Hi guys,
1) I'm able to buy the Mi 9 or the Mi 9T Pro for about the same price. Which one should I choose if I value camera quality?
2) Does Gcam work on them both?
Overall and with more features (cause camera is about the same) go for Mi9.
If you dont like the waterdrop notch go for Mi9T Pro...
But in my opinion Mi9 have wireless charging, ir blaster - future proof.
...the good about Mi9T pro is higher battery and back design is more appealing to the eye, but more thicker than mi9.
Wireless charging and ir universal remote are very useful for me. Plus the Mi 9 is thinner and lighter. So I went for the Mi 9.
But K20 Pro has a bigger battery and a headphone jack, so...
The other thing is I'm not a fan of the popup camera. When my phone is on the desk by my side, I prefer unlocking with face unlock, which instant on Mi 9.
But you can't go wrong with either.

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?
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.
I have to buy a new phone and have to choose between the Mi 9 of the Mi 9t pro. I prefer the 9t pro but red that they have stopped producing it, my question is: wil the mi 9t pro receive updates as long as the mi 9 or not ?
Hello there.
I've used Mi 9 before and currently I am using Mi 9T Pro as my secondary phone (My main is S20 Ultra). I strongly suggest you buy Mi 9T Pro for the sake of convenience. I've had better(great!) battery life, notch-less screen, good audio DAC through the headphone jack, and the camera is pretty much the same as on Mi 9. Other than that Mi 9T Pro is missing the wireless charging though I bet you don't care much about it.

Actually, I think both are out of production.
Remember that Mi9 T Pro has been presented 6 months later Mi9, so Mi9 is the older one.
I have a Mi9, it's a good device, snapdragon 855 is super fast and every app work fine.
If I should buy a device today, I would go with the Mi9 T Pro, here are the main big advantages:
Newer
Bigger battery (4000 vs 3300)
Popup camera (Mi9 has a notch on the screen)
And about updates yes, quite similar.
Both are on MIUI 11 and will receive MIUI 12 in the next months. So, no difference.

And , better battery life too
none of them, go for the Mi 9 Pro 5G if you can find it...have many pro's over Mi9 and even more than Mi9T Pro.
Mi9 Pro 5G is a Mi9 with bigger battery and 5G, with the same wireless charging and IR blaster and AMOLED like Mi9, is a improved Mi9, if i know today i go for Mi9 PRo 5G and not Mi9 only because battery is gettin short, like 5/6h SoT after 9 months.
Hi.
I had Mi 9t pro and I switch to Mi 9.
Reasons Mi 9 has wireless charging, better set of camera. Wide camera has autofous. Very rare feature, awesome for macro photos. Better telephoto camera.
Worst battery, missing jack 3.5 (I do not care).
But because of smaller battery it has lower weight. 9TPro is little bit heavy.
Pop up camera on Mi 9t pro is good for uninterrupted display, but it is not so good for face recognition.
I do care for cameras and I really like wireless charging. So for me Mi 9 is better chooice
You can go for Mi 9 Pro instead. It's essentially Mi 9 with SD855+ and 700mAh bigger battery, the rest of the specs are similar if not the same.
The Mi 9T has a larger developer community.
I unlock using face detection, with mi9t pro that feature would be too slow/not practical
Hello guys
I don't know why this phone wasn't in my radar when I purchased the Redmi Note 10 pro maybe I was very obsessed with budget deal and 120hz but frankly after 1 year of usage I start disliking this phone I rarely use the selfie camera and I am on 60hz most of the time to save battery also the phone is a bit big for my hand and pocket.
I found the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro to have a similar offering in addition to headphone jack, but do you think it's wise to switch from 2021 phone to 2019 ? taking into consider that my phone also lose like 100 euros in value already.
