Hi @valerio.tosti
There are 3 differences between the both Xiaomi Mi MIX models:
RAM size 4 or 6 GB
Storage size 128 GB or 256 GB
optical feature - gold circle around camera lens only on 6GB/256GB model
You can use every ROM on both models.
"lithium" is the code name Xiaomi has been choosen while device was in development.
The development code name is often used over the period of development beyond.
There is an special offer that can be used with the with coupon MIX256 @GB
Thank you very much

Hi Guys, are You speaking about "Mi Mix 2 is the new Mi Mix"?
WRONG!
Mi Mix 2 is just a new version of Xiaomi Borderless smartphone.
At the end of march/first days of april, Xiaomi will have an event to show a new device:
XIAOMI MI MIX 2+ (Mi Mix 2 Plus)
same design of the Mi Mix2 but with 6,4" Oled display.
Other technical features:
94,3% display area
Qualcomm 945 (not confirmed)
8Gb ram
256Gb memory
MicroSD + Wireless Charge (we all hope....)
Miui 9 with Android Oreo
same NOT good camera like Mi Mix/Mi Mix 2 (but with 4k 60fps Video) :crying:
*Source internal worker, confirmed from gearbest friends
What do you think about Mi Mix 2 Plus?
Honestly? Sounds Like bs

sounds like commercial develp... S8 -> S8+ -> Note 8
Iphone X -> iphone X+
Lg G6 -> Lg V30
all the "bordeless" have a big brother.
Have sense all this. I'm sad only that we must wait so much months. :/
Unless you have a link to this "fake announcement" i doubt anyone will believe it
So, that's was true

It's going to be the Mix 2S, not the Mix 2+. So it wasn't true. It's not going to be a 6,4inch screen.. This guy probably just summed up some specs he made up which seemed likely to happen in a newer model. (SD 945, really??)
wtf u can do with 8 gb ) ...maxim 6 gb is enough to make the rutine of the day. And second, version with 8 gb ram is not everywehere disponible. so guys, if u want more sofisticate, buy a laptop and when u want to go somewhere, throw it in ur asssss ))

He was just as accurate as most of the "leaks" on the tech websites when it comes to upcoming models. The fact that he did it a month after the original came out is quite commendable. Good for him. You need to chill.
Mix 2S made official today https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-launches-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s-qualcomm-snapdragon-845/
So which after seller usually has it first?
I wonder if it will be compliant with Project Treble
I that case may be it could be worth to change mimix2 to mimix2s....
I thought any phone that comes with Oreo is project treble by default?
Its a shame it only does 4k video recording at 30fps
Hi there,
Have a few questions, before I buy Mi 8. (From China).
1. Any hardware differences between Chinese and Global versions or both are same including LTE bands, the difference only in the MIUI ROM......correct?
2. IF both are the same is it simple to flash the Global ROM and still get OTAs?
3. Should I get Mi 8 6/256 or Mi 8 EE 8/128 GB.
4. Can one flash custom recovery and do Xiaomi phones support custom ROMs?
5. Lastly, is getting a Xiaomi device a smart move, since it would be my 1st one?
Hoping to hear your expert views.
Thanks.

1. I believe the bands may differ
2. Dont see why not?
3. If its the same price then its a matter of preference. EE looks better, 8gb ram but 400mah less battery. The standard model has more storage if you need it
4. Yes
5. Yes buy you may have to wait a while for development to kick off. Xiaomi offer the best bang for buck.

Thanks for the reply.
3. Price of 6/256 is 520 and 8/128 GB is $ 570, respectively.
1 more query, anything on the phone or box (like a sticker etc.) that displays that its a Chinese or a Global version......maybe in other released models of Xiaomi?
What other accessories should I get, tempered glass protector, a case....?

Looking to pick up a CN 128gb variant. Is the Mi 8 worth it for sub $400? I'm able to flash global ROM ton the CN variant right?
https://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiaomi-Mi-8-6-21-Inch-6GB-128GB-Smartphone-Blue-405269.html
I use T-mobile and just want to make sure I'm not missing purchasing the above. Anything I should be aware of with the Mi 8 using it outside of CN or other markets? (I've owned the Mix, Mi 5 and redmi note 4, so not my first xiaomi rodeo) .
I was initially torn between the Mix 2s and Mi 8, but remembered how I hated the FFC on the Mix and it at the bottom. Video chatting wasnt possible as I'd be upside down (duo. has this been fixed?). Mix 2s is about $450 for equivalent 128gb.

Using a CN version with global rom here in Canada. Only real drawback is no Google Pay. Other thing is if it comes unlocked by seller you won't be able to relock BL without bricking it. But if you plan on locking yourself, be ready for the 15-30 day wait period.

Google pay is not working as safetynet check has failed. You can make safetynet pass by flashing Magisk which will root systemlessly and hide from safetynet. Am on the latest stable global rom with magisk 17.2 and google pay is working great

Usually there are differences between bands, but as far as I have read, they both seem to support the same bands and have pretty much the same features. But as mentioned, you will have issues with Google Play, and a large majority of threads have people trying to go from the Chinese rom to the Global rom. As for your chosen vendor, I'm not a fan of any of those Chinese vendors, especially when many of them are known to install what is referred to as "vendor roms" (this is typically a modified stock MIUI Chinese ROM with Google Play installed and a damaged version number which stops MIUI from updating, thus stopping Google Play from being deleted by an update). These vendors have been known for installing malware on the phones as it has been discovered before. If you've purchased from them and are happy with them, by all means do, but there is one reputable mega store in the US that is selling these devices, but 64GB global models only, and they're not as "cheap" as the ones you're looking at. If you are curious:

So if said device comes with a vendor ROM, would it still be possible to flash CN ROM onto it or unlock the bootloader and flash global ROM? Or does the vendor ROM cause issues with all that?
I dont have an issue with flashing magisk, I usually do on all devices I unlock, nor do i worry about TWRP. May even flash an AOSP Pie rom.
My main concern is getting off the vendor rom if it comes with it. I know in the past you could (I think)
I appreciate everyone's input and feedback. Does anyone have a recommended aliexpress vendor to buy from? I see popular, high rated ones with lots of sales but they too are CN model with global ROM flashed..

Actually now that you mention it, one of the main reasons Xiaomi made it so hard to unlock the bootloader was to eliminate third party reseller issues, specifically the vendor rom issue. Now that anti-rollback has also been implemented, I believe that vendor rom issues are no more.
I don't know much about AliExpress, but I do know that it is more trusted than say GearBest and AliBaba. I skimmed through their site, perhaps it is best to buy from the ones with highest orders and good reviews? Ironically, I came across their site for the first time in a quite a while today when I Googled "Mi 8 camera glass protector". They actually have tempered glass for the camera, so I'll probably have no choice but to give them a try.
Anyhow, if you're going to install a custom rom, vendor rom doesn't matter since you'll be unlocking the bootloader anyways.
Getting back to your original question, $400 doesn't seem like a major deal, seeing that AliExpress has the global 8GB+256GB model for $40 more.
The Mi 8 isn't without it's share of camera issues. The video recording on the Mi Mix 2S looks and sounds much better than on the Mi 8. But they both have their share of pros and cons, with the Mi 8 still being the winner of both (depending on your preference). The Mi 8 has a much better looking display (Samsung's Super AMOLED vs JDI's IPS LCD) although as you may know OLED wears off if if not properly taken care of. The Mi 8 has a much higher max brightness too, and the battery life is said to be much better (mine averages at over 6 hours with the brightness at half with heavy web browsing of 3+ hours), but the notchless design of the Mi Mix 2S looks MUCH better. The notch isn't an issue for the most part.
Lastly, I haven't MetroPCS (excuse me, Metro by T-Mobile now ), basically the same thing as T-Mobile. You'll be happy to know that this phone fully supports LTE, 4G (HSPA+) and so on, even VoLTE (make sure you set your region to Hong Kong or India for that to work)!
Hi guys! I'm a happy mi 8 user and I want to buy mi 9.
Anyone jumped to mi9 from mi8?
Does it worth?
Thank you.

If you want to get the Mi 9 then just a direct spec comparison is enough without asking someone who's upgraded, you're gaining better screen protector, smaller notch, better SOC, better GPU, better camera, faster charging, wireless charging... No brainer imo
Good morning and thanks for the answers! Is the camera rly better without ois??

I'm assuming there might be a Mi 9s with ois and larger battery. The Mi 9 will have poor quality in low light photos
Got an Mi 8 blue 128 gb from Amazon WHD Like New for just 320 Euro. Wouldn't upgrade to the Mi 9 bc it is about 150 euro more expensive. Also a problem would be the missing OIS. Especially in Low Light situations. Nope, Mi 8 is still a great device. Btw: the Mi 9 is having a double higher SAR value which I personally care about a lot! 1,4 vs. 0,7.

From the FCC's website:
"ALL cell phones must meet the FCC’s RF exposure standard, which is set at a level well below that at which laboratory testing indicates, and medical and biological experts generally agree, adverse health effects could OCCUR."
Also, bigger OEM's such as Samsung also have devices with high SAR values, pretty sure the S10 or S10+ is 1.5
hello everyone!
so its new phone time again and I've been eyeing the MI 9 for a hot minute; and since its not on amazon im looking to order it off ali.
now my questions are: on the xiaomi website it only specifies an 128+8 version of the lavender, no mention of 256+8; am i getting ripped off?
and also it seems to be the Chinese version with a global ROM, will that be an issue and i should keep looking for a global version or installing xiaomi.eu would make the issues go away(i.e NFC working?)
TIA!
I'm not sure about mi 9, but I saw mi 9 5G with 8gb 256gb.
And yes, with EU rom most things works normally (at least NFC works).

is the back cover piece the same on the 9 and 9 5g? the main reason i wanna go with the one from ali is the color; since the 5g version doesnt come in the glorious lavender i was thinking maybe replacing it with it would be a viable option?

see the battery capacity of the deal you are seeing, if they mention 3300mah, then its a Mi9, but if they show 8GB/128GB is probably a fake, since the only version with 8GB RAM is Mi 9 Transparent Edition, and they came only with 256GB of storage, not 128.
If the product page show 4000 mah of battery, then is a Mi 9 Pro...and the variants there change, see in gsmarena the specs list and see the difference between the deal you are looking and the real specs of the phone.
