    Exact opposite of Samsung Galaxy
    I have been looking for al long term phone to retire mine S6 and due to the screen prices Samsung wasn't a way to go. While on Samsung You get High-spec hardware wasted b the firmware (Upgrade to lineage usually giving you several times the phone),
    MIUI is closer to Lineage. With few Asian downfalls

    Thanks to a very lite UI phone doesn't get to use more then half the cores and as such the battery lasts a long time. Cameras are OK : Low spec hardware, with light app with andy torch feature within camera app. (the watermark on a picture makes it look cheap but after you notice it first time its easy to disable it)

    The hole UI experiance is however lowered with few cheap junky features like the virus scanner with add for every new app (I did not bothered to seek the way to disable it yet)
    I do not expect it to be on a level of Googles own and as such its pointless outside china.
    The cheaply made tuning app (again with add) is something that most roms have built-in.
    The UI lowers itself down even more by unnecessary apple like icons making it look like imitation iPhone. This is putting the phone down unnecessarily as many consider android superior to IOS.
    It comes with with PICO GAPS (well done for less GOOGLE junk) and if you want more Google stuff you can add it. ROM comes with some spam apps (most noticeably aliexpress which will keep spaming your notification area)most of which can be removed. Camera is probably the only well made XIomi app (FM radio app is Neither good/nor bad). The rest of them are inferior to the common equivalents, especially the media player (including the gallery one) that struggles with most videos (vlc hapily replaces it).
    Big negative is the issue with holding phone heavily influencing the signal level. (most I have ever seen)
    I could not find a custom ROM, and Dont think I can make Lineage for a second phone, I dont have the time it took me on mine old S6 (inferior to the mainstream unofficial), but I hope somebody might

        How do you find the quality of the "Wireless FM Radio"

          Just purchased mine. 4GB RAM 64 internal storage version. Updated it to MIUI 12.04 Stable. Excellent performance overall, outstanding battery life, great audio and calls quality, nice music player and plugins for earphones. Beautiful designed and feels comfortable in hand, carbon gray color looks fantastic and with the semi transparent silicon case looks almost black. Best phone ever had.
          Won't compare, won't criticize or throw sand on its eyes because of price or some other intricate tech details we all know. It's a great phone, worth every cent.

                    Anonymous, 31 May 2021Sorry I didn't see GSmaren spec info before I was in a... moreg80 doesn't support 4k...
                    most importantly you should have checked out the spec..

                      I am using this phone for about 4 months. My experience is not good. It lags most of the time. The only thing I like it's Battery backup.

                        Sorry I didn't see GSmaren spec info before I was in a hurry. I think this is good for 4k and vr, it turns out to be the same as redmi 4x lag not playable, even from the quality I said 4x better in terms of build quality and compact compact, if this is like a plastic tv toy, even twrp miui eu dont support it forced to do this with Bloatware and Miui's typical advertisement originally rom. Even my 70 $ xperia xz secondhnd is better in terms of uhd 4k vr playback and clarity of color contrast but the batteries are only 3sot.
                        In my opinion, the advantages of this plastic phone are

                        RAM 4 usable 2GB
                        64gb usable40gb
                        battery 7sot hard usage.
                        Android 10
                        Screen like tv
                        Good for movies
                        The bad
                        not VR friendly
                        inaccurate contras
                        Twrp not supported
                        Miui eu not supported
                        Hard to root

                              Heavy21299, 23 May 2021Should i update to miui 12 or nah?Absolutely not. Good chance you brick your phone. If you want newer android just go with a ROM, its unironically safer.

                                William Ug, 24 May 2021Hello please I need your help I updated my redmi 9 to MIUI... morei dont know, but even if i know i am not sure i have to tell you :)
                                i can only tell you some good force prevented you from "updating" to bad miui 12. it drains battery and probably there is no way back to miui 11. xiaomi usually doesnt allow downgrade.

                                  Heavy21299, 23 May 2021Should i update to miui 12 or nah?be extremelly happy with miui 11. miui 12 is draining the battery. from other side maybe its true that miui 12 is more secure... you know. but know that that probably there is no bringing back to miui 11, xiaomi has anti roll back on the phones.

                                    Hello please I need your help
                                    I updated my redmi 9 to MIUI 12 but after downloading

                                    Saying data was from a different sources
                                    So please help me out on how to fully update to a MIUI 12

                                        Anonymous, 10 Apr 2021interestingly cpu-z shows that it has a whole bunch of sens... moreThe gyroscope is not real, it's a virtual device, the data comes from aggregating real accelerometer sensor and real magnetic field sensor, via "sensor fusion", Kalman filter. It was saved for budget. Real gyroscope provides a reading within milliseconds, but sensor fusion has a delay of at least a hundred milliseconds, usually more. So it's not at all useful to provide image stabilisation and any such features.

                                        The only instantaneous reading is from accelerometer alone, but from that you can not determine whether and how much the phone was shifted laterally (no compensation needed for infinite focus distance) or rotated (compensation needed). For nearby focus distance, the compensation required for these two different movements is both needed, but it runs in the opposite directions for the same accelerometer input, but it's also not usually implemented, since infinite-focus assumption can provide an overall less confusing result.
