      wendle_spanswick, 06 Apr 2019Why is anyone buying new phones right now? 5g is about to ... morewhat would you do with 5g, that you cant do with 4g? unless you already got the max speed for 4g and your demands require more speed
      for me, my current 60-70mb net speed is sufficient.

          If you dont need wireless reverse charging or 5x camera, then Mi9 is the best choice. Xiaomi is still young company so they need more time to make Wow effect, but they are pretty close - 100 W fast charging is Wow to me. I am owner of Mi9 for 2 weeks and I love that phone. It is fantastic for the price, I am surprised with photo quality ( I did my own test with 5 years old APS-C), huge progress of mobile photo quality, 27 W fast charging is game changer as you need only 30 minutes to get 70% so I am not charging during night anymore but while I have breakfast. SD855 is very fast, no lags, no more waiting for Spotify to start up. The phone is selling in my country like hot cakes. First batch was sold out in few days, second which is on its way is sold out already. I dont think that production of 1 million of Mi9 for month is enough. My only complain is endurance in idle, but it can be fixed by optimalization of MIUI ... anyway GOOD job Xiaomi. Mi9 is a bang

            Why is anyone buying new phones right now?
            5g is about to hit, and none of these flagships support it.

              AnonD-241270, 05 Apr 2019are you kidding?! Mi 9 have a "wow" factor even bigger than... moreYou are either missing the whole point there, or you do not really understand what he is talking about, or you don't know what a "wow" factor really is..
              You say: "Mi 9 have a "wow" factor even bigger than S10 trio or Huawei ones, cause that build and price, give me a 2019 high end with those specs and look for about 450/500?"
              So I assume that you are keeping the price label sticked onto your phone so that you'll be looking at the price every time you look at your phone.. Or you have engraved the specs at the back of your phone..
              The "wow" factor is the reaction of your eyes when you're looking at an S10 screen coming alive. The wow factor is what you feel when you're holding a Mate20, P30pro or even the fruity one in your palm. The wow factor is when you're taking a photo with a P30Pro, or when you're using a Note9 stylus for spreadsheets. The wow factor is when you're sitting at the wheel of a Mercedes S class, or when you drive a Tesla....

                Anonymous, 06 Apr 2019Yeah well, but people don't boast buying Xiaomi phone becau... moreYou're right, no one boasts about having a Xiaomi. I've never actually seen anyone brag about having an expensive phone in real life, just on the internet

                However, boasting about an expensive phone is just as normal as praising one's favourite brand, isn't it? And the flame wars, brand-bashing and one-sided criticism, ain't that all a problem? No, it's all normal. Human nature kinda normal. I don't think Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung and Apple fans can avoid fighting each other, nobody's perfect

                  Anonymous, 05 Apr 2019Mi 9 has everything that flagships have except the price ... moreThat depends on what the customers think what a flagship should have (there are still people who want IP ratings, jacks, the biggest storage, etc). But I do agree with you that the Mi 9 is very special in its own case: Top-notch build quality and SoC for the lowest price

                    "I don't mind paying several hundred bucks for its logo" says no Xiaomi user.

                      Aan2007, 05 Apr 2019that's all nice and dandy, but not very useful considering ... moreSamsung s10 and s10e have 3400 and 3100
                      All iphone has less than 3300
                      These phones sell like hotcakes
                      Why only complaining about xiaomi?

                        Aan2007, 05 Apr 2019that's all nice and dandy, but not very useful considering ... more1st of all the Mi 9 and Mi 9 SE got pretty good battery life even with these battery capacities.
                        2nd the Redmi Note 7 (non Pro) also have a 4000 mAh battery and is global.
                        If you want a better SoC, maybe wait for the Poco F2.

                          Eclynoh, 05 Apr 2019It has the global version. Use Google Translate to read the... moreThanks for the heads up. Also, I love Romania. I wish I could go back soon.

                            that's all nice and dandy, but not very useful considering small batteries in mi9 and mi9 se, why can't Xiaomi just make phone with proper battery? oh yeah, they made Redmi note 7 pro which they keep only for Chinese and Indians...

                              Alex 94, 05 Apr 2019And that is??Beats me, I'm not Xiaomi. They're the ones that have to come up with something, that is if they want to overtake Huawei and Samsung (for the flagship line-ups)

                                Essanpe, 05 Apr 2019MI 9 is absolutely well prices phone with beast specs but s... moreThey don't need any X factor, well sometimes they do give one but just assume it's not guaranteed. They just care about number of sales, not really profit, and looks like they won't stop until they become number 1. They're not yet at the level where you have this tiny little X factor that might not matter for most people but may skyrocket the phone price, which means losing a lot of sales for profit (which might or might not happen).
