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

Does anyone having issue about touchscreen delay or lag or latency or whatever..? I hav mi 6x brandnew and i hav experiencing slow touch compared to redmi note 5 zzz
Why no one is complaining about slow touch and latency of mi 6x mi a2 :3
Is there any ?
Yes, I also experienced high latency on my Mi A2 64gb, it did not feel good at all! I compared it to a Huawei P20 and my iPhone 7 Plus, and they was light years better in touch screen.
I've noticed it and it's usually very noticeable when swiping left on the homescreen to look at google now cards. Specifically scrolling up or down sometimes leads to no action actually occurring. I enabled the developer options that shows the touches cause I thought it was a touchscreen problem and was actually able to see the touches drawing (so my gesture was being recognized) but the app did not scroll up or down at all. Removing the finger and scrolling again fixes it every time but it's certainly annoying.

The contents moving very slow even my thumb is forward to and reach to that point.. ,and delayed.. ,i m noticing a lot, but thankz to that we dont hav motion blur ,hahha hopefully it got fixed by touch panel firmware updates in the near future, like they fixed touch latency in redmi 5 plus..

In this review they actually test latency and yes is it very high compare to other phones. It is around 110ms on Mi A2! Redmi Note 5 has 91 ms and phones like Huawei P20 has 68ms and iPhone X 41ms.

Big thank Fyi, one thing i hav noticed that i hav three ph redmi 5 plus ,redmi note 5 and this shhit mi 6x ,and mi 6x hav very much high touch latency and its really PROMINENT everytime scrolling to everythings even in setting app. so i hav compared with redmi note 5 side by side and redmi note 5 is doing a lot more faster and really typing accurate ..so what does xiaomi got this..?...and anothet thing i hav experienced that when i first handled redmi 5 plus ,i got exact same problem like that ,so high touch latency ,alot of ppl at that time also in our country Myanmar complaining about touch ,then i decided to wait FIRMWARE updates and really it got fixed in recent updates ,then i started to check engineering menu and touch panel firmware version is increased and it got fixed, so now its faster than mi 6x ,lol.....then i got redmi note 5 which has the exact same material with redmi note 5 (Tianma TD4310) and its touch is fast ,So we can conclude that xiaomi fixed touch latency in redmi 5 plus and then released to redmi note 5 bcz the same touch sensor is used ,So i hope that mi 6x touch got fixed by getting updates in the future .xD
I do not feel this in my Mi A2 Global

i hav mentioned about Mi 6x (and of course Mi a2 is suffering also..,)touch latency eariler before.and now here is what i got like in Oneplus 3T touch latency, i always got above the greenline everytime i typed in keyboard and everytime i scrolling to smth.. so Plz check it by developer options and scroll down all the way to Monitoring tab and then Select profile gpu rendering To On screen bars and then check it by typing fast or scrolling smth.. i m having very bad experience for now in Mi a2
No such problem here whatsoever ? miA2 4/64gb unlocked + root + ondemand

This may b that u may not notice to what i mentioned the problem..So plz scroll in setting app.and the content r moving slower than the thumb reached to the point. U may scroll everything backward and forward fastly and u may noticed, or compare with another devices like redmi note 5 side by side and scroll smth on both ph, u will notice, and Plz test type fastly and u may notice too much words errors
For Those ppl who didnt believe me ,here is the Test of Mi a2 from France and kindly use chrome and check the screen section they did really tested about latency and mi a2 ,same at my mi 6x hav too much high about 110 ms.,quite unacceptable tho..
https://www.lesnumeriques.com/telephone-portable/xiaomi-mi-a2-p45257/test.html
and here is poco f1 test..also hav same with mi 6x too much high latency.

If you've got the NVT screen (Tianma), I was able to overclock it to 70HZ. It should definitely help with response and latency. I also optimized my kernel for latency using a lot of tweaks. Take a look at the beta group if you wanna try:

I came from Mi A1 to Mi A2 and A2 actually has lower latency or atleast that's my experience but compared to my Nexus 5 A2 has a lot of latency. Can't complain at this price point.

Scrolls as fast as I move my thumb here. No lag noticeable. And I am pretty sure I'd notice 100ms

And yes this is screen refresh rate, and all we want is to reduce touchscreen latency and response time when fingers move one point to another.bro..,poco ph and mi a2 or mi 6x hav the exact nt36672 digitizer And that is used in Oukitel ph...what a shame.
Hi,
I read in a review online that the mi 8se can take some time, up to a second to capture a still, in other words shutter time is not instantaneous. Is it true based on your experience?
nope haven't experienced such thing in default camera. It's instantaneous in my Mi 8 Se.

great! thanks, I'm still undecided between the xiaomi mi 8 se ( only cons being the manual maintenance and installation of roms, being a EU global rom my planned go to rom ) and Nokia Sirocco 8, both being small form factor.

And don't forget the pain of unlocking bootloader. It took me 720hrs to get my bootloader unlocked in 8 Se.
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.
Hello everyone,
I want to buy Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory Variant in India. I am really concerned about warranty after root. I searched Internet couldn't find any clear answer.
I want to ask if I buy Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile and then unlock the bootloader and root the phone will it void the warranty of the phone.
Is there any solution to root the phone but if something goes wrong the phone could be unrooted and make it under warranty.
Kindly help.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Wishes
i was excited and i bought it
and i am not happy with the software side of the device AT ALL!
brand is new, development is obviously slow and more over realme was not very keen to make it developer friendly! infact in july they finaly released official flasher!
fingerprint doesn't work once boot is unlocked, atleast i am still trying to find out the method,
the device came with Color OS and now on realmeUI1 , where you must format data if you are flashing with non OPPO recovery (twrp or others) this means you must take all backups always!
the device doesnt go on recovery with KEY combination! like it used to with Xiaomi or sony or samsung!
it only goes to FASTBOOT MODE and from there you must trigger twrp everytime
why does it matter?
so Fastboot boot command DOES NOT WORK on REALME , to trigger device to wake up in recovery!
bootloops are so common that for every bootloop the usual solution is to FORMAT DATA, when i upgraded from June RealmeUI1 C25 version to July RealmeUI1 C29 version, via OrangeFox recovery, it went to bootloops! unless i did FORMAT DATA....
I am coming from PocoF1 which was so flashing friendly!
for me it was a huge mistake to buy this device and now i am stuck with it!
i got carried away with 12gb ram and on lower price! ,
Oh boy still not tired to use every single thread to blame the device?
If you're not happy with it, why just not sell it and buy Poco F2 if you were so happy with the F1? Or 1+ oder Xiaomi Mi or something else?

sharing my honest opion! if you feel thats spamming you may report!
the OT asked my advice and I gave him!
shall i lie just because you are feeling offended?
Sorry, but you didn't answer him his question whether he will void warranty or not...
And btw. things like poor community / dev support are things which you could check BEFORE buying the device to cry afterwards.
@kk100
I don't know whether warranty is void by rooting.
But of course you can lock the bootloader afterwards again if you want to.

Thanks for Sharing your experience. I am not a developer you can consider me less technical details knowledge but I am now using Redmi Note 4 SD version 4gb ram 64gb memory for past three years and I want to mention on many occasions TWRP has saved my device from bricked device to bootloop. I am using Ramexpander app for past 2 year's so created a 3 gb Swap file do total Ram I get is 6.6gb but the phone lags a little bit.I am heavy user no games etc but lot of other apps. I want to purchase a 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile phone which is user friendly where I can easily root and Install some basic app TWRP, Titanium Backup, etc.. The price and features of Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile is very appealing and value for money.

i have redmi note4 also, running on HAVOC2.3, and working fine as my office device,
as long as you use Realme x2 pro quietly with no meddling every now and then, the device will work perfect!
frankly I couldn't get REDMI k20 Pro Premium 12gb/512gb version , its also on sd855 and has amazing screen and its very popular device on xda where roms /kernels/mods are concern!
i wanted to buy that but i couldn't find
may be you should go to store hold k20 pro premuim in hand and feel the sense about it
but on hardware side,
realme x2 pro has 90hz screen refresh rate (k20 has 60only but after rooting, there is method to do 81hz)
realme x2 pro has dual loud speakers (K20 has mono)
realme x2 pro brightness is 1000nits where (k20 is 450nits)
but these were not my deal breakers! , i still wanted to buy k20 pro but due to unavailability in my local market! i couldnt

Thanks a lot for your sharing. I will not use my mobile with too much meddling but I want root and twrp etc I will not change roms either. I will look into k20 pro premium 12gb ram 512 gb . For Realme x2 pro I am concerned about rooting and warranty. Xiaomi is fine with rooting and warranty Realme should also follow it. I also think community support is important as if the device gets some problem there is support available for the device.
Thanks very much for replying to people like me who get lost with no support.
P. S. Just saw k20 pro premium 12gb /512. Wow what a phone and incredible specs and almost the same price as Realme x2 pro mobile. If I could get this I will purchase it.

Just ask Realme support. They will give you the answer. I heard that they are ok with rooting and warranty.
Btw. If you want to go with k20pro premium I suggest you to install custom ROM because the stock one is flooded with ads and bloatware. Also you are losing 50W charging. FP is fixed in newer versions of Realme UI (unlocked bootloader).

X2 PRO was REALME's ANSWER to XIAOMI for K20 PRO Premiuim!
K20 was suppose to be pocof2, but they made it as K20 Pro Premium or in global market it was named as Mi9T pro premium, where later K30 released and K30 Pro released and now K30 Pro premium is actually POCO F2
so basically twrp for K20 easily covers Mi9t and K20 Pro for Mi9t Pro and K30pro will work for PocoF2 also!
Xiaomi's success is actually making their devices XDA friendly!
if low screen brightness in sun and 90hz gimmick doesn't affect u much! i would advice go for k20 pro premium! (12/512 gb)
modded kernels has kcal / sound boost is helpful

I want more productivity from a phone then fancy features. Now Even notification lights are not included in phone, can't even imagine that. I am really looking forward to k20 pro premium (12gb/512gb). Phone are really not expensive to manufacturers but sold at very high prices. Budget is also Important in these times. If I go for Realme x2 pro or k20 pro premium I will be paying almost 3 times of my current RN4 4gb /64gb which still gives value of money.
I will be trying to get k20 premium 12gb/512 if available or will have to choose Realme x2 pro 12gb/256 gb.
Thanks a lot.

Well... there is a problem with xiaomi devices in India as Indian government started to block xiaomi's apps. You don't really need to modify kernel to get equalizer/sound booster like viper4android and there's even a thread about getting one with Realme X2 pro. I don't think that custom kernels are a big problem rn as 855+ gives great performance.

if you are a person who wants value for money! then frankly these two fones which have been discussing is most part having features we may not even fully use (if ever)
512gb storage you will NEVER fill up! in regular use!
90hz screen may not even make a difference and 90hz screen is not battery friendly so realmex2 pro don't use it on every app!
its the main processor that counts! Snapdragon 710/720/765 are weak processor and heats up because devices of this processor don't have liquid cooling ( realme x2pro and Redmi k20 pro premium has Liquid cooling)
other value for money FONES with GREAT support are
1. Poco f1 (but its lcd, so not every eye friendly)
2. Redmi NOTE 8 PRO ( its MediaTek gaming chip 40% cheaper, but LCD so you may not enjoy much, colors may feel dull, but test it in shop/ display models)
3. Mi note 9s (but its lcd)
4. Samsung M31 ! its also great fone! (but they use Enoyx processor which is slower) Rootable!

xiaomi apps getting blocked shouldn't be any problem with custom kernels
lots of kernel developers are from india only and these kernels are used on custom roms! and even custom roms are developed in india only!
i have used Havoc on PocoF1 which is developed by indian developer!
kcal gives GREAT control on controling screen values! infact most of the custom roms have included this feature under DIPLAY>LiveDisplay
sound booster by GOODAV is also good app to boost volume without unlocking bootlock!

Really?...just test it yourself in Chrome while scrolling and then tell again there is no difference...
For me 90hz nowadays is an absolut must have feature!
How much battery will you loose? One hour maybe?
Same thing you would lose with LCD screen, if not more...

lots of kernel developers are from india only and these kernels are used on custom roms! and even custom roms are developed in india only!
i have used Havoc on PocoF1 which is developed by indian developer!
kcal gives GREAT control on controling screen values! infact most of the custom roms have included this feature under DIPLAY>LiveDisplay
sound booster by GOODAV is also good app to boost volume without unlocking bootlock!

I didn't said that blocked xiaomi apps will cause problems with custom kernels or Indian kernels would not work... The author of this post wants to stay on stock ROM with root. That so I meant that it isn't a great choice if he wants to stay on stock ROM.
About 90hz... when you use a phone for some time with 90hz you can really notice the difference between 60hz and 90hz... After using my phone on 60hz for week and 90hz for another week I haven't noticed any difference with battery life. If someone really want to use 90hz on every app there is a thread about getting it.
Also I don't think that there's a need of volume boosting on Realme X2 pro when the phone is extremely loud stock.
256GB for normal user is enough and I don't see a need for more storage space.
Both phones are great but of course because xiaomi is bigger they have bigger community with more mods/roms/kernels.
Thanks everyone for taking time to reply.
About budget phones yes i have been using redmi note 4 SD for past 3 years but this time I really want more ram like 12gb/256 Realme x2 pro or k20 premium edition 12/512gb. I will mostly use stock rom I don't want to get into custom roms I am not a developer or much technical details knowledge.
But now I don't want to use my mobile with Ramexpander app for extra ram, Using 2 sim plus 128gb micro SD(This is enough but not good, need more memory) card with sim extension tool,I also use external 1tb hdd with mobile data backup with stickmount app.
Xiaomi still doesn't has Mi Pc suite for above KitKat which is extremely annoying. Unfortunately transferring data from mobile through mtp doesn't work in my mobile and lost lot of important data because of this earlier.
Does Realme has Pc suite?
For Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb/256gb I am looking for warranty after root.
I am still more inclined to buy Realme x2 pro 12/256 or k20 pro premium 12/512gb. I just want value for money and peace of mind that these phone will last next 3 years without any trouble.
Thanks everyone for replying.
Best Wishes
Realme doesn't have PC suite, but why do you need it?
Don't want to use cloud?

1. use myphoneexplorer , its virtually for every android device on earth freee, https://www.fjsoft.at/en/ , started for sony ericson but as sony moved to xperia the developer added support for android, i always use this never installed xperia companion or kies or misuite
2. no realme / oppo dont have pc suite, not that i found on web
3.since grass is greaner on the other side, and as user above said xiomi has bigger developent community, i am now more inclined towards k20 pro, but you will feel more inclined towards k20 pro once after you will buy realme x2 pro lol
4. i would not say x2pro headphone volume is loud! yes speaker is loud, i still use volume booster by Goodav to enjoy music
