Mi Note 10 winner? Well that's a real joke, even a 7-year-old Nokia 808 PureView captures much better photo quality than that Xiaomi.
And while we're on the subject of that Xiaomi and PureView, judge this by yourself: https://youtu.be/nWxizwsevuE

In India the redmi winners are redmi 8,redmi note 7 pro, note 7s, partially redmi note 8 and note 8 pro..
The likes of k20,k20 pro failed badly when compared to poco f1 due to their overpriced nature even though they had everything top notch.
Redmi note 8 and 8 pro too suffered due to big success of realme 5/5s and xt/x2 line ups.
Mi A3 despite being based on android one didn't get timely android 10 (even in December) and was defeated by realme 5 pro.
The entry level realme C2 which is also getting Android 10 in April 2020 easily triumphed over the redmi 7/7A.
Overall a good year for redmi India but Realme has stopped their growth since their market share have remained at 26-27% in each quarter of 2019.

akw, 29 Dec 2019Yeah , i mean since it's 720P and Pentile , is it hard for ... moreThis, so much this! While an AMOLED screen for this price should only receive lots of praises, the fact is that the lower resolution (for the size) combined with the way PenTile display are made means a proper IPS screen would look in many ways better than this screen.
I actually have both the Mi A2 and the Mi A3 in the family and can tell you that while I prefer vastly the contrast and punchiness of the AMOLED in the A3, it is clearly the worse screen of the two when looking at finer details in photos. Every time I snap a more intricate photo with the A3 I always think it is out of focus, but it's actually the screen that's blurring the finer details. This never happened to me with the A2 or other (higher resolution) PenTile AMOLEDs.

bought The Mi 9T pro this year and... hands down.. the phone is f* amazing if you take in consideration price/design/performance/quality, everything looks/feels/runs like a premium phone and even the miui custom rom is great, has some mi useless apps but also has some really cool tools!
The only caveheat i see are the covers ... despite the best effort put in them... they still hide how stunning the phone is lol

I'm not sure about the Mi Mix Alpha...
but the Mi A3 isn't a Loser. It's definitely better than those overhyped A/M series from samsung.

How is Mi Mix Alpha a loser since it isn't even launched for commercial use?
Only a few thousand samples were made.
No tech reviewers have any proper Unboxing or hands on video, forget a full review

It depends on how good the company worked on screen.
Put these chinese oled phones beside iphone 8+ or xperia xz2 premium.
They will look like low ends.
Image quality will be far behind.

Xiaomi is really doing great at home but I encourage them to do same outside china. Take for example the mi 9pro 5G. They are really dominating here in Nigeria and are doing away with all these companies like Tecno and Infinix that offer nothing but design.
