Hello guys i know this is threath about Mi A2 but i cannot decide and maybe someone can help?. I am on Mi A2 about year now. I pretty happy with it. Camera is awesome with gcam, Fast, great battery but i wanna upgrade.
And i am chosing beetween Mi 9 SE, Mi 9 Lite, Mi A3, Note 8 Pro. On Note i am not sure about MediaTek because MediaTek cannot use gcam but maybe basic camera is great i am not sure.
I am looking for great camera in that price range, i dont gaming much on phone, just camera and social networks so lot of multitasking.
What you choose from those or maybe another Xiaomi device?
Thanks for any advice

I would go with Mi 9 SE
MI 9T, new fast 730sd, 6GB RAM, super amoled, big batery.
Well Mi 9T Is awesome but in my country is out of my budget.
In this case go to Mi 9 Lite, 4030mah battery, super amoled, 3.5mm jack/sd card.
But Mi9 lite it's just ~ 10% faster than A2.
Your choice, my advice it's better to wait some time.

Basic camera isn't great, that's why you upgraded to gcam on the a2 also.
All of the models mentioned by you have miui but the a3. So prepare for bloat and jibber, unless you're used to miui.
The only one to one equivalent is the a3 (mostly os wise) but careful with that, despite the amoled it's only 720p and the pixels are so big they scratch your nose.
Go pixel 3a imho if you want stock android of course. Price/quality ratio is great and you'll have your gcam (natively).
If not, whichever floats your boat.

Hi all !
My Mi 2s seems old after 3 years old (two batteries KO, the phone stills fast as the first day ), and then I will buy another Xiaomi.
The Mi 5 is a very popular smarthpone, has a lot of ROMs and kernels in comparison to his announcement date, but the Mi 5s has a bit of improvement (Snap 821, LPDDR4 at 1866Mhz, Sony IMX378, 3200mAh battery ect...) and has the same hardware of the Google Pixel (821 and IMX378), but at first look seems not popular as the Mi 5 for the marketing.
In your opinion, if I can buy Mi 5 and Mi 5s at the same price (version 3/64), wich of those has more chance of still supported from developers of custom roms like Cyanogenmod ecc..?
Will be possible a porting of some features or ROMs of Google Pixel to the Mi 5s?
I don't want to buy a phone like the Xiaomi Mi 4S, wich don't have any custom rom!
So thanks for the attention, have a good day!
The point that you've made with the marketing is why I don't think the Mi5s will have a lot of ROMs. This and the fact that Xiaomi released the kernel source for the Mi5 6 months after its release, so even if there will be, it's not gonna be so soon.
As of now I'd recommend you to stick with your current phone for some time and watch the progress of each phone's development section, but if it's custom ROMs you care about, you should probably choose the Mi5.
Even though the Mi5s has slightly better hardware, it's still soon to talk about its development.
I think that the Xiaomi MI5s won't have a succes like to the MI5 and the MI5 has an official cyanogenmod build and Mokee build and some plenty of port ROM wich work great like RR, OMNI ROM, SLIM ROM,...
Mi 5s Development didnt start yet, xiaomi will release it's source Code after a few month maybe a year. For now i think mi 5 has better development

Hello everybody,
I want to change phone, I have a galaxy s8 + for over a year. the galaxy s9 + is very expensive, and not enough novelties for my taste, and I see that other manufacturers like the one + and xiomi offer phones with more interesting prices.
Is the xiomi mi 8 a good choice?
thanks for your advices.
You have a S8, so a downgrade is impossible. If you just compare MIUI and Touchwiz, it's like Benz and Ford.
You coming to XDA means you know you can flash your ROM.
Mi 8 potential is very high. It will got lots of custom ROM to choose later just like the previous models.
Mi 8 with custom ROM + GCam Mod and it will rocks.

Stock camera seem to be pretty awesome too.
Hi, i have a mi8 and looking foward to update to mi10t pro or mi 11, which phone do you guys recomend?, i've seen from myself that mi 11 has some heating issues and some issues regarding software and hardware ( the camera and the apps sometines closes ), but that should get fixed by a update no ?
What phone should i get?
Mi 11 for sure. Overheating and majority of bugs fixed in 12.5, or so ive heard. For me Amoled > IPS, but its personal preference
I would recommend a Mi 10. The Mi 11 has an awfull battery life. It does heat very easily, whatever you are doing.

The system not being optimized doesn't help that much, myself talking from experience, i had mui on mi 8 last version, and had a terrible battery SOT, i changed to EvoX or even One Rom from TechRev and the battery improved by a lot, sometimes its just the system that is **** :v, i've been saying oppo x3 pro, interesting phone

I've seen those news myself, not sure if it's true or not, but in recent benchmarks or comparissions on youtube, i've seen that this month (april) the mi 11 prefers a bit better than in its launch
Hello!
I'm using a Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro. The photo quality is OK, sometimes even great. But the Zoom pictures aren't that great and the overall performance is sometimes a little bit to low.
I planned to upgrade to a phone with better zoom performance- but there is no real alternative:
- Samsung 21U could be better but I really don't like Samsungs software
- Huawei is no alternative because of missing Google
- Mi 11 is not much better I think? The Ultra is not available from my provider
Has someone changed from Mi Note 10 to X3 Pro?
Maybe someone has examples from zoom Pictures, especially compared to the Note 10?
Are there any missing software features?
Many thanks!
Hi Guys,
I wanted to change my Mi note 10 Pro for something better with equal/better camera, but I am struggling to do so for half a year already.
I have bought mi 11 pro (which was not so easy considering that I am based in EU and it has not been introduced there) because it seemed that having the same camera sensor as mi 11 ultra, 5000 mah battery and a quick CPU would fit my needs. Oh, how mistaken I was ....
Once it came, I have installed xiaomi.eu firmware (I am using it on mi note 10 pro too) and shot couple of pictures on both devices to compare. Each picture was just: get the phone out of the pocket and take a picture of the same thing on auto settings. In my opinion there are only 2 pictures for which mi 11 pro bested mi note 10 pro. Please crop each image to see how grainy mi 11 pro pictures are. I am totally disappointed...

What settings are you using on mi 11? Why there is no exif?? Mine mi 11 is taking much better pictures, why your photos are so small, they're resized and overcompressed?
I used app to batch remove exif data- I am uncomfortable sharing pics with exact location over the web. It seems that it compressed the images.
I don't have the original files, so I will have to take new ones, but I can assure you that I did not fiddle with settings on either phones. Those are just shot out of a pocket.

Feel free to check up the photos now. I have taken the whole set once again and deleted only location data from exif. The verdicts stays the same for me.
