It's quite curious how different can feel two phones despite running SoCs with similar performance, at least in theory.

I have note 9 for 4 years. There is some problems i have with it. The android MIUI has the worst bloatware i have ever experienced. It was unstable, my phone randomly restarted and i had to disable all of bloatware to make it stable again. In few months to it, it crashed and it loaded "fast boot" with some rabbit on it. The same happened to brother who had redmi note 8 pro, and after that, i dont trust xiaomi anymore. 4 years, and the phone is needed to replace.

I have used both the Note 8 Pro (running MIUI 12, being unable to update to 12.5) and the Note 9 Pro (running MIUI 14), both with the same RAM (6 GB), and you're spot right on the performance comparison.
The former feels faster save random and rare hiccups, boots MUCH faster, and in some graphic benchmarks it gets better results than the latter, and the Note 9 Pro very rarely, if ever, has such freezes. That said, MIUI 14 seems to have less aggressive memory management than MIUI 12.

My phone is Redmi Note 9 pro Max-
Whenever I have to talk to some one I need to increase the volume and when I do that then the people around me hears our conversation from both the ends and sometimes it's really embarassing, and the reason to increase the volume is that the speaker (to hear) is not that great as it used to be and the drawback is only to increase the volume, does any one have any solution to this.

A bad device and not worth the money, and I do not recommend charging it with a commercial wire other than the original

I was a Xiaomi user and upgraded to this from my Note 7 two years back. This phone is a beast and running smoothly. Never had any issues. Yes the camera might not be as good as it's Oppo or Vivo counterparts within this range but I'm not much of a photographer any way. From what it seems, I might be able to squeeze out another couple of years from this phone which is quite rare these days.

I bought redmi note 9 Pro in mid December after my note 5 Pro was stolen. I was an MI lover but after using this fon I started facing issues from day one. It has signal strength issues, while my other fon with same network provider's sim is working fine. In last 6-7 months I tried resetting my fon or putting on aeroplane mode to get the network refreshed around more than 200 times. The other issue I m facing since the beginning is that during video call my side of video is totally red or pink. When I put my hand on front cam than it changes color and becomes a bit lighter. After waiting for updates and resetting my fon several times, I am forced to write a review. Now since last few days am facing a new issue. The picture be it on any online shopping site like Myntra or be it an image in gallery, some images turns out to be like an image in negatives. It changes its colour and appearance. And it's speaker is also not working. I am unable to hear the Caller unless I use a bluetooth. Very pathetic experience with this handset. Hands down.

Hi everyone
Any one facing automatic reboot for note 9 p... moreDEVICE: Redmi note 9 pro ( global)
MIUI: 12.0.1.0
ISSUE: random reboot issue on my note 9 pro. the restart issue has destroyed my redmi note 9pro global. I tried hard resetting my device. but it didn't work. in fact the reboot issue didn't let the hard reset complete and it turned off in the middle of the process then it kept on restarting. I can't even switch off my phone. it turns back on and keeps on rebooting. one thing I've noticed is that when even my finger touches the power button even when I'm not pressing it the device gets out of the restart loop error and boots up.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE: This happens every day when i use my phone. it will just restart and will keep on restarting on Redmi logo vibrating and making my phone hot

About 5 month of usage.. no complaint.. 16++ hr screen on time with WiFi. One and half hour charging time.. Good screen even for LCD, loud and clear speaker even mono, fast GPS, doesn't heat to much when gaming, premium feel glass design, great photo with Gcam, NFC ready, IR blaster if you're too lazy to grab your TV remote, in under 300 bucks.. What else would you expect?
Of course, there is some bad things.. Mediocre recording quality, bad RAM management (only in Miui 12), No EIS in 4K and 60 fps, slow update and bug fix, and MIUI forum site is ugly..
