices.
Stock Android > MIUI (I utterly dislike li)
A1 wins.
SD 636 > SD 625
Pro wins.
Audio jack quality (I care about my music experience):
Mi A1 (can confirm it is really good) > Pro ( not good, as per reviewers)
Camera (Not that concerning to me) but:
Pro > Mi A1
I will take the Pro with onscreen buttons so i can arrange the back button to the left. I can not do that in A1.
And looking back at the Xiaomi's track record, I can't see Pro getting any AOSP ROMs soon.
Bottom line.
If I get A1, i get good music quality, stock android with updates. Compromises include, reverse physical buttons and a older SOC 625 thus lower performance.
If I get Pro, i get good screen, very good performance, good cameras. Compromises include, MIUI.
Help mi guys.
Note 5 pro:
Will probably get ROMs in some months like redmi note 4.
Better camera.
I don't think sound can get any worse than Mi A1 with all the hissing.
Better display.
Better battery.
Better performance.
Does it have gorilla glass? Redmi note 4 didn't and it sucked.
Mi A1:
Slimmer.
Stock Android. I actually like miui tho.
ROMs cooking right now.
Well that concludes what I think, note 5 pro without any doubt for me. A1 is a rushed phone with bad audio and mediocre cameras and a smaller battery. I actually prefer my redmi note 4 with custom miui over A1 except for the camera.
Also I'm a bit biased for miui because I'm learning Mandarin ATM haha. But Roms will be there and be awesome quite quickly anyway so stock Android won't be far away for the note 5. It has none of the dual partition stupidness

I did not experience any hissing in A1, the dac is quite powerful just use a good quality headphone/headset.
Okay i am thinking of compromising with MIUI if only it answers my some questions.
Can I directly reply from notifications?
Can I swipe the notifications from one finger?
Can I snooze the notifications for minutes to hours like in nougat/android?
If MIUI can behave like stock android then I can compromise.
Can the miui apps be disabled? Because my whole ecosystem is on Google apps. Like calendar, contacts dialer, etc.
Whats the status on the ROMs for Pro? I know it's too early to say as the phone been just released?
The dual partition is quite handy though, i saw my friends phone update seamlessly just needed a reboot and that too was quite fast.
The DAC is bad for low ohm in-ears.
I think I could answer from notifications. Swipe notifications from one finger? Hmm I guess.
Well you can disable sync or put DNS mode. Or disable apps with powersaving.
Disable apps, with root that will soon be possible and without I guess some but most not.
ROMs, nothing so far, but note 4 was quite fast. Anyway, if unlocked and flashed with miui.eu it will be quite lean with mostly Google apps. Except for the necessary phone functions
My choice would be note 5 pro and after some months flash miui.eu or a stock build. Regarding dual partitions, Yeah sure they speed things up a bit but we only get at most 1 update per month and updating on miui takes at most 5 minutes so for me I would rather not have them and have more storage + easier rom development.
The only things that annoys me with my A1 is the hissing and camera quality. Otherwise I like it, but I would even take the regular redmi 5 plus over it so..
I really like my Mi A1. Good lil phone, I'd go for it again!
Before you make the jump, i would say just get a hands on experience of RN5pro. Cooping up with a 185gm+ device and that too having pretty wide width doesn't sound a pleasurable experince for prolonged usage.

"Think you could answer from notification.."
Please tell a concrete answer, like in whatsapp you can reply from notification itself.
"Swipe Notification.."
Sorry, my bad, i meant to ask if i can expand notification with one finger to see the contents not swipe away the notification. Do Notifications get bundled if there are many of the same app?
"Well you can disable sync or put DNS mode. Or disable apps with powersaving."
Isn't that too much work to just snooze the notifications for one particular app?
"Disable apps, with root that will soon be possible and without I guess some but most not. "
Can't i disable miui's calender app to use google calender without root?.

Yes i did notice the width, i need two hands to operate it weight is okay and manageable. Well from the reviews and comparison pro is a bit narrower and a bit taller, so i would need two hands to use it anyways, gone are the days of the likes of Nexus 5, i miss it.
GSMArena says it does not have compass sensor. Is it true?

Cant say if WhatsApp works but email and sms and telegram for example does.

They bundle.

I dont remember and I wouldn't do it myself. But its possible in various ways and also you can filter content to the lockscreen i think.
"Disable apps, with root that will soon be possible and without I guess some but most not. "
Can't i disable miui's calender app to use google calender without root?
Most certainly you can just use a launcher like Evie and hide the app. Otherwise I cant answer if you can disable it.

Thank you
Which one do you prefer? Oxygen stock apps or google apps? Why?
Anything Google is superior to the One Plus versions. Partly why I bought this phone was because of reviews from tech sites like XDA that said OOS was like stock Android with a few tweaks to make it better. I came from the Nexus/Pixel world and expected that kind of experience with OOS but OOS isn't anything like a stock Android experience .
At the time shameless tech shills were claiming that OOS on the OP5 was almost stock Android OOS disabled Android Doze by default and hid the toggle to enable it in the Developer Settings. One Plus even conducted a poll on their community site asking OP5 owners if they thought Doze was a useful feature. Does that sound like a company that cares about providing a stock Android experience?
Oxygen is so heavily modded an Oxygen kernel will not run on any custom ROM compiled from stock Android source. This is actually a big deal if you like to flash custom ROMs because that means developers have to create separate kernels for the OP5 depending on whether a ROM is OOS based or Android based. Most devs don't want to go through all that hassle so there are hardly any custom kernels for the OP5 that can be used with non OOS custom ROMs.
OOS is 100% coded in China by the Hydrogen operating system team and is inferior to stock Android when it comes to overall stability and also to compatibility with third party apps. Some apps from the Play Store have issues on OOS because Oxygen contains so much non standard code. The OOS version of Oreo contains a lot of Nougat coding that isn't supposed to be there so sometimes third party apps respond in unpredictable ways.
The Google versions of dialer and messaging contain more functionality than the Oxygen versions. The OOS dialer doesn't even use the stock gesture of swiping up to answer a phone call. One Plus thought doing the exact opposite of normal Android was an improvement so you swipe down to answer calls instead. Sure, you get used to the switch after a while but why should you have to? What exactly is gained?
Then there is the OOS camera app which probably provides the worst picture quality to camera hardware ratio of any stock camera app on any Android phone. The OP5 should take iPhone quality pictures with the camera hardware it has but a $150 Samsung phone takes better pictures. The OP3/3T even takes better pictures. An Oppo phone with virtually the same hardware as the OP5 takes much better pictures .
Why?
Picture this. You are a talented young software engineer who just graduated with honors from a Chinese University. Is your dream job going to be at One Plus which sells over 95% of its phones outside of China? One Plus is a very minor brand in China, the country that all of its programmers come from. Oppo and Huawei are going to get the best and brightest programmers. Then come ZTE, Xiaomi, Coolpad and TCL/Alcatel, all of which have a much larger presence in Asia than One Plus.
Basically OOS is programmed by the software engineers nobody else in China wanted so anything from Google is inevitably going to be far superior.

ROFL what the hell are you talking about? The phone is perfectly stable. I've never installed a custom ROM on this phone and had it since launch. I am rooted with custom recovery. No issues with the OS or 3rd party apps in my experience. I run about 60 apps. Of those only Google apps I run is sheets, docs, YouTube, calendar. The rest are 3rd party apps. I know there are some issues, but not unlike any other OEM out there.
LoL you make it sound like the phone is unstable, unusable, worst camera ever. It is the fastest, smoothest phone I've used and I came from a Nexus 6P. Also the most insane battery life of any phone with less the 4000mah battery. You sound bitter

Sure it is. That's why the official OP5 support thread is literally nothing but hundreds and hundreds of posts from people who don't know how to deal with the bugs in OOS.
On XDA (which has allowed itself to become a shill site for One Plus) users have complained about poor picture quality in apps like Snapchat, out of sync audio in streaming apps like YouTube, Bluetooth not connecting properly to their automobiles or headphones, stuttering Bluetooth playback, stuttering or FC's in specific Android games, delays in receiving notifications from various apps, inaccurate GPS location in Uber, Pokemon Go and other specific Android apps, delays in receiving SMS messages, photos and videos that disappear permanently from the phone without warning, OOS cam not saving photos or videos to the phone, Volte not working, WiFi calling not working, the phone not ringing on incoming calls, alarms not going off when scheduled, phone call rings and notification sounds when the phone is set to silent, Google Services force closing, Google Assistant not working, the phone suddenly telling user that his pin is incorrect or requiring a pin or password that was never set up, all smart lock settings disappearing, the phone not locking even though no smart locks are set, the fingerprint scanner not responding, WiFi not connecting, WiFi connections that keep dropping, unexplained battery drain and on and on and on.
The Android DRM that allows phones to stream video from sites like Netflix in 1080p is only the latest One Plus programming fiasco.
In case you missed it users need to temporarily return the phone to One Plus (in North America) or an authorized service center (in India) in order to get DRM support added that should have been on the phone in the first place. But if you flash a custom kernel or a custom ROM or factory reset your phone or an OOS update goes wrong the DRM support might go away again. One Plus can't tell you what will happen because they really have no idea themselves.
People need to stop their blanket knee-jerk defence of One Plus or they will never get their act together .

Well something is off with the DRM thing. I look at YouTube 480p and can it it's nothing like 1080p, but when I look at Netflix and YouTube at 1080p, it's the same. So Netflix certainly isn't streaming at 480p on my phone. I'm stock rooted with Magisk with official Netflix installed from the playstore.
And every phone had the same thing with people talking about bugs, it's no more then anything OEM
@jhs39 you turned this thread into a hate thread against oneplus. If you have something to to contribute to the question of the op please do is, otherwise let it be. Constructive feedback and talk is always welcome

I can't agree as far as bugs are concerned. Every OOS update has bug fixes to patch problems created by OOS code. When I had a Pixel XL I think there were two bug fixes in 8 months. With my Nexus 6P there were probably a half dozen bug fixes at most over 18 months. My previous phones from Samsung and HTC did not receive a steady stream of bug fixes every month.
I honestly can't believe that anyone who has ever owned a smartphone made by literally anybody other than One Plus would make the statement that you did. Most Android stock ROMs are so stable owners are lucky if they even get fairly regular security updates. OOS has a never ending need for bug fixes because OOS does not conform to standard Android code.
The custom ROM xXx No Limits which is OOS based perfectly illustrates my point. The Aroma installer includes choices for various install modifications that would not cause problems on other Android ROMs--you can install Google Dialer and messaging instead of the OOS versions, Pixel or another custom launcher instead of the One Plus Launcher, Google Camera instead of OOS Cam and other stuff to try and make OOS feel more like stock Android . But the further away you get from 100% OOS with the choices you make in the Aroma installer the more likely it is that xXx No Limits won't boot past the startup logo or will be very unstable when it does boot up. The dev of xXx No Limits isn't an idiot and he doesn't intentionally include options that will cause problems. The options are there pretty much because there's no way to predict what will clash with each new build of OOS. When xXx users figure out a mod causes a problem they flash the ROM without it and then try again in the next update.
I really wish people here would stop with the never ending stream of excuses for One Plus. The One Plus motto is Never Settle. Why are owners here so eager to excuse pretty much anything that One Plus does? Wouldn't it be better to get One Plus to actually live up to its motto?
Neither. Custom ROM without gapps.
@jhs39
Not sure what you've flashed pal but OOS is stable, rapid and works perfectly. Lol.
Not only that but stamina wise please show me a pixel or Nexus which will give your 10 hours SOT.
Performance wise again it's top tier, runs Zelda the Windwaker perfectly, what more do you want.
As for apps Google is the way, that's it.
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!
Buy a Mi 9.

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!

The Mi A2 already produces quality photos and yields solid performances on OTA. Let me try to rephrase/dumb down that question for you:

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.

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

Yeah, unfortunately yes, and they're not doing something about this... ?
So I was going to buy this phone today. I recently had to sell my iPhone X and I think this phone is good but I have a worry about bloat/software updates and performance. i was going to buy oneplus 7t but it seems like I can't find it in my country
can I just install stock android on this and call it a day? I'm worried it'll still lag and stutter cause I know the stock one is a little stuttery (My step-sister has one!) . I can afford the pro too but this is much cheaper and I never play games on my phones. I just care about UI performance and stability.
Is it still easy to install custom roms on phones thesedays? I remember back when I had an htc sensation it was really really easy to install roms etc.
anyone who can give me thoughts here! I also had my eye on the Galazy s10e but it's really small ;-;
do i need to pay attention to anything like the country and model etc?
They say when you use iPhone you never go back, what happened?
Flashing is almost the same as before except you have to unlock bootloader - easy as plug usb and click a few buttons.
You know it all depends on apps that you have? For me 9t is perfect smooth, but I don't use all crappy apps like - fb, toktok, insta, etc.
As for security - if you don't install weird apps and don't open shady websites, you are safe.
It refers to every device with internet access, so don't think iPhone is special (it has flaws like every OS)
The stock rom in Miui 11 Pie have some stutters when reading fingerprint on Always on Display, on recent apps on the stock launcher with full screen gestures and some on the dialer and some on the youtube app on the title of the video... Apart from those things, it's buttery smooth.
Talking about bloat, this is what it comes with (See screenshots).
I haven't tested roms yet but there's Pixel Experience, Paranoid Android.
I'm still on stock and waiting for Android 10, Xiaomi isn't known for updating Android versions but they update their interface even on older phones.
So it's stock bloat, use Xiaomi adb fastboot tool and stick to what you can remove.
I recommend Nova launcher and YouTube vanced.
As for ROM I used lineage for quite some time, but not yet on 9t - I was always very impressed by how fast it could be compared to stock.
You have to read what are bugs and what it could do as many ROMs have different functionality
Well, i use mi9t since 1 month and I can definitely recommend this phone. Just removed few of stock apps and used my preferred magisk modules on Xiaomi.eu, the experience is great. I am playing few games, not the most demanding ones, but there is completely nothing I could complain about even using high settings. The UI experience is flawless for me, 0 frame drops and smoothness in every animation (but I am not using Facebook app and similar trash), I am definitely beyond satisfied. Even so considering great battery, great display, good camera and low price. Fingerprint is better than enough for me after adding second scan of the same finger. Definitely recommend to at least try this phone!

I was gonna go and buy that but i saw the note 10 and I fell in love! so I actually bought that. still can't believe i spent so much money on a phone!
it's very smooth and i don't see a need for rooting or custom roms yet my original plan after your comments were to get a xiaomi and put pixel experiance on it!
Had samsungs, but now they only have curved edges for s and note, its very annoying and edges only looks nice, but are totally impractical

I think you will be more happy importing the OnePlus phone
Mi 9t is amazing phone. Iphone is amazing but battery life I think is better for mi9t or one plus 7t. Iphone software is suited for people that don't want customizations. The reason I don't like Iphones is design-notch is ugly and back camera arangement is ugly. But Iphones have fastest procesors in all smartphones and less issues with laging, crashing. Just dont buy old iphones. I am happy with mi9t, but iphone 11 pro or 11 pro max is much better but the price is a lot higher
