Hi buddies!
My 3 last smartphones were Samsung ones (A5/2016, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8) and now I'm thinking of trying something different.
I have nothing to complain about my Galaxy S8, but let's say that I'm tired of it.
I use the smartphone mainly for for social media and taking pictures, so, the camera is the more important feature for me.
Thinking of a new smartphone, I have Xiaomi Mi 8 and OnePlus 6T in mind.
I had in my hands the Mi A1 and Mi A2, but never used one with MIUI.
How about the screen quality? Will I notice too much difference switching back from 1440p to 1080p?
Is Mi 8 camera better than Galaxy S8's?
What you guys have to say about this deal?
No, you won't notice the difference between 1440 and 1080. Screen is excellent but s8 screen is a little brighter. Nevertheless xiaomi developer team is really really slooooow don't expect to be up to date with Android releases. I mean I am running 8.1 on mi8 (flagship) while the S7 is already on Pie.

Xiaomi updates every week ONLY Beta Builds. S7 has PI look it up I can show you some picture later. Please stop confusing people glorifying xiaomi dev team.

Most of Xiaomi users even don't know what is MIUI Beta/Weekly and the Global Stable ROM is very slow to update.
I had the S8 and made the change to Mi 8.
At first, running the Global stable rom, i was kinda let down. Hdr didn't work, camera was not good and headphone audio volume was low.
Then i installed the Global beta rom (based on pie). All the above problems were fixed, the camera if you want to install the bsg Gcam is Amazing. Stock is good too but Gcam is miles ahead. The norch support is improved, you can now get notifications on status bar.
The mi 8 is snappier ( touchwiz is laggy).Battery on this thing is really good (geting 7h SOT on miui). The Mi 8's screen is a downgrade but not as big as i first thought. I played many videos side by side and could notice "blacker" blacks on the S8.
My opinion is to go with mi 8 if you want to install a custom rom, to make it pixel-like or AOSP in general.
Imho even a Redmi note 6 pro would be a massive upgrade from any Samsung device.
Can't stand their roms and bloatware. Great hardware but awful software.

S7 has Pie only on custom Roms! Mostly on crappy AOSP Rom's where the battery life and camera quality is really bad.
Mi 8 and also Poco has Pie on official Beta from vendor. Even the S9 didn't have a official beta from Vendor with Pie (as far i know, but don't keep an eye on S9 dev).
Please keep the facts! Has nothing to do with glorifying someone.

No. You are confusing them. S7 has no official OTA pie update. S9 does not have stabel OTA pie. Infact, both Xiaomi and Samsung are really slow.

In principle, I advise you against it,
I have Mi8 it is very good phone at an excellent price, I moved from Galaxy Note 4
Mi8 battery life is great, usually I get +7 hours of SOT, and sometimes I reach 48 hours of use on one charge.
display is great, colors and brightness
I don't play games on it but the performance is smooth in general
the design and dimensions are very good also
the finger print sensor is fast , convenient and well placed.
charging is faster than Samsung's
I have used Samsung's software for years and I like, but you can easily get used to MIUI.
the stock camera software is not that good, but you can use a Gcam port like I do.
I have one complain about the Mi8 which is the speaker loudness, it is nearly inaudible if compared to my previous Note 4.
if you "need" a new phone immediately it will be a very good choice at a budget.
If you are looking for an upgrade from the S8, I think you Mi 8 is not a suitable one, neither the OP6T, especially with that in-display slow andn insecure finger print sensor.
I explained my reasons here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/love-mi-8-t3876024.

You will notice the difference in sound quality if you have an In-ear monitor (IEM) like KZ ZSN.
but price wise, and performance yeah I will definitely choose Mi8. will just need to unlock and tweak the audio. cheers
I've done it myself and I can say that I love the MI8 for its overall performance and MIUI10 which is to me so far the best Android experience. I do miss some stuff tough like the wireless charging and IP68 certification which was really nice to have. But I don't regret my purchase.

Hey guys I have 3 weeks the Huawei p9 lite 2gb ram 2016 edition .. it's a little slow, and the 2gb Ra is not enough for me because I am using Facebook messenger, Instagram etc etc .. is it worth to sell the p9 lite for 150 and buy the redmi note 4 Snapdragon 3gb ram with 160 euro ? What about the ram management? The speed of the processor etc ? Please give me more details about redmi note 4 , I know it's specs but I am not sure if it is Worthing. Thanks .
P9 Lite pros: NFC, Camera, Audio quality.
Redmi Note 4 is better at pretty much everything else.

It's not big difference, but Xiaomi is notorious for poor camera quality even in flagships. They use decent sensors, but optics are most important and they are lacking in this aspect.
But there are some ported camera apps that improve the quality by good margin. You can search for Redmi Note 4 camera samples and see for yourself.
It's really Snapdragon 625 which makes this phone great, there is not that many phones which can achieve 10-12 hours SoT with 2 days of usage, and Redmi Note 4 can do it.
Overall Redmi Note 4 is way better than P9 Lite, i think it's no brainer if you can sell your old phone.

Alright thanks, what about the speed ? I am running multiple apps at the same time , which apps consume a lot of ram usage .. like Facebook, messenger, Viber etc.. would I see any good difference?

Obviously you gonna see difference since you are switching from 2 to 3GB of RAM.. even better if you could get 4GB RAM variant.

Nah the 4gb version costs 215 euro almost.. i don't want to spent so much money. I hope the redmi note 4 will be faster than the p9 lite that's s.ucks. every day need 2 times charge.. what about the note 4's battery consumption ???
Battery is super awesome...
Yep battery is absolute beast on RN4, main selling point.

I am using redmi note 4 and I can say one thing you would feel the power in your hand it's awesome taking about ram and performance it's a beast in that budget range. I don't have any kind of complaints regarding the performance and app switching works awesome it's pretty decent and battery life is insane . Camera sucks in low light in daily light its good. Sound quality is great and decent but I hate miui
Keep P9 Lite.

I have Redmi note 4, Maybe it has better hardware but very bad software so no point in the hardware when os is rubbish, i think keep your P9 lite because Huawei have better software support.

Xiaomi (redmi series) also have a big problem (its big for me) microphone is very very bad, example if u want to record some moment in concert the sound quality is rubbish its like u record with some phone from 2005, my nokia n9 that is 2011 video record sound is very very clear compared to redmi note 4 i also had redmi 3, had same problem, my GF have p9 lite and its amzing i did mistake that i not go for that phone

First, MIUI (xiaomi) sucks a lot, but EMUI (Huawei) sucks a lot lot lot more.
Second, they all runs under Android, so in software they are pretty the same.
And third, RN4 (at least international version) has a Snapdragon, P9 have a custom cpu (Kirin or something) so in 1 year, when with our RN4 whe can test the lastest Android 9, P9 Lite will cry for having Android 8.
No guys I bought the RN4 it's awesome, I had the RN3 few years ago but after RN3 I had a lot of phones like s6 edge s7 edge s6 mi max galaxy note 4 etc.. RN4 is good but the brightness is low and it's too heavy for me. For its money 150 euro it's a beast, I bought the p9 lite for 200 euro and sucks, the camera was little bit better, brithness and colours better, but small screen 5"2 and it was easier to keep on your hands.. and don't forget emui has better UI I think that the miui..
When the sun light is bright is so annoying because you can see on the phone .. RN4

They runs on Android.. and Samsung runs Android and try compare Miui with emui and TouchWiz...
I know its Snapdragon... And the android versions is really not important in a phone... There no difference in android 6 and 7 ... And there will be not big difference with 7 and 8 .. and maybe u dreaming that u will run android 9 or at least 8 u need be happy this device getting android 7...

I'm comparing the phone to the P9 Lite.
And comparing it to the P9 Lite, the RN4 is better in almost every points (cheaper, better battery, better performance, more ram, custom roms ...)
P9 Lite is maybe better a Photo /camera, but if this point is crucial to you, there a way better phones than this one (a motorola for example or a lenovo p2 ...)
I've already have a Huawei phone previously, so I know how Huawei manage their update.
And since its not a Snapdragon but a custom CPU, custom rom are merely inexistent, and development will stop one Huawei stop releasing their sources
Hey guys, new to all this so go easy on me. Over the past few years I have become a bit of a tech fanatic. I like to get a phone, use for a few months then sell on while it retains value. I'm March I got the S9 Plus coming from a Note 8 and from that coming from an S8 Plus. I love Samsung through heaven and earth but have become slightly bored with their design and UI. I have been strongly considering the Huawei P20 Pro and the OnePlus 6. Can I have your thoughts please? I have read/watch so many reviews on the P20 Pro and it's seems amazing the lag is the main issue as I do now want it. I don't game, I use a phone for emails, text, whatsapp, web browsing, Twitter, Instagram etc. ?
Why not ask in those forums? This is the Galaxy S9+ forums.

If you are bored of s9 plus UI then undoubtedly you would definitely get bored of Huwawei's EMUI(yup, has bit of lags as well) and Note 9 UI will be the same as S9 plus(with slightly added refinement of samsung experience) . So as per your question and requirement, you are left with OP6. OxyGenOS is a well thought - out one with some nifty features. The OTAs bring bug sometimes but overall its a, fast fluid experience without bells and whistles.

Except coming from an S9 plus the OP6 is missing some key features.
Sd card slot.
Ip68 rating
Wireless charging
Stereo speakers (although there is a mod for this).
Sure the device is cheaper and some may not care about those features but once you have grown accustomed to them very difficult to give up!
For example, me i dont really care about the IP68 rating but will not purchase any device without the other 3 listed.

True. Had the OP asked for a comparison I could go on and on including your points. But it seems he is bored of Samsung UI, design and trying to choose in bet^n P20 Pro and OnePlus 6. Also based on his additional requirements, I can assure that he would get a pleasant experience with the OP6.

Why won't you just install another launcher on the S9+? That should give you plenty of options to configure how the phone looks. Not all will change of course, but how many time do you spend in the phone's menu's
I had the Mate 10 Pro and P20, had issues with screen dimming on both phones on most all apps, great phones aside from the screen dimming. The screen would dim a couple of seconds after launching any app.
This bothered me to the point of switching to the S9 Plus, if you want a phone that works like its supposed to the S9 is it. Nothing beats the Samsung screens and design. It just works...
I had Mate10 non pro (now stolen, it was a fine Phone, but cam was not naturally for people.).
After them, my old Oneplus 3 (happy with Miui ROM),
then a Xiaomi MiA1 (boring stock Android), then MiMix2s (really good phone, but missing Netflix HD. For me Netflix HD is Import cuz i have 1:10h Train every day).
Now i got the S9+, this is the best package and also the best compromisse!
I've been also a true Samsung user for a long time and getting kinda tired of limitless samsung features and services that prevent the phone from being super snappy and eat up batterytime. Flashed Resurrection Remix ROM on the G-965F and it gave a complete different feeling i.e. near and dear to my liking but still not found a cam mod that works in portrait mode. Rooting, flashing ROMs and the like don't come without sacrifices.:cyclops:
Owning both G-965F and G-9650 models for months now and Pixel 3 XL/OnePlus 6T are in my wish-bucket list.
I had the P20 Pro and sold it mostly because I could get the S9+ for 400$ new. It has its fair share of quirks....It is noticeable laggier than the S9+ and the camera was not great when just trying to point and shoot. You could take great photos with it, but you had to fiddle with it every time to get the shot right.
The battery life is absolutely phenomenal though. The battery could easily last me 2 days. Huawei also has the same problem as Samsung though, and it is a big one for me, updating in a timely fashion.
I am waiting for the Oneplus 6t and Pixel 3 XL and will most likely be switching to one of those and giving the S9+ to my son when I do.
Hi, Im using RN4 for a year now and I think its time to change it. My budget is limited to Mi A2 price range, maybe I could squeeze in for Mi 8 lite even. Ive considered Redmi Note 5, 6 but they dont seem that much of an upgrade. Ive read Mi A2 forum and users are complaining about Pie update, some clicking sounds coming from phone etc. While others are perfectly happy with it. I also like Android One. While Mi 8 Lite seems really high quality phone but it comes with Miui which im not fan of and hardly has any roms available. What do you think I should do? Btw I want good camera, never liked the front camera on RN4.
I have my note 5 running pixel experience and it's working well. My gf has an old iPhone 6 and she needs an upgrade. Is it worth it to just get us both povos and flash PE on them?
As good as Pixel Experience is it's still early days for that ROM on the Poco. The stock MIUI ROM still runs better and faster than Pixel Experience (MIUI is no slouch and gets 300 thousand in Antutu where Pixel Experience is 50 thousand points slower) I would just buy the phone and wait if you really want Pixel Experience ROM

It shouldn't be long till they have official release and the stable PE should be at the same level. IMO AnTuTu scores aren't everything. Miui is too complicated for my gf and I don't want mi cloud or the spying.

The F2 is just going to be a refresh of a F1 but with a bigger screen and better cameras but still keep the same SOC. You are right Antutu scores are not everything but they are a good indication. You don't have to have Mi Cloud (I don't) and it really depends on where you are in the world or how much you believe Xiaomi are spying on you. All phones spy on you to some degree

If the phone is setup right then that shouldn't really bother anyone but it does for some reason.
I am pretty happy with PE in my poco. I came from Samsung J5 (2015) so i most be not that sensitive because I didn't notice any differences from miui for daily performance. The phone is bloody fast and responsive so I would say go for it for sure...

They promise too much with this phone and we are constantly told to wait for basic features. Let's just say we were promised dolby and qhd 60fps back in September still nothing.
Dolby soon
Netflix HD soon
Qhd 60 fps soon
1080p 60 fps soon
Best you wait for a version 2. Too many issues currently.
I wish I went for the oneplus 6 it's eis is perfect, not kidding it's 99% stabilizated you can see videos yourself VS this wobbly mess.
Currently there are 2 main problems on the custom roms, the EIS for Google camera doesn't work and once you watch a video in HDR your phone will be stuck in HDR mode until you restart it.

The PE rom I have on my RN5 whyred is official, why isn't the POCO PE rom official?

It is official.
For Netflix you can install a modded version and have HD...
For videos you can use ported MIUI camera.
I would say go for it, worst case scenario, you sell your phone later and buy the F2, best case scenario you will see people just like to complain, for its price its so good.
Happy costumer here...

PE rom for poco says "unofficial", lineage os 16 also is unofficial. In my whyred PE says official in title.
I just got pissed cuz poco came out like 3 weeks after I bought my redmi note 5, and I'd forsure have gotten it had it been out then.

Cool that's excellent man
I saw a great deal and pulled the trigger! Bought a POCO for 267$ off someone that kept if for a couple weeks. It's in perfect condition and bootloader unlocked. I flashed twrp and pixel experience?
Hi, wich one is better or have more performance. the S21+ or Mi 11?
I have one S21+ and i love it but didnt try the Mi 11
MIUI is a joke, just like once TouchWiz was, OneUI is slightly less of a joke.

I have been a xiaomi user for 3 years, Mi 9 and Mi 10. Xiaomi's MIUI is nice but after switching back to samsung (I had S7 edge before, now I'm on S21 exynos variant). I felt that OneUi is much better optimized and the updates are fast (Monthly Security Updates). As for gaming, SD's on my Xiaomi's still better and reliable. But since I have changed priorities I don't game anymore in my smartphones. Exynos 2100 is fast but hot also. Camera wise, samsung nailed it. Especially with the portraits and front camera outputs.
