Confused between MI 5 & & MI 5S - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Dear All,
I need to buy a new phone & getting confused between Mi 5 & Mi 5s
Please suggest which one is better over all.
Mi 5 3/32 or Mi 5s 3/64 GB
Price difference is only 30$
Thank in Advance

The 5S has a mildly improved processor, uses aluminum, 200mah larger battery, somewhat better back camera sensor, and has a curved screen. Want a slightly faster device? This one.
The Mi 5 has a flat face and screen, uses more glass and plastic, weighs 26 grams less, and despite a smaller battery generally lasts more hours. Hate curved screens? This one.
It's a personal choice, but they're both great. Excellent community support, modded google camera functionality, Android Oreo in beta for MIUI and Lineage 15.1 already available. Here's a nice specifications comparison between the two https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6948&idPhone2=7260#standard,*,*

Isn’t this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...vil.com%2Fto%2Fspecial%2Fo7ryuW&mall_affr=pr3 quite a bit cheaper than Mi 5S ?

More storage is always more storage. I would go for it.

Exchange Mi Max with Redmi 4x

Dear users,
Can you suggest me that should I exchange Mi Max 32 gb with Redmi 4x 64 gb?
I have both the mi max 2 and a redmi 4x. Personally I like the mi max 2 better, because of the big screen and the better specifications. If you use one after the other you do feel a slight difference in how smooth it really is, but only after directly using one after the other. Altough I like the max more, it feels like you have a whole computer in your hands, I am selling due to it's size. It doesn't fit in all my pockets which gets annoying and I don't use my phone for very much things so I tend to stay at the cheaper side of things.
If you have more questions I'd be happy to answer them.
Mi Max is almost 2 years old device now but it does has SD 650 it is good processor with huge battery.
32GB internal storage is not sufficient considering the huge screen temps to install heavy games,apps and to have FHD content.
if you are getting Mi max 32 GB for dirt cheap price then go for it.
My recommendation is to buy newer xiaomi device because youll get new powerful yet power efficient processor and big screen device.
you should look for exchange Redmi 4X with either of with Mi Max 3, Redmi note 5(SD 636 dual pixel pdfa variant), Mi 6X.
if you could give more details at what price and what are your device choices then it would be easy to recommend device.

Mi A2 vs Mate 10 Lite

Hello. My brother is searching for a new phone,and asked me to post this here. Mi A2 and Mate 10 lite are the same price here. Which one is better for everyday use,speed,screen and camera,and best bang for the buck.
Xiaomi Mi A2 all the way. Better rear cameras, better front camera, better software and support, better SoC, USB Type ... I can not see any of Mate 10 lite advantages except bit larger battery, but it depends of software and soc if is any better and 3.5mm jack.
I used to have the mate 10 lite, it's great overall but for the same price Xiaomi is way better (regardless of the ****ty customer support)
I love every aspect of xiaomi mi a2,and was going to buy it but i heard about the goodix fingerprint issue. Do you know if it still exists,and how many phones have this sensor. Im from Bosnia and i dont know whether it will be fixed soon.
Go for Mi A2, this is not even a comparable, mate 10 lite could be compared to Mi A2 lite.
Are there any other probems with this phone besides the fingerprint issue?

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

Mi 8, mi 9 se has poorer cpu
Mi 9 SE has better look, smaller notch, slightly better camera quality.
Mi 8 has better overall performance.
Choose what you want.

Keep the Mi Mix 3 or replace it with the Mi 9T Pro?

WHi there,
i am an (almost) happy Mix 3 user. Almost because the slider mechanism as example given.. I don´t have any problems with it for now, besides a light wobble that seems to be normal on this model in most cases. I am more concerned about the longlivity of the mechanism and the dust that can get into it (using a FitBag for it). I got my device some weeks ago but i am not sure if a phone made of one peace is just easier to maintain. I always have a look for dust between the both halfes of the Mix 3 and baby it. Some kind of stress..
Now the Mi 9T Pro is available for preorder in Europe i think to replace the Mix 3 with it. The problem is that i am not sure if this is a logical step in performance and features..
I am using the back camera a lot and the Mix 3 one is great for me. I don´t want to make a step backwards, but i think a phone made out of one peace makes me feel better in some way.. Can´t discribe it any better.. Maybe i can´t decide and thinking about to much..
Thank you for your input and kindly regards!
I have both machines. I think it really depends on which feature you prefer.
The MIX3 has a better back camera. The 9T Pro could not beat MIX3 in indoor photos (less accurate focus, relatively blurry details).
However, I like the lightweight (compared to MIX3) and especially the 3.5mm audio jack of the 9T Pro. Also 9T Pro has better endurance. I don't need to carry the power bank with 9T Pro.
I'm still asking myself whether these advantages outweigh the slightly inferior camera.
I have ordered a Mi 9T Pro now on Amazon to direct compare both devices. I must have them in hand to make a decision.
I don't know how to rate the slider. I don't use the front cam that often, but the dust that could get in there stresses me in some way, I always blow it out a little bit - feels like the phone needs a lot of maintenance and babying.. Even if I do this without thinking about it to much.
I had ordered the mi mix 3 then I Saw the k20 pro. I cancelled the mi mix 3 and got the k20 pro. i don't know about the back camera comparision but imo the mi mix 3 is now absolete.
I got my Mi 9T Pro yesterday but i really can´t decide between the both.. I "played" a little bit with the 9T Pro and tested everything, but i can´t help myself - for now i like the Mix 3 more, especially design wise. The slider is so much cooler than the popup cam.. Overall the 9T Pro looks so "normal" when you compare it with the Mix 3, the Mix 3 really stands out of the masses - that is why i always choosed the Mix series.
I also started to migrate my data to the 9T Pro but i stopped it at last to go on with the Mix for today. Maybe i start another try today evening, but i am really unsure.
Even if the 9T Pro is a little bit lighter, the battery much bigger and the display looks a bit more colorful compared to the Mix 3, the slider free display.. I am really unsure in the end if this would be my daily driver.
I am not a gamer, but a power user on Chrome and some board apps. Never got the hardware to it´s limits. I also take photos very often, and in my first impression the cam of the Mix 3 is also better. I did a direct comparsion with both phones photos on a calibrated display on my computer.
If you have both and can't decide, may be it is because they aren't that different. If you think the mi mix 3 is better in photo, keep it and wait for the mi mix 4.
Mix 3 has OIS on its back camera, and I think you need it more.
for 4 months I never care about dust in the gap. Never had any issues. Don't let it bother you.
Heck, I even use it naked, no cases or so whatever. It such a beautiful phone.
And I regularly play that slider toy ?.
I agree with abstract123, wait for the Mix 4.
