          • Fabio08 on 04/04/2020 - 13:00

            @[Deactivated]: Yeah I get it, I just feel like wireless for most is a nice thing to have, whereas NFC is a must. I went from a Galaxy Note 9 to a Pocophone to a Mi 9T and the only think I missed on the Pocophone was NFC.

            • MattL600 on 09/04/2020 - 09:08

              @Fabio08: so you went from the note 9, a flagship to the pocophone a flagship killer thay was from the same generation? you know that flagship killers are for people who cant afford flagships right

              • Fabio08 on 09/04/2020 - 10:13

                @MattL600: Yes, but I love testing technology. I hated the Samunsung interface, the gestures and Bixby so I sold it and went back to Xiaomi. Loved the Pocophone but didn't like the notch and missed having NFC. My 9T seems to tick all the boxes.

                I can afford to buy one but choose not to. Got better things to spend my money on than an overpriced flagship phone.

                The Mi 9T is what I bought as well.

  • aussieprepper on 03/04/2020 - 23:11

    Price to performance is good on this phone.
    I think the Mediatek chip in the note 8 pro performs better or around as good as the 730G. This phone has a similar camera setup with 4 cameras as does the Note 8 pro. plus the Note 8 pro is cheaper making it the better buy?. I think the Note 9s will win in battery life seeing as the 720G is a 8nm part.

    • scottySK on 03/04/2020 - 23:14

      I got the note 8 pro for $250.. can't even compare

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/04/2020 - 23:16
      +6

      I believe in benchmarks and tests the difference between the MediaTek and 720G were marginal. Snapdragon have the benefit of custom ROM support and improved power efficiency.

      • aussieprepper on 03/04/2020 - 23:31

        Only major thing would be updates now the 9 series is out how long will Xiaomi support the 8 series?. My Mix mix 3 5g is still on android 9.

        They have a working Gcam for the Note 8 pro plus custom roms.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/04/2020 - 23:35

          The normal Mi Mix 3 only had its Android 10 / MIUI 11 update out of beta about 3 weeks ago. We can only hope the 5G gets the same treatment.

          I looked it up and it seems Xiaomi released the kernal source for the MediaTek models. That usually doesn't happen - hence the lack of Custom ROMs.

        • stephendt on 04/04/2020 - 11:43

          Mi Mix 3 5G was a weird outlier. For some reason Xiaomi have dropped it like a hot potato.

        • Kikkoman56 on 04/04/2020 - 21:42

          I'd say they have custom roms with an asterisk, yes they work but there's a fair few bugs they still have to work through and NFC isn't working on any of them. They've had the sources released very early on but the issue they've been having is that there's no way to unbrick phones in the event of a programming mishap without some Xiaomi Developer account…

          Ditto with the Gcam, it's working but it's had a fairly buggy history and it's not working flawlessly like with most Qualcomm devices which is to be expected seeing as they're geared to work with Spectra ISP's.

          It's the main reason I haven't bought one sadly, since the G90T looks to be a good performer especially for the price.

          • aussieprepper on 04/04/2020 - 23:42

            @Kikkoman56: I can't find a Gcam that fully works with my Mi Mix 3 5G either i have tried a few.

    • TravHall on 04/04/2020 - 05:47

      I'm with you.. I have a Mi Max 2 and now using a Mi Max 3..
      Great phones, great screens, just need some decent Android 10 custom ROMs for the MM3 and I'll hold out for the next big screen Xiaomi (at a decent price).

      The black shark 3 Pro 7.1" screen would be awesome, not so the price.

  • Rolling245 on 03/04/2020 - 23:41

    Almost perfect, but no NFC.

    Xiaomi has a problem with their confusing product lineup. Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro which is at least $100 more expensive is almost an identical phone. It is interesting to see Oppo (realme) and Xiaomi competing in the global market by offering value for money just to grab more market share.

  • Wonderfool on 04/04/2020 - 00:57

    Aside from Haptic feedback and a slightly better cpu, this is sort of a downgrade compared to Mi9t.

    • sinners007 on 04/04/2020 - 01:11
      +1

      Different line I guess, Redmi Note vs Mi line. The Mi9T, has the better design IMO, AMOLED screen, better camera sensor & NFC. The RN9S has the bigger battery & SD card slot. The RN9S has a side mounted FP sensor which is likely quicker & more accurate than the under display FP sensor on the Mi9T & the CPU difference is negligible.

      • Wonderfool on 04/04/2020 - 01:24

        I mean, the camera itself sells me the phone. Heck, the phone is so cheap that the k30, which is what the Chinese version of the that series is called, is going to do away with the pop up cam, just to keep cost low, and give the pro version a differentiation factor.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/04/2020 - 21:02

      Redmi is intended to be their budget line, while the Mi series is intended to be their flagship line. Though Redmi has been creeping closer to the same level as Mi in recent models.

  • Kouta43 on 04/04/2020 - 01:07

    I'm currently running an old LG G6 which is obviously old tech, but is running a lot better since a recent software update. Would this be a significant upgrade to warrant buying or are there better options out there in this price range that also include a MicroSD slot?

      I've got a 9t pro, I'd wager it's a significantly better phone given the price and model line differences.

      That said, this is a lot of phone for $400 dollarbucks.

        Thanks for the replies. I did look at the MI 9T a while back, but the lack of SD Card slot was the only reason I didn't get it.

    • integral on 04/04/2020 - 10:37
      +1

      I've had a Mi 9T for about 1.5 weeks and the only real complaint I have is the fingerprint reader. It's a bit "slow" and inconsistent (sometimes unlocks instantly, sometimes takes 2 tries). Adding my finger a few times seemed to have helped with that. You also have to be very deliberate with your finger placement.

      I'd recommend using Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools to remove all the Xiaomi bloatware.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/04/2020 - 11:29

        Great tool but there's still some bloatware it wouldn't remove on my MI 10.

        I'm considering flashing xiaomi.eu but not sure if that's even worse from a security/privacy perspective.

        • integral on 04/04/2020 - 13:07
          +1

          Yeah there's still the security app which isn't removable from the Xiaomi tools software, probably because it'll break something.

          There's also the XPrivacyLua EdXposed module if you want even more privacy, tho it will stop SafetyNet from passing.
