Sighh.. so guys, i had my mi mix for about 6 months and i loveD this phone. but i feel like its come to the end of the line already.
MIUI is basically unusable for me, missed notifications, calls missed by delay of ring & late notifications, group texting is horrible, camera image processing sucks, OS crashes etc. (all this before rooting mind you)
But after rooting all of those issues went away....for a bit.
so since day 2 i had it rooted running lineageOS and switched to RR, but 3 months later and up til today i started experiencing:
Slight screen burn
Constant OS Crashes/Random Reboots
Cell Signal dropping in areas that it didnt while running MIUI
Still bad camera image processing
Call Audio dropping extremely low when volume is Maxed
Bluetooth disconnects while my phone is in my pocket (didnt happen on MIUI)
and several other things.
I work in I.T. and cant have some of these things happening while at work.
I started looking at alternative devices and since the Pixel 2 is too dang much for my pockets I'm considering the Pixel XL.
I hate that the screen is 5.5 inches over my 6.4 but I need something nice that works. I'm wondering if i left if I'd be happy or nah?
Personally, the screen real estate and battery life the mi mix provides are too good to leave for a mere 5.5 inch phone. Also, I'd rather have 1080p over 1440p as I consider it a waste. I don't mind the lcd over amoled, I love the screen just fine, and I don't take lots of pictures so I'm not really bugged by the camera. Overall I consider the pixel xl an ugly ass phone and think it'd be crazy to change your beautiful and futuristic mi mix with that humongous display for an ugly small screened phone that doesn't even have a better processor. Hope it helped

what are ur thoughts on the G6 or Huawei Mate 9?
The way you are talking you seem to have made up your mind already.
I find it odd though that I'm not experiencing any of the symptoms you mentioned.
My guy u do realize your 1 in the possible thousands of people that own this phone correct? Nobody's device is perfect. This is what I'm experiencing personally not the whole mi mix end user list. The only thing I have made up in my mind is that my phone isn't gonna last forever as my daily driver because of these issues so I'm seeking suitable alternatives before I make the jump.
Get the oneplus 5t, it will be coming soon and has a newer processor than the pixel xl. Or s8+ if you can get it for a decent price in whichever country you're from.
I've always rooted and modified whatever phone I've had and I can say I love miui it's smooth it's fast it has built in theme support which is what I mainly rooted for I'm sorry you've had issues u gave miui only 2 days before u jumped ship I would flash stock miui 9 from epicrom and see if issues resolve before downgrading to pixel XL....but with the recent software improvements and price drop essential phone should be a consideration before pixel XL it's newer it has SD 835 and screen size you're used to and at 449 u can still get 450 for mi mix easy and be out no money just my .02

Appreciate the reply! I'll give this a shot, although I dont see why stock android wouldnt give me a better experience than MIUI. I used to love miui back in versions 6 & 7, and im not saying its bad now but i just had a bad experience with it on this device. but ill definitely give it another go!

Thanks ! im in the USA, but i was trying to stay around that 500-600 price point, the S8+ is kinda pushing it being as though its $724.99 over here. the one plus is definitely a contender for the future though
I would try a few other ROMs before getting a different phone. AICP has been rock solid for me now for months.
One issue your having is the custom roms - I tried them all and more or less they all get buggy over time [some more than others]. I run stock global and its has next to never crashed [fc'ed], call quality is fine and carrier permitting the notifications [network related ones] show up fast / local ones never get missed.
Two the pixle only has a camera that's better, screen is worse more or less - storage is A LOT worse and you don't even really get a more durable device.
Been using mine as my daily driver since I picked it up in late Jan 2017 - its really never failed me as long as I didn't go rooting / fiddling with things. That brings me back to something I mentioned awhile back in another post. Miui doesn't like to be tampered with - roms based on this tend to become unstable [been using miui roms since 2008 or so and the behavior has never really changed]. The non miui roms are stable enough until you go messing with them too [especially visually]. In addition to that many of the custom roms seem to leave things out, often little things but they add up to annoyances.
Its your money - but the Pixel isn't the one I would go for if your looking to replace this thing. Its not that good a phone. Look at the Mate 9 / 10 series or some other designs.
Hi everyone!
I recover this thread some time later because I am very sadly considering selling this wonderful device. Development is very poor and doesn't look to get any better and that is a crucial point for me. I mean, I have a Nexus 5, left out from official Google development a long ago, and community's very strong and development is never stopping, great kernels, some good Oreo builds... It is very sad when compared to the Mix.
I love this big guy but probably will sell it soon and move to ... That's the problem! To what??
This discussion was carried out a while back and some new players have appeared since then. What are your opinions? What would be the best alternative?
Top of the game specs and big screen are musts for me and those two features combined make it real difficult ...
Thanks in advance!

Well, we have AOSiP that is going to be updated to oreo soon, and the new notification system in the MIUI developer rom made me have interest in MIUI again.
I agree that the development is poor (although the ones that do/did develop are/were awesome) and its sad to see developers leave but Im proud to own the device that pioneered the bezeless screen and even does it better than the modern flagships (and the MI MIX 2 ) and it is the most beautiful brick in the world.
My plan is to wait for oreo from AOSiP and meanwhile try the MIUI developer rom again with the new notification system (I cant afford a new phone so I have no other choice ).
About alternatives, I think the honor v10 is a great alternative (low price and great hardware and software) Although there is almost zero development in xda for this phone (because of the kirin processor) but EMUI is now great after the EMUI 5 update and huawei phones are a part of the first phones that got the oreo update so the support from huawei is good.
But In my opinion the best alternative is the OnePlus 5T and I think I dont have to explain why :laugh: .

Yeah more or less in the same spot. Still waiting and hoping for the guys behind AOSiP, AICP and Viper to bring Oreo to the Mix And maybe some new developer to get the phone and play around with it a bit.
The OP5T does look cool, probably the best value right now in the market. Maybe similar to Mix 2 although dev support is probably better for OP devices in general.
One thing about new notification shade: it is supposed to be there in the 7.12.8 beta (only china beta) , but it is not there in the same release of xiaomi.eu... Haven't tried official MIUI but I find it strange that it is not in the xiaomi.eu mod. Know something about it?
Searched miui forum and read changelogs and stuff and didn't actually find anything clear on the matter. And no official global beta since 7.5.25 I believe...

Yeah, back cover seems OK but that full display screen is kinda fairy tale. I and some were expecting Mix 2 to come as +6,4'' screen with less bezels and it became worse. So I keep my expectation about the display screen a bit low.

Didn't see it yet. Samsung perhaps does a bit better job over unlimited screen but they cut from edges and put it to top/bottom. Jeans' pockets are not capable to make them fit lol. What a PITA.

Does anyone else think that even years later this phone is still a fantastic phone even in line with mainstream phones coming out now? I've passed up on upgrading on my contract 2 years running now, since my mate gave me the le max 2 not long after it came out. Even looking at the latest Samsung's and and other top of the range phones coming out, I don't see any point in upgrading, the le max with the latest roms that are still being developed, and this phone, I believe is on a par with anything, the hardware is great, I've not had a single issue with anything on this phone at all, not even a slight blip, it's been %1000 solid and I believe will be for a long time still. I look at the latest phones on the market and think, what benefits are there over this, and I see none at all, this phone still runs smooth as butter, runs anything I've ever attempted to play on it perfectly. I just can't believe how good it's been, I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon and never in my life have I had the same phone for so long, but to not have a single fault with it in all that time either, just makes this a brilliant phone. That's all I wanted to say haha, and maybe see if anyone else agrees with me?
Heyyo, I most definitely do as well! It's really impressive how much tech they crammed into this device while keeping it really affordable. It was more than $100 CAD cheaper than a OnePlus 3 and an official release of LineageOS was all the confidence I needed to buy one.
It works great for me and yeah I also don't really see a reason to upgrade heh.
It's really too bad that Jia Yeuting screwed up LeEco so bad when the Le Max 2 and Le Pro3 and their friendliness to unlocking bootloader and kernel source code were examples of how much potential LeEco had if they kept up with devices like this...
I'll be keeping my Le Max 2 for quite and while and keep contributing to the community ROM scene as much as I can! We will continue the work that LeEco started. :good:
Yeah it is great, and the best part for me is I didn't even pay for mine I have a friend who works for twitter and they basically give him a new phone every few months, to use, but to also test out and stuff at the same time, this was one of them. He gave me last year the nexus something or other, I used it for 5 minutes then put it straight on ebay
I have not updated my rom for like a year or so, and I was starting to worry about the lack of security patches and stuff so decided to freshen it up, and I was shocked how active development still is. Just shows that even if nobody else posts here, this phone is still super popular and widely used
A year ago I was starting to get frustrated with it, but then Google Camera HDR+ happened plus a stable Oreo and it's a totally new device now! All thanks to the amazing work of the community!

I know, it is great, my sister just got the galaxy s9 and thinking she was great, I was like your phone cost like triple the price mine did brand new and doesn't really do anything that mine doesn't. What made it even funnier was the fact that hers only has android 8.0 and thanks to the awesome devs on here, mine has 8.1 she was not happy With this new rom it really is a whole new phone and I love it even more now, I did briefly brick it last night haha, but managed to sort it out thanks to the brilliant TWRP and adb sideload
Still loving mine after... a couple of months short of two years I think. Was really future-proofed with 4GB RAM, fast UFS storage, 1440p display and best of all the beast SD820 which has aged well and is still respectably powerful. What a bargain. And the fantastic Oreo custom ROMs we now have make it even better than it was originally and keep it bang up to date and relevant. There are just two things I wish were different about the phone - I wish it had better battery life, and I wish it had black top and chin bezels because the black borders on the display look bloody ugly with the gold top and bottom and would be much less noticeable if all black.

Exactly it's still running perfectly now even compared to the latest phones. The black screen edges have never bothered me, but you're not the only person I've seen that doesn't like them. As for the battery, mine was fantastic, would last 2 days easy, even with an average amount of usage, only now I've updated to Oreo, the battery is much much worse, so may need to try all the latest ROMs to find one with the best battery life.

I couldn't tell you, until the other day, the last time I'd flashed a new ROM was over a year ago, but like I said, I think it could have been RR, but either way that rom is old, a year plus. And I'm not talking two days heavy use, was like 2 days of average use sending messages, the odd phone call, Google searches and stuff like that.
Excellent phone.
I bought this phone for 200$ a year ago and till now I haven't found any smartphone as good as le max 2 under 250$.
All my friends also like this phone very much.
Only con for me was the crappy Chinese UI which came in build but thanks to the excellent development group, stable oreo roms have taken this phone to a new level.
I will use this phone for another 2 years.

Yeah that was the only downside, all the Chinese junk on it. But yeah the custom ROMs make it perfect. I am surprised because there was less development going on for this phone when it first came out than there is now. And I agree, I genuinely believe I'll be using this for another 2 years easily, if not more. I just don't see any upside to paying out money for a new phone that would not perform any better than this already does, and may only have an extra hardware feature or something else like that. I mean even if a new phone had triple the ram and triple the CPU power, what's the point? This phone runs everything perfectly fine, no amount of power is going to make a smoother experience than something that's already as smooth as you can get haha. I get no lag at all doing anything with this phone, and I've never had any issues running any games, even stuff I've seen that is incompatible with this device on the play store, I download it elsewhere and it runs perfectly haha. All I need to do is find another Oreo ROM with better battery than this one.

I think he just released a new release candidate which isn't part of those last few work in progress builds so I'd search that group for replies by Sergey as he is the maintainer of rrps.
RR Nougat was officially maintained by andr68rus who has moved onto the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and there was an old and buggy Official release of RR O by unvesh but tbh they should just take that down as unvesh put out on release version and then bailed for a Xiaomi Mi A1...

Haha yeah it was over a year ago when I first used a custom ROM on this phone. It was only 3 days ago I finally upgraded to Oreo, mainly because I was worrying about the lack of any security patches in all that time. I'm really glad I did because it's like a new phone now, just a shame about the battery drain, I don't spend long periods out of my home so it's not a massive issue, I've been trying to find a fix for the network standbys battery drain which at the moment is using %30 of my battery and seems to be common to all Oreo ROMs and even the stock ROMs on new phones.

Heyyo, unfortunately that is the Achilles heel of the Le Max 2... Cellular radio. The hardware is not very good compared to other devices released around the same time for the radio antennas in our device which is why a common complaint about the Le Max 2 is low signal quality a lot of the time...
On LineageOS 15.1 I tried to mitigate that issue by using Xiaomi Mi5 (Gemini) vendor blobs for all cellular radio activities but it's still a bandaid on a broken bone and only does so much... I don't know of any hardware mods to improve the cellular radio antennas on our device which in theory would do a better job of fixing the issue
Agreed this phone is still a beast. I've been on Omnirom 7.1.2 without problems since I got it and have felt no need to upgrade to Oreo. Are there any actual plusses, apart from reduced battery life?

To be honest I never even knew there was an issue with the radio, I've never had any issues with low signal, in fact I switch my network from LTE to gsm/wcdma preferred so I only get 3g not 4g as on 3g my signal is much better and I get up to 3 mb/s downloads and on 4g is usually less than 1 mb/s so in theory the radio should use less power with a good signal as it only boosts the power in low signal situations. Also on my last ROM I never had an issue with it draining battery, after draining a full charge, network standby was usually around %5-%10 of the total usage, since coming to Oreo a full drain to %1 has network standby as %30 of the total drain.
Hi,
i'am looking forward to buy me a new smartphone. Is the A2 a good choice especialy when i want to have good LOS support?
I could get it for about 170 Euro in germany (4/64GB)
Thanks
Don't go for it

For me, it's worth it, although some user reported some issues but mine is good so far, almost 4 months now..
About LOS, A2 still doesn't have official build or official support yet, maybe soon.. But A2 already got official Pixel Experience rom which is better than stock in my opinion.. You can try other rom like Havoc or Pixys, if you want more customization
And I think you should wait a bit more for Redmi Note 7, it's a bit better than A2, based on the spec sheet
https://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_7-9513.php
Thanks. I dont want to wait - i need a new phone now. Redmi 7 global is not aviable yet and when its aviable community roms will also take time.
What is with security level in the a2 - is it possible for me to use the tan generator app from my bank ... n ooted phones the app dont starts ....
I am baffled 2irh the idiotic replies here. Nothing to back them up just don't go for it and put.
I change my phone's about 2 times a year and I love the latest Galaxy phone's as of the s7 and s8 with the latter being my favorite phone of all time, but I also like to use budget phone's of time to time to see how they compare. I have used one plus one, OnePlus 3, xiaomi mi a1 mi a2 some Huawei mate series the max series etc. And let me tell you that this phone is equals in terms of quality to most of the phone's I have used sometimes it even exceeds my expectations.
The phone one flaw is the camera, BUT if you are not a camera head you won't notice the difference that much in your day to day casual photos. Now I do notice it but I also use DSLR and come off a expensive phone with amazing camera, but even in my case I don't mind it it is not bad it is ... Just meh or ok.
The software is amazing, it is not perfect as montly security updates slowly become less and less with time, but it is Android ... What can you expect. Yet I have rearlt expiriqnced any bugs or problems with my xiaomi mi a1 or mi a2.
Build quality is equals with all yestaryear high end smartphones (I am saying yestaryear because it is a metal phone not a glass phone). To be fair there is zero difference with a 1000 USD USD phone at all.
These phones are amazing. I don't understand how ppl can sit here and complain about anything about these phones. And when you add in the price... Pffff. Best bang for buck.
I'd recommend to get the 6GB ram version phone for longer future proof if you like to keep your phone snappy for longer and/or to keep your phone longer in general.
Go foe it mate

Yeah get it, it won't disappoint you
Hello
No worries on my side with this phone
tldr: if you plan for custom roms get a redmi or poco f1. mi a2 is meant to be used stock.
it's biggest problem for banking apps is the lack of nfc.
with mi a2 you pay extra for android one (included in the phone price). if you dont want the official support(stock) then get a phone that doesnt include this.
if you want a better android one go for a nokia
Using this phone for 4-5 months and it's been pretty good. However one downside I would say is the battery. If you're a heavy user it will be pretty tough to make it to a day without charging (especially gaming). Otherwise no issues.

I second that. Battery for me has been a killer with light use of 3 days no charge and heavy use a day with zero issues. Optimisation is key but you can easily get 5+ sot easy.
PS: I do not game on my phone I work on it and with it. So that might be something I cannot comment on.
I can recommend this for the price if you like android one. If you can pay more pick a pocophone (it's day and night)
As almost everyone has said, it is a good phone, specially for the price. Coming from a Nexus 6P I was happily surprised by the performance, I can play quite a few GameCube games on Dolphin and games like Tekken, FIFA, Asphalt 9 and Horizon Chase run really well. I haven't tested Fortnite nor PUBG, cause those are not my type of games, but I've seen videos where those run fine. The only downsides are the battery (could be bigger, but it can last a day with moderate use) and the lack of Camera2Api support out of the box. If you value Android One, this is a great phone, you could check some Nokia phones but those tend to be a bit more expensive. If you don't care about MIUI, you can get a Redmi Note 5 Pro or 6 Pro, or the Mi 8 Lite. Those have similar specs, bigger batteries and might be cheaper or the same price.
It's awesome phone for that price ... Especially if you flash some custom rom and root ...
I'm not thrilled. using it for a few months now. general speed is ok. unfortunately bug fixes (including maxed out CPUs) and updates are not xiaomi's priority. you get what you pay for i guess. (even though the hardware is ok for that price)
also: hands off Nokia of you ask me. check out the anger in their Nokia 8 forum for example. they are treating their customers worse than any other company.
Hi,
I think it is kinda my fault, but this is the second time my screen broke from just 6 inch drop. And last service centre kinda screwed up the back panel so now camera gets dirty from inside.
Now, I am thinking instead of fixing the screen and back panel again, it is better to move to new device. Obviously Android one is a priority but not a big deal. I want to just find a phone with super fast charging and decent cpu for less than 20k INR. Couldn't give a crap about camera or selfies to be honest. So, I am focusing on oppo r17 pro and vivo v15 for now. Although I heard about mi's 100w charging. Is there any phone with that tech coming out in next few weeks? I guess I can hold off on the purchase till next month easy.
Anyway point is, I am looking for suggestions on a better phone to switch to. Something that doesn't bother with cameras and focuses on raw power or battery instead.
I'm looking at the Mi9 at this point. My Mi A1 is on the verge of unusable now. Battery still drains 30 to 40% overnight since android Pie and now my on-/off-button has decided to open my camera most of the time or just do nothing the remainder of the time. My GPS seems to always think that I'm driving on top of buildings or just doesn't find a signal. Apps like Google Maps have become so laggy that I can't even type text in the search bar.
Android Pie really ruined this device for me.
I would go for Pocophone f1.
I'd suggest the Mi 9t, or wait for the Mi Max 4.
My A1 is still perfectly fine, but I keep an eye open for a possible replacement. Android One and easy bootloader unlocking is a must for me, so this rules out almost all manufacturers. Nokia looks promising, but their stupid policy with bootloader unlocking prohibits any custom development. Pixel 3a is just a bit too expensive and doesn't have a SD card slot. I guess I'll just wait for Mi A3.. If I wouldn't care about root and related stuff, I would surely pick something from Nokia line.

Why the Mi 9t? I feel like it's not as good as the Mi 9. What makes you move in that direction?
The issue is that price of phones are getting higher and higher everywhere... I first thought I would not buy Xiaomi anymore, but now when my A1 dies I'm thinking Mi A2 or hopefully A3 by then, if it's not too expensive (or A2/3 lite).
Android One is a must for me, I don't want any MIUI sh*t on my phone

i think will be better if you found the source of consume and optimize your phone.

I'm looking at the Mi 9T right now. It's so damn hot. My Mi A1 is usable but not suitable for my developer stuff. Battery is OK, surprisingly no issues there. My power button is also nearly unusable, double or triple clicks 80% of the time, I feel your pain. My GPS also doesn't work like at all. It takes so much time to lock, it just constantly shows that I'm in my house, when I'm for example driving on a trip, 200+ KM away from my home city. In these moments it doesn't even know it doesn't work and sometimes it takes so long to lock location (I'm talking 10+ minutes) that I just end up asking someone else to give me their phone to check where am I. The device isn't laggy overall but the eMMC write speed has degraded 2-3 times and sometimes I get a significant stutter (unusable point) for something like 1-2 minutes until it fixes itself and continues working as usual.
Overall pretty great as a 1.5 year old budget phone, my past experiences have been worse. I'm looking into the Mi 9T.

Couldn't agree more.
I'm waiting for Mi A3/A3Lite but I'm afraid I'm going to lose some of the features that made me "fell in love" with MI A1:
-Optical zoom
-SD card
-FM radio
-3,5 mm jack
-easy unlock method
-selling price <220$ (200€)
If Xiaomi will make a 2019 mid-range smartphone with these features (and possibly add some useful stuff like OIS or wide-angle camera) I'm going to buy it at day one.
But I don't think it's gonna happen
ZenFone 6 looks great. Fairly stock and amazing top specs

500€ here in Italy. I won't spend over 250€ for a phone.
For €250 you can either buy used phone or something from Xiaomi, Meizu and similar companies that sell cheap phones. If you like to put Custom ROM, look for a phone with good dev support.
I don't know, maybe RN7 Pro if you can get it...Or wait for Mi A3, it should be awesome phone and price is speculated to be around 280 USD which is around 250 Euros.

Personal Advice: Don't get a Nokia phone. I thought the new Nokia keep their phones overpriced because you're paying for quality and support. Not the case. I recommended Nokia phones to a few relatives, all got problems. Ranging from not charging from time to time, to much bigger stuff like not receiving notifications from messaging at all, even resetting the device and disabling battery optimization.
Many may disagree with me but Nokia phones, even ones part of Android One, are in fact NOT stock Android. It looks like Stock Android but it doesn't *feel* that way. There are soo many changes under-the-hood, the phone works worse than it should with "stock" Android. The software, as pure as it is, has sooo many glitches and I just don't know why. Updates fix and break things constantly. How can you mess up stock Android?! How does that even happen?!
At least in my opinion, Nokia phones from HMD Global bring tons of headaches and aren't reliable at all. Add the ultra high prices for what you get and it becomes the brand to avoid in all cases. Better just get another Android One. The best Android One phone right now IMO is the Motorola One Vision. Performance is little on the weaker side but is still 2x better than Snapdragon 625 and not much worse than a Pixel 3a. Otherwise the phone has an SD card slot, really solid cameras (again, subjective but photos seem excellent to my eye), good battery life, super attractive design with that hole punch, 21:9 screen and the ergonomic body and all that comes for a price right around 300 Euro (even less in some markets).
Thanks for the advice and warning. I will check Motorola in more details, just hope that it isn't as big as other Motorolas which I was considering before (at least I remember them being large ). Mi A1 is probably the biggest form factor which I accept. In fact I would prefer smaller phone, but such aren't really being produced anymore (or they're so crippled in HW that it doesn't make sense to buy them).

Mi9 SE is a very good phone and it's not so big, but it lacks 3.5mm Jack and SD card. And it's not Android One.

I have checked the One Vision in person and compared to my Mi A1 it's even smaller. It's the same height but it's narrower.
Vision one looked fine, until I found this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-vision/help/restart-unlock-t3933674
I know that many phones have bugs, especially soon after their release, but bootloop just because of using fingerprint unlock or changing the default USB mode is a show stopper for me.
I will check the development progress from time to time, hopefully there will be TWRP and Magisk available soon and fixes to stock ROM. Luckily I am in no hurry to move from A1 at the moment, so I'll wait for A3 as well.

Come on! It's just one minor bug, don't act like A1 didn't have like million of these. It will surely be fixed in the next update. The One Vision is a great phone and I personally think Mi A series don't have anything to impress me anymore. In fact my next phone is NOT going to be an Android One. I'm more of a Xiaomi fanboy, so I'll go with the Mi 9T. I love MIUI, as weird as it sounds. But for people who need stock, I still recommend the One Vision.
Hey, I'm looking into getting an upgrade from a rn7. I was thinking of getting the mi A3 or the mi 9 lite. Checked at one of the mi stores and saw that the mi9T's price is not that far off from the other two. Would the 9T be worth it? Saw some issues on the forum about the whole sensors thing. Only way to avoid that is to not tamper with the rom right? Any input would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
The phone overall is great with no compromises considering the price. Sensors are working alright with roms (depending on what rom you use as most of them are still under development).

As a owner i don't advice to get the Mi9t. I would get the A3 or the Mi9t PRO.
We have great, but very few devs and i though i would love the popup camera but i hate it
I got the Global Xiaomi MI 9T here in Mexico
I sold my Iphone X and realized that my economy at the momment cant afford an expensive device anymore.
I got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 pro , was crazy cheap, i was like "let's mod it, doesn´t matter if i brick it"...
What an awesome device, custom comunity was rich, lots of roms, kernels and stuff.... it was a really fun adventure, what an awesome Price/Spec device...
OK, then i wanted to upgrade to a Mid Range Phone with an oled screen , the screen of my RN5pro was broken...
I was between the normal RN7 and for more money the Mi 9T global 128gb (at the price of the 64gb)... so i picked the 9T...
At the begining i was very happy but with time my opinion changed , i regret not taking the RN7 (non pro)....
Ok...
The custom rom comunity is beginning, only very few devs for roms and they need support , the 9T was rapidly shadowed by his Pro brother the Mi 9T Pro...
My phone is Stock i only unlocked the bootloader ready to flash the only official custom rom... Havoc
Stock MIUI in the global version comes with google and Xiaomi Apps , double apps.... Gmail-Xiaomi Mail , etc , the usual bloatware of xiaomi , i use the Java tool to debloat it, now is more light...
GPS works good ( i use it every day), everything in stock just WORKS , nothing rare or buggy.
I only play clash royale, a light game no problem...
Device is too wide, like the redmi N5pro i had.... i dont like wide phones anymore, it's heavy, that gives you a quality feel but too heavy to stay at bed with the phone...
Screen quality for me is just ok, i love oled since my S8, this phone in my opinion was like my RN5 pro with oled...
The same for performance, my broken RN5pro almost with any custom rom feels the same as my Mi 9T....
Sound is ok , the fast charge is great and the adapter comes in the box, the battery is just average for that huge size, is more the restrictive work of MIUI....
The pop up camera ... i don't take many selfies is below at this price range.... the main camera is ok, gcam doesn't improve it dramatically like my RN5pro, looks almost the same ...
I prefer IP68 with notch than a pop up camera... i had an S8
Overall... is a very, very average device, an OK device, doesnt shine in anything but doesn't falls in anything.... with a grey future thanks to the Pro version, we need to keep motivated the devs ...
Im gonna say, go for the normal Redmi Note 8 in 64gb , save money, it's gonna have a HUGE rom development thanks to the pro's mediatek....lol
i should instead got the RN7 or waited for the 8 (normal versions not pro) or for a little more a brand new S9(normal for the width size) or other last year flagship that dropped the price...
Sorry for my english, in general terms, get a 9T if is pretty cheap...it's doesnt shine and doesnt dissapoint....
It's just my opinion, i had many flagships in the past but economy is ****ty in my country and i was looking for new options.... Xiaomi is the brand to go for custom rom/price/performance relation, but you have to choose the right device....

Thanks very much for your input. Im considering the mi 9T because of the 730, I kinda do mobile gaming like CoD and vainglory so the 730 would be a great upgrade. The other phone I'm considering that's officially released here is the mi A3. I saw the mi 9T and yes it's kind of wide. Have you encountered any issues with your unit so far?

That's funny, what you feel and where you come from is my history.
Here in Brazil. i got the Redmi Note 5 Pro too, crazy cheap, build quality is great (i actually miss it slimmer and metal body, i prefere it over the Mi9t Glass thicker body) and the FP sensor may be on the back but it worked like a charm.
Mi9t is a phone that i kind of regret to buy, i should got the PRO version to have amazing mod community that they have.

The problem is that the software bugs it easy, only by flashing a new ROM, it broke 2 times and i could ONLY fix by flash a new persist partition AND LOSE MY L1 DRM.. When i say broke it's not even that it wont open.. but all the time it open and close with a nasty error message
Hey guys,you can't say that this phone isn't good just because there aren't many roms for it...
"Average battery"???
Tell me,how many phones can last a day and a half - two with 10h SOT with one charge?
This phone is great,I love everything on it :good:

I have a mi 9t and my girlfriend too, both devices working great (my pop up camera makes a louder noise than my girlfriend's but it turns out other people have this issue, and it's normal) so don't worry about it. Performance excellent, love the phone, I used a mi a2 before and I tought I would switch to a custom rom instantly but now I love miui, so I recommend it.
And yeah if light use, easy two day battery life (I have 2 phones to prove it, believe me, great battery life!)
Thanks guys. Can you give me you opinions about gaming and audio quality via headphone jack as well?
