This flagship of 2019 still impresses me (when rooted and MIUI removed), in fact I can't find alternative for year 2020.
Mi 10 - spec killer again but heavy
OnePlus 7,7T,Pro - heavy, without features, no QC/Qi
Samsung S10,Note10,S20 - disfunctional fingerprint
Google Pixel 4,4xl - pathetic features, poor battery
This Mi phone still has clear strong LED notification light, IR blaster, QC compatible super fast charging without need to buy a specific chargers, crazy fast wireless charging and the weight is still decent!

You guys really shouldn't recommend phone like the 9 mi9T which lacks too many LTE bands. Do they even care? They will never pay attention until sites such as GSM arena points out that the world wants their phones, but they need to include all of the basic LTE bands. in North America the only phones that have a reasonable amount of bands is the Mix series 1,2 and 3. The Mi8, and the Mi9, all of these special variations of the 9, T, Tplus, pro etc always lack the most important bands for At&t and Tmobile. When $100 phones such as the undesirable Umidigi and Blu, comes with all bands, then why doesn't Xiaomi? one Plus has all bands! Cmon Xiaomi fix this gaping issue.

They compensate it by using faster shutter speed and crazy high ISO, followed by noise reduction. Sure the raw stream isn't as good as one with OIS, slower shutter speed and lower ISO but the resulting image is good enough for daily use. Moreover, the video EIS is slider smooth so OIS isn't really missed.

Poor camera compared to huawei top dogs. So pitty because I always loved Xiaomi. My wife has note 10 pro for 1 month now and she and me love it.
I am very eager to see if mi 10 pro when released will be enough monster camera for me.

Agree with most of the video but my experience of battery life is not that good.
The display is AMOLED, and battery life is very related to how you exploit this. If you use true dark themed apps and keep the screen brightness set low then you can absolutely get through a day without charge, and it perfectly usable indoors.
However, for outdoor use, especially in the summer, you need to increase the screen brightness, and that once it is no longer at the very minimum, battery is consumed fast. If you are viewing mostly white content, which often happens when internet browsing, then again the battery doesn't last long.
If you need to view white content outdoors, for instance reading an important web page while riding the bus, then you are down to an hour or so of battery life.

I'm in the US and never owned a Chinese brand phone except a previous One+ (which was great) and took a chance buying the MI9. For such a long time, I was rockin the excellent LG V20 with removable battery, IR blaster, expandable memory, wide angle lens, quad DAC and wanted a new replacement that had as many of those features as possible for cheap. The MI9 fit the bill with good build quality and really excellent hardware value. My concerns about the small battery, no 3.5mm jack, and lack of SD slot ended up being a non-issue. The one thing I don't like is the Miui OS. I have the global version and despite digging down into all the obscure settings, it still has a lot of pop up "ad suggestions" and it keeps wanting permission to use default Xiaomi apps and services. I have concerns about privacy and there are a couple of annoying glitches with the caller app and the fingerprint sensor. Other than that, it's a fantastic hardware value that needs software improvements. I guess that's probably common for native Chinese electronics. My old One+ didn't have software issues...

The only thing that stops me from liking the Mi 9 is the lack of OIS. Xiaomi may trade that for a native ultrawide lens, but it didn't perform as good as its last year predecessor, the Mi 8, in video and low-light.

I picked the OnePlus 7 over this, but the Mi 9 does have faster charging, wireless charging and extra cameras but what I'm really missing are the cameras, the OnePlus 7 just have a depth sensor as second camera, so quite useless.

OnePlus 7 has a bigger battery, brighter display, stereo speakers, USB 3.1, almost waterproof if you check teardowns between both phones.
