Hello everyone. I got a question about different xiaomi phones. So i am looking for new phone and at this moment the most impressive phones out there is xiaomi. Can you tell me please which one of these are the fastest with the best specifications not only on "paper" but when holding in hand as well. What i mean by that is some phones have pretty nice camera and cpu/gpu specs on paper but the camera in reality doesnt work so well and they are slow as hell after few months usage.
So i am looking into a phone under 300$:
Xiaomi mi4 (there is a lot of them, not sure which one is the best)
Xiaomi redmi note 3
Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro
If you got any other suggestion of the phones under 300$ feel free to post. Also do you know any legit sellers who sell in europe? thanks
I'm going to change from mi4c, which i have used for about 3 years.
My budget for searching of the new phone is about 490$.
After i surf the internet and done some researching, i've been thinking of either buying Asus Zenfone 5Z or Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.
Overall, i prefer performance over camera, and mostly use the phone for gaming.
So, what do you guys think? Which one should i buy?
You may don't notice any difference in gaming. But on MIUI 10 (still BETA but I have it) there is some very very interesting features for gaming mode.
If you decide to go with the Mix2s have a look at my post. I am $120 more than your budget but you would have the top of the line Mix2s running unlocked running MiUi 10 Global beta.
The best thing you can do is wait the Mi Mix 3 witch is coming in less than 2 months.

I don't think I can wait that long. I'll buy the phone about in the early August
I hope the mix 2s will drop at that time

Yeah, but the price will skyrocket two times than mix 2s, and will be normal in two months too. Its because you know, it needs advanced technology to manufacture full bezelless display phone with durable motorized camera. Why does mi 8 still have nonsense chin although theres notch? Its because xiaomi is still not capable of making chin less phone, include mi mix 2s..

I think Xiaomi can do it but not at a price point that makes sense for them. Xiaomi is a value for the money brand. The only way to make a phone with an edge to edge display and no chin with current technology is with a foldable OLED display but that technology is too expensive for use in a mid priced phone unless you planned to cut some serious corners in other areas like performance and overall build quality. Xiaomi used an IPS LCD display on the Mix2/2S to keep the price around $500 at launch. Xiaomi doesn't have any models with a base price as high as flagships from Huawei, Samsung or Apple whose phones launch in the $800-$1000 range.

The Iphone x costs apple about 360$ to make and considering Xiaomi doesn't really sell their phones for much if any profit, I'd say it's possible.
The cost of manufacturing the phone is not the total price of the device (you have to consider the price of the manufacture, logistics, software costs, etc.). You can't compare it like this if you don't have the full picture (which hardly anyone has).
Hiya, I just came across this story on GizChina
It purports to be a report of GeekBench data from a Pocophone F2, but with the specs being identical to those of the F1 (same SoC, same storage) isn't it more likely that this is an F1 where someone has modified the Build.prop?
Not even 1 year rip
Might be the armoured edition of 6/64 gb ....!
I will be very pissed if Xiaomi makes my F1 obsolete in just a few months. ?

I wondered that too, but among the specs the phone reports is the model name "Poco F2" - presumably the Armoured edition wouldn't carry a different name?
I reckon it's a hoax, though time will tell
I've read a couple of reports claiming that the F2 will indeed have the same SoC and memory options but will have improvements in screen and camera. Might be a tough sell, given that it would be up against the upcoming Lenovo budget flagship, with an SD 855, oled screen and in-display fingerprint sensor.
Further, the Lenovo won't be shackled with Miui

One plus does it every 6 months
The screen is fine, camera good and does a decent job. It's the SoC and RAM that sold me this phone.
Just giving a better screen and camera will drop this phones worth to less than $200US phone for me.
I want the latest, not the outdated, let's not adopt Apples model...
If I can get it for a song even better, there is no brand loyalty anymore due to the OEM's not having any loyalty either.

But trust me, ZUI is way worse than MiUI... except for the advertisements part...MiUI is a lot feature rich than ZUI and has lesser bugs... saying on the basis of my experience with my Z2 Plus.
People on the Amazon page are literally commenting to change rom immediately upon delivery!!! Say how bad is that? At least we can bear with MiUI and there are a lot of stuff we like, e.g. the theme engine, for which I have like MiUI ever since it's onset at the time for the first budget android device, my Galaxy Apollo.
You can like MiUI, but you won't at all like ZUI.
It pissed me off why would someone talk about poco f2 when poco f1 is barely 5 months old. Just stfu and enjoy the poco f1 at the moment.
before any of you guys think of jumping ship to lenovo because waaaoooooww 12 gb of raaaaammzzzz
1. They ignore customer complaints
2. Buggy software, you thought his was bad, well oh boy its like poco x10 google play music crashes every 5 minutes, on their DOLBY ATMOS phones.
3. Their flagships only get 1 bug filled major update
4. Be prepared for a nonexistant volte update and nerfed/disabled quickcharging.
5. crashes and be prepared for 0 support / 0 fixes / all troubleshooting by customers
they cut alot of their r/d department and software department, because of their phone sales took a 70% dive last year
just advice STAY THE F AWAY from LENOVO fellow indian readers and others alike.
at least xiaomi responds to customers, you would be lucky to have even 1 partially working custom rom because they close source everything, never use dual pixel cameras, have no ois.

That's a slightly odd response to a sketchy sounding news report, but, hey-ho. Remember that the likes of OnePlus release two flagships each year.
@pingufanpoy - yeah, Lenovo are pretty terrible wrt updates. I had a Moto g5, from Lenovo; fairly nice hardware but rotten update schedule. The Lenovo P2 was very well received - great hardware at a good price point - though again poor aftersales support.
Having said all that, the reported new Lenovo hardware sounds very attractive; notably its sd855 will be 5G capable, if that's of interest. Sounds like competition is heating up in this segment which can only be good news
I used to have a ZUK phone and the updates were non existent. I woldn't buy a Lenovo again.
About to buy the Xiaomi Pocophone F1, but I've got wind that there might be the Pocophone F2 that's not very far down the line now. So does it have any real grounds or should I just forget it and go for the Pocophone or is there any better alternative?!

At the moment, for this price range I can guarantee that you won't find any good alternatives. Honestly it's the best value for money phone. If you're in a hurry for a new device then sure you can purchase it, but if you can wait for a couple of months I'm pretty sure they will announce the next version with a snapdragon 855 most likely.

I doubt that Poco F2 would come any time soon. Head of POCOPHONEGLOBAL Alvin Ts is pretty active on twitter, and he convinced me not to wait any longer for the F2.

Well of course they want you to buy the current phone, they always will. That's smart business. No smart company will ever recommend you to wait for the next model [emoji6]
I'm guessing, but most likely they want to work everything out before shipping out the Poco F2. Remember that despite the great idea behind the phone, initially there were issues, like the LCD bleeding issues, and some people having ghost touch issues.
I've never had those issues, but I'm sure that some people are hesitant to get the Poco F2. So I'm pretty sure they want to work out all the kinks and make sure it's priced nearly the same as the F1.
Also they most likely are waiting for the SD855 to be cheaper (I guess) so that they can keep the costs down. Im guessing the F2 will be released before the end of the year.
Reading this after a year of F1 and be like

Ok, Whyred is a solid midrange, great dev community, tons of custom Roms & kernels, no notch and LED notification light... :laugh:
But there will always come the time where you'll have to move on. Redmi Note 6 didn't cut it for me, Note 7 didn't bring much difference in my own opinion but the Redmi Note 8 Series has caught my attention.
I am still not comfortable with the pro version with MTK processor.
Then there is the K20 and the K20 pro, Mi 9 and Mi 9t but I am not planning to spend more than $230 on midrange phone for now.
The thing I will look out for is screen - preferably AMOLED
Good CPU?GPU that is dev friendly and way better than whyred.
Battery 4000mah and above.
I am looking at Note 8pro but want to wait a bit to see more reviews and Dev community response.
Until then, my whyred is still kicking fine with Havoc OS and Kangaroo X OC kernel and GCAM 6.3 working perfectly.
Want to hear your own view.
WHAT'S YOUR NEXT PHONE AFTER WHYRED?
A Xiaomi for sure. Which one? I don't know. As long as my RN5 is in good shape and fit my needs, I'll keep it. I really need the call recording function, and with EMUI you have it, thus no android one for me. And I want to stay with Redmi phisolophy : good feature, good hardware and good price. Perhaps redmi note 9. [emoji4]
Envoyé de mon Redmi Note 5 en utilisant Tapatalk
Well there is a phone suggestion thread to ask whats your next phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
Right now happy with Redmi Note 5 Pro and will not buy any phone till 2020 (or 2021) My next phone will be from Xiaomi only, Maybe i will consider buying Mi A4 or Redmi Note 9 (If it comes with 5G)
I use my phone over 8 months now, Headphone Jack, no Notch, long lasting battery and a big screen, with very decent performant hardware. I will use my phone at least 2 years before I buy a new one. And hopefully when I buy a new one, there will be a mid range phone in the same price range as the Note 5 without any Notch. (I didn't like any types of Notches)
Sent from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 using XDA Labs
My note 5 is an amazing device and does everything I need it to to I doubt it will be replaced for a long while unless something special catches my eye
I recently purchased a note 7 and although it is a slight upgrade to the note 5 it's extra speed is hardly noticeable at all in day to day use I do like the 7's screen a little more even though I hate the notch.
Personally I'm planning to import a Redmi K20 Pro from China on 11.11 (big sales at that day), costs $300 right now

HOW can you and I be thinking the same thing?
I watched Jerryrig durability test on K20 pro right now and realised it doesn't have micro SD card slot
But 128Gb is nice. I am still not planning on spending $300 on a midrange phone since my whyred still serves me faithfully.
I will buy a new phone after 5 years or until I can no longer get the latest android version through custom ROMs.
I bought my Rn5pro 3 months ago and while the Rn6 and Rn7 are available but I choose it and really like it, no plan to buy another one for 2 or 3 years :laugh:

Personally, the upgrade provided by Redmi not 6 and 7 are not worth it. Even the Redmi note 8 (non pro) version is not a worthy upgrade.
The Redmi Note 8pro is a no for me because of MTK chipset could have been a good upgrade.
So, I'll still have to wait for poco F2 or Redmi Note 9 series
A substantial upgrade isn't really in order in that price point yet. It'll be a minor upgrade at best. Go with Note 7 pro. Has good dev support, got USB-C and processor is a decent bump too.

I still don't feel the substantial need to upgrade
To another SD 6** series bc whyred with OC Kernels is doing just fine in performance dept.
Would have gone for Mi 9t but lack of SD card and the Cost of 128Gb type puts me off. Not to talk about missing IR and front facing flash. But I love the Amoled screen but that won't be enough bc I don't like pop up camera. There is also poor development for Mi 9t & K20 here on Xda..
Redmi note 8 would have been the best upgrade if not for MTK Soc. If I sell my whyred, I might be forced to get 7pro while waiting for Redmi note 9 series to drop prices
Having done plenty of research and fully analyzed what I needed for my next midrange upgrade I will place my top priority for the next below and the next option.
#1 Pricey - Value for money is another reason why it will be Xiaomi but Realme is giving them a go in the midrange value for money. I still feel $250 range of phone should be fine for most purpose even strong gaming nowadays.
#2 Display - as a long time Samsung Galaxy Note user (Note 2 & Note 4) whyred screen didn't just cut it for me plus me noticing ghost image on the 3rd day of usage. The next phone has to be a clear upgrade on my Redmi note 5 ai
#3 Camera - decent camera is sure banker. Thanks to Gcam won't be a big problem.
#4 4000mah battery + Quick charge
#5 Not a pop up camera - I hate notches too but tear drop is fair in my eyes.. Dot is worse, Apple/pixel 3 type is worst. I don't like pin hole too. Seriously fell in love with Meizu screen design.
#6 sufficient LTE bands - band 3,7 and 28 are great but can live without (28)
Here are the top 3 I considered since Redmi note 8pro ruled itself out thanks to MTK processor. Mi 9t was close but outside my budget of $250, no SD card and that pop up camera... Redmi note 7 pro could have won the race if not for LCD screen
TOP 3 Considerations
#3 Realme 3 Pro - got almost everything I needed apart from the screen is still not an upgrade to my whyred. Still a good upgrade.
#2 Meizu 16XS - That Amoled screen and design is what I needed right now.
#1 Mi A3 - this one got my attention after all considerations. Super AMOLED, global LTE bands triple camera and stock android? Oh yeah! Bring it on... Till I say 720p screen. It is still not easy to say if it's an upgrade on whyred considering it's AMOLED but that resolution made me restless and led me to my final decision...

Xiaomi Mi CC9 is my next upgrade!
It has it's draw backs (like China Rom and less Int'l LTE bands) it fits my bill and ticks all my boxes.
The Good news is - CC9 global version is launching next week (16th September 2019) in Spain but rebranded as MI 9 lite.
Even without the global version, I'll still get CC9. But I'll have to wait a little to see how the Sept 16 goes. Yeah I did a lot of considerations, and research to get here.
I hope this could help someone analyze better or make a better decision for their next phone.
Except something dramatic happens (which I'll let you know if it did) Mi CC9 with ($250 (deal on Aliexpress) is my best decision for now
I am done with miui.... Moreover stock android 10 now comes with dark mode and miui like gestures... So thinking to go with a stock android phone next.... I was eagerly waiting for A3, but then the 720p thing happened... For time being am waiting for a worthy stock android phone below 14k... Not sure, but Nokia 8.1 may b the nxt one... Let see how its priced during big billion days and Great Indian festival...

That's a great advice but the reason I joined xda is to get the latest android version (custom ROMs) and never depended on OEMs. But some OEMs are now great with software updates.
I usually go for SD processor not more than 1 year old with great dev community that way you might be getting updates for 2+ years after the OEM drops the device. I usually don't use phone more than 1 year or at most 2 years after which I resell (because I take good care of my phones) add some money and buy a better one.
The mi 9 lite (rebranded) Mi CC9 was launched today in Spain for €319 6/64G that will buy me a mi 9t (with better processor) and left with some change.
The way Xiaomi prices there device can be confusing.

Great idea!
9t is a great choice if not one of the best for midrangers but I feel K20 Pro is somehow in
Flagship range even though it has midrange price.
Either way, your choice is great and availability of funds will be the deciding factor.
Both devices have great dev community too

Hi guys,
Just checking with you, is this still worth it to buy as of April 2020?
Mi 10 has been released here but the pricing is too much 2599 AED which is almost near the Samsung flagships and iPhone 11. iPhone SE 2020 has been released as well with identical pricing to mi note 10 pro
What bothers me is the software update which is the usual complaints about Xiaomi phones. I don't think there's an official Android 10 now.
Please let me know of your thoughts and advise if I should buy this or not, or if you have other recommendations, it is welcome too.
Thanks guys.

Thanks for your reply. Mi 10 is released here but the pricing is too high
It still offers the best allround camera performance at the pricepoint it has now, which for me is the most important aspect.
But it is very slow at getting android 10, xiaomi in general is slow at updating to new android versions.
I would still buy it again, or wait for a global redmi k30 pro.
Mi 10/pro is just way too expensive.

Mi Note 10 is still worth for its main camera and 5x optical zoom. These two have OIS!
It is almost the cheapest phone with such camera, and the best thing is Unlockable Bootloader. Huawei and Oppo currently don't offer bootloader unlocking
Bad thing with Mi Note 10 is, the poor firmware development. No official Android10 yet, right?
Anyway Xiaomi lists it in MIUI12 update list so there should be soon.
Whatsmore, we are lacking kernel source or device tree to make custom roms or kernel.
Yesterday, Mi 10 Youth Edition (Mi 10 Lite Zoom Edition) with OIS 5x zoom camera was announced.
If Mi 10 Youth Edition get better firmware development, it will be a better choice than Mi Note 10.

I read today that that Stable Android 10 for CC9 Pro (Chinese Mi Note 10) was just released (V11.1.1.0.QFDCNXM). I think only a few days, then there will be a global stable...
This is the best for my budget but I am thinking due to the software updates. Realme got his own UI now. modified color OS so I am thinking this mi note 10 or the realme x2 pro

The CPU is not an issue at all for my purposes. It's a gaming chip, so even if you play games it should be fine for most titles.
The software is another matter. I actually like MIUI, it's very iOS-like. It's the first Android I use with the stock launcher. But Xiaomi really sucks with the updates. They need to support their products better.
As pinni83 posted earlier, it looks like Android 10 is coming to us soon:

The software is another matter. I actually like MIUI, it's very iOS-like. It's the first Android I use with the stock launcher. But Xiaomi really sucks with the updates. They need to support their products better.
As pinni83 posted earlier, it looks like Android 10 is coming to us soon:

Just in time for the official release of Android 11 by Google.....

So it will be long waiting for the Android 11, yeah? I think I'm gonna go with realme. They are pushing their new UI that looks like color OS with Android 10 already so android 11 can be delivered earlier than xiaomi delivers in Mi note 10
Well, I did bought the MI note 10, and returned it... Decided to buy the realme x2 pro. Honestly, the cameras of the x2 pro are good enough, but the most impressive it's the difference of speed! 500€ for a phone with the snapdragon 730G it's just nonsense. Palm rejection is awful if you plan to play cod os fortnite, at least in my experience. FP super slow compared to the x2, even though the one in the X2 it's from the first generation of on-screen FP, but it's way more accurate then the one in the note 10. The MI note 10 it's a beautiful phone, screams premium, but compared to the X2 pro, for me, it does not stand a chance. We are all here because we like to experiment with our phones, searching for the best speed/functionality, or just to play around. In the X2 pro xda section, there is not alot of custom rooms, but in the last two weeks 3 new custom fw just appeared, so I think it will be a better phone to customize. I'm a Xiaomi fan, but for now, realme is going very strong and very cheap compared to others with inferior hardware.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm checking where I can buy realme with local warranty here in UAE and will decide based on that. oneplus 8 here is a Chinese version flashed with oxygen OS so I doubt about 5G. I can buy realme here but it is import from India. I will check and let you know

5x might be too much, I usually use less than it, like there should be step between

There are 500 steps between from 1 to 50X (not really usable) in 0,1 steps. Best results are up to 5x, but good results also to 10 and 15 times. Look here:

My last Xiaomi, Mi Mix 3 with Snapdragon 845, was not really faster, in some cases Note 10 is a little bit slower, but in most, especially networking, it´s much faster and smoother. But i´m not a gamer, for my usage the Note 10/ Pro is fast enough for all apps. In next month we will get Android 10/ MiUI 12, this will also be a big step forward.

Thanks. I am thinking about this too. MIUI 12 previews in youtube are very cool with the features I am missing in my former MIUI devices.

I advise you not to buy mi note 10 great phone but not support from xiaomi

Why do you say the phone is not supported by Xiaomi? MIUI 12 will be released for the Mi Note 10 sometime in June.
I was about to purchase the Mi9T and was bothered by the camera.
The Mi Note 10 seem to be the best for me.
I still did not purchase it. why?
The main difference from the 9T is the camera, and if that amazing camera lacks performance I'm not sure it worth that difference in price...
would appreciate your suggestions.
I currently have the Mi 9 SE. For me personally the performance is fine (snapdragon 712), battery is fine too (3070mah), camera is great but only with gcam (currently gcam mods have problems support all lenses) also very easy to debloat. I do mostly two things on my phone; browsing and tinkering with the camera. So naturally Mi 10 Note is perfect. I just worry about the size and weight. Is it easy to get use to it?
I'm mostly worried that adding 100$+ for the cameras (comparing to 9T) simply doesn't worth it.
The Note 10 has the exact same specifications in terms for cpu and graphics with the 9T.
The main difference are the cameras.
If the 730 does not stand up with the required performance for such great lens power, there's no use to it.
So here I am puzzled between 9T and Note 10...
