    Dan, 15 Feb 2019Overpriced compared to Mi 8. Looks better though.They did, however, announce that the prices will be going up for Xiaomi phones since Redmi is now a separate brand focused on more affordable devices. No surprise here

        I hope this is not true, because this is not what Xiaomi was intended to be, this is definitely not a good price in a mindset of "innovation for everyone"

          Ayva, 15 Feb 2019Those chin sizes are fake. According to the chart, vivo x23... moreWell that’s the Chinese for you.. the country that sells cars that look like others and with courts that claim they don’t look like them..

            $885 is insane its almost same as rumored.S10 price and Xiaomi is young company and not much recognized so its better to undercut

              AnonD-731363, 15 Feb 2019Still a very good price compared to Samsnung Sony or Apple ... moreno, it's a pretty bad price compared to them. there are large shortcuts with Xiaomi (and Oppo & Vivo) devices. Not least the ridiculously high SAR values on almost all Xiaomi phones. Consumers are mad to pay premium prices for lazy, badly engineered and potentially dangerous devices.

                  I am considering Xiaomi Mi9 as a replacement for my X Compact if Sony will not release XZ4 Compact, but is Xiaomi releasing Android security patches every month like Sony do through the entire model support?

                    $885 in China, so 900 euros in Europe. And it's main selling point is a 0.2 mm thinner "chin"? Wow ...

                      "30% increase in one year? What are they smoking? If it isn't 5G there is zero excuse for the kind of increase" It's because they separated the brands Redmi,Poco will release A budget Flagship while Mi is aiming to be more premium.

                        Those chin sizes are fake. According to the chart, vivo x23 has smaller chin than Iphone X (3.87mm). But these pics say otherwise:

                              $516 in China will probably mean around $700 for global launch. Ie, too expensive

                                Still a very good price compared to Samsnung Sony or Apple which are on par with benchmark tests.
                                But for a lesser price you get a much better MUI compared to Samsung or Sony Bloatware and buggy laggy IOS which for example not charging your device and other prebuklescent malunctions it usualy have.

                                  $885? Wow. I did not expect that massive increase. I hope it comes with a standard 256GB option with 10GBs of RAM.
