      Still phone of the year for me

Legit feels like a year but turns out it's been only half a year lol, it's mi11X Indian variant by the way and right now with the miui 12.5 enhanced update, no bugs whatsoever. Just the black crush and a little bit of green tint on low light environment (not that noticable) which miui team has already adressed on their twitter account...

            ABigNo, 16 Nov 2021Mark my words. The Oppo you are using only getting updates ... moreWow, is that so? I had an Oppo phone since 2016 and it's around 2018-2019 when I realized it doesn't update its ColorOS. It can't even reach Android 10 because it's stuck in 6. Also the phone is Oppo A52 which is low-end because it's a bit cheap.

              Android.Authority, 16 Nov 2021If it's a Chinese brand, then it is automatically infe... moreHunty, who said anything about Chinese brands being "inferior"?
              Did you miss the part where I said that I'm using an Oppo phone?
              Oh and yeah, it's because of shills like you, Xiaomi won't improve their GARBAGE MIUI, because apparently, it's SuPeR SmOoTh!1!1!
              I don't hate Xiaomi, I actually applaud them BUT their software is still terrible.
              If BBK/Oppo managed to completely revamp ColorOS, then so can Xiaomi.
              Trust me, I owned a Realme 5 Pro and ColorOS 6 was a nightmare.

                If it had a decent main camera instead of 3/4 bad ones, this phone would have been unbeatable.

                Sadly, marketing takes priority over functionality.
                And being able to put "triple" or "quadruple" camera on the spec sheet is a must these days.

                    I bought Poco F3 couple of months ago and I love it. I had many phones including very expensive ones(iPhone 11, Galaxy S20) but I like Poco F3 the most. It's not very expensive so I'm not very scared if I break it or lose it but it have most features expensive phone have.
                    I have black version but I don't really care which color it is because I wear case and it's not transparent silicone ones because they get yellow really fast.

You will be lucky if Oppo decide to give it 2 Android version updates since it is only a midrange. Oppo only focus on their flagship models while midrange and budget models are usually ignored after 2 years.

                          yeah i bought this phone after using k20 for 2 years and very glad overall

                                I've been using this device for almost a year, now the proximity sensor is way better after miui 12.5 enhanced update, no dimming issues, camera is really good on daytimes (I prefer it over note 10 pro max's camera, my friend has one). The issue right now is the black crushing issue and the green tint which the miui team already addresses on their official twitter account. I hope they fix this soon...

                                  I have one, bought it when it was launched. As a day to day user I can say that it does relatively well what's asked from a smart phone in that price range, however the main negative issue for me is the proximity sensor (I think that's how it's called). While on a call the screen unlocks due to the very low quality of the sensor, and your ear starts pressing options that shouldn't be possible/available. From what I've heard, Xiaomi is changing providers of this item, which is good news for future owners of this phone

They can never be the best even though Gsmarena wholeheartedly recommended Xiaomi phones in every category in their last buyers guide. If that wasn't enough... they also told other manufacturers to pull up their socks, yet these haters have a habit of repeating same lies every time with an intention to malign the image of these Chinese brands.
                                      Luckily people are showing their love towards Xiaomi in the real world and no amount of trolllls on this site will change that.

                                        If you change your region for a short time sometimes the updates come sooner (like Switzerland for meas I live in Europe)
