"Better experience" is a broad and subjective term, there would never be any definitive answer for that. However, you should normally get 'yes' in OP3 forum and 'no' here (some abnormal people say 'yes' here, wonder why they keep reading mi5 forum if they don't like it).

Im deciding too but prefer the size of the Mi5 and the fact its £100 cheaper than the OP3 if you get a 32GB version.

If you already have Mi 5, I don't think it's worth buying OP3 since the hardware is mostly the same.
Things that differentiate OP3 from Mi 5:
- Oxygen OS: If you love stock Android, this is a big plus since Oxygen OS is basically stock Android with some new features. You also get ambient display and gestures while display is off.
- 5.5'' AMOLED Screen: Bigger display (bigger phone size). Better contrast. Saves battery when displaying dark colors. More saturated but you can use SRGB mode.
- Metal unibody: If you prefer metal unibodies, OP3 is a plus. Mi 5 I believe is using glass/ceramic with a metal frame.
- RAM: OP3 comes with 6GB but it's overkill. Mi 5 is perfectly fine with 3/4 GB of RAM. Heck even my gaming PC has "only" 8 GB of RAM.
- Storage: OP3 comes only with 64 GB while Mi 5 has 32/64/128 GB options. Mi 5's 64 GB option is also cheaper than OP3 64 GB.
Camera is basically the same on both phones. They have the same sensor (IMX298), OIS, 16 MP and f/2.0 lenses.
Both have 3000 mAh batteries. OP3 is Li-Ion and Mi 5 is Li-Po.
If you are an audiophile though, I've read that Mi 5 uses Qualcomm's Aqstic (DAC, amp + codec) which is the same setup as HTC 10 and will give you much better sound quality than OP3, since OP3 doesn't have that (I can't find any reference that it has Aqstic) although it's rocking the same SoC (Snapdragon 820).

Mi5 is Best Quality Phone

yes it is worth it. go for 1+3.

If you like larger displays, or oversaturated AMOLEDs, yeah sure the OnePlus 3 will improve your experience. Otherwise you could just unlock and flash your Mi 5.
The difference I reckon would be that unlocking OnePlus phones is a very easy process and do not void any warranties.

yes I think it's worth it. Go for it

I think in my opinion,MI5 have better battery life. If you want more ram,one plus three.

That's what is called having a perspective from all POV.
Xiaomi is notorious in releasing bug-free kernel sources. MIUI was the best in its fifth version (my opinion) and then onward, every iterations has been a crappy ride. And without a proper source code release - the custom ROMs have tough time to work flawlessly. Xiaomi has always been non-cooperative with the Dev community. And have you ever visited Xiaomi forum? I mean... come on!! Whose fertile idea was it to force you to post a "comment" before you can download something (almost all of the time) !!!
OnePlus 3 is a Dev friendly device. Can you give instance of one more company, who releases the source code even before the official release of the device itself?? (Before someone pounds in - yes, I know it was all a part of the large publicity stunts - then again we the users are benefited at the end). I only wish OnePlus 3 came out with a QuadHD IPS-LCD. Personally, I despise Amoled panels.

I'm a diamond member there. That "feature" is poster intention, normal ROM and important tools downloads don't need it. Posters hide download links in their post to gain reputation, to become higher level members as well. It's a system that makes MIUI forum looks active, despite most comments are only "thanks" or "great".

The MI 5 is better than the OP3 only in one aspect : its smaller size. Otherwise, the OP3 is better about :
- sturdiness (remember the iPhone 6 bendgate ? the MI 5 is much worse)
- android development (just compare their xda forums)
- LTE frequencies
Since you are from Croatia, MI 5 does not support LTE band 20 (800MHz), I think that would be the deal breaker.

You see - that was my point precisely! Why would you even 'allow' to encourage the poster(s) to demonstrate a 'reputation-gaining-mechanism' ?!?
And no, that never makes any forum active - all it makes is to create a lot of 'off-the-track' distracting post(s) in the middle of the main discussion thread.
And I am a diamond member too there (with the same name and icon).
Returning back to the main question - OP3 is an unparalleled bargain in the same price segment - grab it with all your might. By the way, I am also keeping an eye on the newly released Mi5S Plus which comes with quite attractive attributes. I doubt what will its price be?

mi5 is lighter, fits well to normal user pockets

oneplus3 is well developed contract to mi5, because xiaomi did not release the kernel source completely.

Guys should i buy mi5 or spend £100 more and get oneplus 3? how much different is the android developing between the two? What I mean is, if oneplus has a score of 10/10 for android developing then what will the mi5 get?

Is the passage from OnePlus 6T to this phone worth?

Hello everyone. I have the possibility to pass from an OnePlus 6T to Xiaomi Mi9T Pro without giving additional money (I bought it on Amazon, but I'm still in 30 days of refund period). According to your opinion, is this passage worth?
Only things I regret of my OP6T are the lack of the wide angle camera and the presence of the notch. Thanks for your advices

If you you know how to get rid of all the spyware (by flashing EU ROM or AOSP ) then yes. absolutely.

I sold my OnePlus 7plus for this and haven't looked back.
Depends what you're after but I find this perfect for me and suits all my needs

True, but software is compatible since hardware is exactly the same. Chinese phone has less LTE bands, thats all.
ROMs for K20 pro can be installed on mi 9t pro and vice versa. thats why it says k20 pro / mi 9t pro in forum thread name

I Wouldn't recommend. OnePlus 6t is a pretty good phone on its own right.

Wow, that's surprising. I have K20 pro, and a OnePlus 7 for my wife. As far as I see the Dual speakers alone are worth the higher price.. The OnePlus 7 speakers absolutely cream my K20PRO speaker in all sense.. Not that I don't love my K20pro. But hearing the YouTube or Netflix on 7 is really awesome...
But screen is about even.

I have both the k20 pro an the OP7 Pro. If you are willing to compromise and want to cut cost the k20 pro is a good choice. The OP 7 pro did cost me about £150-200 more and the difference is visible. The 90hz screen for me takes everything. I even used a 75hz mod for the k20 pro which made a gap slimmer but I still wouldn't sell my OP over the k20 pro. Not sure about the 6T sorry, I didn't have that, but for me the SDG855 performance difference was enough to change.

I have the 6T and have been looking at the 9T for a while,only thing holding me back is OxygenOS and getting fast frequent updates with Android 10 coming ,
Mi 9T has more features in the software so am torn between the two. Would probably enjoy the cameras on the 9T better and bigger battery, notchless display.
It's a difficult one alright

Nah 9t pro is cheaper. I'm talking about european price. (about 100€)
Compared to standard oneplus 7 its better. First it's cheaper, the camera is better in my eyes and battery is also bigger. It's notchless but it depends on what you like.
First i thought about buying the OnePlus 7 pro, but it's too big for me and I don't like the curved display.
I also thought the "elevator" camera is a con, but I try it now.
Mi 9T Pro is the better OnePlus 7 pro for me. I don't care about 90hz display.
Custom rom support is very bad with Standard OP7 so for some people it's also a con.

I'm on the fence about the Mi 9T Pro and the OP 7 Pro. I think the device doesn't justify the price for the OP, I think that for that price it's missing wireless charging at least.
I just can't decide. The headphone output is kinda important, so is the screen. I'm torn about this two devices. Without screen/headphone jack which one would you choose just by build quality and overall performance?
Updates are very important too, which one has better community and dev support?

Maybe so but I think I'm more of a miui lover after using it on my previous phone.
Don't get me wrong it was a beautiful phone but £ for £ I think the K20 took it

Not sure about the custom firmware support for the OP 7Pro. The factory firmware is good enough in my eyes didn't even think about flashing another firmware on it. I guess you can check the support yourself here on XDA if its important for you. The cons I found with the OP is:
- Its larger then the k20 pro and heavier as well, with small hand you would need to get use to it
- It has a curved screen which I'm also not a fan of - hard to find proper screen protection, the only one worked for me was the film
- Battery usage is a bit behind than the k20 pro even the size should be the same on paper - could be due to the 90hz screen (I tried to switch it off but didn't make much difference). Still last me a day and a half easy though.
I think on software update Oneplus would provide more frequent updates for the 7pro (I had 5-6 updates since I have the phone). I had a poco f1 before and xiaomi only gave 1 update in every month or 2 months. As the phone reached the 1 year mark the updates came less frequent...
Apart of the above I think its is snappier and a better build then the k20 pro. I bought mine sort of 2nd hand not brand new (the k20 pro was also 2nd hand) I wouldn't pay the full price for the OP 7pro.
I think which ever phone you would chose you won't be disappointed. The k20 pro is also a good device.
Most of the above is my subjective opinion, people are different and others may find things more important which aren't much for me. GL for your purchase

Thank you, I really appreciate that you took some time to answer. I can get the 6/128 version for 600 usd including warp charger, I still feel it is a lot. And I'm kinda doubtful about the build quality of the Mi 9t Pro.
Is 600 usd a good price and is the warp charger really that useful?

I just ordered a Mi 9T,didn't go for the pro version as don't really think it's much better other than the cpu,
I will be leaving my 6T behind,I'm just plain bored with it,
Interested to hear how you got on,
Any regrets moving to MIUI or did you keep the 6T ?

Switching from 5T to 9T - worth it?

I'm on a OnePlus 5T (128gb) and support runs out for this phone in the next months.
Is there anyone who switched from 5T to the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and can give an advice? Any suggestions?
Size is close, specs are close. 9T has better camera and bigger battery. Also it's possible to get it with 256GB/8GB ram.

I switched from the OP6 to the Mi 9T Pro and i'm really happy with the decision. There are two points to consider, though:
- the 9T Pro is considerably thicker
- oxygenOS is much better/faster/flexible/cleaner than MiUI.
Gesendet von meinem Mi 9T Pro mit Tapatalk

Yup it's definitely worth it. And pick the 8GB 128/256GB if it's available your region.
Also installing a custom rom will not lose its warranty. I find it amazing! If you don't like MIUI you can just install a custom rom right away

I don't think it's worth it. I came from a Galaxy Note 5 2015 and there's a lot of downsides compared to it. The screen on the k20 Pro is very thin and feels like a downgrade. The pixels are less sharp and you can see the dots quite easily. Battery life is okay, 1-2 days with heavy usage. It's quite a weighty phone, hard to hold in one hand. The miui 10 rom lacks a lot of nice features miui 11 has, but currently miui 11 for it is really buggy. (Occasionally reboots, youtube background playback glitches, camera app often stops working).
I think you'll want to go for a bigger screen with higher hz if you want to really upgrade.

I'm also on OP 5T, planning to switch to the 9T as soon as the LineageOS 17 ROM is in good shape.

At first it will feel like a downgrade, I own an OP3 previously. I'd still pick my OP3 over my K20 pro if the OP3 didn't have ridiculous bezels.

If both are running the same ROM, how can it possibly feel like a downgrade if the hardware is superior in every possible way?

From my experience, better camera and battery life, but I miss Oxygen...

There will never be a "BOTH" running OOS bug-free, it will never be the same experience. Spec-wise definitely an upgrade over my OP3, but OOS is what made me say it's a so-so experience. You'll never understand what I'm saying if you've never used your device with OOS extensively for more than 3 years.

Don't let anyone fool you with an essay, if it's between OP5T and 9T Pro there's no match lol, one is 2 years old with old chip while the other runs a 2019 flagships processor.

I understand what you are SAYING, but I will never understand how you are FEELING or why, because I will never use any OS other than LineageOS, and I have 4 devices, 2 phones and 2 tablets, the experience is pretty much the same on the software side.

I switched from 5T to mi9 t pro when it came out. Mi9t pro is obviuosly much faster with better battery life than 5T and better for gaming becuse of the chip etc but in terms of custom roms it is still pretty lacking in comparison to the 5T custom roms which work perfectly but that might have to do with the age of the 5T which has had developers working on it for a long time now. Hope it helps.

I came from a oneplus 6 to k20 pro. And I am still regretting the decision to switch. I would still happily go back to my oneplus 6 any day. And the sole reason being the software.
Oneplus software is way better than MIUI. I unlocked the bootloader and installed pixel experience. Which was fine in relative terms. Unlocking the bootloader created a few problems like breaking Google pay (India) and other UPI payment apps.
There were errors like google camera not functioning properly. The fingerprint sensor straight up sucks on most of the custom roms. Roms have somehow broken the proximity sensor for me during calls. and there are similar issues for almost everyone.
I would humbly suggest you stick with something stock. Or if you can live with MIUI then it's whole another set of arguments to be made. But considering you've used oxygen OS for around 2 years, it's likely you won't like MIUI at all.
ciao!

If you are into gaming and especially emulators then its a no brainer. When using Dolphin my 5T struggled to maintain 60fps whereas 9T has no problems whatsoever.
P.s MiUi is not as bad as some people here make it sound like, give it a try you might like it

Thank you all for your opinions!
I ordered a 9T Pro 8GB/256GB today and will see if it fits. If not, it's always possible to sell it for a good price or maybe even send it back.
I see that people have different opinions on it, that comes from their different habits.
The specs are great and i think the phone can compete with flagships - with this price definitely (buy two of these or one from OnePlus?! ). Software is a thing that can be changed by custom roms and i think i will try MIUI, Lineage, PE and the Oxygen GSI on it and see what's best for me.

So,I'm due an upgrade this year and usually stick with Oneplus and currently have a 6T,
My usual upgrade would take me to a Oneplus 8 but I'm reading not so many great things about these phones such as hole punch cameras and the price is gonna be crazy for the Standard 8 and 8 pro
But here we have a phone that will probably be similar in specs and possibly better in places with the X2 pro.
I'm not crazy anymore about OxygenOS,sure it's great but it's boring after all these years. A little more features or some might say bloat can be useful and I hear ColorOS is pretty good in this regard.
Oneplus has slowed with updates for older devices so I think I could live with less updates.
Would you guys upgrade to a X2 pro considering you can get the 12/256 model for €449 now on Amazon or should I wait to see what Xaomi do though the k30 doesn't look that appealing if it turns out to be the mi 10.
Did anyone upgrade from a 6 or 6T to this phone ?

If you are not in a hurry (you have problems with your cuerrent phone), you should wait until the next generation of qualcomme soc (next half year).

Yes, Ideally this would be true but I think the next gen of high end SD chips are gonna be more expensive and power hungry due to uneeded 5g. a lot of mid range well priced phones from Xaoimi will be having mid range chips like 765.
I actually think there is a good case to skip the next gen of chips because they are mainly for 5g which most users in the world dont need

I personally encourage you to get this phone. ColorOS has some interesting features and it's rock solid. The phone is very responsive and I have a good SOT. Talking about battery, the VOOC charging is unbelievably fast! I have so much to say about the Realme X2 Pro, but the conclusion is that I don't regret my decision.

I just was with Poco F1. And it was a very good experience with it and said that I will no longer get other than Xiaomi ?

Probably the best value for the money at this time :good:
Pros
90hz Display which is very good
UFS 3.0
12gb Ram (top variant)
256gb Storage
50w SuperVooc
Great design & build.
Decent Cameras.
Cons
ColorOS still needs work and that comes in 0S7, with realme perhaps doing their own thing?
Cameras are just average (made better with Gcam) although as yet still not a stable build for the X2 Pro.
Overall for what you are paying them yea it's a very very good purchase :good:

They are both in both categories as they are made better with Gcam but without I'd put in the cons as they really aren't that great.

Lol,makes sense,though from what I've seen on YouTube and other reviews the cameras are pretty competitive with other flagships,not the greatest but decent in most departments,
I personally don't like using gcam because its usually unstable and annoying.
Still not convinced by the phone though with ColorOS though it should be interesting to see what colorOs7 is like.

ColorOS runs just fine in terms of performance, it's just a bit disorganized, Cameras they are perfectly fine in good light, but I'd say they do struggle and the Samsung made GW1 64mgp sensor isn't great, but the price you can let the cam be the way it is, it's not shockingly poor, it's just average and the price point for everything else made it a great purchase for me.
Here is a pic in low light, (Curtains closed, no natural light) Stock Camera (using nighscape)

I did hear that the 64mp mode is very good even better than the 108mp mode on the Mi note 10. I suppose it's just low light photos I would be worried about and lack of OIS

OIS is not needed in any kind of way thanks to the Snapdragon 855+ and 12 GB Ram
i can tell you the difference , when i was using the P20 Pro i had always lags making any kind of video.
using the X2 Pro with 30 or 60 FPS its like Butter , also the way the camera reacts like speed focus etc you dont even need OIS so trust me you would have a lot of fun
The Only bad thing about the Camera is the Night Shot Mode ... you cant compare it with Huawei
but without that its simply perfect in my eyes and i did a lot of pictures using the stock camera app

Huawei are very good for low light so I would never expect the X2 pro to compare.What about updates ?
I believe the phone will receive support for Android 10 and 11. Updates every two months with security patch and a big update soon to colorOS 7,
Have you received timely updates as yet ?

Tbh it's a huge upgrade over the 6t... It's better in everyway except oxygen and as I've said before to others the euro version from Amazon Spain is one of the most bloat free and fluid operating systems around. Regarding the camera I've got to agree with @natedogg20050 it's a excellent camera and if you know how to use it correctly I've mostly got better shots then my son's mate 20 pro and wife's view 20.... Then when you consider the price to spec it's truly unbeatable in my opinion. I've had the OnePlus 6t and loved it but to me the X2 pro is far better.
Edit: Regarding updates I've received 1 update each month since getting the phone.

Thanks for the input,I looked at many reviews and comparisons over the last while and have concluded that the X2 pro is the best and most interesting deal out there.I am now bored with my 6T and wanted a change so this morning on Christmas I have just ordered my X2 pro 12/256 model in blue from Amazon Spain to receive it next week.
In regards to camera,most if not all the reviews I have looked at are positive. Ive seen that they have improved camera quality in recent updates also , particularly with low light shots.
I think people who do criticise are only nitpicking generally that a particular color may not be exactly the same as it is real life or stupid little things like that. The camera from what I've seen is excellent for the price including everything else.
Excited to use a phone with 12gb ram also,as I've only ever had 6 at most,90hz should be fun too and the little features of ColorOs.
Merry Christmas everyone.

I still cannot decide between OnePlus 7T and Realme X2 Pro. Coming from a really clean Moto G4+ experience and being kind of a power user (not gaming wise but regarding usage time & used features), I'm a little afraid that Color OS maybe couldn't deliver my wished quality. And video OIS and night capabilities of the 7T camera seems to be much better considering many YouTube comparisons.
On the other hand Realme offers super fast charging, interesting software features (three finger screenshot crop and all this nice little things) for a much lower price tag.

Did I make the right decision? Please say yes lmao

Hey there!
Alright, so, I was deciding between the Asus ROG Phone 2 and the OnePlus 7T. I really wanted to take the Asus ROG2 but the guy selling it thought it was a global edition, but later found out it was a Chinese version so ofc I didn't want to take that. The second alternative was the OnePlus 7T which looks like a solid device, but at the end I just went with the Realme X2 Pro 8gb 128gb edition because of the price difference between them. The Realme X2 Pro is 480 euros here, while the OnePlus 7T is 600+ euros for the 128gb version. How are you satisfied with your X2 Pro? What do you think about my decision?

I had the same problem.
I had to choose between the new xiaomi 10, but the price was much higher than i expected, The Op7t, the realme x2pro.
I was coming froma Op3.
I took the Realme because it has the oppo company behind, and the 12/256 was at 480€ on amazon for the weekend.
It has some software issues, i hope that the next update will change a lot.
Sure the Op7t has more support from modders and everything, but we will have it too.

Well I don’t really care for the custom firmware, I always rock with the stock firmware. Are you overall happy with your choice? What is fine for you and what is bothering you?

The phone is great,you are getting so much for your money,the same as the 7T besides oxygen OS and you have saved a good bit of cash too,
A lot of flagships coming in 2020 have 90hz, ufs 3.0 ,dual speakers etc so you are getting a comparable device to most of the new phones give or take a few things,
Software at the moment on Android 9 is the major downside but for me everything works and I'm happy,March will see RealmeUI so that will be a huge boost to the device,
What I enjoy most is the 90hz,50 watt charge is very handy Dual speakers is something I never had and the battery life is good,I get a day out of 15 mins charge. Cameras are good too,best I've had though apparently if you believe what you read the cameras aren't the absolute best.
No real downside for me on this phone. Has all I need. You made a god decision !!!
Relax..And enjoy ?

Solved by rebooting the phone, and it works.
