So I'm struggling between buying the S10 and the Mi 9. I know, completely different price tags but yeah, both have their pro's and contra's.
I usually love charging my phone quickly, for example from 10 to 60% in less than 30 minutes. (like I did with my OnePlus 6) This would speak for the Mi 9 and the 27W support but is the S10 charging quickly too?
What would you guys prefer? I want to at least keep the phone for 2 years this time.
I charged my S10+ from 0 to 100 in less than two hours with stock charger.
both phones are great , but at the end i choose the s10+ because it will feel more premium than the MI9 , specially the software , as i really love the new one UI

Hey there guys
I am a audiophile who wanted to go for Lenovo P2 just for the sound quality it delivers through headphones. But due to my recent expenditure my budget has taken a hit and I don't think I will be able to afford it any more.
The other reason I wanted to go for it was because of it's fast charging capabilities. Redmi Note 4 runs the same Snapdragon 625, so I was wondering if I can use the Lenovo P2's original 12V charger to fast charge it. is it doable or will I be ruining the phone ?
Sometimes I still think I should still wait and just go for P2 its just that I just love my music ... But I love Xiaomi too, I have bought xiaomi phones for all my family members. I don't care about amoled display and stuff ... I just love quality music and good battery life and terrified of overcharging my phone through conventional slow chargers. (I never sleep with my phone on charge)
Sorry bro it won't work.....
The kernel of RN4 doesn't support fast charging(although the processor does)....
You will need to flash a custom kernel to enable fast charging just like radon kernel in case of RN3....

Did u buy lenovo p2 and does it have audio issues with headphones...
I am having sennheiser urbanite on ear with 18 ohm impedance.
it will not work and even if it is enabled it could damage the phone because the components of the phone were never specced/made to support quick charging.
This is the first time that I'm reading about "overcharging" your phone over night. I've been using smartphones for 7 years now and have charged them overnight about 90% of the time, save for those days with heavy usage when I ran out of juice in less than 12 hours. Care to explain what you're talking about?
OP, wait for 8.5 MIUI update. it is going to enable QC/fast charging mode.
625 supports fast charging but it was not enabled by MIUI. In latest update 8.5 it's going to work as per features mentioned. Check Mi 5 device. for reference.
But "Mi 5" is already quick charge 3.0 enabled at the beginning, comes with a fast charger plug out of the box.. Just look for the specs everywhere

But OP using Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon Mido version.
Also SD 625 supports quick charge but it's not enabled by Xiaomi in MIUI.
http://en.miui.com/thread-642332-1-1.html
There was news earlier about MIUI 8.5 with fast charging support in MI forums. Also MIUI 9 coming in few weeks I don't know MIUI 9 will support fast charging or not.

You need to do some research regarding overcharging. Hopefully this article below will enlighten you.
https://www.google.com/amp/www.androidauthority.com/battery-myths-688089/amp/
Quickcharging isn't that good long term for your battery. While it's safe if it's supported officially for your phone, it really shortens the lifespan of your battery. The amount of cycles basically. It'll start to last less and less much faster than just charging it normally.
I know it's bad for Li-ion batteries, and I think it's even worse for li-polymers because they last even less cycles in the first place.
Hi guys,
Can you tell me where can I buy an original battery replacement for my Mi Note 3? My battery is working fine now, but I don't want to end up buying a crappy battery from AliExpress in a year. My experience with AliExpress is that all of the batteries work fine at first, but they degrade fast. Also the capacity is usually not the same as the one that is advertised. Thanks
There is couple of models on AliExpress around 10$ they are. Even couple of them they sell as "original" . Look for max charge since if it is not good QC 3.0 wont work.

I'm also wondering which one to choose. I had an experience with Redmi note3 I've bought an "original" at Ali, - price was around 15$ and it seems to be slightly lower capacity abt 3-3,5 hours of screen instead of 5-6.
I previously had Mi 5 and on Mi 5 forum several people recommended Nohon brand of batteries. I ordered one because my original battery was terribly weak (~1600mAh out of initial 3000) and after using the Nohon one for one month it looks quite OK (AccuBattery reports capacity ~3000mAh again).
Maybe someone will be useful...
I bought here. this is not the original, but the quality is very good, the capacity is slightly less than the original.
The running time almost does not differ from the original. Using it for several months - everything ok.
Hi all.
I have written a comment to another created threat in mi 9 forum, but I would like to read your comments here too.
I'm having battery draining and SOT problems with my mi 9, like I said in title (like most people I think).
I have tried everything to improve my battery life in my mi 9, and It's not bad at all, but I was expecting better performance for a top xiaomi smartphone with sd 855 and 5 months old in spite of the fact that it has "only" 3300mah battery ...
I'm not a heavy user and I try to get max SOT and minimum battery drain in all my phones, because I don't like changing smartphones very often and I like to take care of it.
I came from a Moto G4 plus, and I had 5h of SOT in 48h without high standby drainage (maybe 1-2% of drainage overnight in 7-9h) with a 3 years old battery and worst hardware and software. In mi 9, I'm getting 5-6h of SOT in 48-72h. Not bad at all, but standby drainage is awfull. It loses 20-25% of the battery every 48h (3-5% overnight), and in a smartphone with such a fair battery it's a problem. If I'm not getting great results with not heavy use and my smartphone is new, I don't want to think in 2-3 years + mid-heavy use ... I have tried everything (full wipes, reinstalling, the most powerfull battery saving, etc) and I don't have great result. Standby drainage is very hight compared to other phones (I have tried a friend poco f1 and I had 10h in 48-72h with 1% overnight drainage. It was awsome).
And now the question ...
I'm thinking of changing my mi 9 for a huawei mate 20... I still have the 30d Amazon refund and I am not comfortable with my phone's battery.
- Mate 20 pros vs mi 9: +700 mah battery and more efficient, the best ips panel without burn-in problem, and fingerprint sensor behind the screen (no like too much in-screen fingerprint at all).
- Pros mi 9 vs mate 20: sd 855 (but geekbech it's very very similar, and antutu winner is mi 9 only for gamming but mate 20 still on top), unlocking bootloader for mi 9 (better comunity in xda, but if emui works well I think I don't need custom rooms, the problem here is Trump/google vs China ... but now apeares to be solved and we would have newer updates to Android Q), wireless charging (I don't use it because smartphone is hotter when charging 3-5º vs cable+1,5a charger, It takes more time to charge with elevated temperature), not jack (better for waterproof), maybe very little better cameras in mi 9 and little better results, 4 months younger (very little difference) and It's the top phone on xiaomi (mate 20 is the little brother because we have mate 20 pro, 20x, p30, p30 pro and we will have soon mate 20 and mate 20 pro; and that could be worst because we will get latter uptdates in mate 20).
What do you think? Would you change mi 9 for mate 20? Reading your comments. Greetings.
If your looking for better battery life I'd say get the mate 20. I've had mine for just under 3 months. Best damn purchase I've ever made (purchased way below retail during trump ban). I consider myself a medium to heavy user (I don't play mobile games however). With some useless features turned off and some fetch services disabled. I can easily get 8-10 hrs on screen time with this phone, it's the best battery life I've ever had, prior I was getting 4hrs with another Android phone.

Heat? I haven't had any issues with heat if by that you mean does the phone get too hot to touch, it's cool the majority of the time. As for performance, EMUI 9.1 is very smooth and I haven't had any slow downs ??.

Just a month ago I had Poco F1. On the battery Sot was similar to the 20 mate. Night drainage in Poco 1-3%, mate 2-5%. Mate saves better on screen on. Performance similar to Poco. If I had to exchange Mi9, it was on mi9t Pro.
I have read several topics about this and still doesn't understand. I was one step from buying QC3.0 from KUULAA before had a bit of test.
Im running pixel extended rom, that can show on screen charge info. The stock charger is out of question. I also have chargers from mi 4 and samsung s5e. And both of them showing 10W charging - 2.4A and ~4.5V. Then i got for test 2 more adapters - one from Pixel 4 and Redmi note 9 pro. They suppose to be QC3+, allowing 18+W charge. Yet - both of them showed exactly the same numbers ( tested with 10% battery).
So the main my concern - im not even talking about qc4, i didn't even saw that qc3 charge that suppose to be 18W, not 10W.
Maybe there is not support from rom? or is this support should come from kernel? Since sd660 allowing QC3/4 but it's own specs
I recently got a new 12 Pro as I hoped Xiaomi fixed the screen and proximity issues from 11T Pro. The 11T Pro is a great phone, the issues I had was a lazy proximity screen sensor which just didn't operate as smooth as an iPhone or Galaxy. No other flaws. So I decided to go with a 12 Pro looking for that screen improvement and a better proximity sensor.
The 12 Pro is everything 11T Pro is, except it does have a better screen more pixels,better colours, resolution and fingerprint recognition that instantly wakes the screen as soon as you touch it!
But still I can get over it that the difference in these two phones is minimal. Genuinely 11T Pro is a monster phone with great components and even better price. If I knew what I was getting, I probably would have stuck with 11T Pro as, 12 Pro is certainly not worth buying of you are coming from 11Tp.
So far from my own tests and checks, 11T Pro tops 12 Pro in every aspect, speed, opening of apps, images and videos rendering which I find a bit disappointed that older phone performs better them a new flagship.
For your info I attached a few screenshot from Antutu Benchmark and Geekbench tests.
So you got what you wanted?
The chipsets are nearing their thermal limits; faster processors, 5G and variable refresh rate displays use more mAh and generate more heat as a byproduct. The area to dissipate this thermal load is largely fixed by the dimensions of the device means hotter running devices. Not a pretty picture when you consider the implications.
Worse accurate color calibration of variable refresh rate displays is imperfect, there are simple too many variables. If color calibration is off, the gamma correction gets skewed even more.
Xiaomi probably had room for improvement with their displays. Samsung's display performance in terms of color rendering accuracy zenithed with the Note 10+.
At least you got a better display.
Samsung's S22U can't offer me that or SOT that's better even with a larger 700 mAh battery. It is a buttery smooth better hand warmer though
Sometimes hardware upgrades aren't a good option...
I also have both phones and I completely agree with nothing you said.

It depends on the usage and I'm using a Xiaomi EU rom.
blackhawkexplained the why and how very well.
Xiaomi Eu rom,same apps same usage.
Poco f2 pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 4700mHa +/- 38 hours/ AOSP +/- 48 hours
11 T pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5000 mHa +/- 35 hours
12 pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 4600 mHa +/- 30 hours
Sony Xperia J(st26) Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 1750 mHa +/- 15 days
Thanks for that.
I'm also using latest Xiaomi. EU ROM on my 12.
11T pro is still on the global ROM
I find the 12 is really heavy on the battery for pretty much very same task and style of usage in comparison to 11T. The battery gets to 25% by mid day while this never occurred with 11T. ( That would be at least around 50%)
According to battery app what seems to drain the batteries on the 12 is the screen! Although I don't have display on,60hz only, etc .

it is possible that this will be fixed with the optimization updates of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 .
Also the battery saver setting set to "close apps after 10 minutes works randomly".
I use a 30w charger.

There are reports here that the latest beta release from Samsung greatly improved the S22U's performance. Global power management tends to cause erratic behaviors of most devices especially bluetooth apps.
