MarOMG, 08 Sep 2021I'm converting croatian prices to USD and Euro becouse... moreYour price surely includes local taxes and VAT, US prices don't.

    Stascko, 08 Sep 2021Overpriced.Go buy the "cheaper" POCO F3 that now comes with Xiaomi's trademark RESTART LOOP after the MIUI 12.5 "Enhanced" Update, then!

          ElioX, 08 Sep 2021Well, first things first. 1. Moto was using AOSP. That is ... moreAllow me to add what I know. I am using a Mi 9T now. It is an ANZAC set and I am using it in Malaysia. Didn't need to disable ads because I never encounter them since using the phone from 2019. Yes, no ads popup after installing new apps and using the security scan. I know users from other regions are encountering ads, so I believe the ads situation is different between countries.

          Regarding OS updates, the phone already got 2 OS versions from Android 9 out of the box to currently Android 11 running MIUI 12.1.4. Since it is a midrange model, I would say that it's good Xiaomi still supporting a model that already passed 2 years old.

                    Apart from the heating issues the device is good. Very well written review. The phone for me isn't reliably enough. Looking forward to the Pixel 6.

                      Anyone that know if it supports dual frequency GPS (L5)?
                      I would also miss 90/120 Hz refresh, otherwise all fine.
                      The major problem is that it is not sold outside of US, so I cannot buy it anyway.

My wife is in software development and they have hundreds of levels and categories in work. And also, if your friend works in a place where rents are starting from 5000$ (i.e. the center of computer sciences, Silicon Valley in San Francisco) then that is also normal. Anyways, the prices of devices have always been the same in the US and EU with the only difference being the eur instead of usd.

I have friends all over USA and with similar jobs in Germany we get more salary. It is not to compare. It is just a fact. And it is also true that we get about 40% tax per salary which decreases the overall net income to pocket. But salary is still higher. You may have mistaken my words as income in country or wage per capita. Those are different cases obviously.
