I have been using Redmi note 4, and also a Samsung Galaxy A5 2017. For me it felt better to look at the Samsung's LCD. I don't know why, but it's just more comfortable. The Note 4 looks a bit blurry compared to the Samsung A5, and also, on the Samsung, it feels like the LCD is directly placed on the glass itself, so it looks like the glass and LCD are one, but on the Note 4 you can tell it's separate. How would you compare the Note 4 to the A2 Lite then? because good lcd is important for me
Also, the A5 has a gorilla glass, and I guess the A2 does not have and is much more fragile?\
What is your opinion?
Thanks.
My previous phone before Mi A2 Lite (daisy) was a Redmi Note 4 (mido), too.
I can't compare directly the two phones, because I already sold mido, but daisy screen seems a bit better (but it could be a placebo effect).
Three considerations:
- maybe the LCD panel in your mido is different from mine, causing different opinions
- Samsung uses OLED screens on [almost?] all of its smartphones, and OLED screens are the best at the moment
- OLED screens are expensive compared to normal LCD screen (you'll know when repairing a broken screen).

Dual cameras are becoming the trend design manufacturers smart phones and of course also no exception Xiaomi. More information for advanced phones that redmi upcoming Note 4 will have a metal frame and dual camera.
New images have been revealed also partly confirmed the authenticity of the information on, redmi Note 4 can be arranged 2 cameras with larger sensors in the longitudinal direction and LED flash in the middle, instead of horizontally like most camera phones now double.
Part designed as images, frames will be made of curved metal claws on each side at the back, volume up key phrases placed on the right side.
Of course can not be confirmed by leaked images have exactly the redmi Note 4 or not, but the probability is very high. Because if compared with previous redmi Note 3 both have similarities, only behind fingerprint sensor has been replaced by cameras. If accurate information, redmi Note 4 will have the home button integrated fingerprint sensor?
Am I the only one prefering Note 7 design over Note 8 bezel less design? I mean, when I look at the galaxy s8 and s8 plus or the upcoming Note 8 that so called "Bezel less" design doesn't look organic.
The design looks overly crowded on top with camera, iris scanner, speaker, like they couldn't find anywhere else to put those so they just stuff it there to make more room for the screen. It's not elegant or simple. It's messy. There's no symmetry.
Yes, a big screen is always nice and welcomed, but the resolution is so unusual that it doesn't even fit most formats. So you get black bezels anyway.
------- The Note 7 however is simple. Not as pretentious as the s8 series. And its display is clear and clean and yet, it still manages to show freedom on the sides.
S8 "bezel less" design is not there yet. It's like some "freak" phone which tries to be bezel less but can't. It feels "uncomfortable"...
I have the S8 and my wife the S7 edge. When looking at them side by side, I find the S7 edge nicer to look at. The S8 design is rather plain when screen is off. But when using the phones, the S8 is much nicer to use. What makes it better IMO is the rounded corner, not so much the bezel less.

I do prefer the 16:9 screen aspect ratio on the the note 7 over my s8 plus...seems too long and skinny but i have gotten used to it.
I also dont like the black front of the S8s and prefer the back and front being the same colour as on the note 7....the black front looks boring.
The S7 and note 7 series are the best looking devices ever made IMO
Not having bezels is great but they can do that without the first 2 things i mentioned.
sent from my S8 plus, S7 edge or S6
I just hope that Samsung does the right thing and offer the note 7FE to everyone who returned the original note 7 and not just those in Korea.

I use to think the same way too. But after owning the Note 8 for 7 months. I can honestly say that I have gotten use to it. Don't get me wrong the curve edges are still a major eyesore during media consumption. But otherwise Samsung's new Infinity Display design is pretty good.
So I got my brand new Xiaomi redmi note 5 global, I noticed ghosting after 5 min reading on some app and switch to another app.
Display panel is tiamma, what a shame same problems with the tiamma panel on the note 4.
Jdi panel on note 4 no problems with ghosting at all.
How to test it let it for like 5 a 10 min on the same app and go to a darker app.
It is a shame that such low quality panels are used again., Mi mix 2 does also have severe problems with image response time.
Edit I noticed more people are complaining about ghosting on the redmi note 5.
I'm pretty sure, most of the note 5's use tiamma panels, if not all of em, image retention hasn't been an issue on mine, I've read you can adjust the color temperatures to a cooler setting, an some other small things that fixes the problem, for the money, I think the display looks pretty great, I came from an iPhone 7 Plus costing 700+ with uneven lighting/yellowing of the display.
Hello all !
I need some help!
I'm in need of a new phone and came to the conclusion I wanted a Xiaomi. After watching some video's I came to the conclusion I wanted the Mi CC9 (Mi 9 Lite) so I've just ordered the 64gb variant.
After doing some further research I've discovered I could've got a Redmi Note 8 Pro for only £8 more.
Do you think I should cancel my order and get the Note 8 Pro? The dust and splash resistant is something I could really do with as I hate the fear of potential water damage from rain.
Also even though the Note 8 Pro features a 4500 maH battery and the Mi 9 Lite only has a 4030 maH battery which do you think will last longer? Considering it has a bigger screen and a more demanding processor do you think that the 9 Lite battery will still be better?
I can't do you a comparison. However, I got myself a Redmi Note 8 pro just over a week ago instead of the K20 pro or the mi 9 pro. I can tell you I am pretty happy with my decision. I didn't care for the pop up camera, nor the OLED screen or in screen finger print sensor. On the 8 pro, the screen is good under most condition. The battery is way better than what I have on the iPhone 8 plus. The processor is fast, everything is snappy and the finger print sensor on the back works very well.
Hope the above helps. Good luck on your purchase.
Redmi note 8 pro is definitely a better option right now at this very moment, any other phone will be a waste of resources, i own one and totally loves it!!!!!!

How is the display? I want AMOLED but also want the dust and water resistant that the Note 8 Pro has

Also why will any other model be a waste of resources? The Note 8 Pro has a Mediatek chip which has a bad reputation for optimisation and regular updates, as well as going crap after 2 years.
The 9 Lite has a snapdragon which from what I've heard will receive more updates
I asked the same in the S20FE Forums but thought i'd ask here too.
I'm looking to replace my S10e with a larger phone. It's down to Mi10T Pro or S20FE. I will have to get the Exynos Version of the S20. It seems to be a toss up between the OLED Screen on the Samsung and the easier unlock plus Snapdragon on the Mi10T.
I don't care for cameras too much, i don't consume media on my phone, i know MIUI and OneUI and don't mind either. I've had great experience with Xiaomi and Samsung in the past. The only thing i'm a bit worried about is coming from an OLED Screen (S10e) to an IPS one might be a bit jarring when it comes to text contrast.
The xiaomi will be marginally cheaper (a few bucks).
Since i'll get it through my carrier, i can't get the regular Mi10 anymore. I debated waiting for the Mi11 but that will be quite a bit more expensive and i really don't need the increase in performance.
So what do you think? AMOLED + Exynos or IPS + Snapdragon?

Its up to u, s20 fe is really good phone too. I actually decided to go with mi 10t since fe and 10tpro are 100e more than 10t and they are not that better for that much difference, camera is 5% better and mi 10t is still capable of making some great shots. According to screen ive used 9t before and i can tell that i like IPS more and its faster refresh rate is amazing, but it doesnt have aod and super wallpapers so its one downside for me.
Mi 10T Pro is a much better phone overall, which is amazing given it's way cheaper than the S20FE. One of the best value phones hands down.
Software wise is less bloated and offers a better Android experience.
Hardware is so much better in every single area. The camera is very very good, the battery performance is stellar, the screen is top notch for an IPS LCD screen. Then Exynos vs Snapdragon, dilemma in which I prefer Snapdragon.
Now there's a few things which might be deal breakers for people:
-No IP68 (I've never had the need for this in my life, phone is unusable when swimming anyways), but if you love boating, beaches or swimming then this might be a deal for you.
-ANY AMOLED screen it's light years ahead of even the best LCD screens. It's day and night difference: the contrast, the colors, everything. Pictures with bright colors on day light they're comparable, as soon as there's an image with heavy contrast, shadows or black on it then it's VERY obvious the differences specially indoors. When web browsing or scrolling around the menus you won't notice, as soon as you open a photo or a nice wallpaper, you'll see how bad LCD screens are compared to AMOLED.
-Developer community is still dead for the Mi 10T.
I came from a Mi 9T Pro, and the AMOLED screen it's a big deal... But I really wanted the infinite lasting battery of the Mi 10T and the IR blaster. As an added bonus I found out the camera, specially video recording and low light photos is so but so much better. But once you go AMOLED is very hard to go back to LCD.
Just because of the Samsung bloatware I'd avoid them like a plague, and you'd think a Chinese manufacturer would be worse but overall Xiaomi is better than the rest, they have done a pretty good job from hardware to software. It's a solid and nice product.
And for the money of an S20 FE you're better off buying a Google Pixel 5 which is pretty good if you don't mind the "OK" battery.
Or better yet go for the Mi 10 Ultra or Mi 11 Pro which is around the corner.

Snapdragon 865 in Mi 10T Pro is 30% faster than the Exynos on S20... and also better thermal control and less throttling.
I agree the LED on 10T vs Amoled on S20 is a slight downer, however the 10T PRo is 144Hz refresh vs 120 on Samsung S20
Battery life is undoubletly better on Xiaomi compared with Samsung, and also the battery in 10T Pro is a lot larger (5000mah)
Look on eBay or FB for best prices on borh phones before you make your final decision.
(I got a 2nd hand Mi 10T PRo brand new - with genuine UK Mi 30w charger, but no retail box - for £380 on FB Marketplace )
I'm also excited about the upcoming Mi 11 range but agree with you... Mi 11 prices for next 3-6 months will be much higher than for Mi10 , even 2nd hand ones.
Either S20 FE or Mi 10T Pro will be a great device for you, but my vote goes for the Mi 10T Pro.
(P.S. go for 256GB storage option as Mi 10 devices do not support SD Card expansion).
well it's not a direct comparison , but i've upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 , and I miss the Note 8's Amoled screen.. it's much much better that Mi 10T Pro's LCD if you factor out the smooth 144hz screen , everything else is much bettter on the Xiaomi... oh forgot about note8 is thinner at that Spen
The contrast on Mi 10T/Pro is high but not on the same level of OLED screens. Probably the best LCD I've seen on a phone.
guys i found the s20fe 5g and the mi10t in the same price wich one should i choose both of them are equiped with sd865
