Im looking for a new upgrade, from my old relic, honor 7 lite/honor 5c. its been getting slower, and more unresponisve the last couple of years, and im sick of everything freezing or crashing. I cant even stream anime online without any kind of freeze or lag. Sometimes it doesnt even want to turn off when i press the power button. Anyways, I got around 200-300$ of my xmas money to spend on it, but im not sure which phone is for me... I got a friend that got an xiaomi phone (its as big as a tablet almost xd) and he really likes xiaomi phones, AND all their other products, so im kinda interested at testing one of their phones. Ive had Samsung and sony phones before too, so i like to switch it up a bit and see what all the companies got to offer, so i think its time for xiaomi to show me what they got. Ive looked on these ones so far, and it seems like they fit into all of my needs: https://www.mi-store.se/sv/mobiltelefoner/redmi-note-8t/redmi-note-8t-64gb-starscape-blue https://www.mi-store.se/sv/mobiltelefoner/redmi-note-8-pro/redmi-note-8-pro-64-gb-mineral-grey they got Type c, good camera, Extremly big battery, good and big screen, android 9 etc. (I should also notice that i dont really care if they dont got no headphone jack as i mostly use bluetooth, but it would be a + if it did have one just in case). But im not sure if i should go with the cheaper 8t or spend like 20$ more on the 8 pro. From the research ive done, they are mostly the same, other than size (like 1nm or somethin), the pro is a little bit faster and got a 500mAh bigger battery, it also got a 64mp rear camera compared to the 8t which got a 48mp. Ive watched a bunch of reviews too, and mostly everyone seems to be in love with it, for the price its selling for. One thing i dont like, is the rear camera placement on the pro version. It feels like they would be in the way, and would be much more comfortable with them on the side, like on the 8t. NOTICE: These are on sale rn too, so i get 11% off. So if im going to buy one, should buy it now or wait and see if the price goes down even more? Which one should i go for, or do you got some other examples?

Hi, i was looking for air purifiers and i found my favorite one. It's Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier Pro. But i am little bit confused with purifying performance which is 5000m3/h. If I am counting right, it's 5000000 Liters per hour, which is about 1400 Liters per second. Seems little strange to me ? What am I missing here ?

im not sure is this the right topic, but should i buy the haylou gt1 or gt2, the only difference i see is the case, buttons, the noise reduction on the gt2, and the built in charger on the gt2. which should i buy according to you guys?

Hi there, In August I got my girlfriend a Xiaomi laptop for her work. Got it off of Kijiji and was working like a charm until the beginning of August. This was around the time we purchased a longer USB-C charging cable. After this point the laptop has began to have increasingly more difficulty staying powered on or even powering on to begin with. If the laptop is used while not plugged in it may shut off randomly and without notice, despite having battery life. It's beginning to get to the point where there is a need to keep it plugged in at all times, for fear of it turning off in a meeting or not saving documents. To be honest I dont even know where to begin to diagnose the issue. If it is battery, how do I go about checking that? Might it be a software thing? I know I can't call Xiaomi, especially since she threw away the box. Any advice at all is great appreciated!

I have an issue with my car DVD bluetooth and my mobile when it bluetooth connected with DVD there is a problem with songs I think that mobile bluetooth version is 5 and DVD bluetooth version is 4.2 What can I do ?

Today I bought my mi-band 4, but The problem is that currently, I don't have access to any android device but just my Laptop, I really want to try out my mi-band 4 but there are no emulators that support Bluetooth...Later I tried Installing Android x86 (8.1) in Virtualbox, Got the VM successfully running but then I tried to install the mi-fit app but the app for some heck of a reason is not compatible with my Android x86 VM, I even side-loaded its APK from apkhere.com but it always crashed when every I load the app. There got to be some way I can use my mi-band 4 with my PC, right?

I'm in the market for a new smartphone. I've narrowed my options down to two phones: the Xiaomi Mi 9T (NOT the pro model) and the Galaxy S9+. Which do you think I should get? I checked the LTE bands, and the 9T is sufficient for my area. The 9T is $289.99 on AliExpress (128gb) The S9+ is $279.99 refurbished on eBay (64gb) Also, if you think I should get something else, my budget is around $300 or $300 or less. My current phone is the Moto G5 Plus. The reason why I'm getting a new phone is because part of the screen is shattered, because I dropped it a week ago. I recognize that getting the glass replaced is cheaper, but my phone has other issues as well. There are white dots on the screen itself, due to water getting inside of it. Therefore, I thought getting a newer, better phone would be better than getting the screen and glass of my current phone replaced. I use my phone for web browsing, texting, calling, listening to music, and watching video. Therefore, a phone with a nice big screen would be nice. Also, I would like the phone to have a headphone jack, though I could live without it. Also, I will probably use this phone to record videos with the rear camera, because I want to start making videos for YouTube. As for the selfie camera, I rarely takes selfies, but I sometimes do video calls, so having a good selfie camera would be a bonus. I mainly use a fingerprint sensor for unlocking, but face unlock would be nice (if it was fast). I would like this phone to have a long battery life, at least for a full day of use. I don't really game on my phone, but I might stream games over the internet or on my local network from my PC. I intend to use this phone for at least a few years.

Hi guys, I just ordered the Mi Pad 4 LTE version. Does anyone know where I can download the global ROM + instructions to install it? Yes, I know that you can sideload the Play Store, but it doesn't work very well according to some forums I've read. If there is no global ROM available, what ROM do you recommend?

Hi! I'm buying a phone, i have been looking at LG V30, it seems like the best option, but i want to hear your guys suggestions. Other phones i looked at are pocophone F1, Galaxy A50, Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. But i cant really make the choice and i still look back to LG because of the IP68 and camera. But im all ears for your suggestions, i do not use my phone that much, i just want to hear ppl during calls, see them instagram posts and watch a youtube video before going to sleep. And good camera with waterproofing are big benefits to me.

Hi! So, I recently bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, and it supports quick charge 4.0, the thing is, can I use a Moto fast charger without damagin the battery? I had a moto g5 plus, and the Moto fast charger has three outputs, standard: 5v-1.6A, turbo1: 9v-1.6A and turbo2:12v-1.2A. The only difference is that Xiaomi's phone has USB type C, which forces me to swap cables. The original Xiaomi charger has a single output of 5v-2A, and the phone recognizes the fast charger when I plug it in. Using it normally, and with Xiaomi's type-c usb plugged in moto's fast charger, will damage my battery? I know fast charging degrades the battery "faster", but I want to be sure this doesnt damage the whole thing in months Thanks!

插上电源绿色指示灯常亮，按开机键没有反应。无法开机，断电拆开后盖拔掉电池长按/短按开机键很多次按上后盖插电开机依旧无法点亮。插电后依旧绿色指示灯常亮。 The green indicator light was on while plugged in the power supply but when I pushed the power button nothing happened. I can't boot up this laptop anymore. After I'd disconnected the power supply and removed the battery, I tried to press the power button many times. After that, I connected the power supply and it's still not turned on. The green indicator light was on after I connected the power supply 因为没有图纸无法测量哪里的问题 Because I don't have the blueprints of this laptop so I don't know what's going on. 型号:小米笔记本13.3 161301-01 Model: Xiaomi Laptop 13.3 161301-01

Xiaomi Mi Play : https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_play-9499.php Xiaomi Redmi Y3: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_y3-9674.php So, im in the market for a new phone and my only option is to buy one locally as we don't have services from sites like amazon. one of these seem to be my only option. I want help to pick the best one. Im guessing they are close in terms of performance, but i could be wrong. Would also like to know which rear primary camera is best out of these 2 phones.Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a smartphone but I can't decide: Mi8 lite with 6gb of ram and 128gb of storage for 225€ vs Redmi Note 7 with 4gb of ram and 128 of storage for 230€. Which option do you think is better? I've heard that Redmi Note 7 is better overall, but I don't know if that 2gb ram differencia would be noticeable for daily use (my main mobile use is not for gaming, is basically web browsing, job-related apps). Thanks in advance. PS: I know there are some better pricings for both models out there, I use just for reference. Also would like to hear about other options around 200-230 €

So recently I have been looking for a laptop for software development and obviosuly for some gaming. I came across lots of products but I really like the look of the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro it has a very powerfull cpu and a dedicated gpu for a very good price. Since i would like to try out some game development and some heavier gaming then my usual e-sports I would really like to have a somewhat gpu. When I came across the Gtx edition of the this laptop with the Gtx 1050 max-q I was very happy and felt like I finally made my choice. But when I saw some reviews I was told that the laptop overheats and the keyboard gets really hot, some people sayd the reviewer had a bad unit but i still dont know. So I would like to know if anyone has the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro Gtx edition, preferably the i7 model, and could comment out the temperatures they are getting or some other problem that I might not be aware of. (And yes I do know that it comes with the Windows in Chinese)

Soo I'm struggling to decide what phone is best for me. I use my phone mainly for watching YouTube send messages and to browse the Internet. And sometimes a little game. Soo I can get the xiaomi note 7 for 170 or the poco for 265. Won't the poco be overkill for me ? Will the note 7 be good for 3 years ? Help me decide please

Hey is there any way to disable all ads on my Xiaomi note 7? Thank you

I am currently on a travel to Asia and I were gonna buy a "Cherry Mobile Flare S7 Plus" which has a Helio P60, 3050mAh & wireless charging other bonuses it has a clean back with no brand logo and is not from a Chinese brand, tough these days that have changed a bunch tough. Now since many told me last time that I should grab a "Xiaomi Note 7 / 7 Pro" both having a SD660, I compared other brands and the best one seems to be from Realme which have the "Realme 3" with Helio P60 for cheaper than the Cherry Mobile and the nearly same price of the Cherry "Realme 3 Pro" has a SD710, both of these also has 4000mAh plus batteries and a headphone jack which Cherry lacks. My research shows that Realme is owned by BBK which also own Oppo, Vivo & Oneplus so a 710 to about 200eur sounds to good to be true! Is there a catch? ?

Hello there! I wanted to unlock the bootloader of my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (the global version, aka AI dual camera, the more confusing your naming scheme is, the better, right?). Not necessarily to flash a different ROM, but according to a tutorial I found, it is possible to enable Camera2 API, which is, for some reason, disabled on this device, despite being enabled on most other, often even cheaper devices. Doing so requires an unlocked bootloader. I've done everything according to this tutorial (https://c.mi.com/thread-1635834-1-1.html), up until the step where you connect the phone to your PC. Unfortunately, the program was unable to detect my phone. The tutorial says that if this happens, you need to install the USB driver. So I've done everything according to this other tutorial (https://c.mi.com/thread-1625831-1-0.html), again, up until the step where you connect the phone to your PC. However, computer management doesn't detect it either. There should be an Android device under the other devices tab, but for some reason, all it can see is an unknown device, which is probably my old webcam, for which I don't have a driver either. Updating its driver with the file I got from the Xiaomi website doesn't work, obviously (but I tried anyway, just in case). Also, the MI unlock app has a driver install feature, which apparently does nothing. When I try to use it, it prompts me to connect the device. If I connect it while it's on, it says something, but closes immediately, giving me no time to read it, so I've made a screenshot before it did. It asks you to switch your device to fastboot mode and then connect it to your PC, which makes sense since the tutorial on their website requires this as well. Unsurprisingly, doing so does nothing and the app is still unable to detect the phone. Seriously, as much as I like Xiaomi, F them for this! Any advice on how to make it work?

Hey there, so I've had my Poco F1 128GB for 7 months now. The screen was laggy sometimes but after few wipes it seems like it's okay. Anyways, I bought it for around 400$, now the prices have came down a little and also it has been used. So, my question is... Do you think, the lags might come back? (It didn't seem as an app problem and there were no updates in between.) Do you think, it's worth it to sell this (I expect for max 300$) and get a Mi9 in 128GB version? Any reasons not to change or to change to different phone? (Not an iPhone, please) Thanks. (Maybe there are too many questions, if yeah, sorry, I don't want to spam the forum.)

Best Custom Rom For The Poco F1? Has to have everything working without any weird issues, and if there are more roms like that, whats the closest to stock Android without bloatware (im guessing if its closest to stock its gonna be the snappiest too ) Also is it worth it? (Coming from an experienced custom rom'er XD, so dont worry i wont fck anything up)

Last week, Lei Jun, the CEO of Xiaomi announced the new individual brand of Xiaomi, In fact, it is just a separate opening of the Redmi department as a new brand. On that day, it also announced a new smartphone which focuses on Cheap and cost-effective mobile phone。It names Redmi Note7, it has Quantum Snapdragon 660 Processor, and 4000mAh battery life, USB-Type C, AND A HEADPHONE Jack, Support fast charging, Infrared remote control，At the same time, it also has Corning's fifth-generation gorilla glass.Rear 48 million + 5 million AI dual camera，1.6μm large pixel (four in one)*，PDAF phase focusing，F/1.8 aperture lens，All of them just started at 999RMB, which is 148 USD. It’s too worth it. And I hope linus can give us a review about it ☺ here's the website https://www.mi.com/redminote7/specs/

this will be my first review ever on this forum, and why not about the phone I've been using for about a month now? My beloved huawei p8 lite wasn't working properly anymore, so i needed a replacement, and i had some money for it. so i wanted something high end, and came out after a discussion here on the forum to get myself a xiaomi mi8 in white. I'll be listing my positive, neutral and negative feedback here, based on my own use, no reviews or anything, just my own experience. Unboxing: the unboxing starts with a couple items: Quickcharge 3 charger type c to 3.5 inch headphone jack the phone (duh) a case manual Screen: the screen is a beautiful OLED display, which I enjoyed really well because it's my first one, the blacks are black, the whites are whites and everything looks what I would like to see. The little problem with it is that it is a bit of a weird resolution. It's a 18,7:9 screen, which makes some content have black bars or not being fully visible, I know this is the case with any 18+:9 screen, but I wanted to adress it. Sound: the sound is nothing special. the speaker is loud, but only buttom firing and as on many phones low quality. They are loud enough to frustrate my little brother, but just of a quality I would rather get my headphones to watch a video... if I could at least. my dongle broke after a week of use because i bent it, so I have to borrow my mothers bluetooth headset. Security: the security of the phone is in android 9 really nice. You can use face unlock or fingerprint, and you don't really have to wait around for it to unlock, because there's no swiping or pressing required. The only problem with the fingerprint is that it can react when your hand is in your pocket, but that's about it Android: MIUI is something you either like or you don't, just like with EMUI. I personally love them both as I don't need the perfect stock experience, and they work around the same from my expierence. They have done a great work on it, but the only thing I would want to change is the bloatware that comes with it. You get mi cloud and some other Xiaomi apps that I won't be using any time soon, as I have my own solutions for it already, and if possible I would have deleted them. I had some small problems with updating to android 9, because I had to manually press update, which is as far as I know uncommon. One thing that did annoys me should be menioned, it sounds like a little thing, but it has been pretty frustrating. when I hold my phone in landscape and I want to paste something into chrome (a website for example) I get the paste button on the spot where the back button is. You can alternatively download the Poco launcher in the play store, it's a lot cleaner. Design/ports: The mi8 looks great with both a front and back glass panel, with my model being in white. It feels really nice, but I recommend using a case, as the camera module is sticking out a bit. The case that came with it is minimal for what it is, but it's fine for my own use. All the ports that can be found is a type C 2.0 for up to Qualcomm Quickcharge 4, and can be used for sound too of course. Camera: I see a big difference here. The pictures are or really good, or just straight up blurry in the wrong hands. The phone uses Ai to make the photo optimal for the usecase, and gets it mostly right there, but I've seen other people trying to make good pictures with it, but failing with it. But that also happened with my Nikon, so it might just be them... The double lenses on both sides make for a great experience for me, but it's still not up to the level of a good camera. Speed: oh boy, let's get started here. Snapdragon 845 is one heck of a fast chip, it came out at 99th percentile in 3dmark slingshot extreme, and 39th of the world. my own performed better than most ones, and fully outperformed the Iphone X in opengl (benchmarks shown below), weirdly enough it seems to struggle in Vulcan, with a way lower score on it. The geekbench scores are a bit lower, but still pretty good. Conclusion: + great screen + hella fast + great camera + facial recognition but still a fingerprint sensor + for me a great ui + everything in the box + quickcharge 4.0 - ui not for everyone - some kind of weird aspect ratio - no headphone jack - single buttom firing speaker - weak headphone dongle benchmarks or other tests can be added on request

Hi guys, After the last update on my RN5 i have a small problem but it's annoying. If there's someone with a RN5 you may know that if we drag from the top of the screen we can see used mobile data "Today:..." and "This month..." or others instead if the second one. Now, my problem is that after the last update it stopped showing me the "This month:..." (used mobile data), now it shows only "Plan exceeded:..." and I tried to fix it but I can't. Can someone help me fix this ?
