Mi 9 of mi 9t pro

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

Looks like we won't be getting the Super Wallpapers I'm afraid. Not a huge loss IMO as the novelty of live wallpapers wears off pretty quickly, but it would be nice to play around with them for a day or two.
Mi CC9 supports Super wallpapers. Im using MiRoom, which is customised Russian build. It has super wallpapers, i think they built it based on Chinese version. So the phone supports but Xiaomi is not providing this feature officially.

Well obviously the Mi 9 Lite/CC9 are more than powerful enough to run super wallpapers (which are nothing more than glorified live wallpapers). A port has been available for awhile now and they can easily be sideloaded to even non-Xiaomi phones. Personally I find the animations obnoxious so I never bothered, but the port is available on XDA if you're interested.
It's just a marketing ploy to exclude some of their older phones from receiving all of the MIUI 12 features. They want you to go and buy their newest flagships.

Mi A2 vs Redmi Note 7, which one to buy?

Redmi note 7 or Mi A2 which one to buy in 2020 ?
Features are more in RN7 but the quality is better in A2 and cameras also so which one to buy?
Redmi note 8 and whole Redmi 9 series and POCO M2 PRO all has camera dust issue and i don't like realme and samsung so only the only device left is Mi A2 and Redmi Note 7

Question Should I buy the Mi 11 Ultra

I am between the OnePlus 9 Pro (Global Version) and the Mi 11 Ultra (China Version). Do you guys think I should buy the Mi11? Is it worth the hassle? It also seems that even in this forum, the Mi 11 isn't that famous so it will be difficult to find a good ROM etc.
I used both, go for Mi 11 Ultra (China Version) much better in everything.
Hardware I'd rather the mi 11 ultra
Software id rather the op9 pro
Would be great to get the best of both worlds
