    Have this bad boy

    Pros

    • Great display (high peak brightness)
    • 120Hz AMOLED
    • Solid CPU, no real lag or stutter (I dont game)
    • Reliable camera, about 20% better with Gcam installed
    • Battery life is 1.5-2 days with 10hrs screen on time

    Cons
    - general bugs (software)
    - Ads (Software)
    - buggy updates (software)
    - 4K video lacks stabilisation

    • +3

      ads ?

      • +12

        advertisements

        When install an app
        when you run the cleaner
        When you uninstall an app
        When you update system apps etc

        This can be turned off by manually going into each app and turning off 'recommendations'

        It also happens on the lockscreen lol

        • +14

          To be fair, my Samsung s20+ shows ads in the Samsung apps.

          • +1

            @alumunum: I'm not sure if Samsung's are able to be turned off, but I turned off my Xiaomi ads.

        • -6

          Is there an Android phone these days without ads? It's a Google problem not Xiaomi.

          • +2

            @Cheeper: OnePlus Nord 2

          • @Cheeper: It's an asian phone company problem, not googles. My previous phone (vivo s1 pro) had ads in these places too but my current phone (Pixel 3) doesn't

          • @Cheeper: To be fair i never saw it on my nexus or pixel devices, and i haven't really had much on a mi 9t either

          • +6

            @Cheeper: No, it's Samsung and Xiaomi.
            That's the reason why Xiaomi can produce cheap phone with great spec. They have huge ad revenues in China because they running a whole ecosystem there. They've everything.
            Samsung TVs got ad too. Even the most expensive ones.
            My Pixel doesn't have any ads in the UI but when you open the chrome, oh boy!

            • @Mi2: I am not getting any ads on my Samsung. Is it only for certain apps ? I have removed most of the samsung stuff including the launcher, may be that's why then.

            • +2

              @Mi2:

              but when you open the chrome, oh boy!

              use Firefox with uBlock origin, it blocks Youtube ads too.

              • +1

                @bazingaa: Don't like to use adblocker on YouTube because channels that I follow got low views but great
                quality contents. Just not for everyone. If I do then it would not be fair.
                But yeah, for everything else I use Firefox and Brave. Vanced and everything else is just for casual browsing.

                • @Mi2: Why not fair? Do you click on ads and buy stuff just because of that? Or?

            • @Mi2:

              My Pixel doesn't have any ads in the UI but when you open the chrome, oh boy!

              Try Brave

        • +1

          wow, that's awful…

        • Not sure about now, but with older MIUI's you can turn off the ads. But you have to do it for each thing. Change the setting in Cleaner, change the setting in Security, etc.

      • +3

        FYI, Google is ad company.
        In this case, xiaomi did the same job in a different way.

        • +2

          a very different way indeed , shove it right on the face

          • +5

            @dcep: What about track everything from u and sell it to someone?
            That is what google does day by day.

          • +2

            @dcep: don't agree - have had two redmi's now, you turn off most of the options and hardly ever see an ad.

    • +2

      You can consider custom rom, it may fix some of stability issues but will remove any ads(software built in) on your device.

    • +4

      You can turn all the ads off within MIUI.

      • +3

        Please tell me more how to do this….

        • +6

          Drain the battery all the way.

        • +1

          Copying and pasting from my post above…

          Not sure about now, but with older MIUI's you can turn off the ads. But you have to do it for each thing. Change the setting in Cleaner, change the setting in Security, etc.

    • Heya, looking at getting this one for a while. The custom ROM scene is huge, if you want to jump out of MIUI. Quick question - is the camera 'all that'? Do you know how it stacks against an S10 or S20 or iphone in real world usage?
      Obviously won't be as good for the price I just want to know how close it is 😁

      • +4

        honestly with Gcam.. lets say daytime/night photos are probably iphone XR level? sure if you hold steady night mode is really good.. but a steady hand is needed haha

        • Cheers!

    • Try installing blokada https://blokada.org/

      Great for blocking ads and to use Google DNS

      • +1

        I'd recommend adaway.org instead. Blokada often breaks important stuff, like miui updates. I got fed up with it.

        • Yeah that's a small problem. But You can white list sites or bypass apps.

    • +9

      I HIGHLY recommend the Xiaomi.eu ROM - it's the regular ROM, stripped of the ads and annoying things.

      There's a little bit of a process getting your phone unlocked, and the initial ROM load (you lose everything on your phone - factory wipe) but it was more stable, better battery (because most of the extra garbage ain't running) and you get updates over-the-air (though it reboots into recovery to install the updates - it's a 2 step process).

      Couldn't be happier (until someone releases Pixel Experience and irons out those bugs).

      • Does it still pass SafetyNet?

        There seems to be a bit of conflicting info out there with some people saying that, once you unlock the Bootloader, SafetyNet fails no matter what. Whereas others indicate differently. The main reason I haven't installed Xiaomi.eu on my Mi9T is that I really need my financial apps to keep working

        • +4

          I unlocked my bootloader, and installed the ROM.

          Safetynet is fine.

          If you root your phone, not so fine, and you need to hide root with Magisk or something. Never did it.

          All my financial apps work - well… I've only tried one. ING.

          Oh, Google Pay is fine too, have a bunch of cards loaded up there.

          That'll do ya.

          • +1

            @Droz: Cheers, I'm not fussed about root, so should be fine.
            Might give it a crack over the weekend

      • +1

        Check out ArrowOS (https://arrowos.net/) Similar to PE. Weekly updates for this phone

      • Second this.

        Installed the Xiaomi.eu rom on my Poco X3, never looked back.

        I like the MIUI skin so glad to still use it, and no bloat means a smoother experience. Great rom 👍

        • How is the camera? I am pretty happy with my 2.5 year old Huawei camera.

          • @hamwhisperer: It's not bad. Not super amazing but for this price point I can hardly complain.

            Huawei generally have cameras that are leagues above the rest (assuming you have a Mate or P series device), but the X3 still takes great snaps.

            Here's a quick example.

      • Would that still let Google Pay / Myki work? Sometimes custom roms make the NFC turn off for banks and stuff?

        • If you're rooted then yes.

          I don't think you need to be rooted for ArrowOS/any custom rom. I'm on the Xiaomi.eu custom rom without root and everything works fine, banking apps and all.

          • @mangobango: Awesome thanks. I don't care about root anymore either. I get most of my needs from stock Android.

            • @hamwhisperer: Yep you can still get by very well without root these days!

              Just realised I made a slight error in my original comment, was meant to be if you're not rooted then yes it will work.

              But it seems you understood it anyway :)

    • What's GCam?

      This is one of only THREE phones that match everything I want in a phone.
      https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2021&nCPUCore…

      The display curved or not curved? I think it's flat yeah?
      Few things, match the Mate 20 (non pro)

      • Google camera

    • I have a Mate 20 (non pro) I love the heck out of it.

      Is this thing close?

      I have so many good features, IR Blaster, USB-C, stereo speakers, flat NON CURVED! display, good battery life, nice performance.
      It works as wifi hotspot AND wifi bridge, the stuff it does is endless.

      Can you still Android Replace the launcher? So it's more tailored to your needs?

  • +1

    Mi max 4 alternative would be nice because my mi max 3 is too slow when switching apps for my work. I don't like the skinny screens.

    Comment deleted

  • +3

    Isn't Poco f3 better value for aud 70 more?

    • +1

      Better camera here I think

      • I have the F3.

        I actually wanted this one more (due to the slightly better camera), but it was sold out after the initial launch, and prices went up to $800+!

        The F3 is pretty good, but the battery life on the Note 10 Pro seems better due to the less thirsty CPU.

        Also, the stock software was absolute bollocks at the time of launch, but I'm on the beta versions of the xiaomi.eu ROM, which is just the regular MIUI ROM with the ads and things removed. Very close to stock, but without the annoying things.

        Pretty great.

        Oh, for some reason, the Note 10 Pro has an "official" bootleg Gcam released on it, whilst the F3 still doesn't for some reason…

        Either one would be fine, but you might prefer $70

        • Full "google apps" is on this phone right? Like a normal Android phone?

          Only Huawei have been booted off the ecosystem?

    • Yes

  • +2

    I had this phone 4 months all going great til latest update 10 days ago now lots of bugs like if I mute sound the lable won't disappear of screen for 15 mins same if I delete txts and auto rotate problems ,word correction is a nightmare now I never had issues like this b4 update, what's wrong with this people .

    • Are you referring to the MIUI 12.5 update? Keen to know if I should update mine or wait.

      • Yes MIUI 12.5.3. Don't do it .I'm going to try rolling mine back .

        • Thanks 👍

  • Wouldn't a poco x3 pro be a better choice at same price?

    • +1

      IPS vs AMOLED

      • Anything else? To me personally amoled is not that much of a big deal. Was set to get the x3 pro but still checking if there's a better choice

        • F3 is the best choice for a bit more $$

        • +1

          Poco X3 pro: better CPU
          Redmi Note: slightly lighter, dedicated SD slot, AMOLED display, better cameras.

          • @Chridim: Poco x3 pro also has faster storage and a better GPU.

            Basically if you just care about performance, then the x3 pro is about as good as it gets for the money from what I've seen.

            Especially at $268

            https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/636595

            • @Butt Scratcher: I was going to pull the trigger on the X3 pro but I heard that Volte and Vowifi won't work. Not sure if there is a work around.

              • @Chridim: I got VoLTE working on both my parents X3 Pros. It doesn't support VoWiFi though.

        • I'm in the same boat, but the x3 Pro is NOT the same price, it's $301 at BG currently (6/128GB), I'm just hoping there's a coupon like last month (7th July) that dramatically dropped the price.

          If you are reading this reps, please make it happen.

  • Supports an external TF card up to 128GB (VFAT) - does anyone know whether this is a hardware of software limitation (aka file system)? I noticed most phones currently only support micro SD no larger than 512 GB and always wondered why they dont support up to 1TB micro SD cards that have been on the market for some time.

    • Gd catch - need to check too bfore buying

    • yes i had wondered about this also for an old tablet that said expandable up to 128gb. I put a 400gb sdxc card that got recognized as 360gb. If the device supports SDXC cards, then 1TB can also be used.

  • +1

    NB Banggood also have the Mi 11 Lite 4G for US$279
    https://www.banggood.com/Xiaomi-Mi-11-Lite-4G-Global-Version…

  • Looked it up in the app, and it's showing AUD377.97. So paying in AUD is slightly cheaper than using credit card to pay in USD?

    • plus you can use afterpay

  • Is this better than my Poco X3 ?

    • It's a different phone at a different price point. Both are great value. You get what you pay for. I think this is worth the extra for those who want better camera performance.

    • Only in the display department - IPS vs AMOLED.

  • +3

    Not one word spoken here about warranty….

    This phone is a potential paperweight without one.

    • +1

      banggood are ….ok a warranty. Had a mini pc where the power button broke replacing the ram. They offered $100 rather than return it for repair.

      • +1

        Even though you opened it up? Interesting. A local store would tell you you're up sht creek

        I have heard people claiming they have been successful in warranty repairs and replacements via Xiaomi Australia, but I really don't know if I can believe it… It might be very few and far between.

        • +1

          Yeah I was a bit surprised. Seemed an ok result for me. Would really like to have Xiaomi Australia have a policy for repair.
          Bought a xiaomi in Vietnam and Xiaomi Vietnam repaired it no questions, no interaction with the original purchase shop.

  • +1

    Compare Xiaomi Poco F3 vs. Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro
    https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10758&idPhone…

    imo, poco f3 almost wins everythings except battery life (roughly 4%). (even if f3 costs $70 more)

    • Even camera? It's 48mp vs 108mp

      • Forget about the pixel counts with current cameras, it is almost irrelevant. Both cameras are saving 12MP photos after the pixel binning. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra blows both away camera wise (and most other phones) with a 50MP sensor.

        The 10 will be a bit better but it isn't drastically so. Looking at the samples they both look fine.

  • Your 2nd link is 64gb instead of 128gb

    • Good spot! Fixed

  • +3

    Anyone jumped into one of these from the mi9t pro? My 9t is still going great guns, but I'm always interested in an upgrade, especially for the 120hz screen

    Blah, after googling some more it seems the note 10 is not worth it

    • saved me the trouble

    • Seems a step down in CPU. I'm on the mi 9t pro too and none of these options step forward enough to be worth it. Wait until you break your phone.

    • Would be a step down in most respects. The f3 will be a step up processor wise and get you the 120hz oled.

  • can I ask if this phone have updated google play store?

  • +3

    This phone has (had?) terrible issues with proximity sensor (actually, the lack of such a sensor). I bought the 8/128 GB model from the launch deal on Aliexpress, sold it a month after I got the parcel.
    During the call its screen often unblocked itself and I started pressing stuff with my cheek - loudspeaker, hang up, notifications etc. It was so annoying! Also, once it started a Slack group call right in my pocket.
    I hope it's fixed now.

    • +3

      Sounds like it has one of those virtual software proximity sensors

  • c

  • +1

    A lot of phone for the money.

    it's actually tempting - I am disappointed by my S21 so far.

    • Same here but my S21's fingerprint scanner does not work many times and face recognition as well in the dark but my Iphone open the lock instantly

  • +1

    I wonder if you can salarysacrifice and/or claim part of it on tax?
