Hello.
I am using Galaxy S7 Edge from past 3 years and i am quite satisfied with it no complaints. But now it is old not getting any updates and battery are dying. I thought it is time to change the device rather changing the battery. So in my budget i am considering only two devices after a lot of researching, Xiaomi Mi 9T and Galaxy A70. I find both of these Head to Head specs wise, cameras are almost same displays are almost same but Samsung A70 has slightly lower Pixel Density. I minimum use my device for one year maybe two but not thinking about changing my new device for at least one year. I am getting confused in these two devices and not able to make decision for one. So please help me decide which one will be good for me.
Thanks
The battery for A70 is 4500 mAh while Mi 9T is 4000 mAh. But Mi 9T is good at its triple cameras.
And it is important that A70 is about 15% more expensive than Mi 9T. So, I recommend Mi 9T.

But what about software experience? Is MIUI good and mature as one ui ? Also want to know about the camera of Xiaomi Mi 9T. In MKBHD review camera was not good in low light and selfie camera was also bad.
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).
Mi A2 comes with Stock Android and Mi Note 3 has MIUI based on Android.
Mi A2 has a faster LTE Modem and Note 3 has NFC.
Mi A2 bigger display and Mi Note 3 better battery backup.
Mi A2 Quick Charge 4.0 supported and Mi Note 3 comes with Premium Glass Body, Flagship Camera Setup with Stereo Speaker.
CPU & GPU are same.
So, which one you prefer?
note3
Mi A2 only because of support. Mi Note 3 is better device overall. Build quality as far as I know is better than Mi A2's.
**********Also Mi Note 3 supports 4.0 QC and that "faster LTE modem" since they have same SoC"
Mi Note 3 and Mi A2 supports qc4; wtf? Btw Mi A2 doesn't have qc3 charger in the box, the mi note 3 does...mi note 3 have better camera with ois
Better is mi Note 3, camera erc
Only plus is A2 is display, imo opinion better display. My wife has A2 and me note 3.
My brother has A2 mine is Note 3. Gaming on note 3 is far better than a2 for some reason. Maybe a2 is only 4GB Ram while Note 3 houses 6GB. Camera performance on A2 really good compare to note 3. But I will choose note 3
Hello!
Because my LG G3 is near death, I need to buy a new device as soon as possible and I'm looking for a notchless mi device (price range 300-330€).
I found a brand new mi mix 3 6/128 + mi band 3 for about 295€.
Do you think it is a good offer or better spend 330€ for a mi 9t 6/64?
The pros of mi mix 3 are a powerfull sd 845 and wireless charging with charger included but mi 9t has a bigger battery and fingerprint display module.
What device do you recommend?
mi mix 3 ofc
with the extra storage, it beats the 6/64 mi 9t even with the sd 855.
if ure going to use the phone for gaming or multitasking wise, then opt for the mi 9t. Aside from that, mi mix 3 is a good daily driver for the next 2 years
I would get the mi 9t because of the better battery

Mix 3 is better than the mi 9t, it's just a lot heavier.
Mi 9t pro will be better than the mix 3 but will you notice the difference? Probably not, just the weight
you mean mi 9t snap 730 version?

Yep✌
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 still only has the April security update. It is looking more and more like the phone has been abandoned.
The lesson I'm learning here is to avoid Xiaomi in the future.
So back to OnePlus

Nonsense, it will be supported for many years like most of the Xiaomi phones
Nobody is adressing the fact that the 9T Pro uses motors to push it's camera out. I don't know what the long term affects and wear-and-tear of these new mechanisms is, but I'm more comfortable with a slider design than a mechanical part.
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]

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...

I think Its better to wait for a phone launching with Android 10
k20 Pro or simple. Most probably I would go for simple 9T. But I will wait for dev community and see for which phone out of these two(s) their love will go.

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 so i was going through mi 9t threads and display refresh rate overclock is possible on mi 9t . Since mi 9t also have snapdragon 730, I was wondering if its possible to overclock mi note 10 lite display?
I own mi note 10 lite global.
It's most likely possible, but this phone is dead for mods developers
Mi Note 10 series has different display manufacture from mi 9 series.
It is made by Visionox while overclockable displays are by SAMSUNG.
you should buy a different phone if you really NEED more than 60hz.
i'd never need more than 60hz on a phone. (144hz PC user here)
Please never try to overclock a phone's display. It has a reason that tucana/toco only have 60hz. A green display, ghost touch or glitches may be the result of.
Yes right I used to tinker with my hardwares capabilities back then as well so I do understand. But I also have learnt that it's just not worth the possible damage, issues and higher battery drain.
But then I also don't play Andy games on my smartphone as well, so what do I know
