    I hate MIUI (including JoyUI) to be honest, but it's probably my favourite among the Chinese OSes since the rest are a pile of garbage after Huawei's exit. Even OnePlus' OxygenOS, which was once praised for its near-stock experience and great support, has gone to shit these days. ZTE (and Nubia by extension) probably is the worst offender in terms of customer support and software updates despite fantastic hardware.

    Mediatek needs to release kernel source codes, Dimensity 8100 is already trashing its competitors in many areas and better developer support would make X4 GT an instant buy for me.

      Jemlim, 04 Jul 2022Black shark is part of xiaomi thoDifferent subsidiary company. Black Shark Pros are pretty much the 'premium' version of POCO's top-end phones, with better software support and hardware (eg. Black Shark 5 Pro doesn't face the same thermal issues as the POCO F4 GT), there's a reason why there's a pretty big cost difference between them.

        Many people don't seem to realise having no IP rating does not equate to no water/dust resistance; the companies often don't want to pay for the certification and extensive testing processes needed, especially if it's a budget phone. It's one of the no-brainer areas to compromise on if you want to cut costs.

        Many phones with no IP rating still end up having water/dust resistance in tests and reviews.

          Any mobile which is 20k+ having 2mp cam is unacceptable. It's a big let down for me not just this many other mobiles like this.

            Xiaomi really need to get a phone out that has IP water rating, 5000mah min battery and use whatever max wattage charging for that battery size and not chase battery watt marketing and please switch to using USB-C Type 3.0/3.1 for faster transfers!

                                        Good phones! A bit pricier these days but will come around in 2-3 months.

                                        Miui is great. I'm using xiaomi from 6 years ago and all of them are still working very good despite that some of them have remained on android 7.

                                        I don't see ads, I don't see more bugs or problems than Samsung's A series that I'm using at work. But contrary. Samsung is slower, has been effectively shutdown couple times due to the heat while my F3 has been working without problems.

                                        The only thing that I can complain is the camera, but in the price range is OK.
