    Gino76ph, 17 Jul 2024If i can disable ads by turning off recommendations and not... moreSome apps like Themes allow you to disable ads, but they may still occasionally show up from time to time. Doesn't matter if you have Private DNS turned on or not.

    For 1st party apps, some of them can be uninstalled, but others such as GetApps, Mi Video, and Mi Browser cannot. Most other manufacturers like Samsung are no different regarding this, even Google themselves preload their Pixel phones with Google apps not everyone will use.

    For security updates, it's usually every 2-3 months, while OS updates may be irregular. But they do post roadmaps of which devices will be getting the latest OS update on their social media accounts once in a while, so keep an eye out for them.

    HyperOS certainly isn't perfect and I certainly have my own gripes with it, but I feel like its weaknesses are exaggerated. The phone is still perfectly usable for everyday usage and is quite snappy, it's just not for the ones looking for the most stable or clean experience with regular software updates.

    If you want the cleanest software experience with long updates, consider getting a Pixel instead.

      rsss, 19 Jul 2024Does redmi is receiving same amount of OS updates same as S... moreAs for why Samsung is removing the headphone jack, well... Apple started removing them since 2016 with the iPhone 7/7 Plus to try to sell their AirPods to more people, and almost every company have been slowly following suit since.

      You can buy a USB-C to 3.5mm jack dongle if you want to keep using wired headphones, but they won't sound as good as using a dedicated headphone jack.

          Also care to ask why samsung is removing now the headjack fer earphones, I am not a fan of bluetooth devices :(

                RS, 18 Jul 2024WHICH one is better Redmi note 13 pro or A55 of samsung?I have both the A55 and this Redmi. A55 is snappier, software is more polished and battery is better.
                I like the Redmi's main camera a bit more, same for the screen (and screen bezels) and speakers. It is slimmer and less heavy. But the Samsung is really good. I think it is unfair to compare them since the Galaxy is more expensive and goes against the Redmi Note 13 Pro+. This one should compete against the A35, and there I think this is a better device overall.

                  Gino76ph, 17 Jul 2024If i can disable ads by turning off recommendations and not... moreMotorola isn't very good either. Xiaomi official statement is to offer 90 days between updates.

                    The A35 is closer to the Note 13 Pro in pricing and is a more fitting rival. Whichever one is better depends on your needs:

                    Redmi Note 13 Pro has a better main camera, a better display, Snapdragon processor, a headphone jack, faster charging, and a complete box with all accessories included - USB cable, wall adapter, and case.

                    Samsung A35 has better durability, better battery life, better speakers, a micro SD slot, better selfies, better video recording, and longer and more regular software updates.

                        if i can uninstall all 1st-party apps then I'm in.
                        I could live with quarterly security updates but it has to be accompanied with 1st-party app optimizations, maintenance or quality of life updates. But waiting for 6-9 months of new system/OS updates is intolerable.
                        Unless I see proof of Xiaomi improving all these in the current version of Hyper OS then i'll probably stay clear of them like the plague.
                        I see Samsung as similar to Xiaomi. Their 1st-party apps is seeing an increase in ads, and i don't like some aspects of One UI the performance being one of them because (like Xiaomi) is bogged down with bloateware.
                        Would you say Motorola is slightly better with the updates cycle & timeline than Xiaomi?

                            From what i read you still can't uninstall all 1st-party apps. That for me still is a concern. You can disable ads but not totally eradicate it from the system unless you connect your phone to a PC and delete everything you don't want.
                            Security updates are different from system updates. You seem to imply they are the same. I could live with quarterly updates but it has to be accompanied with 1st-party app optimizations, maintenance or quality of life updates. But waiting for 6-9 months of new system/OS updates is also intolerable.

                                This phone, like many others from Xiaomi and Poco, doesn't have AOD. Showing "AOD" for 10 seconds is not AOD, as the name implies: ALWAYS ON Display.

If you're concerned about bloatware, you can now remove it with ladb apk by tribalfs without computer (on newest android versions). Another problem with xiaomi however is the ram management which is non existent even on their flagship phones which is just insane. For that reason alone, I had to go with samsung. And for apps like video player etc you have to find an alternative because they display ads in between when you pause a video which is ridiculous. You can counter that with custom dns and disabling internet access for specific app, but there's no guarantee that it will work

                                        Is anyone having Wi-Fi problems with this device? I have 300Mbps at home, my old broken POCO X3 NFC reaches 280Mbps in speedtest, another POCO X5 Pro reaches even better with 290Mbps, and so another Samsung A13 and Moto Z4. Except this Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, it barely reaches 100Mbps. All tests were made on the 5GHz band (I disabled 2.4GHz band). Even I self-hosted iperf3 server on my PC to do a local speed test and the result on this device is the same. And yes I'm right next to the access point. I don't understand how every device reaches good speed results and this device can't. Forgot to mention I bought it barely one month ago, never dropped, always with plastic case. I realized this problem when transfering local files to my PC, it was taking more time compared to my previous POCO X5 Pro.
