Xiaomi Mi 9 or Galaxy S10?

So I'm struggling between buying the S10 and the Mi 9. I know, completely different price tags but yeah, both have their pro's and contra's.
I usually love charging my phone quickly, for example from 10 to 60% in less than 30 minutes. (like I did with my OnePlus 6) This would speak for the Mi 9 and the 27W support but is the S10 charging quickly too?
What would you guys prefer? I want to at least keep the phone for 2 years this time.

I charged my S10+ from 0 to 100 in less than two hours with stock charger.

both phones are great , but at the end i choose the s10+ because it will feel more premium than the MI9 , specially the software , as i really love the new one UI

Unhappy with Mi 9 battery draining and SOT, thinking about changing for mate 20 ...

Hi all.
I have written a comment to another created threat in mi 9 forum, but I would like to read your comments here too.
I'm having battery draining and SOT problems with my mi 9, like I said in title (like most people I think).
I have tried everything to improve my battery life in my mi 9, and It's not bad at all, but I was expecting better performance for a top xiaomi smartphone with sd 855 and 5 months old in spite of the fact that it has "only" 3300mah battery ...
I'm not a heavy user and I try to get max SOT and minimum battery drain in all my phones, because I don't like changing smartphones very often and I like to take care of it.
I came from a Moto G4 plus, and I had 5h of SOT in 48h without high standby drainage (maybe 1-2% of drainage overnight in 7-9h) with a 3 years old battery and worst hardware and software. In mi 9, I'm getting 5-6h of SOT in 48-72h. Not bad at all, but standby drainage is awfull. It loses 20-25% of the battery every 48h (3-5% overnight), and in a smartphone with such a fair battery it's a problem. If I'm not getting great results with not heavy use and my smartphone is new, I don't want to think in 2-3 years + mid-heavy use ... I have tried everything (full wipes, reinstalling, the most powerfull battery saving, etc) and I don't have great result. Standby drainage is very hight compared to other phones (I have tried a friend poco f1 and I had 10h in 48-72h with 1% overnight drainage. It was awsome).
And now the question ...
I'm thinking of changing my mi 9 for a huawei mate 20... I still have the 30d Amazon refund and I am not comfortable with my phone's battery.
- Mate 20 pros vs mi 9: +700 mah battery and more efficient, the best ips panel without burn-in problem, and fingerprint sensor behind the screen (no like too much in-screen fingerprint at all).
- Pros mi 9 vs mate 20: sd 855 (but geekbech it's very very similar, and antutu winner is mi 9 only for gamming but mate 20 still on top), unlocking bootloader for mi 9 (better comunity in xda, but if emui works well I think I don't need custom rooms, the problem here is Trump/google vs China ... but now apeares to be solved and we would have newer updates to Android Q), wireless charging (I don't use it because smartphone is hotter when charging 3-5º vs cable+1,5a charger, It takes more time to charge with elevated temperature), not jack (better for waterproof), maybe very little better cameras in mi 9 and little better results, 4 months younger (very little difference) and It's the top phone on xiaomi (mate 20 is the little brother because we have mate 20 pro, 20x, p30, p30 pro and we will have soon mate 20 and mate 20 pro; and that could be worst because we will get latter uptdates in mate 20).
What do you think? Would you change mi 9 for mate 20? Reading your comments. Greetings.

If your looking for better battery life I'd say get the mate 20. I've had mine for just under 3 months. Best damn purchase I've ever made (purchased way below retail during trump ban). I consider myself a medium to heavy user (I don't play mobile games however). With some useless features turned off and some fetch services disabled. I can easily get 8-10 hrs on screen time with this phone, it's the best battery life I've ever had, prior I was getting 4hrs with another Android phone.

What about heat and performance?

Heat? I haven't had any issues with heat if by that you mean does the phone get too hot to touch, it's cool the majority of the time. As for performance, EMUI 9.1 is very smooth and I haven't had any slow downs ??.

And what about temperature playing PUBG mobile for example 30 min? Have you tried?
Really thanks!

After 30 mins of Asphalt 9 the device is damn cold... Could even be used as a cooler

Just a month ago I had Poco F1. On the battery Sot was similar to the 20 mate. Night drainage in Poco 1-3%, mate 2-5%. Mate saves better on screen on. Performance similar to Poco. If I had to exchange Mi9, it was on mi9t Pro.

Question Why is AOD such a battery hog on this phone??

I've tried several roms...... stock, xioami.eu, miuimix, LineageOS and Octavi OS and on all of them AOD uses an extreme amount of battery.
I'm comparing it to my Pixel 4a 5G running LineageOS. On that phone AOD uses more battery than no AOD obviously, but it's not a huge battery hog like on this phone.
Any ideas why AOD on the Note 10 Pro is so heavy on battery?

Pixel 4a optimized well that's because it's older than Redmi note 10 pro. the development of redmi note 10 pro at the beginning so be patient.
besides, Pixel 4a came with OLED display & Redmi note 10 pro came with SUPER AMOLED which is consumes more power than OLED.

Screen refreshes at 120hz even on aod, thats where the problem is.

General I got 12 Pro and still have the 11T Pro.

I recently got a new 12 Pro as I hoped Xiaomi fixed the screen and proximity issues from 11T Pro. The 11T Pro is a great phone, the issues I had was a lazy proximity screen sensor which just didn't operate as smooth as an iPhone or Galaxy. No other flaws. So I decided to go with a 12 Pro looking for that screen improvement and a better proximity sensor.
The 12 Pro is everything 11T Pro is, except it does have a better screen more pixels,better colours, resolution and fingerprint recognition that instantly wakes the screen as soon as you touch it!
But still I can get over it that the difference in these two phones is minimal. Genuinely 11T Pro is a monster phone with great components and even better price. If I knew what I was getting, I probably would have stuck with 11T Pro as, 12 Pro is certainly not worth buying of you are coming from 11Tp.
So far from my own tests and checks, 11T Pro tops 12 Pro in every aspect, speed, opening of apps, images and videos rendering which I find a bit disappointed that older phone performs better them a new flagship.
For your info I attached a few screenshot from Antutu Benchmark and Geekbench tests.

So you got what you wanted?
The chipsets are nearing their thermal limits; faster processors, 5G and variable refresh rate displays use more mAh and generate more heat as a byproduct. The area to dissipate this thermal load is largely fixed by the dimensions of the device means hotter running devices. Not a pretty picture when you consider the implications.
Worse accurate color calibration of variable refresh rate displays is imperfect, there are simple too many variables. If color calibration is off, the gamma correction gets skewed even more.
Xiaomi probably had room for improvement with their displays. Samsung's display performance in terms of color rendering accuracy zenithed with the Note 10+.
At least you got a better display.
Samsung's S22U can't offer me that or SOT that's better even with a larger 700 mAh battery. It is a buttery smooth better hand warmer though
Sometimes hardware upgrades aren't a good option...

I also have both phones and I completely agree with nothing you said.

It depends on the usage and I'm using a Xiaomi EU rom.
blackhawk​explained the why and how very well.
Xiaomi Eu rom,same apps same usage.
Poco f2 pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 4700mHa +/- 38 hours/ AOSP +/- 48 hours
11 T pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5000 mHa +/- 35 hours
12 pro Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 4600 mHa +/- 30 hours
Sony Xperia J(st26) Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 1750 mHa +/- 15 days

Thanks for that.
I'm also using latest Xiaomi. EU ROM on my 12.
11T pro is still on the global ROM
I find the 12 is really heavy on the battery for pretty much very same task and style of usage in comparison to 11T. The battery gets to 25% by mid day while this never occurred with 11T. ( That would be at least around 50%)
According to battery app what seems to drain the batteries on the 12 is the screen! Although I don't have display on,60hz only, etc .

it is possible that this will be fixed with the optimization updates of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 .
Also the battery saver setting set to "close apps after 10 minutes works randomly".
I use a 30w charger.

There are reports here that the latest beta release from Samsung greatly improved the S22U's performance. Global power management tends to cause erratic behaviors of most devices especially bluetooth apps.

Question Battery life and average SOT

Hey guys , I'm near a week with the OnePlus 10 Pro ,Chinese version flashed with NE2215 EU rom ,but I'm not sure if it's only mi idea or my life battery ir worse than average ,I'm using Oxygen OS 13 right now, and coming from an Asus ROG phone 5 with 6000 mAh battery, so I'm not sure if maybe the conversion to NE2215 from NE2210 hasta some relation .
So if you can share your average SOT and detail the model of your phone I will appreciate a lot .

I've already made a thread about SOT, it's difficult to see threads these days seeing as XDA had made forum changes and done away with the long established categories.
My average is 8 hours with a max of 10 hours 41

I actually use gsambattery to get a better realistic screen on time usage for my device.
Android new way of showing you your screen on time is very deceptive in my option.
For me battery life with this device has been ok I get like 4-5 hours screen on time with like 20-15% but I expected better with the larger battery and the LTPO2 screen that they brag about. And this is with AOD off.
