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.

Hi,
Thinking of getting either of these phones which would better? Thanks
Brand new xiaomi redmi note 3 Snapdragon version or Used Samsung Note 4 Snapdragon/exynos version
Without any doubt, go for RN3 Pro. With SD650 it's a beast. Also, as far as I know, there wouldn't be any official OTA updates from Samsung for Note 4. While Xiaomi will keep updating RN3 with latest MIUI for atleast 3 more years! So, your choice. What would you want - an abandoned Galaxy phone or a furure proof RN3. Not to mention the great development RN3 is having.
Depends on what you are looking for.
Samsung Note 4 has the slightly larger screen with more vivid colours, better cellular signal, replaceable battery, much better camera, S-Pen, and better overall GPU performance (for now, I don't know if Vulkan with the Adreno 510 will change that). It's pretty much stuck at Marshmallow and not even sure if it is getting security updates anymore as that is left to the carriers and most seem to have stopped doing that (in Canada at least).
Redmi has larger battery, better CPU performance, better fingerprint reader.
redmi better gpu !
So gaming performance redmi better?

How's the redmi vs Note 4 Exynos version?
Xiaomi MI series vs. Xiaomi REDMI series = which line is better?
Everybody knows that Mi series goal is to be better than Redmi at least in specs and performance.
But how about performance to price ratio, how about all other things that You dont worry and dont expect in REDMI casue it's cheap but You do expect it in the MI series?
What are the problems/things that You don't like in MI series?
What are the problems/things that You don't like in REDMI series if there is any? WHY? Cause we all know not to expect wonders for a low budget priced phones.
I've talked to many people who had/have REDMI and MI series Xiaomi phones (clients, selllers, internet folks, friends) and they only agree on ONE thing -the price is great wheter it is REMI or MI phone.
A strange thing happens.... REDMI owners are always satisfied. The only thing that bothers not all of them is the camera quality.
But in low and middle price segment REDMI beats EVERY other BRAND.
Xiaomi has also great prices in the high end flagship models but here MANY PEOPLE are dissapointed.
For example camera quality, screen quiality, body, bezel, bugs, no NFC, no european B20 LTE band.
The MI users also tell me that non of the above bothers them but something totaly different. EACH person = an original problem with MI device.
Can You please tell me what are Your problems/dislikes with MI and REDMI devices cause I'm about to buy one from each segment?
What should I worry about (Android updates maybe?) buying a REDMI and a MI phone IN YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIANCE?
The biggest difference besides hardware is updates. Redmi devices usually only get one major update for example the note 4x was released with 6.0 and then got 7.0 but will never officially see anything higher. Although I don't find that a big issue because MIUI rom gets security updates and features from higher android version added. Also most devices get updated MIUI versions for example note 4x released with MIUI 8 then got 9 and now 10 is slowly becoming available. Also wifi hardware is subpar on redmi devices. Again I will use the note 4x for example. It does not have 802.11ac and using 802.11n you are capped at 150MB/s and 2.4 ghz band doesn't do 2 channel bonding unless you have root and edit the proper files.
Camera quality I can't really say much about. I am not a big picture taker and what I do take seems fine.
If you are concerned about radio bands then there really is only one choice. The MI Mix has pretty much every band you could ever want.

So REDMI get less Android uprades than MI series.
The LTE bands are slowly beginning to be a no issue as more and more devices get the whole Global LTE bands.
Redmi's or hongmi's are the low to mid-range smartphones and the MI's are the mid to high-range smartphones and flagships..
So go with the Mi's but phones like the Redmi 5 Plus, Redmi Note 5 Pro, the New Redmi 6 series and the old Redmi Note 4(Qualcomm) arent bad either.
Phones you got to avoid are the Redmi Y2/S2 due to terrible software decisions(it runs a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit CPU! like the old Redmi 2 series) and if you wanna develop for a device, avoid the Redmi Note 3(Qualcomm) due to the community being a little meh.

I've heard the exact same thing form a reliable source so it must be true what you're telling me about MI and REDMI in general.
Redmi Y2/S2 terrible software(?! software!?) specs is new to me.
It is disturbing tho causue Redmi S2 is a good phone on paper (perfANDstuff/price ratio) yet You tell me to watch out. This is bad.
Also Redmi Note 5 has probably (heard rumors) some issues, the most recurring one is with the camera mode - unfortunatly one user delivered the XDA community an info stating that it might not be a soft issue but a hardware issue (same error happens on stock and on custom rom).

It is new but due its software being 32-bit, you are not using it in full potential
Still you can build 64-bit LineageOS or port 64-bit MIUI from Redmi 6 Pro

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.

I have the The mi 8 pro (in UK) and can confirm that the camera is nowhere near as good as the Samsung.

I used s8 plus and mi 8 camera side by side and mi 8 camera so better than s8 in Photo .
I can't decide which phone to choose. I've never used ColorOS and i've never used HD screen. My previous phone was Redmi Note 4X (Snapdragon)

A major factor when I was thinking about the same was the OS.
I had used MIUI, Stock OS and ColorOS, all three have their pros and cons.
But I knew no matter what I will pick Android One device as I like the clutter-free and clean UI.
Surely Realme 5 Pro and Mi A3 4/64 are of the same price where Realme 5 Pro gives better performance but you need to think of your Priorities.
I picked Mi A3 because:
Android One (MAJOR FACTOR)
One Hand Phone
Lighter weight
If any of the above isn't your top picks go for Realme 5 Pro.
How's ColorOS compared to MIUI/EMUI and stock Android? Realme phones aren't available in my country, so can't check them in person.
Redmi 5 pro: better processor, 400ppi screen vs 280ppi, bigger screen without being that much heavier. I've compared the A3 with a 6.4" screen and that bit of extra real estate does make the other phone feel a lot bigger
A3: OLED screen and stock Android. Of course you may not necessarily like the OLED screen because of over saturated colors, lower brightness. And maybe color os has features you like the stock Android doesn't.

I'm not familiar with ColorOS but the MIUI on my Redmi Note 4X was great even in beta versions. Nice OS for multitasking and I think that pure google OS on MI A3 is even better. I have bad experience with buggy crappy software on Blackview, Leagoo devices and i'm afraid ColorOS will be the same.

Snapdragon 712 and much better full hd display, macro vs 665 and HD+ Amoled, 32mp samsung front camera and IR blaster.
ColorOS vs Pure Stock Android
I don't even know. If the ColorOS software and custom rom development is bad, i don't think that good hardware can help.
I am looking for an all-rounder phone. But poco f3 camera isn't good enough. So i was thinking about buying mi 10 since it's price came down. Mi 10 has much better camera and i guess all the other aspects are comparable ( i don't care about wireless charging). I want to use my phone for at least 3 years. For this i need proper custom rom and gcam support. What do you guys think? Which phone should I go for?

The Mi 10 is over a year old so more stable custom roms, a more powerful battery and a better camera, more ram,
more features.
The Poco F3 is 3/4 months old so the Roms are still in development.
For what you want the Mi 10 is suitable,but not the same price.
