User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

After looking at all the phones available right now this is my opinion about the phone:


Be aware of the cons this one has:
* No HDMI (MHL) - Can't really be solved unless broadcasting
* No 3.5mm - Can be solved with BT AptX HD receiver
* No SD-Card slot - USB OTG can allow storage extension
* USB 2.0 (but USB-C) - No fix possible
* No 5G - No fix possible

But keep in mind the positives:
* Dual-channel GNSS
* USB OTG
* IR Blaster
* Good camera
* Good aftermarket possibilities
* 500€ cheaper than the alternative that has the things listed above
* WiFi 802.11ac
* Under-screen FP scanner
* Good chipset (best available currently)

      I have just got a Mi 9 (128gb/6gb) two days ago in Singapore for SGD 699.00. The camera is great and the processor is fast too. It still runs cool when my old Oppo R9 pro gets very hot during gaming. However, Mi 9's pre-installed apps all have advertisement, including browser, music player or almost anything inside. I hope they don't drain my data flat from just popping up for any apps i used.

            MrsFriday, 02 May 2019Xiaomi Mi9 better or Huawei Nova 4 better or Honor View 20 ... moreHonor view 20 is better than nova 4 for the price except it does not have an amoled display. But i would go with the mi 9 because of the camera/processor/charging/dual band gps and in fact the price is lower than both of the nova 4 and view 20

                            Anonymous, 26 Apr 2019Mi9 (128gb), View 20 or p30 (not pro). Which one is better ... moreif we say about p30 pro so definitely p30 pro

                            but! when talking about p30 :
                            your option is: 1.Mi9 2.P30 3.V20

                              So I settled with the Mi9 in the end. Gave away OnePlus "Never Settle" 6T and Galaxy "Heavy brick" Note9.

                              It's so hard to find a flagship phone, as i search for this in legendary Phone Finder:
                              - water resistant = yes
                              - SD card = yes (oops!)
                              - RAM = >=6GB
                              - wireless charging = yes
                              - fingerprint = anywhere but NOT in the back
                              - rootability and community support !
                              - decent battery !
                              - weight and looks !

                              Water resistant: all of them are
                              SD card: Samsung only, but can live with it thanks to USB/USB-c micro flash
                              RAM: is ok everywhere, OnePlus typically giving more
                              Wireless charging: Unfortunately 6T ommited Qi 5W, 10W, 20W and also QC 2, 3 and 4. I'm NOT going to buy specific proprietary chargers and put them to home, car, office, parents house etc. No, i'm going to use the Qualcomm standard. Can't care less if they come up with 100W charger next time. Xiaomi is now not only fastest CPU/GPU pack, but also charging device. I wasn't sure but the Mi9 is backward compatible with all forementioned standards a the insane 20W charging is now standard too.
                              Fingerprint: what stupid idea to put it in the back. That time is over. Now we got ugly notches... I actually would prefer S10E side button as on-display is NOT reliable yet.
                              Rootability: Kudos to OnePlus! Easy and everything works afterwards. Extremelly annoying process for Xiaomi - terrible ROM, terrible unlock process, but all is working. I do recommend AOSP - far better. Samsung is not that easy anymore, S10 situation looks ugly and you WILL lose some functionality. Huawei etc is completely out of question here.
                              Battery: Kudos to OnePlus, clear winner. But you can optimize Mi9 a lot. In the end achieved some extremely good results on wifi. Samsungs have alwas BAD battery.
                              Weight and looks: Note9 has terrible weight, but kudos to S10E and S10 for keeping ideal 150g! 6T is heavy, Mi9 is acceptable. Mi9 looks sexiest, very nice thin body.
                              Price: doesn't matter but hey, Mi9 is crazy cheap.

                                Mi9 (128gb), View 20 or p30 (not pro). Which one is better in term of camera, gaming and battery performance, it is very difficult for me to choose. Almost same price in my country.

                                  XXX, 25 Apr 2019P30 is better overall, i have mi 9, but in my country from ... moreP30 and P30 Pro screen aren’t better than mi9 since both screen comes with POE OLED panel plus video a lot better in mi9 even compare it to P30 Pro.

                                    Advantages I want to point out with Mi9 over P30 is that Mi9 has wireless charging (I no longer use cable, I switched to wireless charging 2 years ago, and haven't gone back since, so if I was to buy a new phone, P30 wouldn't be considered), and the fact that huawei no longer unlocks bootloaders on their phones.

                                        HKNY, 25 Apr 2019These significant price increase on Mi9 would make me not b... moreyou are right .. sd 855 steal my mind too... for me the p30 is better in everything.. first we have huawei store here and their service is great.. xiaomi is not available here at all.. i worry about the warranty of xiaomi.. second xiaomi made it for 500$ .. why i should pay 700$? .. and p30 with 8 gb of ram this very important to me.. and everyone know huawei camera too... there is 3.5 mm jack too.. and about gaming i just play pubg that work fine on my mate 10 lite with 80k on antutu.. it will work great on kirin 980.. i think the sd 855 is just much power and not really need it for now with all this differences.. i like taking pictures but not video.. i will probably get the p30.. about s10e is more than 800$ .. so i will not.. and it is with exynos not sd 855... so not much difference between kirin 980 and the exynos..
