performance wise, it is pretty much the same. not really an upgrade. except you want to upgrade the screen size & front camera.

The Mi6 was/is an extremely fast, extremely smooth phone.
Where the 5T excels is that the screen is larger, it's amoled, the developer community Annnnnd updates are unparalleled.
However... The Mi 7 is on the horizon.

The main reason to go for one plus is for better roms and development.
I'm just surprised Mi 6s hasn't been announced yet.
Btw which has a better camera?

of course 5T all the way. I mean if money is not my problem, I'll go for 5T. The only advantage of mi6 from 5T is using the same processor and cheaper.

miui doesn't support camera 2 api without root and as before you can't rely agood camera from miui, with modded google camera i can turn crappy redmi note 4 camera into a beast. but until now google does not have dual camera phone then there is not much option for dual camera phones.
i heard that 5T camera isn't good as 5, maybe future software update can solve it.
3T camera also seems pretty broken, camera cant focus properly.

Mi 6 is performing great and I cannot see any problems with the camera.

I should have the OP5T in a few days time. Will do a camera and speed test comparison on my channel (see my sig)

Was using Mi 5s with LOS rom
I belive the Mi 5s has a better sensor than the Mi 6 as it uses the same sensor from last years google pixel

I think you do not know what you're talking about, the Xiaomi Mi6 does not envy an op5t at all and plays in the same league, in fact the ceramic version of the Mi6 is a luxury, it's as fast as the oppo

I'll have Mi 6 (miui ROM) vs op5t speed test video hopefully up tonight/tomorrow morning on my YouTube channel.

Vid is up

MI 6 vs MI A1

Hello guys,
I need your honest opinion.
I need to get a new device. I only use blackberry old phone at this moment.
I am thinking of mi 6 or mi A1? Which one do you think is better?
I am thinking a1 for the price and stock android (what I love with oneplus before) but I like also to have snapdragon 835 and EIS for camera.
EIS also affect the quality of normal photos or videos only? I have shaky hands by the way.
Please advice.
Pricing:
mi a1 = 749 aed
mi 6= 1399 aed
Thanks guys
Mi 6 is better
Buy Mi 6 and install custom rom if you like stock.

Which custom ROM would you recommend? I couldn't find any with a battery performance and camera as good as the original one...
Mi 6 is flagship grade. A1 is midrange grade. The answer is very obvious.
imo
Brother! I have both the me A1 and the Mi 6 and the MI6 is so awesome and way better than the A1. Don't get me wrong, I like the A1 but the Mi 6 is so much faster and has many custom roms. If you look for the Mi A1 right now in the XDA forums there are no ROMs as of yet! The size of the Mi 6 is also much better than the size of the A1! I promise you brother!! You cannot go wrong with Mi 6!. It is an absolute pleasure to hold and to use!! And the dual firing speakers makes this a special beast! I personally love the MI6. I am selling my Mi A1
mi 6 is the best choice bro, good luck
Yep I had both the mi 6 was smaller in hand and snappier. Battery life similar on miui. Cam was also better
Mi6 my choice
I'd say if stock is more important to you and you dont mind weaker hardware - Mi A1.
You can install custom rom on mi6, but there will be bugs.
When my nexus died, I needed a replacement phone quick and A1 was not available. Having played with mi6 for a few month now, I'd probably bought A1 if I had a choice... or OnePlus5

Basically two reasons:
I used custom aosp rom on nexus 4 when official support ended and while it works, you need to jump through some hoops to get everything working and wipe the phone (cba).
There is no Oreo roms. Updates will be late at least and most likely there will be bugs.
I know I should just get a pixel, but google has some issues with displays it seems.

Regular sized pixel 2 display is fine. Just the XL if seems.
So don't let it put you off.
Gf has it and is very happy and it is a little bit better than my mi 6 for software updates etc.
Performance is barely better like scrolling in chrome looks nice but google on Google will always be better with their optimizations.
If you need a performance device get one with the SD 835 its an amazing chip.
Blazing fast and no heat even on custom ROMs on Mi 6

Ya me to think mi 6 is better, some people saying that mi 5s has better camera sensor imx 378, same used in google pixel
I have both 5s and 6. Here are some Pro/Cons for each. Please note that I have the 4GB variant of the 5s, so if you get the 3GB, performance may vary.
5s
Better front/back Camera
Google Camera Mod
Official LineageOS Support
Lighter and a feels a bit more narrow
Headphone Jack
Finger print reader is not as good
Mi 6
Front camera is worse
Back camera is good but GoogleCamera mod has an issue with focus/switching HDR on/off everytime
Portrait mode is pretty nice and has OIS where the Mi5s does not
Feels a little quicker than the 5s (821 vs 835)
Fingerprint reader is much better than 5s
Mi 6 is heavy(some people like this, some dont)
Honestly, my only complaint with the Mi 6 is the front camera and focus being bugged with the GoogleCamera mod. Hopefully that gets fixed somehow...
Please note I do not play any games, so I cannot expand on that.
Also, just my personal opinion, but I think its hard to find the 5s in black anymore. (I prefer the all black)

Thanks for such a detailed comparison, I already own a mi 5 & I am satisfied with it, another phone I need to buy for my wife, I guess the camera of mi 5s is better ( only my opinion)
And also I can save 100 bucks, and it will solve the purpose I hope, any idea if Mi 5s is supporting JIO VOLTE network in India?

Sorry, not sure. VoLTE works here in Japan.
If you are not looking to flash ROMs and installing mods, the Mi 6 is probably a better overall phone. It will also have better/longer support. (Android Oreo) is being rolled out in alpha/beta now.
I think the Mi 6 with 4GB RAM is a little cheaper too.
10/10 you should buy Mi6 if you have the budget, its worth w/ the price. Considering the spec.

Possibility going from OnePlus 5t to Pixel XL?

Ok I know this is a pixel XL forum but I have the 5t and it's great....BUT I miss the stock Android with the updates being constant. I have the 6gb version but I don't want to lose in this. Anyone been/is in my situation? Can someone tell me if it's worth it?

I just switched from my 5t to a XL 128GB. It's more fluid. Stock Android and ROM support is at a high for the XL. Better phone in general. I like the 5 and the 5T but ain't nothing like Nexus/Pixel ??*
I had a OnePlus 3 and recently moved to a Pixel XL, I won't go back to a OnePlus product, software-wise is not worth it, their version of oreo is pure crap, their software updates are slow, camera is not that great, the size and screen of the 5T are awesome though, but software and software updates are most important for me, having updates almost monthly is priceless, also, they released the 5T with nougat which means android 9 is going to be the latest major update as well as the Pixel Xl which almost 2 years older.

Fast and smoothly Rom for Xiaomi Mi Mix 2

Hello! I'm looking for a Rom for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. The Rom should be fast and stable (no beta or nightly). I do not need heaps of features! I just want a little and fast rom.
Please do not recommend the Epic Rom to me. This Rom is very slow and does not run smoothly.
Thank you!
You will not find it amongst custom ROMs.

You obviously did not set kernal to permissive on Epic!! If you had, you would know it then runs buttery smooth!! You really shouldn't bad mouth someones development when you dont read or understand whats being said numerous times within their forums. I run Epic and have for a very long time. Set to permissive and all is good. Good luck.
I use aicp. I use it for two weeks now. It is very very stable. Very good battery as well and it is fast. No show downs what so ever.
You posted this in the wrong place..

If you want a truly smooth smartphone, then sell your Mi Mix 2, and buy an OnePlus 6 (ok there is notch, but d**n, it's so smoother than Mi Mix 2)

Come on man, I just have my my mix 2 a week, global stock rom, no root and I must say, this thing is Smooth, I don't game but everything I trow at it it handles fine.
The mi mix 2 se has the same CPU as the oneplus? I would buy that one then.
Mi mix looks more sexy then all other phones, sexy as hell!

If you have mi mix 2, its a waste of money to change to OP6. The performance of 845 in comp with 835 its not so big and you wont feel it in daily use.
Its worth the trade only if you want better camera/amoled, but even in that case, you have better options.

Yeah that's definitely Oneplus fanboyism talking up here.. I have owned a OP3 and never getting another Oneplus product. Had some issues and their support is just horrendous.
Xiaomi offers way better value for your money now that Oneplus is almost as expensive as a galaxy.

I'm completely done with Oneplus personally
They claim to be a "small company" and to listen to their users (which they really don't). They are just BBK's electronics marketing machine. They are becoming the Oppo for the west.
The time were Oneplus was really for tech enthusiasts is gone now.

No, I do not think so. The Mi Mix 2 has a lot of power. The original rom runs smoothly and quickly. But I just do not like the rom and it does not work so well. I will try AICP today.

Still worth to buy Mi Mix 2 in late 2018?

Hello guys,
I'm thinking about getting a replacement for my old redmi note 2 and looking for Mi Mix 2. Can get it for about 250 bucks.
Is it a good choice for everyday use?
Other phones I'm looking for are Xiaomi A2 and Xiaomi Redmi note 6 Pro .
Thanks for your opinions

kind of a design way as there are no much differences in everyday usage. Of course it is more powerful with better camera, but personally I would prefer the look and the feel of a Mix 2
For me, yes. Mine satisfy to use Mix 2 on November 2018.
Honestly I want to say yes but I just have to say no. Drop a little more cash and get yourself a Mix 2S or a Mi8. The Mix 2 is nice but the Snapdragon 845 is more future proof and the Mix 2 camera was okay'ish when the device came 12 months ago so it's not ageing well. Here's my advice: spend that little more extra cash to get the better cam & performance
