Mi8 vs p20 Pro - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Custom rom development is lacking on p20 Pro camera is obviously one drawback any other reason not to go with mi 8 I want to flash pixel experience as soon as I get the phone I'm getting it on three UK as a upgrade to my honor 8 any input would be much appreciated!

Anyone?

You wont be getting any luck with the P20 costum roms since Huawei somehow made the BL impossible to unlock. Camerawise the P20 pro is better in comparision to the Mi8 already excelent camera. The rest is pretty much the same. If costum roms is your priority then between the P20 or Mi8 I'd go for the Mi8.
Also the price. The Mi8 is much cheaper than the P20 Pro.

The Mi 8 is superior to the Honor 10 in every single way
If this is not a joke, than Mi8
Having p9 right now, after switching from mi4 I would say Huawei software support is pretty sucks. I would pick mi8 imo
I've had the Honor 10 directly after release for one week.
The display is just bad, the fingerprint scanner is laggy, the selfie cam is too shiny and had bad contrasts, some apps are only Snapdragon optimized so they are laggier then on my Snapdragon 820 based ZUK Z2 Pro.
After one week i've send it back to amazon and now i'm waiting for the Explorer Edition.
Have Honor 8 now. Think I may grab one of these as my next phone.
I have Huawei p20 pro, but using mi 8 for daily basis, its better than p20 pro in everything except the camera.
In my opinion Honor 10 has way more better Camera application. Switching camera modes in MIUI is very slow - have to swipe by one item.
And Honor 10 is smaller and that's a pro for me.
But globally Mi8 is a rocket and I'm happy with that phone.

Mi 9 or P30 [non-Pro]

Hi all, I can take the P30 [non-Pro] for the same price as Mi 9, and I am not sure which one to take. If you were me, which one would you take and why? I would love to hear you opinions.
Mi 9 > P30
P30 Pro > Mi 9
But price tag is huge mark there, I would go for Mi 9. It'll definitely have better Custom ROM support too
yhh Mi9 considering it will have more ROM support and its better than the non-pro P30
I know benchmarks aren't everything, but the MI9 beats all Huawei phones including the P30 Pro.
Secondly, Huawei no longer offer a bootloader unlocking service whereas Xiaomi release the full source code for their ROM on day 1. This is evidenced in the amount of activity on XDA for the Huawei, which is very little.
If you take a look at the Huawei forum, you'll see that they say nice things about issues, but nothing ever happens. I waited 4 months and gave up. Now my P20 Pro is on eBay.
And lastly, on the funny side, here's a video on Huawei support

Snapdragon 855 > Kirin 980 performance wise but you won't notice much difference in real world. If you're not interested in bootloader unlock/Rooting and stuff and just want a phone then P30 Pro is better. But i personally am not spending on expensive flagships anymore with phones like K20 pro or Realme X2 Pro in market. Personal opinion

P30 pro definitely has a better camera although I don't own one. But if you're just a normal user who doesn't often use camera then K20's camera is more than good enough.

Huawei no longer issues bootloader unlock codes, so if you ever want to flash a custom rom or modify anything else you won't be able to (except for some paid services which kinds defeats the purpose). That's the reason I sold my View 10 and switched to Mi 9T Pro - and I have zero regrets :victory:

I didn't have the P30 so I don't know - but battery on the Mi 9T Pro is definitely better than on the View 10. Battery is hard to say, I don't take that many pictures

These two phones are not comparable to me, as they are very different phones. P30 pro is a flagship device by a premium maker with a focus on phototaking, hence Pxx. It uses Hiaweis own chip etc. Mi 9T Pro is a flagship but for a value focused brand and it is an all rounder.
You can unlock K20 pro.
You can't unlock P30 pro.
Both send your data to CCP.
Both have very very slow updates (Official).
You can unlock K20 Pro.
Also the Huawei P30 Pro is almost twice the price of the MI 9T Pro (128gb), in France at least.
Even the 3rd party code sellers have stopped issuing unlock code.

P30 has OIS on main camera
9T-Pro has 3.5mm audio jack
9T-Pro has FM radio
P30 has wireless charging & reverse charging
P30 has notch in screen, 9T-Pro has popup cam

I've been playing call of duty with all graphics settings on Mac and get no overheating, in the 3 months I've had this phone I've never felt it over heating, I've watched 4k videos for 1 hour and got no overheating aswell

The only time mine gets hot is when I'm trying to access the internet in a poor signal area, but then that's been true for every phone I've had.

MI8 or MI9T Pro?????

I have a Mi8 for a year, the Mi9T Pro looks interesting, 6/64 brand new for $340, I wanna know what you guys think, is worth the upgrade? I mean, I wanna know if anyone knows if the vibrator engine is better or worse, the camera, the video with strange movements in stabilization on mi9t pro... Mi9T pro also has specific updates? Like device specific updates. Also the audio, on my Mi8 I love it, really loud and clear for me, coming for a OnePlus 3T. I get average 5:30h SOT on my Mi8, on the 9T Pro may I get at least 6:30/7? If anyone knows, lemme know, planning to buy in a week or two.

My suggestion is to wait for next flagship (Mi 10 maybe). I've seen 9T pro. Nothing that much special.
Trust me, Mi9TPro is not worth upgrading.
Mi8 is still too balanced for daily use. The models I've used recently: LG V50, Mi9, Mi9TPro, Samsung S10 5G, Samsung S10E Snap, but in the end I still chose the Mi8 as the main device.
If you want to compare anything between these two models, just ask me

Xiaomi Mi 9T pro vs Realme X2 Pro

I'm looking for a new phone and it's come down to the Xiaomi mi 9t pro or Realme X2 pro. The Realme is a bit more expensive but looks better in all aspects except for the camera and custom ROMs.
For me the availability of stable custom ROMs is very important and currently there doesn't seem to be anything going on for the Realme X2 pro in comparison to the mi 9t pro which is a deal breaker for me.
Is this because the mi 9t pro has been out for 2 months longer or is it a general problem with the Realme X2 pro?

It' s the best.

Why are you not considering the OnePlus 7T? If you're happy to pay the extra for the Realme, then the OnePlus is more or less the same phone (it's really just the camera modules that differ), but has much more community dev support.
Personally, I've moved away from OnePlus because I didn't like how they've continually moved their prices way north, but they are still the most developer friendly and have the most active developer community.

The realme is already a bit over budget and the oneplus is even more expensive and also without a headphone jack.

I'm the same as you, in that I won't buy a phone with no custom ROM development.
Having just looked at the Realme X20 Pro forum, there is zero development, only the legend Mauronofrio has provided a TWRP, but otherwise there's tumbleweed blowing through the dev section. Personally I wouldn't touch it as things stand. If you prefer the Realme and can wait, then hang on and see if things improve in a month or so.
You could also see what the Mi 10 brings (assuming that will be the next Mi phone), it can't be far off. Maybe Xiaomi will include UFS 3.0 and 90Hz, now their competitors are doing this I imagine Xiaomi will follow suit.
X2 Pro arrived very late, not many have bought it tbh, if they can release their next phone parallel to K30 pro then it will be fun. But for now if rather have K20 pro
