Should i buy it? or one plus 5?

Hi all,
Im looking for a new phone, i currently own a redmi note 3 pro, but i want a better phone overrall, i always loved mi mix, altough it was too expensive for me and a bit too big, plus the camera isnt that great..
Well, mi mix 2 was announced, kinda disappointed in some way, but i still like it, camera is good (could be better), dont care about no headphone jack, only thing that i would really like is the double camera, on the other hand, there is one plus 5, ~100€ less than mi mix 2 on gearbest, great phone overall, nice camera, but the design isnt as good as mi mix 2....
Well, im sure some of you guys have the mi mix 2, do you recommend it or should i go for one plus 5 or another phone?
Also i was looking now at the LG G6, looks cool too.

Well I couldn't resist and already bought the mi mix 2 on gearbest, but I made the mistake of buying the 64gb when the 128gb was only 10€ more, only saw it after, thanks for the feedback tho, got me more confident.
Hopefully we get some custom roms like lineage soon.
Does it come with tempered glass? If not where I can buy one

Definitely Mix2 is better than OP5

Well, I'm in the same place as were you, ShadyGame, but I'm more patient
MI Mix2 is beautifull for me, my only concern is about GPS accuracy (I know Mi5 had problems), so I wait for some owners opinions

I couldnt resist too and bought the device also on gearbest today. Im curious when it will arrive.
It will be my first xiaomi device so im also curious about MIUI and the rom development for the mix 2 ..
I hope it wasnt a wrong decision to buy mi mix for 520€ instead an Galaxy S8 for 520€ too ^^

I purchased one last week, have the Redmi Note 3 Special Ed. Was tossing up between this and the Oneplus5 as well.
Hope it arrives soon, any thoughts on staying with the ROM it comes with. Here in Australia if I root or unlock the phone my banking apps will not work.

I think they will, if you use Magisk hide, or am I wrong?

i have a redmi note 3 pro, it was awesome, but i cracked the screen and i want something top line xD
galaxy 8 here costs like 800€ in my country, simply not an option when i can buy mi mix 2 for 530.

I own both currently. The OP5 is much lighter and the Oxygen OS is much more stock. The MIX2 just looks more modern with the bezeless design. Talking about weight again, the MIX2 almost makes my hands tired holding it for a long time compared to the OP5. The ceramic is absolutely beautiful, but don't know if its worth the weight since you cover it up with a case almost immediately. Performance wise, they are similar. Both are snappy and get stuff done. Camera wise, both aren't as good as the top flagships, but they do the job sufficiently.
OxygenOS is WAY better than MIUI. It was just easier to setup with launchers and the interface is just cleaner. I was having all kinds of trouble with notifications with MIUI, but I finally have it working right. Maybe things would be different with the global rom?? Who knows, but I can't wait for some alternate ROM to show up to clean things up. My final decision is going to be to stick with the MIX2. Reason being I can't stand the 4 year old design that Oneplus stole from apple.

I dont really care about the OS when im buying a new phone, i know i will be rooting it and installing a stock rom, hopefully we get lineage soon...untill then ill stick to MIUI is not that bad in my opinion.

What do you guys think how long will this device live?
I am still using a Oneplus One, which is pretty old by now - so I tend to settle on phones and only switch once something is broken or I'm really impressed. Development for Oneplus One ROMs / Kernels is still going on, because it was a highly anticipated phone and had many users. Is the Mi Mix 2 compared to the OPO a niche product?

It will live untill you break it xD, i mean, look at that screen, never gets old, with snapdragon 825 and 6 gigs of ram i think it will be a good phone for the years to come...the only thing i wish it was better is the camera, from what i've seen, still didnt receive mine, but i dont expect the quality of an iphone or s8, or even LG v30.

Should I?

I chose the Mi Mix 2 over the Huawei Mate 10 because of price, updates and looks and I've not regretted it. It's also one of the few phones without the stupid notch. I recommend that you buy it but don't get it from Lightinthebox. You're better off with Gearbest even if it's a few dollars more.

I love mine. I would debate on whether you should maybe wait for the Mi Mix 2S or not. We are finally at the point where the AOSP ROMs are pretty solid as an alternative to MIUI. So if using something like Resurrection Remix or Lineage OS is a strong desire, then the 2 is probably a better choice over the 2s.

Thanks dude
My Mi Mix 2 is coming ^^

I got mine for a few days now and I cannot say anything else that I love it! Definitely it worths its price
I've got the note 8 before and except for the s-pen, I dont miss it. The mi mix has better size, a big screen in a more handly body and it has very nice design. The fingerprint sensor is waaaaaay better. Performing its as well, Samsung is still a little laggy sometimes, here there is no lag at all, everything run so fast... I cannot complain about anything not even for the camera which I readed its trash... its not for me, fulfills perfectly in most situations.
You made a very good purchase, enjoy it

It really depends on what you are looking for. But i love my phone.
I chose the Mi Mix 2 because of the high ratio of display (almost bezel less) and the possibility to use custom rom (but for the sake of argument... Unlocking the bootloader is F***ING ANNOYING).
At this time around, i join with the other users... wait for the official specs of the Mi Mix 2S, before you make a decision.

Maybe they changed the procedure, because i unlocked the BL of a Redmi 3 for a friend of mine. It was quite simple indeed.
But mine was not. I subcribed to the MIUI-Forum, needed a VPN-Client so connect to china and had to wait 72 Hours.

Wtf...
There is some Telegram or WhatsApp group about Mi Mix 2?

Sad story, yesterday I broke my s4 glass, I accidentally dropped it, not once, but twice. First time it strenuously survived, but the second time unavoidably it broke.
So, after half a day of mourning I then didn't look around but went straight reading about mi mix2. And you know what?
It happened that today was the Mi Mix 2S presentation date. :crying:
So now I'm torn. Wait for a while for the 2S or don't look ahead but buy the mix2.
My main concern is about the mi mix 2 OS, it will be global already or will I have to update the software all by myself (or better, thanks to XDA? )

Why would you cry mate? It brings advantages on both ways. Either you pick Mi Mix 2, of which price is already dropping slowly, or you decide to get 2S which will (surprisingly, to be fair) launch with the same price as its predecessors (3299 CNY/ 32999 INR / 530 $) and will sport some important improvements (wireless charging, massive camera upgrade, AI, newer SoC, upgraded curved body). It's up to you what you choose. If you care about the camera at least a little bit, you shoule be aware of the fact that Mix 2's camera is really bad (and I'm generous).
Additionally, Mix 2S supports Project Treble which will drastically facilitate the creation of custom ROMs. So I think the amazing local developers will surely look after this device.

i know, the issue is that I have to change it now. So I doubt Mi Mix 2s will go on the market fast enough. And on the other front if Mix 2's camera is really THAT bad I will have to pass.
I'll have to find another option. Counting also that 6" are too big for me. In the beginning I was waiting for the mi7 but this accident changed my plans.

I understand your situation... Don't you have any spare phone you could use in the meantime? Mi Mix 2S reportedly launches on the 3rd of Apríl (for the rest of world; in China it might have launched already).
Keep in mind that this 6" phone, thanks to almost no bezels, won't increase the size any drastically. My guess (I don't have time to look it up, I apologize) is 1cm for height and basically nothing for width.
Also be aware that Mi line, which you were waiting for, doesn't support many LTE bands. So if you live in Europe, that's a big problem.
For the 2's camera - look up the test on the internet... it's quite average and considering the price it's bad. That's the reason why Xiaomi is releasing a semi-generation phone, mainly improving the camera quality

I googled yesterday to find out any dates (I followed part of the presentation where I only got the prices) but didn't have any luck. Sure if the date is around the April, I can wait. The S4 still works it's the glass that is quite broken. Sorry if I ask again, so the rom won't be localized, given it's just an update it won't mount Mi Mix2 rom?

Feel free to ask anything, that's why this forum exists
I answered you incompletely, confused you - Mix 2S will surely have community support thanks to Project Treble, but it will, of course, come with localized ROM out of box. In their presentation they mentioned a personal assistent - whatever its name was - which they (surprisingly, haha) compared to Siri. Then in the slides they had a line saying for China only, which indicates there will be a global edition not including this feature. So just in case you needed a proof, this probably is one
Btw I'm the same case as you - working on original Sony Xperia Z (2013) with broken screen. However a little more than a half is touch accessible so I'm still surviving and slowly searching for a new phone

Initial Impressions/Opinions ?

So I've been eyeing this phone for a few weeks now,I was going to get the 9t last year but didn't and I ended up getting the X2 pro which for the most part has been an excellent device and obviously much more powerful,
I'm someone who gets bored of my phone and regularly change it at least every 2 years.
The X2 pro is good in every department but the camera let's it down a lot and the 4000mah battery is decent but it can run down fairly quickly,
The software is actually good on the Realme,
Would I be crazy to straight swap my X2 pro for a mi 10t lite,
Things I like about it are:
the Sony 64mp camera
Big 2 day battery
I like iPS screens and 120hz sounds good
I'm interested to try MiUI
There are dual speakers,
Basically it has all the essential things I would need
And I'm not a gamer but do browse a lot of social media and web ,news etc.
Has anyone moved from a more powerful device to the mi 10t lite ?
What are your impressions so far ?
Or is anyone considering it ?
Am I stupid/crazy to want to move to this Perhaps lower end device ?

Just to update,this was a bad idea,although interesting budget phone the X2 pro is far superior so I will hold out

Just got mine today and wow what an amazing phone so much flagship tech packed into a phone for £229 was intending on spending £600+ but no need now has everything I need dual stereo speakers, 120hz display , big battery , amazing camera, snappy 5g CPU 6gb ram list goes on and on , you wouldn't regret getting one and if order from Vodafone ATM you can claim a pair of buds worth £79:99 or a Amazon evoucher £150 now that's a lot for £229 for base model [emoji106]

Definitely a great deal and a solid device especially at that price point,I had purchased the 6/128 model on Amazon for £250 but later cancelled because I wasn't too sure on it.
I don't see any reason now to pay 500+ for a phone when devices like these are being released.
I will hang on to my 1 year old X2 pro tho for a while and keep an eye on Xaoimis releases

Got mine last week too directly from xiaomi, so far im very impressed. comming from a one plus 6 with lineage installed wasnt too sure how id like it but im happy enough for now, until lineage is avaliable for it anyway also hope to find cases for it on ebay soon

Coming from a redmi note 5 pro
And before that a one plus one.
Like the screen blacks. Still I think not comparable to op1.
Cameras. I've always been disappointed with cameras. This one looks ok. Esp the macro
Works fine no glitches.
But heavy. Soo heavy. Can't get used to it. That was the last phone I buy over 180 grams ever.

I am still impressed every day (coming from a bq Aquaris X).

One week with it and I keep struggling with communications. Wifi and Bluetooth stability trouble. Trying to find solutions, but it's not what I expect when I buy a new phone. So I'll try to fix things if possible this weekend and if not, I'll send it back to Amazon. Quite disappointed at this moment. It seems a good phone for the price but tired to lose my time. I need it to run flawlessly.

Interesting comment. While I think 6.3" and 186 g can be handled (I have a RN7) I'm unsure if the "now standard" 6.7" and ~215 g are a good daily companion (because of the better CPU/SOC etc. I plan to upgrade sooner or later). At least I hope this is the limit and we do not get 7" Phablets as standard Smartphone size soon. I remember when people complained about everything bigger then 4.5"

Question How are your Mi Mix Fold since you bought it? Durability, bugs ect...

Hello!
I am looking to buy this Mi Mix Fold for around 1300 euro brand new. First if all, do you think it is worth the money?
How is durability? Is it better than the first generation Samsung Galaxy Fold?
How is the hinge? Does it feel good?
How do you feel about the lack of OIS and wireless charging?
How is MUI on this fold? Is it buggy?
TWRP anytime soon? Anyone using Magisk?
Whats your overall view of this foldable phone?
Hopeful for answers

Hello!
Kindly find below my feedback, I hope it will be useful for you to take the decision.
I am looking to buy this Mi Mix Fold for around 1300 euro brand new. First if all, do you think it is worth the money?
In my opinion it worth the money.
How is durability? Is it better than the first generation Samsung Galaxy Fold?
Its not durable, you should handle with care (office use). Yes better
How is the hinge? Does it feel good?
Yes.
How do you feel about the lack of OIS and wireless charging?
I am using normal charging. its good. Chinese rom
V12.0.19.0.RJTCNXM​
How is MUI on this fold? Is it buggy?
Chinese rom is ok. no bugs but needs improvements. which is very slow
TWRP anytime soon? Anyone using Magisk?
Awaiting.... but no use as there will be no custom roms as expected.
Whats your overall view of this foldable phone?
Overall is very good phone, its better than Mate xs and Samsung fold 2, but I did not try mate x2 which is in my opinion better than our mix fold specially the external screen. (mix fold is narrow).

Overall is very good phone, its better than Mate xs and Samsung fold 2, but I did not try mate x2 which is in my opinion better than our mix fold specially the external screen. (mix fold is narrow).

Thank you very very much for your answer!

It's all good. The sound is out of this world. Expected for 4 speakers. It's good on all points you mentioned.
Mines going up for sale cause I have the mate x2 too. It has a better camera which I need cause I want the best pics with my young kids

Someone posted this further up. That hit the nail on the head. Mate x2 might be slightly better. Only due to its ridiculously good camera. The form factor is better on the mi mix fold, videos are larger cause of this, websites look better, x2 is too square like.
If you need best camera, x2
If you need best video watching experience and music playback, mix fold

MixFold Price is better

Much, much better. On the whole its better for the price alone. X2 price is ridiculous

I hope Xiaomi will spend some efforts to improve the software of our Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold

Agreed. Updates are slow

Received my Mix Fold today. What an awesome machine! And yeah, just hope for the updates.

Congratulations

I see there are screen protectors applied, both on the inside screen and outside. Is the screen protector on the inside big screen removable? Or will that kill the screen? Anyone tried to remove it?
I really hope that Xiaomi didn't do an oopsie here like Samsung did with the first 'unreleased" fold

No not removable, and you cannot put any extra screen protector on it.

I just bought one to Giztop now and its an amazing phone...12/512GB... Miui is near perfection fast and many tweak options the pictures are amazing and you can take very incredible photos ... the only annoying thing is after updating to Miui 13 Android 12 PC MODE DO NOT longer work ..

Fold1 USB hardware port is defective: only after some fiddling it sometimes allows for charging, and I haven't been successful to get a USB disk working...Looks like a deadly hardware failure after 18 months of ownership...I'm currently in Germany, but I'll be to China by the end of February. Anybody some ideas on how to fix that?

Question Buying advice, OnePlus 9 Pro in 2023?

Hey all! I looking to upgrade from a OnePlus 6. I am interested in custom roms (LineageOS/Microg) and the free availability of the MSM tool to help me in the case of bricking.
Is a new OnePlus 9 only (latest) phone left on the market that can still do this, or is it a dying breed?
How are people liking the curved edge of the screen? Are accidental touches a thing with a case?
Is battery life a problem, or would a custom rom and lowering the clock of the processor via root be necessary?
Is 8GB RAM enough? I'm not into gaming.
Any other issues I should be aware of, such as the upgrade to Android 13?
OR, would it be smarter to look elsewhere, even a OnePlus 10/11 and simply "debloat"?
Thanks!

Was the choice of 12gb/256gb mainly for storage?

No, for on going future high performance with new OS versions, updated apps, Etc.

I recommend the One Plus Pro 9 as well. Went to bestbuy several months ago and they ordered it for me. Best phone I ever used plus very easy to root / twrp.

I love mine, and bought it used at swappa. Get it.

Congratulations! Enjoy

Great...after I ordered it, the vendor says they made a mistake and there was no stock to begin with, so I got refunded. So much for inventory tracking systems...
Now I have a choice of a Black OnePlus 9 8gb/128gb or a Black OnePlus 9 Pro 8gb/128gb for €190 more.
Any opinions on the non-pro variant? Not sure how 8gb will be long-term, but I am still looking for stock in a 12gb option.

Go to a local electronic store like BestBuy and see if they can locate one for you. That's what I did, but you may not get the color you want.

Yeah, good idea, although no BestBuy in the EU. Still combing the internet for a 12/256 variant--i'm sure to find something.

Go pro you will be glad you did!

Why do you say that? Bad experience with the device?
Also, unless Carl Pei can make the Nothing Phone (2) into a modern (and better) OnePlus 5T, not sure it would be worth waiting. But who knows...
I would prefer a device that I can actually fully control, otherwise, I'd just go iPhone and line Tim Apple's pockets some more.

I have a 9p and it makes me mad when I use it,
I would suggest to go with Samsung s23+, nothing phone 2, or iPhone 13
But my recommendation is to wait for nothing phone 2,it gonna be smartphone of the year and nothing phone has best software experience , so don't make yourself regret and cancel the 9p order

To each his own!

I have the pro 8gb variant. Fantastic device. Doesn't lag at all. Battery lasts till afternoon and then I can charge it at half an hour. Cameras are great, but do note that they are not "iphone 14 pro great". No ghost touches. The only two things I am complaining is that I would love a 3.5mm jack and a little stronger reception.

Are there any useful tips people have to extend battery life?
I understand its different for everyone, but I hear some people tweak the clocks of the SD888 or use a specific rom
Yeah I also wish there was a headphone jack. The Asus Zenfone 9 with the SD8g1 (and some Sony Xperias) look good for that reason too.
