    Yet their flood of smartphones all have lag issues and are choppy and rough in general. Very unpolished half assed products even in miui 12.5. Get your sht together Xiaomi or you will be small again.

        Aan2007, 16 Jul 2021Why are Xiaomi's brands Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco counted... moreXiaomi subrands use MIUI except Blacksharks. BBK has Color OS, Funtouch OS and Oxygen OS so there's that differentiation. Most people just doesn't know that BBK even exist so they don't associate the subrand to BBK as their parent brand. Thus giving a general concensus of separation between BBK sub brands compared to Xiaomi's.

          Aan2007, 16 Jul 2021Why are Xiaomi's brands Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco counted... moreSub brands are diffferent than Another company. Bbk is their parent company, and most BBK companies are independent (except maybe Oneplus x Oppo later). Also, Xiaomi and its sub brands share resources

            Why are Xiaomi's brands Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco counted under one brand, but BBK's OPPO, Vivo and OnePlus and their subbrands are counted separately?

              The Android Freak, 16 Jul 2021Its not optimized properly. Thats why OP9Pro is sold well i... moreYup. In India, Asia, China, and Indonesia. Xiaomi phones are so much better in value that their downsides are easily forgivable. In europe, pricing is too strict. In my country, Mi 11 Ultra costs 1/2 as much as Iphone 12 PM. $200 cheaper than s21 Ultra, and same price as S21 and Oppo Find X3 (non pro). So it is an super easy pick. And when you say bugs, not all units are affected, only some units to those who are unlucky. As i said, Even my Poco F1 is bug and issues free

                Thats shame USA Government tryied to put their dirty foot on Huawei which were and still is far superior to any other brands.
                Why they dont do it with Apple or Samsung or any other.
                All brands have their good and bad habbits but Huawei bad habbit hasnt been confirmed so why???

                  AnonD-986036, 16 Jul 2021Mi 11 Ultra has no problems on software. I understand that ... moreIts not optimized properly. Thats why OP9Pro is sold well in US or western countries than Mi 11 Ultra despite being better phone for every penny.

                    AnonD-986036, 16 Jul 2021Before 2020, they have Realme to compete with them. But rig... moreRealme struggled to give better chipsets on their device. Snapdragon 720G is not acceptable for three iterations. No high refresh rate as well. People are going to dump you if you don't keep up with competition. Last year, Xiaomi was average in mid range segment. This year, they launched five devices and everything is excellent except software. Thats how it should be.

                      AnonD-986036, 16 Jul 2021Before 2020, they have Realme to compete with them. But rig... moreRealme is coming with three phones with three different chipsets. Snapdrgon 870/778G/750G. Realme GT master explorer Edition. Realme GT master edition. Realme 9 Pro. Hoefully every thing is priced correctly. From what I heard is Redmi Note 11 Pro is coming with 5G chipset snapdragon 768G and 200MP camera.

But that's because xiaomi every year releases a hundreds of models that needs to be optimized. And most people don't care about those bugs

MIUI 12.5 didnt solve issues on all of their devices. Snapdragon 732G is capable chip to handle 120Hz refresh rate. But its struggling, because Xiaomi is not able ro optimize it properly(On custom roms, it works like charm and gives excellent battery life). Same thing with Mi 11 Ultra and Poco F3.

                            Anonymous, 16 Jul 2021Look at apple growth... Only 1 percentBecause Xiaomi sells a lot of phones for $50 - $250. Not everyone has $1,000 for a phone. But that means absolutely nothing...

                              The Android Freak, 16 Jul 2021True that. Before 2020, they have Realme to compete with them. But right now, no one competes with Xiaomi.

There's an option for you. Markets needed to be filled with lots of different options, not many of same opinions phones. So i appreciate trying to differentiate their software rather than making it sane to Google's one. If All phones were to run Stock android, it is gonna be a hell lot boring

                                      Anonymous, 16 Jul 2021As long as people get top specs for cheap irrespective of p... moreOnly thing they need to improve is software. Once they do that, they will topple Samsung quiet easily. Xiaomi is giving snapdragon 870 at the same price as that of Samsung Galaxy A52 which gives snapdragon 720G/750G. Ridiculous.

                                        AnonD-986036, 16 Jul 2021Mi 11 Lite 5GNot available everywhere. It has problems of supply chain with respect to snapdragon 780G. You wont find device with that chipset again this year. Maybe next year.
