Any valid arguments, besides "it sucks because it... moreIt's much slower than AOSP (despite i'm using flagship device), it kills apps from memory very aggressively and batery life is poor. Also MIUI has some stupid limitations like not showing screen-on time, RAM usage and so on

Marco M, 31 Aug 2023Just out of curiosity, what do you mean with number 1? I... moreYes, I myself use 'One Click Lock Screen' app by Rushikesh Kamewar. But I prefer double tap to lock, as you can double tap at any blank space.

notafanboy, 31 Aug 2023Why? Any valid arguments, besides "it sucks because it... moreThere's a whole list of dumb "features" that MIUI does and nobody wants.
-Can't have custom lockscreen app (ie. wallpaper engine) the workaround was patched out
-Notifications bar WIPES when you unlock and relock the phone, unlock your phone to answer a call? Say bye bye to all the notifications you didn't see yet.
-Reading mode is probably the worst out of any device, it does not just remove blue light but instead changes the whole contrast and color range.
-Makes you wait 5 seconds to hit "okay" for EVERY, SINGLE, APP when changing permissions
-"Wow, its so customizable with themes!" JK, when using a custom theme you can no longer see app notifications on your lockscreen
-Same boring "super wallpapers" which are just slightly animated wallpapers
-Most custom content is "cringy"-tier stuff.
-Battery optimizer is so aggressive that even turning it off it will still kill your apps. You won't see app notifications until you actually open it on your phone. You can have 20 IG notifications and it won't show a single one.
-It is also so aggressive that it will actually TURN OFF YOUR ALARM

all xiaomi user will agree that MIUI operating system is the worst in the market! MI should sacked all their UI designers. who thinks that turning off bluetooth and Alarm for 24 hours only is a good usable step?

Isn't it better to single tap, rather than double tap, to turn off the display? Assuming I didn't misunderstand you.
I've used single tap to turn off the display since Motorola Milestone, using the lock widget that is one icon in size. I have the widget right by my thumb, slightly below the middle of the display to the very right of the display on my current phone (Mi 11).

Itll make a paper cut out in a dark room look like the moon so im guessing you were being sarcastic with that comment (if you're being serious then im sorry you had to find out samsung moon shots are completely fake).

As usually,nobody does it better with those 'Long term reviews' than GSMA.
Currently,base model (8/128) can be found easily for just under €700.I think it's a great buy these days.
Especially 'cause you're getting a proper flagship device,not a 'flagship killer"or some pumped up upper midranger.

I am using X13Pro since March and grown quite fond of it. I applied buff (plastic film) guard on front and back to make it anti-slippery. Never used a case. Its a brilliant device.
The only things I hate:
1. No option to turn Home screen off with a double tap
2. No swipe gestures to change music even when screen is off (i had oneplus before).
3. Slow updates and lack of proper online discussion forum.
