Many people here say that software not being polished is kind of a problem but that is irrelevant - you can always install alternative app and you should. I would be most happy if all those default garbage "apps" are left out on ANY phone (i.e. minimal install) - just give me OS and let me be, I can install stuff I use on my own. You should never use apps tied to vendor as portability of your tools is most important. Not only Xiaomi phones are cheaper, but technology is IMO way better then that of Samsung and friends: - Face recognition NEVER FAILS. It fails on MS Surface (and in kinda embarrassing way really), Samsung, Huwei etc. but never on Xiaomi - it can rain, snow, you can change haircuts... its irrelevant, it only scan eyes. - MAUI is way less bloated IMO then alternatives - Glass is awesome on my Redmi - I recently dropped it on asphalt (which is very sharp) from 1.5 meter height and then I hit it with my foot while walking so it slide on asphalt on the glass side, traveling around 5 meters. I thought it will go to trash can after that, but I picked it up and there was just a small scratch ! Amazing I am not judging only using phone xperience - all other gadgets I got from the company are great and 3 times cheaper then alternative - air cleaner, roborock etc. Good job Xiaomi.
