Is the Xiaomi Mi 6 Worth it?

Hey
Thanks for any help, and sorry if this isn't the proper space for it.
I've a Sprint S6 Edge, but I'm considering changing it for the new Xiami Mi 6. Is it a good deal?
Am I going to miss the 2K Amoled Screen? I'm going to feel the difference in the camera? And the IR sensor? Am I going to miss it that much?

I think MI 6maybe better than S6E, there's a 835 in it.

If u want keep on Sprint, do not purchase the Chinese brand cell phone which not sold by Sprint. Too pain.
If u can transfer to T-Mobile or AT&T, that a great phone recently.

Great phone, got it today.

i buy it today. so i waiting.

Xiaomi only uses good chipset nothing else, S6 Edge is better, dont buy xiaomi

What do you mean? I'm still using a 3 years old mi 3. Had to change only once the battery. Running the latest RR rom is still better than many new phones with OEM roms.

Why? I have Mi5 for a year,and it shames my father S6E in almost every aspect. Only thing going for S6E is screen...,maybe...

Well, now I'm using MI 6, I got it for have a month. The hardware is good except some problems caused by SD835(such as WiFi...), but the software is not so stable at the moment, for example, in latest version of MIUI the quick charge was limited...
It will be better after a few days, anyway software problems are easy to fix.

I don't think so. Used both S6 Active and S7 Active, I would say Mi 6 is better than both.

Which version MIUI you have? I have no problem with both the latest stable China and Custom EU rom (based on Dev China Rom).... (I used 45W charger of Xiaomi which support both USB PD and QC 3.0)

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

Is the Mi Max 3's picture quality as bad as it looks online?

I've watched almost every Mi Max 3 video on Youtube but I always noticed that the Mi Max 3 display looks really dull, colours don't pop, blacks aren't very deep.
I know this is an IPS panel, not AMOLED/OLED but what concerned me is this video . As I am coming from an iPhone 7 plus that has an IPS panel, I want the display quality to at least be somewhat equal if i'm "upgrading", I know the specs won't be better than iPhone 7 plus but I really really want a bigger screen for media consumption.
I know this video is comparing the Mi Max 2 and iPhone 7 plus but I can't find any direct comparison on the Mi Max 3. Is the Mi Max 3's display significantly better than Mi Max 2 and is it comparable to the iPhone 7 plus display?
Can anyone who have an iPhone and Mi Max 3 show comparison photos between both phones picture quality if possible? :fingers-crossed:
PS: Also are there any display issues with this Mi Max 3? Such as the "Blue Shift" when viewing off-angle?

Send me an iPhone to compare it to and I'll gladly take those pictures.

With cream and cherry on top.
Edit: Seriously though, the display is just fine.
I came from a Mi Mix 2 and even had a OnePlus 3 for some time and have nothing to complain about.

Agreed, I came from a Samsung Note 8, and it's nearly as good.

I'm also coming from a Samsung Note 8 & Note 9, and am finding that I prefer the Max 3. The picture quality and screen clarity is almost as good as both Note's. Am actually going to be returning my Note 9 and keeping my Note 8 as a back up phone. Hope that helps.

Also I noticed you used to own a Huawei P8Max. I actually used to own a P8 Max 2 years ago but unfortunately water damaged it while I was holidays. :crying:
Could you please let me know how is the display/picture quality of the Mi Max 3 compared to the P8 Max? Is it much better?
Also are there any pros or cons between the two devices? Or is the Mi Max 3 better than the P8 Max in every way?

What's the probleme? Any Idea? It's very difficult to got one. On aliexpress, impossible to find one...

Yeah, weird thing about that model. One day I bought one from some AliExpress seller, 2 days later it went from 310$ to 380$. Guess I bought it just in time.

Xiaomi don't release and seems to not release global rom for 6GB.
And Xiaomi want to blocked the possibilities to flash global rom, on a chinese device....

Someone is salty.
I find the Max 3 to be one of the best phones I've had so far. But this is coming from someone that loves big screen / battery phones.

I agree... I got the three Mi Max. The third is clearly the best one.

I've the 2 and love it. Have just ordered the 6/128 from tradingschenzen as the bigger screen area, better camera and faster proc are all really appealing. My only worry is the lack of custom roms (currently rocking msm extended and love it on the 2) but once I can root for adblock, afwall and debloating I'll be happy.

I am not a hardcore gamer but performance is also a factor for me. TIA.

Meh, I'd rather go for a Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G. It's cheaper as well.

I have had the Mi 10 Lite 5G. A good phone but Poco F3 will have much better support for Gcam. Would definitely go for F3 over Mi 10 Lite.

Mi phones are a hit or miss. But GCam can solve those problems

This is not a camera phone, your best bet for a camera phone with performance is the Samsung S20 FE.
Otherwise you're asking for too much at this price range, you need to spend on a flagship phone like the Mi 11 if you want all the bells and whistles.
You either get a good camera in the Redmi Note 10 Pro but average performance or your get the Poco F3 which has the performance but just average camera at this budget oriented price range.

Nono, Mi 10 Lite 5G. Look up reviews on the phone. Read about it. Look at the prices.
I am pretty sure it's precisely what you need. Fast CPU, good camera, low price.
Though, the choice is yours. Only you know what suits you.

The camera is good. I've installed ArrowOS on it with gcam. Using it as a second phone.
How ever, it is a budget phone. It has a low price for a reason. At the same time, for that price, the camera is good.
The Poco F3 costs about twice as much as the Mi 10 Lite 5G.
At that price you are better off buying a used Xiaomi Black Shark 3. Superior camera, superior speed cpu/gpu, superior most of everything.

But where are you able to buy a Mi 10 Lite 5G for half the price of F3? In that case you are most likley talking about a second hand unit.
Xiaomi Black Shark 3 is a ugly gaming phone. I you are looking for second hand unit in that price range you can just as well buy a Mi 10 or Mi 10T Pro instead. Much better camera than BS3.
