Hi.
I have a Ulefone Be Touch 2 and I want to buy a new phone.
I don't know if I should buy a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite or a Redmi Note 7.
The Android One of the Mi A2 Lite is more appealing, but the RN7 has a bigger screen.
My eyes are not perfect, but if the Mi A2 Lite has at least the same screen width as the UBT2, then I'll probably buy the Mi A2 Lite instead of the RN7. The UBT2 has a screen width of about 68.5mm (2.7 inches) and a total width of 77.4mm (3.05 inches).
Can someone please measure the screen width of the Mi A2 Lite? I know that the total width of the Mi A2 Lite is 71.68mm (2.82 inches), but I don't know it's screen width.
Thank you.
About bugs, anyone experience anything bad? GPS and bluetooth work fine?
Should we expect updates until Android 10 or until Android 11?
Concerning privacy, do you recommend me to install a CFW to prevent any kind of spying by Xiaomi?
Why do you wanna know about screen width though?
Mi A2 Lite display have 5.84 inches, 85.1 cm2 (~79.5% screen-to-body ratio), and Ulefone Be Touch have 5.5″ screen.
I recommend buying Redmi Note 7. It has way more peformance, the design is beautiful and has a 48mp camera, has a headphone jack, etc. I don't think Android One is appealing. Android One is stock android and has almost no features. It's just boring. If you don't like miui, you can install custom rom in the device later.

Thank you very much for your help.
I want to know the screen width because I can't see very well (my eyes suck), and I need a phone with a big screen width. I understand that the diagonal of the Mi A2 Lite is 5.84 inches and that the diagonal of the UBT2 is 5.5 inches, but what about the width?
Regarding the RN7, I don't really like the miui. I've asked about the RN7 in another thread and they told me that custom roms for the RN7 still have a few bugs... maybe the bugs will be solved in future updates, maybe not.
EDIT: asked an eBay seller, he told me the screen width is 64mm (don't know if he measured it correctly or not).

Hi All
Currently looking for a new phone and MI6 is top of my list, big Xiaomi fan, but my one concern is the weight of the phone. I'm coming from an MI4C which is extremely light (132g) v MI6 (168g). Can anyone comment on the weight of MI6, does it feel quite heavy? Looking at other flagships it seems one of the heaviest out there in that screen size market.
its so heavy, if you have problem with weight of phone, consider...
its super cool phone, everything is fine , but so heavy
You get used to the weight quite quickly. But why now a Mi6? Is it about the size? I would wait for the presentation of the Mi8.
Sorry for OT,
Need advice
What should i choose mi mix 2s or up coming mi 8
At first its seems quite heavy, but you get comfy with it very easy.
I like it when the Phone is a bit heavier so you can feel it in your pocket.
Buy it if you want a new Phone right now then go for it or wait for the Mi 8 for sure.

Hmm yes not sure what to do. Using one handed I'm sure it gets quite heavy after a while.
I'm a big fan of smaller screen sizes, so max would be 5.5in. Seems like MI8 is going to be over 6 in which is way too big for me
you can not compare "old" 5.5in phones with new ones:
6" Mi Mix 2s
Dimensions 150.9 x 74.9 x 8.1 mm (5.94 x 2.95 x 0.32 in)
5,5" Redmi Note 3 Pro
Dimensions 150 x 76 x 8.7 mm (5.91 x 2.99 x 0.34 in)
I have the ceramik version, which is still a a bit heavier than glass-version. but no problem!
If you decide on a mi6, don't buy the ceramic, you will not need it. I bought it since there was almost no price difference to the "standard" version.
What i really like about my Mi6 is the (ultrasonic) Fingerprint/Home button on front - perfect unlocking even with wet fingers.
Maybe Mi8 in-display fingerprint is just as good, we will see.

I've heard that the ultrasonic fingerprint reader on our mi 6 is actually the try-and-see thing before going to in display ultrasonic fp readers. And I remember some guy on miui forums who've tested mi 8 saying it's quite responsive as mi 6's.
It gets a little heavy when I hold it with one hand but mostly when I try to watch something in landscape. No problems when using two hand of course. Holding it in portrait with one hand is fine for as long as I like. I actually love the weight of it most of the time, feels very premium.
The mi6 is a great phone at its price IMO. If you like your devices notchless and can stand losing the headphone jack this is a great option.
It is nice and heavy.
I'm contemplating of buying this phone or should I wait for MI 8. The price is very tempting to buy now or should I wait for Mi 8?
The things to consider is I want to try the amoled screen at mi 8. Also I want to have a borderless screen. But is it worth the wait? I'm time limited because the buyer of my current phone will leave next week.
Is the camera quality of the new sensor so good as the mi 6?
I'm torn.
Wait for mi 8 then but mi 6 ?. Seriously this is a really solid device. For the price range we're talking about, mi flagships offer very high value/price rate and don't get deprecated as quickly as the other brands' same price devices.
Camera etc all good and unless you are a freak that counts every pixel in a photo you won't notice any great improvements over this phone on mi 8 or so.
About amoled vs ips lcd, I think they're nearly identical in terms of power usage (in real life, "normal" applications) hence the whites are everywhere, inevitable. Color reproduction of the screen is great here too.
But for borderless screen and having on screen navbar things on a 18:9 phone vs capacitive buttons + 16:9 screen, that's up to you. I don't see any great improvements on user experience with one over two unless we're talking about a serious gesture based ux like on sailfish os devices so I don't care here.
I think the most obvious change between the two is the chipset so decide yourself, whether you want to pay more and get mi 8 or get mi 6 for real cheap (when mi 8 starts to ship). Again expect no dramatical changes between the two chipset as they're both 10 nm architecture.
Wait for mi9, Buy mi6 or just buy the mi2x instead.
Hi,
I love the big screen and I love miu. What do you guys suggest to buy now with such a big screen? Even if it is not Xiaomi....the galaxy note is beautiful but so expensive.
Thanks
Nobody has a suggestion? I'm also looking for a new not expensive phablet 7+", 5500+mAh, TF-Card, 512 MB Ram, 5G + Band 20, Infrared, Earphone-hole, NFC, USB3, same sensors, fingerprint sensor, ...
You could try GsmArena's Phone Finder feature
I'm looking as well and there really is nothing comparable. A few nearly have the specs in every area but theyre all skinny screens now
there is no option
we must ask xiaomi to build next mi max phone.
with same size 18:9 display and better speakers.
or taller screen but with same width.
maybe a poll in official xiaomi forum?
near flagship big screen phone.
mate 20 x.
In my country Oneplus 8T is 809$ after taxes where's Mi 10T (not the pro version) is 435$ after taxes, which one should i get? Is 8T really worth the higher price?
I tried both, and for the price, I would get the MI 10T
the only difference is the screen and the UI, if you like OLED blacks and are ready to spend 400 more then go for the 8T.
other than that the MI10T is better in battery and main/Selfie camera
to my eyes, the LCD from the MI10T is quite good and almost on par with an OLED
there are huge problem with the mi 10t / pro
proximity sensor no fix yet
loudspeakers mic
DnD
etc
I had the same doubts as you.
Go for Mi 10 T Pro.
After years of using Samsung's and OP's with AMOLED screens I have switched from OP 6T to Mi 10 T Pro and have no regrets. To be honest, my advice would be go to the store first and check does the size of the phone suits you because it's a bit bulky phone, but looking at what you get for the price I don't see reason why to pay almost double the price for OP 8T.
I have read many reviews and my only worry was the screen as it's LCD, but the screen is excellent. The difference is only visible if you put phone with OLED side by side with Mi 10 T, otherwise I can say only the best for it.
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
