I don't love any phones lol I like the mi mix 2 but prefer the original mi mix. More screen and overall a better phone in my own opinion. Yes the camera is better, yes there are other bits that's better but the sound volume is way to low through the headphones and overall the sound quality is pants anyway. Luckily I've made this mi mix 2 better by rooting it and installing viper as a fix to the poor low quality sound.
For me to buy the mix 3 if it ever comes out it must have some vast improvements over the mix 2.
Conclusion would I buy this phone again? No I'd buy the Mix "again" and wait for 3 to launch.
Maybe you should think about buying a
headset with aptx support
I buy phones all the time. Currently have a mate 9, honor note 8, s8 plus and mi mix2. Just thought the 2 would be a better phone. It'll be up for sale soon anyways to make way for the s9 ?
by far the worst piece of **** i have ever bought with Mi Mix 1, always software issue and their ****ty MIUI, with fcking stupid bootloader. OnePlus is far far better !

But the decision was yours. Perhaps you should have thought a bit more of IT before buying it.
OK, so i've had this phone a week now, i came from a galaxy s6.
The quality is fantastic for the money, I received the euro version that had english text on the message as you open the box and no problems setting it up.
Weird that people say they have issues with the software, i haven't has a single issue with any apps i used on the S6, banking, email, browsing, games etc. Even Android Auto works exactly as it did previously, which i was surprised about because i heard that there were issues with it not working and was prepared to have to flash to phone to have that work. Not has a single FC.
MIUI is totally fine as a version of android in my opinion, I'm now thinking of sticking with it instead of flashing, which i thought i'd never say tbh. Maybe when lineage oreo is in a close to perfect state then i'll probably move over because i do like stock more, but miui is fine for now.
Battery life has been great, i've had around 1.5 days battery life of normal use, browsing, total of say 30 mins youtube in the daytime, a bit of twitch at lunchtime and general couch browsing/email at night.
Great phone for the money like i said. The single thing i have come across is a weird one, and a non issue really, but when i have the speech audio from android auto such as reading texts or reading out directions, the quality seems like its a low bit rate, where as the s6 was very clear, like listening to a 96k mp3 compared to a 320k mp3.
mi mix 2 is clearly a game phone. It has no ir blaster, no FM radio built in, no audio jack, bad cameras, bad quality sound, crap os(miui). It's a pretty looking device with a powerful chipset though.

Basically you pay 400€ for sd835 6gb ram and design, which is not cheap at all, since the price is close to galaxy S8.

I love my Mix2. It's not perfect but in terms of value for money and looks it's unbeatable. Sell yours and buy something else but remember that no phone is perfect.

400 is cheap especially considering a top range phone will cost u around 700+ and those ones will have much more features.
I paid for mine, brand new sealed 332 € from AliExpress with topcashback. I don't think I can buy a new S8 brand new and sealed for that money. I had before S8 and Mate 10 Pro. I can say I'm more than satisfied what device gives for the value. Earpiece are same like on S8 and Mate 10 Pro. Main speaker is better on Mate 10 Pro when you turn it on landscape. But those chopines/stutter, what I had on S8 and sometimes on Mate, I can't see it on Mi MIX 2.
I'm surprised about the negative feedback about this phone.
I personally am quite touched by it's bang for the buck ratio, but I also enjoy my original Mix, so maybe I'm just biased towards the Mix series?
Back when headphone jacks started disappearing on these devices I was pissed, as I had a pretty decent pair of headphones that would soon be obsolete but ever since I moved onto my Siberia 840 headset I more or less phased out wired audio entirely, making it less of an issue for me.
At this point I consider wired headphones a retro commodity, such as VHS or DVD players.
Great Phone
I only can say the Phone is amazing. I pay 360€ here in Germany, screen is First Classic,Sound ist good, Speed very good. I Love it.

Tempted by this phone. Currently have a OnePlus 5t, but love Xiaomi phones and MIUI. Not sure whether to jump on this or hold out for a Mi 8 SE.

I also used to own a 5T and just sold it for a Xiaomi mi mix 2s.
As someone who LOVES stock android, Oxygen OS will always be my favorite mobile OS. After owning 3 different OnePlus Devices, it was hard to go for a Xiaomi....
But the Mi mix 2s has been an AWESOME device so far. Battery life is on par with my 5t. The screen is incredible , the no bezel design is beautiful and I think it is best done on the Mi mix 2s. ( I hate notches). Although it is not amoled, the screen is very good and it works great. MIUI is not as snappy as Oxygen OS, but its still light years ahead of touchwiz and Crapsung experience.
I personally really like wireless charging, and its nice to have it on the Mi Mix 2s. The phone design is my all time favorite. I love the weight of the ceramic and It is hands down the best looking device I have ever seen. However not having a headphone jack is absolute ****.....Dont get me started on that.
The back 2 cameras are stellar and its the main reason I went with the Mi Mix 2s.... As someone who rarely uses the front camera, the quality is really good for a 5mp shooter, but if you are someone who uses it a lot, this phone might not be for you....
Overall, if you can find it for $500usd or less, I think this is the best phone for the price on the market. :good:
I just wondered about something that i saw in xiaomi's forum,i wrote a poat and i was rly angry of this bug collection that i bought(mix2s) and 1 answer just came and said we didnt launch mi mix2s in india and we cant help you????
im not indian, i was just set the region th india th get updates and im from iran!!!!
the phone have just 1 thing, the camera and every thing else about it is disappointing.
i wish i had bought a samsung like always but i wanted to try some thing new, and i made my worst choice in my life.
sometimes when u unlock the phone its take about 5 6 7 secs to load when switch between spaces it will kill u buy laaaags and delay
im really tired if this **** in my hands ????
and i will not ever never post anything on xiaomi forums.

down grade then to a previous one

If only the bezzel (with the front camera) would be on top, it would be a great phone.
I usually give goog things for granted so focusing on the bad:
bottom selfie camera
shiny-way-too-slippery ceramic back (would love a mate version)
no widevine L1 support
no microSD
no 3.5 jack
About the last two dont care so much since i have bluetooth earphones and got an OTG flashdrive (couldnt get the 128 GB version cause out of stock).
ceramic and widevine are not so bad but the selfie camera just kills it. Is such a hazzle to use. if you use it as is you get a massive neck/chin resulting in an awful perspective, and if you rotate the phone say bye to fingerprint shutter and forget whatsapp video call.
Just as someone said before, like it, yeah, love it, NOPE

Yep, I needed to to that several times before to be connected before discovered that this was broken in early 2019 ROMs.
Phone with regular OTA updates and stable official ROM is just unusable, that forced me to unlock and flash. It's shame to brake main functionality of device :/ You can't expect from users to force them to flash phone. You should not force them to use old ROM to make or receive call.
I replaced my old phone to get decent camera, speed and B20 connectivity, but was sure to still have basic gsm, bt and wifi fuctionalities. Yep, cam was not broken
For $300 brand new I have no complaints. Was looking for a notch less phone with a decent camera and good battery life, this phone hits the spot. I rarely take selfie so I don't mind with its front camera. Oh and it has snapdragon 845 chip.
help me anyone mix 2s user
my phone is brick with lockbootloader i tried to flash via miflash (point test) but unlucky have no authorized account someone please help to fix my mix 2s >.<:angel::crying::crying:
I'm very happy with this phone. I bought it new two months ago at a very good price (128gb version), and I'm using it with Nova Launcher and all the Google apps I can manage to install on it instead of the Xiaomi ones (I don't like them). I have no complains so far: no lag, good amount of RAM to keep my apps working in the background, nice screen (right now I still prefer a good IPS versus any Amoled), nice cameras.
And for the odd placement of the selfie camera, I just have installed a little app called 'Rotation' and with a touch in a widget, it forces full rotation so I can turn the phone it to put the camera in the upper, and all will rotate accordingly (android himself, and all the apps). If anything, the selfie camera himself could be better (more angle and better resolution, like the Mi 8 one).
I purchase Mi9se, I use for 2 months and I return it to amazon, because the screen lag...
I write fast and every time the phone just do nothing...
I remember the POCO, I use like a week and I return it....
With mi9se almost have the same issue... Is not software is the screen...
So, I buy this Mix 2s, the only think I don't like is the weight but I understand it...
The poco was 180g, the Mi9se 155g and my old Mi5 127g , Mix2s 190g is heavy but with the weight the you will have to take care more your phone every time...
I don't like Notch, I prefer water drop or nothing..
I like a phone the size of your hand not more.... Like the new phones, are very BIG..
Is like to have to DICKS °lol sorry
Its been 3 days with my Mix2s and I feel fine
I obviously liked it better Mi9se(6gb/64gb) $ 350USD less weight and better cameras, AMOLED...
But I don't care, for the price I pay is fine... 6gb/128gb - $ 312 USD mexico

Hello everyone,
so my question is what phone to choose?
Each one of them are great phones and I can't decide which one to choose.
Maybe someone will help me to choose?
Mi Mix 3 seems nice. I think id rather have the oneplus software. Also I wasn't always a fan of the notch but id rather have a notch than a mechanical sliding mechanism for a camera and ear piece. So for me the choice was easy. Oneplus.

Yeah, OnePlus' software also speaks to me. I am already acknowledged with it so I know what can I count on. Smaller battery (3200 mAh) on MIX 3 doesn't encourage me to buy it too but this notchless screen just makes me think twice before choosing which one is better. Wireless charging is a nice addition too - unfortunately 6T doesn't support it :/
Man it's really difficult for me to choose "better" one

Personally, I would rather have ceramic than glass. Notch is history. Technology is still developing, but the slider technology has been around since the days of the Samsung/Tmobile Sidekick. This has been a tried and sucessful technology, so there isn't a lot to worry about when it comes to failure. All phones have their drawbacks.

So, not everyone uses Verizon. In fact, most of the world doesn't use CDMA, but rather GSM.
if i'm not mistaken the mi mix 3 has a very good dxomark score which is the only reason i would consider it. of course i'd consider the mate 20 pro as well but can't afford a $1200 phone
I only worry because of the battery size on MIX3 do you think that 3200 mah is sufficient?
I actually like the slider camera on the mi mix 3. I'm only considering the op6t because it seems more busy here equals better development.
Battery has never been a problem for me on any device since froyo and gingerbread.
I'm going for the OnePlus 6T because I like the small notch, 3700 mah battery and the OxygenOS Software.
I'll keep it for 3 years and at that point will definitely consider Xiaomi Mi Mix 6 Vs OnePlus 9T

Mi Mix 3 already has great developers lined up so rom support won't be an issue.
The battery is a bit off putting. Many of us here are reporting 7+ hours of SoT with the 6T. I heavily doubt you'll be able to get similar results with the Mi Mix 3 considering its battery capacity.
If anything, the Huawei Honor Magic 2 looks more appealing. In screen fingerprint scanner, wide angled lens, bezel-less screen, 3500 mAh.. if that phone had the same dev support as the 6T, I think it'd be a serious contender for us.
I had the same questions
Mi Mix3:
- no notch
- better camera results
- sexy af
OP6T
- in display fingerprint reader (this is what finaly made my decision)
- water resistance
- will be supported for years
- easy root with warranty
- bought from amazon, so in case of warranty issues this is not an issue
- bigger battery

DEV support will be a problem and so will root. With locked bootloader your are at the mercy of honor for updates.

Hi everybody,
what do you think is this a real upgrade ?
I'm about buying a OP 7T Pro on eBay, read a lot of threads about WLAN and Bluetooth probs. ....
So wondering if this device is as good as everybody says?

I didn't experience any WLAN and Bluetooth problems, but since you are probably referring to the T-Mobile, I can't answer to that, as I have the Chinese non-5G variant of the 7T Pro McLaren Edition.
About whether buying it or not, I would suggest that you might want to wait for the OnePlus 8 (and 8 Pro) release so that you can get your hands on the latest Snapdragon SoC, along with that long-anticipated stunning 1440p 120Hz screens from Samsung (which are yet to be confirmed if they are compatible of displaying at 1440p and 120Hz at the same time without ditching one another) hardware accelerated real-time motion interpolation for watching videos, so that every youtube videos you watch can be upscaled to 120Hz for ultra smoothness). For now, search up for reviews about Samsung's S20 series. I believe the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro would be quite similar to Samsung S20 and S20+ respectively, except for having lower price tags (of course), better front camera (since Samsung nerfed the S20 and S20+ front camera, so that more people may buy the S20 Ultra), considerably worst camera software (which can be solved by installing ported Gcam), and that OnePlus exclusive motion interpolation technology (which they called MEMC for some reason). The wait may not be long, so I just don't want you to regret about your buying option.
@Kevorex1
thanks for reply ??? sure you are right and happy to hear that you have no problems ???
Maybe the price drops when the OP8 appears, so that I can buy a McLaren Edition at a lower price. The price on eBay is to high for now!!!
I'd go ahead and get the OP7T Pro. I may be bias since I'm considered a OnePlus fanboy. But honestly, I love OxygenOS and think you get a ton for your money.
Don't get me wrong, ROG phones are sick. I haven't owned one, just played around with them, so I guess I don't have the full perspective. But OnePlus has always been considered very good by many, and they retain their value pretty well. I almost kept my OP3 for a fourth year and probably could've pulled it off since the dev community is strong for it (despite the hiccups with carrier issues). But if you're willing to play around with it a bit, I think it's well worth your while.

It's your call if you want to wait for the 8/8pro personally I went for the 7t pro McLaren instead of holding off for the new ones because of leaks are to be believed it's going to have a hole punch display and I'm honestly not a fan of it I can live with a half a generation old SOC and it's already a massive step up from my 6T I had previously.

I'm still baffled that OnePlus would go with the hole punch rather than full display. I know Samsung resonates well with a lot of consumers, and maybe they're trying to go for that same look I just think they are pandering a bit unfortunately.

Nope they go off the design of the previous oppo phone that released if I'm not mistaken as oppo and OnePlus are subsidiaries of a bigger company (BBK electronics?) If I'm also not mistaken the base for the 7pro and 7T pro is the Oppo (edit: a mix of the vivo nex s and find x my apologies) and OnePlus just went with that. It's also been theorized why they ditched the headphone jack on the 6T because it was based off an Oppo phone that had also ditched the headphone jack. If I had to guess the Oppo Reno 3 might be the base design for the 8 and 8pro and OnePlus will work with that.

I guess that makes sense. Considering OnePlus. I forgot that Oppo make it possible for OnePlus to have less expensive devices by using existing chassis and designs. Still... Kinda frustrating. But I guess there's only so much you can do when Oppo copies other companies' designs. But you're right. Can't blame OnePlus for that.

Pretty sure most 2020 flagship designs are being influenced by Qualcomm's decision to not integrate the modem in the SD865 and basically force 5G since the X55 is the only compatible external modem (even if you only want 4G). Means a ton of extra space needed for 5G antennae and modem (that most people won't use) so you don't have space for a mechanical pop up camera, and increased battery usage. Which is why I got the 7T pro instead of any 2020 phone. And yes BBK electronics owns multiple Chinese companies that share resources, so the phones often look pretty similar. All the same supply chain and components. Very few companies can actually make phones in other ways, like the Purism Librem 5.
I'm still considering returning the 7T Pro and using my old 3T. The curved edges are really annoying.

I'm not a huge fan of the curved glass either. But I love every other aspect of my phone. I'd traded my OP3 in for the 6T at T-Mobile since they had a super deal going for it at the time. And from there, I became a sucker for the 7 Pro and then 7T Pro ??
Hello!
I've had my Oneplus One since forever now, though it's still reliable and it still functional, I think it's time to plan on getting a new phone when it eventually goes to smartphone heaven or if I need a more modern hardware for my needs.
Oneplus One is fairly quite popular and still gets support from LineageOS(official and unofficial nightlies). A lot of people still use this phone.
My question is what other phones has the same kind of support? Or let me rephrase my question, What other phone or phones do you think will generate this type of long lasting support just like the Oneplus One?
I'm looking at those budget friendly phones from Umidigi and Xiaomi. Do you think they'll have the same long lasting support as the Oneplus One?
Thanks!
I also had a oneplus one since the first invite system. I went with mi 9t pro. Its like oneplus one at the time but without any compromise. No overheating, great camera and excellent battery life.

I was on the same boat. Just few months back i changed to OnePlus 7T and i feel the phone is good.
Camera performance is not upto the mark. It's ok.
Software wise it's good. Design and in-hand feel is just not bad. Nothing special.
I was planning to get the Samsung s10plus which was my number 1 in the list. My friend was using it and i had too used it for few weeks and decided to buy it. But last minute mind changed and i got OnePlus 7T. Samsung s10plus is better in every way.
Software support - i cannot confirm that newer OnePlus devices will get support like OnePlus one.

I also had a oneplus one since the first invite system. I went with mi 9t pro. Its like oneplus one at the time but without any compromise. No overheating, great camera and excellent battery life.

I've got the same response from Reddit, I guess it's good. My brother has the Mi 9T Pro and I haven't tinkered with it yet. But I'm looking at the K20 pro, 12GB/512GB version. The Mi 9T that's being sold here is just 12Gb/256GB.

I was on the same boat. Just few months back i changed to OnePlus 7T and i feel the phone is good.
Camera performance is not upto the mark. It's ok.
Software wise it's good. Design and in-hand feel is just not bad. Nothing special.
I was planning to get the Samsung s10plus which was my number 1 in the list. My friend was using it and i had too used it for few weeks and decided to buy it. But last minute mind changed and i got OnePlus 7T. Samsung s10plus is better in every way.

My current issue with Oneplus is their phones are hella expensive now unlike before. Plus I hate notches. lol
I would buy redmi k30 instead of k20 premium. Price would be the same. K30 zoom edition advantages are 5G, gpu driver updates, better camera because of OIS, etc.

True that!
Too expensive for what it offers. Also in india Mi and Redmi phones comes with ugly ads(semi nude or inappropriate) So make sure if that isn't a issue for you.

Ads??? What ads?
Anyway, the Mi and Redmi phones that's being sold here doesn't have ads. My bro has the Mi 9T Pro and it doesn't have ads. Unless you're talking about ads from apps, is that the ads you're talking about?

Not the ads from apps. The system itself pushes ads.

The Pixel 4A is looking like it might replace my OPO (currently still a daily driver)
Hi, I've been using OpO from the launchment to 9 months ago. I decided to change it for the Mi9T Pro.
And after 7 months with Custom AOSP ROM installed I can say it was totally worthy for the price I paid at this moment and remove the MIUI system. It's like the Oneplus One but better but without been Oneplus
I am still using the oneplus one will never change

Im using it too, but as webcam and Aux mini monitor.
There're phone for 200€ that nowadays are better than the Oneplus One. That's why I switch. The mi9T Pro is one example, it cost me 322€ with taxes in Spain.
I have power and volume button broken, the only way to use opo is now without backcover, with battery exposed. Any advice?? I'm using as home-device, so not a big problem but...

I have p30 pro as primary phone... Want to keep Opo as home-use
I had 1+One since the premiere. All these years it was my main device, now it's time for a change. I bought 1+8Pro.
Still using my opo with Android 10 in it.. works just flowless as when i brought it back when it got launched.. was having battery issues which is gone now after battery replacement.. still cant find a better options for opo..
i bought the opo from USA by invite and got it to india, after using that, i upgraded to oneplus 3, and now i have upgraded after many years to k20 pro, and i have changed the os to AOSPA extended on the day i got it and i am having a beautiful notch-less phone with pure android experience on top, also all banking and other apps are working quite well.

I certainly wouldn't say it works flawlessly these days... Since lineageOS 16 (Pie) the GPS has become very unreliable for some reason. On android 10 any app that uses location or maps API crashes immediately. Sad to say its a major deal breaker for me, I drive every day and have always relied on GPS navigation as a crucial function of my phone. I've been forced to move on to a Pixel 2 XL, but will be keeping my eye on development for this phone. It's unfortunate to see the GPS in such a sad state.
GPS had received some overhaul (apparently resulting in temporary breakage) in the past weeks. @ThunderThighs do you still see the issue with more recent builds?
