After 4 years, the battery needs replacing. I get 3 hours of screen on time. There's ghost touch. The camera lags and takes really long to open. It was a good phone, but it's reached the end of its lifespan.
I'm switching to a Samsung Galaxy A35.

Regarding the battery drainage in latest update I should tell you that it was actually a miui 14 problem. My poco x4 gt had the same problem and was partially fixed when it got hyperos.
I also noticed some other Xiaomi phones which my family use had gotten worse with miui 14 too and got better after getting hyperos.

I have been using this phone for more than 4 years. It's a great device. I’ve used it heavily—overcharging it and sometimes letting the battery drain to 0%. Despite that, I'm still using the original battery, and I still get about 7 hours of decent screen-on time (SOT). In the earlier days, I got nearly 12 hours of SOT.
On the software side, the phone originally came with MIUI 11 on Android 10. MIUI 11 had some minor bugs, like the screen turning off during WhatsApp calls. Then, I updated to MIUI 12 on Android 10. The first iteration of MIUI 12 had a ghost touch problem, which was frustrating. I updated again to a later version of MIUI 12, still based on Android 10, and it was perfect. I used that version for nearly 3 years. After that, I decided to flash a custom ROM and installed CrDroid based on Android 14. It worked like a charm, and I rooted my device as well.
However, the issue with custom ROMs is that the camera quality became worse. The stock MIUI had perfect and unmatched camera quality. So, I went back to MIUI 13 based on Android 12. I used that version for nearly half a year, and it was perfect. The device is still working like a charm.
I did encounter one hardware issue: the phone would restart automatically, and the battery would drain instantly. I thought I needed a new battery, so I went to the official Xiaomi service center to get the phone repaired. The problem was with the battery connector malfunctioning, which is a common issue for the Note 9S and Pro models. They replaced the connector, which cost me 3000 LKR—a relatively low cost. After the repair, I've been using the device for another year without any issues.
Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. New mid-range devices under $200 can never beat phones like this.
I know newer Xiaomi mid-range phones aren’t as good.
